J. McCormick anil R. L. Halle, the two last named being well known locally. Daflnlto action will probably bo taken by the council of officers at the next posed of.

Because tho Democratic platform has declared for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, the supporters of tho platform are to bo classed not alono with the anarchists and revolutionists, but with repu dlatlonlsts. There is not time to nLght for a discussion of the money question, but I may be allowed opportunity to call attention to the Tact that the Democratic policy which Is opposed with such bitterness, such vituperation and such misrepresentation, Is a policy that was expounded fifty years ago by that great Mlsourl Democrat, Thomas H. Benton, in this language: 'Every clause In the constitution which bears upon the subject of money every early statue of congress which Interprets the meaning of these clauses and every historic recollection which refers to them, go hand hand in giving to the constitution the moaning that federal currency should consist of gr.ld and silver; that the power granted to congress to coin money Is an au THE EAGLE in published evcrjr afternoon on the worklne days ot the oek lana on SUNDAY MORNINGS.

Let us help stamp out this heresy. Our duty is plain, and we as patriotic men, Tathers and citizens owe to our country that greater duty than wo owe to our party." It had previously been arranged that no speaker should take more than ten minutes of tho club's time In presenting his argument. Mr. C.

O'Connor Hennessy made the Important speech of the evening In favor of Bryan and Sewall. He spoke substantially as follows: Mr. Hennessy's Free Silver Argument. "It Is on record that when tho official representatives of the Democratic party in this vicinity, the so called regular organization, Became sponsor for men and measures, that to this club seemed a ricsertlon of good politics and good cltieznshlp, this club refused to fol olw, but, on the contrary, deomed It both patriotic and Democratic to support for the time being the men and measures of an opposlto political party. But that was In local poll tics, and It may be pointed out that the club has never failed to indorse and effectively support the candidates and platforms of the party in the nation.

"But on this occasion, and In that larger field, I see no reason why there should not bo in the action of this club an exercise of the same intelligence, the same patriotism, and the same conscience and indepenSence that in the past has put the principle of right above the circumstance of regularity, in the Judgment of what Is best for people is well as party. The man who rever changes his politics, who is always regular, who blindly follows a party name, no matter whither it leads, is a fanatic or a fool. He worhips a fetich. He Is unfit to have a vote. Th? true party man and best citizen is he who supports a party as long as the party repretents those principles and policies in government which he believes in, and who ceases to support a party when It ceases to represent the faith that is in him.

This being my pollticil creed ancTh creed which has secured practical indorsement by the action of this club on many public occasions, I am glad to recog Thero Is no mystery about It is simply a clear, pin honest soap for lana drv Liia household nse. made by the approved processes, nnd being: the best, it has the larcost aale In the world.

Bouclcault's up to date "After Dark" attracted an immense house last night. All tie sensational attributes were vociferously applauded, ihe actors being called before the curtain a number of times. When the most enthusiastic of the hearers discovered that Eliza and Old Tom were really wet after the rescue scene and no fake about It the thermometer rose several degrees. The railroad train episode was received somewhat sarcastically, the skeleton of a pasteboard motor with a "sisser" for a headlight being almost too much even for an Indulgent audience; the London bridge scene was effective though. E.

R. Maw son as Old Tom, Robert Lowe as Sir George, G. C. Robinson as Captain Chumley and Russell Bassett as the blackleg. W.

T. Doyle as the escaped convict and Mary Rene as Eliza did most of the work and did it well. Belle Bucklln as the good hearted girl didn't show it; a little more sympathy and a little less edge would have improved the part. Sadie Fox and R. F.

Golden entertained for half an hour in the variety hall scene, B. Ward having a cold. Next week, "Oriental America." The uayety. There was a large attendance at the Gayety theater, Broadway and Throop avenue, both last evening and yesterdaj afternoon at the productions of tbetimehonored "Black Crook," that holds its place on the from a curious mingling of moral forces and displays of female loveliness. It was by the Tompkins company and has been seen before in Brooklyn.

Though the play itself has been liberally and wisely cut, being now a theme old enottgh to be a classic, the time was filled in by spe cliaties, to the delight of the galleries. It was a performance of even excellence aud although encores were frequently demanded and they were given as often as possible, the length of the play precluded many interruptions of the kind. Lillian Harper as Car line and John W. World in specialties, as Greppo, were favorites of the audience in the dancing and singing. Other who should be mentioned were Miles.

Micari, Kraskee and Assoiuta and the sisters Young in ballet. There was one substitution on the bill, that of Mardo, in Juggling, in place of the gaiety girl by Miss Harper and coryphees. Next week AV. S. Cleveland's and J.

Hyde The "beautiful and melodious; Helens Mora, as the programme describes her, is the, principal attraction this week at Hyde Behman's and her song prove as popular as ever. In addition to a really powerful alto voice, Miss Mora possesses a handscme face and form and gives her selection with considerable dramatic effect. This adds greatly to their charm, as most cf her songs deal with murder, love and sudden or pitiful death, Ke7 latest song, given in a Jockey's costume, Is one of her own composition and is called "A Little Boy in Green." lie dies under the horses' hofs.

while his mother, from the grand stand, witnesses his end. At yesterday'a performance Miss Mcra had to give an encore and after the curtain was down she was called out by an enthusiastic audience. The vaudeville numbers of the programme are well taken care of by a number of favorites of the variety stage, among whom Harris and Walters in a comedy sketch live up to their reputation as fun makers. The Four Cohans, in House." give an excellent representation of automatic dancing dolls, and Thome and Carlton In sketch are also pleasing, some ot the witticisms being new and clever. Of the Forbes and Qulnn, a dancing and team, are also above the average Billy Carter, one of the old timers, was also well received: the Newsboys' quintette, in soles and part songs, and the performance closed with a comedy skit, entitled "Sunday in a Bowery Barber Shcp," in which Jenny Wild, the author, takes the principal part.

The Star. A bevy of buxom girls, who dance well and sing with considerable volume, are the features of this week's smoking concerts. There are a number of clever sketches, perhaps tho most attractive of which is the act of Charles Johnson and Dora Dean, a colored couple. Their work on the stage is refreshing and novel, both being pleasant to look at and exceedingly entertaining throughout. Their dances are new and their songs and cake walk humorous.

Mile. Meza's contortions, while out of the usual line, are rather gruesome. Vaudeville sketches arc given by Howard and Darl. Foster and Ix wis. Belinore and Jerome, Snyder and Buckley.

Mile. Delmore does the serpentine dance, while the entire company appears in two burlescpies, "The Cadet's Reception" and "A Night With Pity Us." Next week, Robie's Bohemian burlesquers. Brooltlvn Music Hall. The opening of the regular play houses In the city affected the attendance at the Brooklyn music hall slightly last night. Another change was made in the attraction, comio opera giving way to vaudeville.

Several good specialties were presented. Ida Russell taking the lead with her songs, the most popular of which is "The Tough Girl." The Sisters Leigh in dances; Mamie Fulton, songs; the Gardells, acrobats; St. George and Gibbons, Belman and Green, Fen ton brothers and Byron and Boyd added to the entertainment. Thomas Stillwell's quick changes were cleverly done. Next week, Ai Wilson, Ella Wesner and others.

The Empire. At the Empire theater last night the Boston Atheneum Star Specialty company captured completely the favor of an eastern district audience by its catchy songs and nimble dance3. There were ten numbers on the evening's programme, embracing nearly every form of variety entertainment. The clever performance of Falke and Semon, vocalists and comedians, was heartily appreciated and applauded. During the course of the evening nearly every occupant of the stage indulged in dancing of some description, but the most striking novelties were the dances of Grovini and Murray, women acrobats, and Sam and Hettie Morton, character artists.

Other actons who more or less amused the audience were William F. Kaye and Ada Henry, comedy sketch duo; Eddie the acrobatic tramp; Daniel and Will Collins, character singers; Doph and Susie Leviuo, In their entertainment, entitled "The Rival Morton and Mack, in comedy creations, and Ben R. Harney, the illustrator of "Rag Time" music on the piano.

After a Prolonged Discussion Bryan and His Platform Are Repudiated by a Vote of 17 to 16 Gold Resolution Passes. Tho Young Men's Democratic club camo out last night unmistakably for gold. It took tho members of that Interesting organization threo and a half hours to do eo, aad then after many speeches and a number of exciting incidents the club at midnight declined to indorse the Chicago platform with Bryan and Sewall by a vote of 17 to 1C and, in splto of shouts for adjournment, came out for gold by a veto of 17 to 14. The meeting was known among tho members of tho club as a to.t of strength, because tho call ran as follows: Whereas, The Iomor rntlo party of the United States in convention assembled did by a majority voto nominute the William J. Bryan for President and tha Hon.

Arthur Sewall for vice presldOTit; therefore be it Resolved, That the Yoimfr Men's Democratic club of Brooklyn indorse the nomination of Bryan and Sva)ll, and pled ires itself to their Bupijrt; and be it further RosolTed, That the resolution passed heretofore by this club of a (fold standard be reconsidered. Notice was also given cf intention to oiXer the following: Resolved. That the candidates nominated and platform adopted by the Democratic party at In dianaiwlls be Indorsed and the support of the Young Men's Democratic club of the City of Brooklyn is pledged thereto. The first had been offered by George F. Shaugbnesuy, who a recent deserter from the reform Democratic ranks, and the second by Fred S.

Hoffmann, ono of tho most fluent speakers lu the club. The chief speeches of the evening were made by C. O'Connor Hennessy for the Chicago platform and free silver on the one side, and by Frederick D. Johannsen for sound money on the other. There was considerable preliminary skirmishing, in the course of which the ruling of the chairman, W.

P. Ferguson, was frequently called in question. There were several appeals from his decisions before the club settled down to the business In hand, bin about 10 o'clock the air was cleared and It was decided that the resolution iq favor of gold should be laid upon the table till the others were disposed of. This arrangement was not arrived at without considerable difficulty, chiefly with Mr. Hennessy, who pronounced the proceedings undemocratic, and with Mr.

Hoffmann, who Jocularly Insisted upon a reconsideration of everything. "When the serious business of the club was reached F. D. Johannsen caught Mr. Ferguson's eye, the tumult subsided and Mr.

Johannsen spoke as follows: Mr. Joliannsen's Speech. "It Is because I fell that I owe a higher duty to my country and my fellow countrymen than to my party, that I rise to night to oppose the indorsement of the Chicago nominees. "I sincerely believe that the free coin ago of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 will be detrimental to the Interests of our country, and place us in a condition of financial chaos, and what greater calamity than general disturbance of the business Interests of a country can we possibly forsee. Were we assured of a subsecjti.ent speedy adjustment and betterment of affairs we might be induced to let such disturbance take place, but its possibility is too remote for serious consideration.

"It is perhaps true that the "Western and Southern sections cf our country have more cause for complaint against the money power of the East than any other section, and that eiborbitant interests have been charged by and paid to the investors in their securities, and that they have, like a mad bull, been goaded into a state of desparation. "While in this state they have had their passions and prejudices appealed to in the of owners of silver mines, under the guise that the substitution of th.e financial system they propose will assist them in paying off much of their indebtedness. "We concede them Just cause for complaint, but is it fair, Is It right that 70,000,000 ot people should be detrimentally affected, and pay the penalty for the sins of a few money 6harks? "The silver product of the United States is entitled to recognition as much as any other branch of Industry, and it has been recognized, and fairly so, as witness the Sherman law, but surely further recognition should not be granted at the expetsse of every other branch of industry, and If legislation cannot be enacted that will assist that particular branch without detriment to other and more important branches, then the silver mine owner must accept the ineTitable and bravely bear the burden imposed upon him. Far better that the government purchase outright the interest of the sliver mine owners and close down the mines than permit them to profit by Its production at the expense of a wholo nation. It Is not the amount of money lu circulation that benefits a country's trade, it is the extent of the circulation.

Ten dollars in trade channels serves better purposes than 100 shillings in bank vaults and old stockings. The sllverite attributes exclusively the fall in the price of silver and other articles to the increase in the price of gold. Let us see if he is correct. "Is it not a fact that other anrl less valuable have been and to day are being used, aud increasing in use, and prctlcaliy in many instances supplanting the silver, except where a thiu coating is applied. This applies to both art and manufacturing, and it is equally true that as silver has decreased in use for manufacturing and art purposes, gold has correspondingly increased.

Now, as to the decrease in prices. Three conditions are the prime factors In the decrease or prices: Over production, use of labor saving machinery, keen competition. The farmer in this country has in the rev years last past and to day is producing a greater quantity of farm products than the increased demand warrants, and with the assistance of labor saving machinery he produces at much less cost a greater quantity than he formerly produced. He Is forced to compete in the markets of the world with new competitors, agricultural pursuits having Increased enormously in other countries through the introduction cf carrying facilities. These conditions, I content, are tho prime movers in tho reducticn of prices, and they are equajly applicable to other Industries.

Electricity has to a great extent supplanted horse power. Electric cars eat no oats, and silver at to 1 cant make them. The silverites truly show us that under our present financial system there are unearned increments received from the hoarding of gold. I offer no excuses for that system; I ask you to give us a better one, and one that is not attended by tho percentage of risks attached to the independent free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The Democratic party has uniformly stood as an opponent of class legislation.

If what the Chicago platform proposes is not class legislation what will you call it? For whosa benefit, except the silver mine owners and the debtor class can this proposed legislation be? Certainly not for the working man who tolls at daily labor, nor for the man possessed of a fixed income, nor for the wholesale merchant whose whole business is conducted on a sixty to ninety days' credit basis. It Is proposed to raise the price of commodities, but is an assurance ot a proportionate increase in wages given? Is it not an historical fact that wagej have never Increased proportionately at any time with tho rise in the price of commodities? And still these silver people claim to be the working man's saviour. Friendship for that poor tailor Is expressed by all political parties prior to election. After election they are like the man's dog that died, they are friendly no more. "I contend, Mr.

Chairman, that the failure of tho maintenance of free coiuage of silver at 1G to 1 would cause a greater decrease in its price and would entail greater calamities than can possibly be wrought by tho gold standard. This club should como out clearly and definitely In opposition to tho Chicago nominees. We should be guided by the interests of our country, our homes aud our families. All our efforts should be directed toward the restoration of confidence In our finances. Let none be lukewarm, nor accept no argument tending to show that a congress opposed to tho views of the executive could easily prevent the enactment of a free coinage law.

Such will not restore confidence to the timid business man, but, on the contrary, will permit his specu FREGOLl'S VARIED BILL AT THE COLUMBIA. "Wizard of the Nile," "War of Wealth," "After Dark," "Black Crook" and Many Variety Shows Are in Town This Week. Pregoli, who came to the Columbia theater last night, is the most versatile performer who has been seen on the American stage for many a year. In the announcements stress is laid upon Ms remarkable skill, as what Is knerwn technically to tho stage, as a "lightning change artist," but be Is many things beside that; ventriloquist, magician, serpentine dancer, song and dance man, orchestral conductor, and last and chiefly an actor In the strictest Bense of that word, a man who can sink his own personality In that of the character he Is assuming. It may be Imagined that with all these qualifications his entertainment did not grow monotonous, although he gave th.e whole show himself.

That Is he gave tho entire performance from 9 o'clock on, and that was the portion of It which did not voary the audience. Before that hour a pair of "society calTed Bor relli and Press Eldridge, appeared to the obvious delight of the gallery, which was large, and with the bored tolerance of the down stairs part of the audience, which was smaller than it will be when the remarkable nature of Pregoii's own performance becomes more widely known. By reaching the Columbia at 9 o'clock people who have no taste for variety shows can escape those performers and witness an entertainment whose cleverness they have not seen equaled 'm? K'eseui generation. For his introduction Fregoli, who is a slight and boyish locking man, sings "An Impossible 1 Duet." In his own person he represents a young woman of Quakerish aspect, who sings in a good Imitation of the female voice When ner uacic is turned the head and face of a young man Is disclosed. He sings in a vigorous baritone.

The man's mouth does not move when he sings, however, and one feels a disappointment which speedily vanishes as more and more wonderful personations follow. The first of these Is a scene between a music master and his pupil. Fregoli goes on as the old professor, steps behind the simulation of an upright piano to play an accompaniment and while the old man's head and shoulders are visible strolls upon the stage as the young woman pupil in evening dress. The duet follows and has clever effects or ventriloquism. Xext, comes a one act tragedy Involving husband, wife, lover and old servant, In which the characters chase each other across the stage with incredible swiftness.

As the wife disappears through one door the husband enters at another so quicklv that it hardly seems as if the actor had hart tim to run from one to the other, let alone changing I wigs and costumes. The lover, being pur sued, dives under a table and the enraged i LlUtio 1.1 win iub umer siae ot tne stage almost instantly. The audience last i night cheered this feat with their voices and 1 not merely with their hands and it deserved the reception. But a must higher order of i talent than the cleverness of the trick was i I tD0 skl" wltu fregoli embodied these various characters. He speak only Italian so that his work was practicallv pantomime, yet the emotions of each character were as clearly shown as though each had been in the hands of a separate and skil ,1 aClr" The and vanity of the wire, the passion and subsequent fright of thc lover.

the Jealousy of the hueband. were all as much in evidence as were the costumes that distinguished them. The last Item on tho mil was "Eldorado." a three act play dealing with tho fortunes of the Eldorado music nail whose audiences are small and whose performers have struck for their salaries. The proprietor, the manager, and half a dozen specialty performers are Involved In the tangle and Fregoli dives out of 'one door In one character only to reappear in another a second later In a bewildering way. Finally he announces that his company has deserted and be must give the whole show a.orre.

He does it and does It well, though on the blU Julian. German and ii.ng.ish women singers; a fake magician who performs remarkable feats only to let the audience see the wires work at the end of the trick; a musical clown who plavs bells and other alleged musical instruments' and an Impersonator, who makes up his characters In the sight of the audience. All the.se are stock figures in the variety houses but none ot the originals does his work better than this clever mimic. He gives an Imitation of Loie Fuller's serpentine dance almost as brilliant asthe original and an imitation of Herrmann, which is rather better than the man it copies! Then the performer jumps down into tie orchestra and leads the band in imitation of half a dozen European conductors, including Verdi and Wagner, and of Scusa and Seidl. with whom American audiences are familiar.

He caught the peculiar swing of Sousa to perfection and gave a fairly good copy cf hLs face, but he made the mistake of keeping the face too constantly turned to the audience. Sousa's back is the most familiar and most characteristic thing about him to people who have been much to Manhattan beach, and if that could be reproduced the resemblance would be perfect. The Seldi manner was somewhat exaggerated for effect, but the Imitation was good. Fregoli remain during the week, but the Wednesday matinee will be emitted as he is not able to bear the strain of two performances except on Saturday, with Sunday's re.3t just ahead. To those who saw Iran 1 a.st night the wonder was that he cold got through ono.

Next week Maggie Cllne. who has the unique distinction of being a prime favorite both Hyde and Behman's and In N'owport drawing roon js. will appear in a play called "On Broadway." Grand Opera House. A full house greeted the presentation cf "The War of Wealth" at ihe Grand Opera house last night, and the audience was in hearty accord with the actors frcm the moment the curtain went up in the first act. This play is a familiar one to Brooklyn theater goers and its very famiilarty Is proof of Its popularity.

The cast was an excellent one, and consistent all the way through. Thomas A. Wise, as the impecunious Southern major, affor.ded the audience the most entertainment, perh.tps, and his negro servant Impersonated by Bsn Cotton, was also very good. Gecrge W. Deyo played the leading man's part that of Wai'field.

a former Montana ranchman aud at presojrt the head of a banking firm on Wall street. His rascally partner a played by Frank Lo.see, incurred the hearty hatred of the gallery gods manifested at. various times by vigorous hisses aud a sincere injunction to "kill him" from one much wrought up spectator during the scene where "War field has the villain by tho throat. The play Is full of interesting climaxes well worked up, and the stirring scenes succeed one another with startling rapidity in the third act. with the valorous major as a central figure, the mirth that ho inspires being a delightful relief from the strain of excitement caused by the progress of the play and the constant succession of dramatic situations.

The play will probably be greeted with full houses all the week. Next week Murray and Mack In "Finnigan's Courtship." The Montank. Frank Daniels cams back to Brooklyn last night with "The Wizard of the Nile," and he was welcomed as an old friend. The opera is just as amusing as whom it was here lost spring, and it will probably entertain Just as many people. Mr.

Daniels has brought a new Cleopatra with him this time in the person of Jlss Caroline Bolene. She evidently had friends in the audience, for she received floral compliments from them. She has a well trained volceof light quality that she uses with Intelligence. Daniels has a voice, too, but the less said about it the betterf. With all his efforts hedld not succeed in making "Star Light" or "Acgellce" unmelodloits.

Leonard AValker and Louis Casavant have voices about which one can talk with safety. These men can sing, and the chorus can too. The song with which the last act opens has dash and life in it, and the singers alWwed tho3e qualities to stay therc There are shapely men in tights and shapely girls as well among tho singers. The costuming lis picturesque and bUTlesque. Ptolemy looks most of the time like a Connecticut farmer in a dude's bath gown, while Simcona wore modern thority to stamp metallic money; that author Ity granted to congress to regulate the value of coin Is authority to regulate the value of metallic money, and that the prohibition upon the states making anything but gold and sil ver a legal tender, Is a moral prohibition, founded In virtue and honesty, and just as binding upon the federal government as up cn the state "This comprehensive exposition of the con stltutlonal right of sliver to free coinage with gold as legal tender money, ha had the support of the ablest students and ablest statesmen of our country, Including such men as Daniel Webster, James G.

Blaine and the present senator of the United States Ohio, Mr. Sherman. It Is opposed to day by I objections that are no more valid and no more Blncere than the objections to the other parts of the platform upon which the charges cf anarchy and revolution are based, and i which I think I have fairly disposed of. The essence of the objection to free coinage Is that i If the bullion value of the metal out of which a sliver dollar Is coined Is but 50 cents today, It will be but cents under free coinage and that the purchasing power of the dollar wfll not be the power given to it by the gov i eminent stamp, but a nower measured bv Its exchange value as bullion. Only recklessness I and dishonesty could make this statement, i and only ignorance could believe It, and It Is i my hope that the well meaning persons who i have been frightened and deluded by the promise of a "53 cent dollar" will Indulge In sufficient reasoning and reflection before No I veinber to convince them that this Is a shibboleth as insincere and dishonest a bugboo he harmless and as unsubstantial as has ever found a place In an American political campaign.

Any dollar that the government makes a legal tender dollar in a dollar that will pay one hundred cents worth ot debt, and to those in debt wnieh includes a vast majority oi all the people of the country the problem Is to make more easj the getting of dollars that wlii rwscnarge debt than the getting of any 1 partloul ar Itlnd of debt paying dollar. The proposition that the disparity between the commercial value of silver and gold at the proposed raislo will be maintained under free coinage, and that the increase of prices of commodities will be proportionate to this disparity, Is a proposition that, after examination, shuld receive the support of only babes or fools, or knaves. The prices of drygoods, for example, in a store oa Fulton street, are not fixed by the whim of fiat of the store keeper, but by the demands of purchasers, subject always to the competition of rivals In business. Assuming, for instance, that you owe under our present money standard $100 to a Fulton street store keeper, who In return owes $100 to some one else. A hundred silver legal tender dollars, or paper evidence thereof, will.

free coinage, satisfy your debt, and the store keeper will not complain of repudiation when he finds that the debt paying power of the money in his hands is equal to the same power in your hands. But If It Is said, to Justify our gold standard friend's, that the store keeper will double his prices tho day after election, let some one eVte tell us how then he is to continue In business. If his competitors are satisfied that the legal tender debt paying dollar Is the dollar that gees, and that they can only hold the traSo of the people by exchanging the largest amount of goods fr the smallest number of dollars that the purchaser is willing to pay." Mr. Hennessy was twice given an extension of time in order to complete the hearing of hi? speech. Ernei Kellar next took a warm hand In the debute, speaking as follows: Mr.

Kellar Denounces the Chicago Platform. "I am opposed to this resolution as I am absolutely opposed to the declarations of policy as set forth In the Chicago platform. They are not Democratic principles. The fundamental doctrlnets of tho Democratic party have been abandoned, and in their place we find the delusions and snares of populism and socialism. The candidate who stands on that plaftform Is not a Democrat, and he has said It himself.

He Is also the candidate of the Populists, and has he not himself openly proclaimed that if the convention had declared for a gold standard he would have bolted? Why, then, should we who are against the free coinage of silver not boltT "The Chicago platform is against nature and against law. It Is against nature In two cf its utterances: First, In pretending that it is possible to make two unequal commodities equal each other by a fhi of government, by stating that sixteen ouuees of silver shall be and remain equal to one ounce of gold, when 'the true value Is nearer 32 to 1. Second, by stating that we can do what we declare by law without the help of any other nation. Just as if we were not dependent on other nations to buy our surplus of production, and buy from them what we cannot produce ourselves. We cannot buy and sell only from and to ourselves, in a currency suitable to ourselves, and if we are obliged to buy from other nations we must pay thtsn in their currency.

"I do not suppose that a merchant here selling goods to Mexico would accept payment in Mexican dollars, although Intrinsically worth more than our silver dollar, when he could only realize 52 cents for them here. He will demand exchange on New York. The platform Is against law and order, in that It threatens In no uncertain language, the packing of the highest tribunal In our republic, If not in the world. To suggest the Idea of deliberately adding to the Dumber of Use judges of the supreme court, with an avowed and specific purpose is nothing short cf revolution. The supreme court of the United States is the bulwark of tho constitution, the safeguard of our institutions and the protector of our common rights.

Let no attack on go unrebuked. Patriotism is above party." Charles Abbott spoke In favor of souml money and then Mr. Jordan vigorously denounced the Indianapolis convention and all that It had accomplished, incidentally observing that Colonel Fellows had gone there to represent honesty. Colonel Breckinridge morality, while Alaska had two delegates, who, ho supposed, were George Fester Pea body and Charles J. Edwards.

After further talk It was moved that the meeting proceed to ballot. Under the constitution of the ciub it required members In good standing to be present, carrying with them a two third majority. There was an immediate scurry to the treasurer by a number of the members, who bad not paid up. It seemed doubtful at first whether necessary two thirds were In the room, bu' just as the treasurer triumphantly exclaimed to the Eagle reporter that thirty one weiv all right, two mcro delinquents stepped up and paid their way. The result, as has been intlmate was 17 to 1G against the resolution.

The club thus refused to Indorse Bryan and the Chicago platform, and then by way of rubbing It in spoke of attempts to get an adjournment, accepted the sound money resolution by 17 to 14. BARK THEMIS GREW RELEASED. Tho Norwegian bark Themis, from Iro gresso, which was held at quarantine over night, because of the illness of the carrtnin and somo of the crew, was relcnBod this morning.

The Twenty third Would Like Sousa for a Leader. Brigade and Twenty third regiment were the only military headquarters open last nlgflit. There was nothing dono at the first and little at the other. For some tlmo Et has boea rumored that Bandmaster A. I).

Foha ivus to leave the Twenty third. Last night the music committee, of which Major 1). K. Case Is cOiSjliTnan, cad a long scfjs.on. On Its adjournment tho members said they would' prefer not to talk until they had reported to tho council of officers.

I Is unders ooU, how ever, that Mr. Fobs' place 'will soon bo vacant. Tho comtnlttoe would like to got Sousa, but whether ho would accept is a matter of doubt. Thero are eiigbiteen candidates for tho position at bandmaster, the most prominent of whom axo Schneider, who led tha raarluc baud nize to night that the old spirit of independence is still with us, and that there are men here who, in the exercise of their best judgment, are disposed to think that events have occurred which Justify them In turning their backs upon the national candidate, and the national platform of their party. Their Justification must be that the party is no longer Democratic, that the essential principles and policies of the party have been changed, and that a defeat of Mr.

Bryan, and all that he represents, and a victory for Mr. McKlnley and all that "he represents are the things that this Young Men's Democratic club should favor. These are propositions more serious than ever before confronted this club and when we vote to night, 1 hope it will be only after we have heard the case fully and plainly stated. "Far myself, after mature reflection, careful i study and a most conscientious regard for the responsibility that rests upon everyone at this election, I have decided that I will vote for William J. Bryan (applause) for President of the United States, and my vote will be cast not only with a sense of patriotic duty, but with an enthusiasm and pleasure such as I have never before experienced in exercising my right to vote.

I say this not only because I believe that the Democratic party that is supporting Bryan Is a braver and more genuine Democracy than we "have ever had in this country since Jefferson's day, but I baVieve the indorsement by the people and the enactment into government of the Chicago platform in its entirety would be a great material blessing for the vast majority of the people of this country. It Is true to day, as it has ever been true, that so callod Is the last refuge of a scoundrel, and that men who haver grown rich by pubic robbery and men Who have been made powerful by the perversion of law are satisfied that everything that is is right, and that those who appeal for a change are disturbers of the public peace. So were regarded the brave pioneers the anti slavery movement in this country, and it Is a matter of significant, if disgraceful, record, that evon ufter the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States Wendell Phillips was mobbed in the streets of Boston and George William Cirrtlss was denied the right of public spesch in Philadelphia. They were the anarchists and peace disturbers of thelr day. I am conscious, Mr.

Chairman, that tnos gentlemen wio here oppose the indorsement of tho candidacy of Mr. Bryan by this club Justify themselves not by an assertion of tne unfitness of Mr. Bryan for the presidency, intellectually considered, and I assume they regard him as morally equal, if not superior, to the Republican candidate. Their objection is to the platform upon which be has been nominated, wMca, we are told, is an un Democrat ic platform. To Judge the fairness of this criticism we must agree as too vrfcat Democracy means.

Before a man can sustain the charge tfrat this platform Is contrary to Democratic principle he must tell us what he understands by Democratic principle. If I were asked briefly to define Democracy I would say that Its great underlying principle Is 'Equality before the law; equal rignts for all: special privileges for This is the Democratic faith of Jefferson. That which will bear the test of tbis great basic principle Is Democracy. "We are told that the platform favors anarchy, because It denounced arbitrary interference by federal authorities in local affairs. 1 am not here to discuss whether or not the President of the United States did right or wrong In sending federal troops into the state of Illinois, to do police duty, against th protest of the mayor of Chicago and the governor of the state, but I asked you to base your judgment of this part of the platform upon the actual language of the document, and judge for yourself the amount of anarchy there is in it.

Here It is: 'We denounce arbitrary interference by federal authorities In local affairs, as a violation of the constitution of the United States, and a crime against free That is all. Now let me read another from platform: "The maintenance Inviolate of the rignts of the states and especially the ri ht of each state, to order andj control its own domestic Institutions, according to its own Judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and r.durance of our political fabric depends, and we denounce the lajv.iess lnv by armed ftrrce, of the soil of any or territory, no mattvr under what pretext, as anions the greatest at crimes. "This, you will admit. Is a stronger and more anarchistic declaration than that of the Chicago platform. "I am a believer in the income tax because I believe that so long as it remains the policy of our government, national, state and local, to tax men according to what they have rather than upon tho opportunities they enjoy, the income tax is more fair and more Just than any other tax that can be levied, because It places tlie expense of government upon the shoulders of those best able to bear the.

But if, as Democrats, we may differ upon the wisdom of an income tax law, no honest man who can read or hear the words of this platform, and who has intelligence enough to understand the plain Intent of English language, will say that there is here an attack upon the integrity of the supreme court. "Surely there are those wjio know the recent history of the United States well enough to remember that when, on another question of constitutional law, the supreme court, by a vote of 6 to 2, decided In effect that there was no constitutional power in the government ot this country' to prevent the extension of the institution of human slavery, that such a decision could not and did not stifle the conscience or abate the courage of the right thinking people of this country. That decision, like tho late income tax decision, was accepted as sanctified by the privileged classes If tho country, by those who. In 1.S00, as In 1S96, put the alleged rights of property above the rights oi humanity. And yet I cannot find It stated in the records that Abraham Lincoln was an anarchist in his day and generation, when he publicly denounced this decision with all the fervor of an eloquent tonguo and a great heart, and It is a of the records of the United States seuate that whilo tho decision in the Dred Scor.t case was aparently sustained by tne puouc seuuuieui ol i iie uay wnicn it was made.

It was afterward characterized in the recrds of our highest legislative body as 'the greatest crime in the Judicial annals of the republic' It seems to me a remarkable co that those planks In tho Chicago plalform of 1S96 which are UBed to Justify the charge of anarchy and revolution against the supporters of that platform are but mild duplicates of similar planks In the Chicago platform of 3S60, upon which that great democrat, Abraham Lincoln, was elected to the presidency. "I think 1 h.tve shown, Mr. Chairman, that tho cry of anarchy and revolution raised against Mr. Bryan's platform is unjustified by any construction that may fairly and justly be placed upon the words of the document Itself, and that there Is splendid precedent In the history of tho country for the declarations that are now the object of denunciation by the enemies of the Democracy and the ignorant and miifsruidod persons who oppose Mr. Bryan because they know not what to do.

"But there is still another epithet to be dis.
