| Show ADDRESS BY HAVJllNS TheSenator Speaks to Third Precinct Pre-cinct Democrats SCORES THE REFORMERS WHAT TEE CITIZENS MEAN BY A BUSnIESS AIITRATON Sarcastic Reference Made to Non Encastc Partisan Pretensions Silver a Question to Be Considered Speeches By Allen Sanford and W B Timmony The Attendance Large Three hundred Third ward Democrats crowded into Plymouth hal last night and listened to eloquence and logic from Senator J L Rawlins I was the largest meeting held in the Third since the opening of the campaign and the audience bespoke its appreciation of the speech In frequent and warm applause ap-plause Mr Rawlins address was a simple and effective exposition of the present political situation I was like the incessant in-cessant strokes upon an anvil and there was no escape from the logic of his conclusions Mr Rawlins attempted no florid flights in oratory but used as his weapons against nonpartisanship and the party of protection plain and incisive in-cisive logic Two other addr sses which formed n setting for the main effort were made by Allen T Sanford and J B Timmony Mr Timmony led the speechmaking after a formal Introduction by Moroni Gillespie who hahdlel l the gavel In l brief speech he delivered some grape shot into the camp of the nonpartisans non-partisans and adherents of the party of gold and wanted the Democrats to consult their best Interests and the prosperity of the city by voting only for Democratic nominees Mr Stanford who followed referred to the difference between nonpartisan I ism and New York and the new local movement In the east they were organized or-ganized to fight corporations and here the corporation leaders were the fos terers and leaders of the party In reference to the Tribune s claim that economy was the only issue he said there was another of almost equal importance that of the Issuance of franchises Against this the last people to go to for pi ottc lon were the fathers of nonpartisanism Miss Annie Buckley sang a solo and this selection was reinforced with a campaign song by the Sliver Glee club who for an encore rendered the melancholy mel-ancholy pathos of Goodwins Lament La-ment SENATOR RAWLINS ADDRESS Senator Rawlinsr then delivered his address He referred first to the great oligarchy of wealth which controlled I the last selection and whose shibboleth was Silver must be destroyed He spoke of this as n combination which cared neither for free trade or protection protec-tion except in so far as It satisfied their greed and avarice This allied power took wealth from the people under un-der any system they allowed to prevail and so deformed protection and limping limp-ing free trade went together to feed monopoly These people preferred cities to country places the east to the west and the north to the south Mr Rawlins spoke of the origin In England of these schemes to exact tribute trib-ute from the American people and described de-scribed how the eTJitesaries of a foreign power leagued withservile and traitorous traitor-ous monopolists here executed their disastrous schemes The oligarchy of wealth was now arrayed against the people and to meet this vigilant enemy the people must prepare for the impending im-pending conflict Similarly he continued it would not be unwise to organize in a nonpartisan non-partisan way if here were flagrant evils t be remedle But how the sordid sor-did soul o greed would be filled with delight if the message went to the Atlantic At-lantic that here in the metropolis of the west where the fight for silver was supposed to he l hottest n party led by corporations had triumphed over the party that all by its principles The kind of message we want to go forth is one which will thrill the honest yeomanry yeo-manry of the country What excuse have McCornick Dooly Co for gathering in secret conclave and arbitrarily selecting a municipal ticket without consulting the people Lat year almost twothirds of the population here voted for the great I Democratic party and what It represented repre-sented I is an insult to these people who are the intellectual and farsighted ones to arbitrarily nominate men to run their own city government without consulting these who are to be governed gov-erned erncdTe city government is not a concern con-cern only of the small coterie of men who met in the rear of n bank to say who should control It it Is n matter of vital interest to every man woman and child In the city Applause Will you stultify yourselves and make yourselves unworthy the franchise by voting for this ticket sO unworthily put UD DALE CAN BE TRUSTED Mr Rawlins here referred to the merits of the Democratic ticket and I particularly of Mr Dale whom he knew to be honorable honest and capable No man he said can look Mr Dale in the face and then go I away and say he cannot be trusted Democratic nominees represented a principle and if people elected them they would have a compass by which to gage the course of their official lives I they did not abide by the principles of the party they were traitors NONPARTISAN LEADERS The leaders of the nonpartisans were representatives of no principle Clark Dooly McCornick all had party affiliations once as did all the nominees nomi-nees of that mongrel ticket but no foresight could perceive where they are now In the coming year when the vital question of whether the gold standard was to be fastened upon the people forever should be decided there would be wrangling and discord with the nonpartisans in power When this lack of harmony was carried Into the city there would bean be-an administration a Imbecile as the one which now holds the reins The election of the united and harmonious Democracy continued Mr Rawlins is the only safeguard When the question of questions Is trembling in the balance It will be consoling to know that the emissaries of the gold standard cannot come herewith here-with the Democracy in power and concoct a scheme with municipal officers of-ficers to defrau > you of victory in the tate Applause That power yvIII stop at nothing I turns great railroad rail-road corporations into whips and fiends men like dumb driven cattle Last year wavering states were unscrupulously un-scrupulously column I turned IntO he McKinley THE REPUBLICANS Dwelling upon what the Republican party stood for Mr Rawiins referred to the humiliating spectacle of the monetary commission supplicating at the foot of the throne of England from whose sway the people were suppose to have been free for over a hundred years In this connection the speaker referred to the perfidy of President McKinley who while ostensibly favoring the mission Of the monetary commission secretly worked in connection with aggregated wealth to defeat them by appointing a legislative legis-lative commission to fasten on the te United States the gold standard While conscious of this fraudulent a ton he local Republicans did not have the courage to come out In denunciation o i in their platform Referring again to the nonpartisans i Rawiins condemned the condemne unapproachable unap-proachable egotism of the new party In Implying the 23 members had more Wisdom than the whole people He considered the right of selecting candi dates a great as the right to the te franchise SOME TELLING POINTS Senator Rawlins spoke sarcastically of the nonpartisan demand for a business administration Discussing the question of what their idea would likely be of a business administration he considered that a a judicious banker Mr McCorntcks idea would be a condition under which the bank could get as much a possible from the city The idea of representatives of corporations would be that a city government which would give them all the franchises they wonted would constitute con-stitute a good business administration l Parley Williams If elected would have difcule I the Rapid Transit com I pany of which he is attorney wanted a franchise It would be difficult to advocate and difficult to deny I I was a question said Mr Rawlins In conclusion of nominees of a party to office who would place the affairs of the people in jeopardy or electing I men whose administration would be safe and economical and to the best I interest of the whole people When the applause was over Master I and Miss Brown raised their voices In song after which Chairman Gillespie
