* 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.

dressing a Chicago audience was
the night before the election in
489G and they were just as well
and roared just as loudly as you
do. 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'

srn can be restored, only through
ndependent action. 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,

icqnire title to the Philippine
slands by conquest or by pur
base from an alien monarchy to

if the Philippines are and of right
ought to be free they should be
immediately assured of our
nation's intention to give them
independence as soon as a stable
government can be established.
Fifth, the Philippines having fallen
into our hands by accident of
war should be dealt with according
to American principles and
not only be given independence
but protected from outside inter
lerence while they work out their
own destiny."

Three Children Burned In Home
Near Anderson.
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.
