evening in the Auditorium theater connected with the hotel of that name and capable of seating 6000 or 7000 spectators There was not a vacant seat to be had when the serious business of the evening the hour between seven and eight having been filled up by solect pieces of music given by the band of the irst regiment On the platform were seated Senator Gray of Delaware: John ellows of New York rahklln of Chicago many other prominent sup porters of the sound inoney cause and a large number of Jadles' Roswell lower of New York In call ing the meeting to order announced with emphasis that the question to be discussed the democratic side of the currency ques llon was one which threatened to imperil the life of the democratic party He paid especial attention to the interest of the fanner In sound finance and declared that the raisers of cotton wheat and corn had been misled on the currency question and were imperiling the life of the democratic party and the welfare of every man in the land who owns a dollar statement which the audience indorsed and approved by ap plause Gov lower who spoke earnestly and affectedly concluded his short address by introducing ranklin McVeagh as the chairman of the meeting Where thefirat speaker had attacked only the argument of the free silverltes Mr McVeagh attacked their arguments and their methods He laid aside his man uscript for a moment to add emphasis by gesture to his vigorous denial that a ma jority of the democrats of the United States would of their own choice offer a pixteen to one platform to the people ot the United States He denied that the convention represented the people because If Illinois had not alllgned Itself with free silver there would have been no majority of delegates for sixteen to one and then he trumpeted this defiance to the demo cratic powers that be tn the state: nois In this convention is stinking and saturated with fraud" The bitterness in the speaker's tones and the sting of his words electrified the audi ence which brokeoutlnenihusia8tlcand prolonged cheers As the applause began to die away the speaker continued: "The movement in Illinois has risen on the disfranchisem*nt of honest money democrats" Another burst of cheers In terrupted the speaker who gathered voice to shout with ail his strength "And Illi nois marched at the command of Altgeld" After Mr MacVeagh had finished In re sponse to loud calls William Russell came forward His speech was a powerful argument dealing more with facts than with sentiment and he begged the silver men to stop and consider well before taking the step they contemplated The country he believed stood on the threshold of sec tional and geographical division with Its attendant miseries "May God save us from crossing that said Mr Russell and with the applause that fol lowed were mingled several fervent amens When he came to the sentence: "We must not turn our backs upon an administration which with courage and fidelity has up held the nation's credit" men and women stood on their chairs and yelled their ap proval of the words Gov Russell's remarks particularly brought out in strong relief the difficult which Is beginning to loom up before the silver what to do with the tariff Nearly all the bolting republican delegates at St Louis declared that their states were solid for free silver and protection Gov Russell seized upon this point and asserted that if republican protection was right in principle then silver legislation was equal ly so but if protection was wrong in prin cipal unjust and oppressive in practice as the democratic party had ever declared and still declared then silver legislation was equally so and ought to receive equally emphatic condemnation This point was ob viously directed against the arguments ad vanced in favor of the selection of Senator Teller as the free silver standard bearer he being also an earnest advocate of pro tection and as such its force was appre ciated The will undoubtedly be to augment the perplexities which the man agers are finding in dealing with the tariff plank of the platform Senator Gray of Delaware followed Mr RusselL He read partly from manuscript a strong forceful arraignment of the free silver fallacy pointing out that its evils would redound at once upon the toiler and the wage earner "When a man works a week or a month he is a creditor In the amount of bis said the senator "and when you pay him in a currency which is depreciated you cheat him" Loud and continued applause greeted this enunciation of principle The speaker dwelt more upon tbe results following on the free coinage of silver than upon har mony and pointed out that the new pol icy meant the ruin of the democratic party After Senator Gray came John el lows of New York the most eloquent of the brilliant coterie which made the oc casion momentous The speaker was as one inspired after he had been talking ten minutes and be made one of the greatest efforts of his life His appeal to demo crats not to cast off the good offices of the eas was piteous In its intensity and warmth The voice of Col ellows shook as in making a personal appeal to the delegates from the south he told how he served four years in the confederate army for his prin ciples and lived through the bitter period of reconstruction afterward how he was cast by fate into the marts of trade in New York and there found a brother's greet ing found that yesterday was dead and that to day and to morrow were open for all In burning words he spoke of what New York had done for the south and there was not a whisper in the vast audi ence as he told of the relief sent to Chicago by New York after the great fire "Curse New said tbe speaker "vilify it traduce it condemn it But in the hour of calamity you will turn sorrow fully from the false friends who have led you to ruin to that New Yoi which now you contemptuously The silence became intense as the speak er paused a moment and then continued "Do not reject us do not cast us off We have been brothers for years It will wrench our heart strings if the tie is sev ered Do not turn us out of your coun it is not democracy it will not be rec ognized as democracy Although you may steal our banner so help me God you can not steal our At this declaration a wild shout burst from every part of the house the audience arose and cheered wlldly'wavlng flags and handkerchiefs or ahnost a minute the uproar continued while Col ellows stood with outstretched hand and when quiet was restored finished his address In a magnificent burst of oratory which again set the people frantic DAVID 1 seeking no private or sectional advantage bat only the national good so that our united and prosperous land may continue to be in all that Is truest and best an

"As this majority of democrats is not sectional neither la It for any privilege of class or for class legislation The active Business men of this country its manufac turers its merchants its farmers its sons of toil In counting room factory field and mine know that a contraction of the currency sweeps away with the silent and relentless force of gravitation the annual profits of tbeir and they know too that the gold standard means contrac tion and the organization of disaster The Only Hope "What hope is there for the country? What hope for democracy unless the views' of the majority here be adopted? The republican party has renounced the creed of its platforms and of our statutes It has presented to the country the Issue of higher taxes more bonds and less money and has proclaimed for the British gold standard We can only expect should they succeed new spasms of panic and a long protracted period of depression Do not ask us then to join them on any of these propositions Effect of Adopting Gdld Standard "If we should go upon the gold standard It is evident that wc must change the exist ing bimetallic standard of payment of all public debts taxes and appropriations save those specifically payable in gold only And as we nave 820 u0o 000000 of public and pri vate debt it would take more than three times all the gold in the country to pay one year's interest in that medium We should be compelled hereafter to contract the cur rency by paying the $500000000 of green backs and Sherman notes in gold which would nearly exhaust the entire American stock in and out of the treasury and the same policy would require that the $344 000000 of silver certificates should be paid In gold as foreshadowed by the present di rector of the mint in his recommendation This means the Increase of the public debt by $500000000 of Interest bearing gold bonds with the prospect of $344000000 to follow The disastrous consequences of such a policy aro appalling to contemplate and the only alternative suggested fs the free coinage of silver as well as gold and the complete restoration of our American sys tem of bimetallism Uncle ism Can Stand Alone "Bring we pray you no more make shifts and straddles Vex the country with no more prophecies of smooth things to come from the British republican gold propaganda "We maintain that this great natlonwith a natural base (as Gladstone said) of the Sreatest continuous empire ever estab shed by man with far more territory and more productive energy than Great Britain rance and Germany combined without dependence upon Europe for any thing that it produces and with European dependence upon us for much that we pro duce Is fully capable of restoring its constitutional money system of gold and silver at equality with each other and as our fathers in 1776 declared our national In dependence so now has the party founded by Thomas Jefferson the author of that declaration met here to declare our finan cial Independence of all other nations and to

acquired fortune and they Irrveat forthwith in as costly a house and grounds as they can afford Some take extreme delight in parading the fruits of their new wealth before those of their neighbors whose opulence is of more mature age and who have there fore offered many a (fancied) snub A case in point is that of a young assistant living in a neighboring state who a short time ago was for

compar atively small from over distending themselves with water Most of the animals that suck when drinking areherbivorous and have large stomach or more than one with a paunch or re ceptacle for unchewed food and with them digestion is a slow process and there is little if any danger of over distension although such athingisno unknown with some domestic herbivor ous animals Digestion is a much more rapid process with the carnivora and it is important that it should not be de layed by the ingestion of large ties of cold water By lapping mouth and throat are thoroughly moist ened while the water is supplied to the stomach in small quantities properly warmed and mixed with saliva It may be fairly assumed that the carnivora are of more recent creation for the herbi vorous animals are

Impressiveness this commemoration of our beginning as a na tion When as appropriate to the occasion onr stupendous advancement Is recalled tha fact should not be overlooked that ouf progress has not been by chance but is the a wise observance of the mone tary laws that control national health and vigor and while we contemplate with pride the commanding place we occupy among the natons of the
