Meeting Last, Night. i r J Bryan, Tillman and Others Speak, < While the Crowd Makes Altgeld Show Himself. r i * Chicago, July 20.?Four thouss and people crowded into the a auditorium tonight despite the > sweltering heat to attend J he J political meeting given under t the auspices of the Chicago plati form Democrats. 1 . a it was irom first to last a silver meeting, an Altgeld meeting, an B 1 anti trust and anti expansion " meeting. All of the speakers, * save Governor Stone, of Missouri, ? who was ill and talked for less . than two minutes, declared in t favor of 1G to 1 and against the 1 war in the Philippine islands. \ The speech of Mr. Bryan 3. evoked great enthusiasm among , his hearers, especially when he > declared that the American gov ' eminent should pursue in Luzon J the same policy as we pursued I in Cuba. His audience was in sympathy with his suggestions regarding . the Philippines and punctuated his speech with cheers. The meeting was largely made up of the local adherents of the Chicago platform and personal followers of ex-Governor Altgeld. . The meeting, therefore, partook J somewhat of the nature of a perr sonal tribute to him. Many of the speakers alluded to him in laudatory terms and at AVArv int*nfiAn r\P KJo *1? -.-v .uvuvtvu Ul UIO UUII1C I lit; * audience shouted approval. ^ Mr. Altgeld did not occupy a > seat upon the platform, but \ throughout the meeting remained ' in the rear part of an upper box j and only made his appearance at r the front of the box when the > demand of the audience to hear I from him became too loud for Chairman Clarence S. Darrow to r subdue. J About one half of the members : of the national committee occu pied seats on the platform, the balance of them failiang to put in an appearance. Clarence S. Darrow, who presided, made a short speech defining the objects of the meeting t and then introduced John P. Tar; vin of Kentucky. ) The next speaker, who was neatly introduced, was James 1'. Brown of New York. Senator Till man ot South Carolina came next and was grieted ' with great applause.

Hut what did you do next day? You surrendered to the dictates of the men who had you employed, if any of you are humble and obscure enough to be em ployes. You went to the polls * and voted for your own slavery." Senator Tillman talked at some 1 length, concluding as follows : "We will fight this battle in ' 1900 and 1901 and in 1908 and in 1 the future?simply because we * are now industrial slaves living * here year in and year out with t nothing more than a bare cornpe |f tence, nothing more than a hare living, and we have sworn bv the (| Almighty God that we will fight along that line until the men of . the west are aroused to their in terests and keep the gold bugs of the wes and of the east ofF their backs. We cannot atTord to give up the Chicago platform. If it was right in 1890 it is right in I 1899. It will be right n?-xt year r and right is right and right means t might, in the language of Abra r ham Lincoln." t Alexander Troup, the national , committeeman from Connecticut, . was humorously brought forward by Chairman Darrow and his ad dress was greeted with great cheering. George Fred Williams, of Alas- ^ sachusetts, and Congressman Lentz, of Ohio, spoke, and then ? General Finley was introduced. ) He spoke chiefly on McKinley's 1 c :_i j -i - - uiihucihi recuru, cnarging mat no c bad paid private debts with pub- I lie offices. a Mr, Bryan was then introduced j and was given an enthusiastic ? welcome. He spoke in part as , follows: In speaking in Chicago | I am embarrassed by the fact that f the advocates of the Chicago p.at- s form are divided into camps. It ^ is not my business to establish a j secret service in order to ascer- r tain what Demociats are most de- 1 voted to the principles set forth 1 in tltn Inst nartu VII /M?!_ 1 capo platform Democrats look alike to me, and instead of trying j to drive any professed believer 1 in that platform out of the party, 1 my aim is to so impress upon all h Democrats the importance of tlie ' triumph ot Democratic principles I that all local differences will beji lost sight of in the lot.ermination ': to restore the government to the ' foundations laid by the fathers. J "In the brief lime that 1 shall I speak to you 1 desire to condenseN what I have to say upon 1 linen subjects into a few brmf proposi-'' tions. First, President .McKinle.v,j' bv sending a commission to . ; 11 I urope to secure inter-national . bimetallism confessed ibe gold i standard to ho illicit islaclory. < Second, the failure of the coni-P mission to secure international |P bimetallism proves that bimetall- : I s a "deceptive r\. 11*# B is fc I diseast?thouT E?

Third, the jold standard is maintained to lap, not because the American )cople desire it, because a few English financiers, bv controlling he policy of England, control hrough the Republican party the inancial policy of the United >tates. Fourth, the increased proluction ot gold in the Klondike md the importation of gold from Europe have increased the vol i me of money and improved imes. It is evident that more noney makes better times, and imes could be still further imjroved and the improvement nade permanent by the restoraion of bimetallism, which would nake silver as well as gold avail ible for coinage. Fifth, is it was nore difficult to maintain the 3arity between gold and silver vhen the supply of silver was in :reasing, it must now be easier to naintain the party since the supply of gold is increasing. "On the trust question I suggest the following propositions for rour considerations: First, the rust is a menace to the welfare if the people of the United States, >ecause it creates a monopoly tnd gives to the few in control of he monopoly mo6t unlimited >ower over the lives and happiless of consumers, employes and producers of raw material. Sec>nd, the president appoints the ittorney general and can, if he lesires, secure an attorney general who will enlorce the antirust laws. Third, the attorney reneral can recommend sufficient aws if present laws are insufli dent. Fourth, the attorney gen?ral can recommend an amendnent to the constitution if the ^resent constitution makes it iminssible to extinguish the trusts, filth, the Republican party is lOU'prlpsa trt pvtiixrnioli ?lva ?> ' ? 0 long as the trusts furnish the noney to continue the Itepublitan party in power. 4,Iu the Philippine question tertain fundamental principles ire involved. First, there are nit two sources of government, oiee and consent, monarchies ?eing founded upon lorce, remblics upon consent. Second, lie Declaration of Independence issoris that all governments lerive their.just powers from the 'onsent of the governed. Third, 1 tlie declaration ol independence j s sound, we cannot rightfully icqnire title to the Philippine slands by conquest or by pur base from an alien monarchy to vhnse rebellious subjects wo our iolves furnished arms.

Anderson, July 22.?Three negro children were burned to death four miles north of Anderson this afternoon on the farm of Benjamin Smith, colored. The wife of Henry Thompson, a well known well digger, left the children alone at home while she went on a visit to a neighbor's house nearby. It is supposed in her absence the house was accidentally set on fire by the children. When the fire was discoveredthe house was a mass of flames. Two of the bodies were brought out, burned to a crisp. The third child, though taken out alive, died a few minutes after being rescued.?The State.
