16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1896. FOR PURE REPUBLICANISM, S. W. McCall Speaks to a Large Audience on Finance. THE COINAGE QUESTION EXPLAINED. Bursts of Applause Make the Auditorium Ring From Pit to Dome. GEORGE A. KNIGHT BERATES FICKLE VOTERS. Magnificent Expression of Popular Sentiment in Favor of the Upholding of an Honest Financial Standard All Over the United A large and appreciative audience filied every available corner in the Auditorium last night to listen to the eloquence of Congressman 8. W. McCall and George A. | Knight. The meeting took place under the auspices of the Republican State Cen- tral Committee and was characterized throughout by & certain high-toned aig- nity and moderation which detracted nothing from the enthusiasm of the im- mense audience, while it imparted to the great assemblage a seriousness and pro- priety well worthy of emulation in other quarters. L. B. Apsley, whose oratory has made bim a favorite even among those outside of his party in all sectlons of the Union, was also to have addressed the meeting, but owing to indisposition was prevented from so doing. It is hoped, however, that he will soon become acclimated and en- | thuse yet more the already buoyant- minded Republicans with his logic and eloguence. The interior of the commodious meet- ing-place presented a sea of faces, male and female. Stage, orchestra, dress circle, balcony and galleries were filled with a throng of refined and deeply interested auditors. Among them were noticed many of the foremost society people now in town, many ladies forming part of the im- mense gathering. The interior of the building was mag- nificently decorated and brilliantly illu- minated by electricity. Over the center of the stage hung a life- size portrait of Mr. McKinley, framed in festoons of red, white and biue silk, span- gled with golden stars. The gallery rail- ings were adorned with graceful hangings of cheesecloth in the National colors, in- terspersed with shields, banners and like- nesses of the Republican nominees. From the center of the roof hung a gaily decorated lantern, from which depended streamers of red, white and blue bunting, caught up at symmetrical intervals along the walls. Abiati’s band of forty pieces furpished the music of the evening, the opening selection, the overture to ‘‘Semi- ramide,” by Rossini, being particularly deserving of notice by reason of the artis- tic and spirited style in which it was rendered. Mr. Knight, chairman of the evening, opened the meeting by calling upon the Knickerbocker Quartet for a selection. This organization has now achieved quite a name for itself in musical circles, and last night’s work inerely affirmed the generai verdict of ecritics who have heard it. The quartet comprises the following well- known vocalists: First tenor, D. M. Law- rence; second tenor, Charles Elliott; first bass, D. B. Crane: second bass, L. A. Larsen. They sang a comic political song entitled “The Democratic Boat,” which took so well that it had to be repeated. When the quartet had finished Mr, Knight said: Thel Republican party to-night is not con- fined to California. We have with us one who hes not only done good work in behalf of Re- publicanism, but who has furnished the key- note and sounded the onslaught for the fray which made Wiiliam J. Bryan the nominee of the Democratic party of this Nation. However much Democracy may admire its standard-bearer, however much consoiation they may derive from the fact that he is termed one of the greatest orators of the age, and though it may rank him with the Webslers, the Clays and the Calhouns of the past, the Republican party of this Nation was the organization that furnished Mr. Bryan with the metaphor, “Thou shalt not press down the crown of thorns upon the brow of labor” [laughter], and “You shall not crurity mankind upon & eross of gold.” AJ:reuy conception, & pretty thought when used aright, and when you take into con- sideration the fact' that ‘all the good. all the pure rhetoric, all the great statesmanship, has emanated from the organization of which we are proud to be members, then it is not sur- prising, it does not strike us as anything out of the ordinary, that they should filch from the history the brains of the Republican party those things which, when ploperl{ used, should make anybody popular. [Applause.j The present fight, continued the chair- NEW TO-DAY. . On the Train a spoonful of Fred Brown’s Gin. ger will correct nausea, refresh and strengthen your stom- ach, prevent cold. Fred Brown’s JAMAICA GINGER. Sold everywhere. FRED BROWN CO., Philadelphia. | the cause of freedom were one. States. man, was in effect that of Democracy against the progressive spirit of the age. The same old pasty was again before the Nation asking for respectful consideration. Similarly the Republican party as in the past was eager for the preservation of right and for the true freedom of the race; they were devoted to the great principle which nad formerly claimed the earnest attention of the people of this Republic.’ He remembered when Lincoln was run- ning for the Presidency some were for the abolition of slavery, while others wished to retain it, but every manswho drew an inspiration from the Star-spangled Ban- ner believed that Abraham Lincoln [and Ap- plause.] And now those Republicans who to-night perhaps did not feel exactly in accord with the financial platform of his party and were standing at the street cor- ner discussing silver and cousidering whether the gold standard as the Demo- crats put it, was the proper thing or not, should stop and think whether the party that proclaimed, *“Praise ve the Lord,” was really the party to be trusted. The speaker pointed out the gross-absurdity of & position that could lead a President of the United States to the conclusion that there was too much woney in the treasury and induce him to propose that means should be devised to get rid of it. Such was exactly the position of Grover Cleveland. After dealing generally with several other issues of the campaign, em- phasizing in particular the attitude of the Republican party as contrasted with that of its opponents, he introduced Congress- man McCall in the following terms: It is my pleasure and it is yours to be present at & meeting where one who has been honored by the people of Massachusetts in Congress, one who has done good work for the Na- tion in the halls of Congress, is to address you ugon the politieal issues of the day and to talk to you with the earnestness of purpose and the diction of a scholar, always a characteristic of the men from that State, which has done so much for the Nation; from & State which has unified the hearts of mil- lions of people, and has produced the wisest statesmen, the most cultured gentlemen and Republicans in this broad land, of which we are so proud. I have the honor of introducing to-night the Hon. 8. W. McCall of Massachusetts, who represents what is known as the “Back Bay” district of Massachusetts—{rom Boston—who has delivered addresses throughout the United Etates, and he can tell you that California, al- though 3000 miles away from the head cen- ters, is in touch with fhat sentiment which has made it possible for us to be a progressive, an enlightened people, and has entitled us to the respectful consideration of other nations of the world. [Applause]. Hon. 8. W. McCall, who was received with a prolonged round of applause, said: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am deeplytouched by the warm and kind reception which you have given me this evening. It is quite in line with whatI have been receivin, for the last two or three days. I think it wil Tequire at least six months for me to make up m}' mind as to what 1 think of San Francisco. have had so many experiences crowded into the last two or three days that it isim- possible for me to get my bearings correctly or 1o know exactiy where Istand. I thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your kind introduction, although the effect thereof is somewhat marred by the fact that you hold me up as in some degree responsible for what the Demo- cratic convention did at Chicago. That is an honor which I do not espire to enjoy. [Laughter.} Iam very glad to address the people of this great metropolis this evening—a great City, not s0 much on account of what you are, as on account of what you promise’ to be. [Ap- plause] Not simply great becausé of your magnificent environment, nor because of your harbor, upon which the navies of the whoie world can easily and safely ride—although that is glory enough for one city, but beeatss of your ‘position here upon this ses. coast, the portal through which the commerce of the great Nation and of the 3000 miles of splendid territory trom here to the Atlantic Ocean must pour forth, in order to reach the Eastern and the Southern world. And not merely that, but 1f I mistake not, and wo obtain again the prosperity which we enjoyed under thirty years of Re- publicin administration, your achievements will not be limited to this great ocean upon which this City so proudiy sits, but we will open to you also the Atlantic, so by that you may transport through the Nicaraguan canal ul:e {ruits of your industry. [Tremendous ap- plause. And Lot me add that the Democratic ad- ministration has already cost the people of this country almost twice as much money as it :g;nlu require to complete that great public Iredoznize that with difference of localit; there may be different views of great Dl‘lbll!’: questions, but I think that in the campeign upon which we are now entering the interests or the people of Califoruia and of the people of Massachusetts are identical. You are not merely benefited s the rest of the country is benefited, but trom the fact of your position here—your isolation and relation to the entire country—I believe that there is nocity or State in the Union which will be so signally benefited as you will be by the Testoration of a Republican policy. And so in addressing myseif to you to-night 1 shall attempt to point out not merely the narrow ain which may accrue to you—the bene. which this or that particular inter- est will derive, but I will rather address my remarks to the great benefit that will acerue to the whole countryand to the enhanced prosperity that the latter will receive from the. triumph of those principles and that licy which are represented by William McKmley. [Prolonged appiause.] Four years ago, after it was shown that the Democrats had elected their President, the Senate and a majority of the House of Repre- sentatives we awaited with expectancy the -realization of the promises of thirty-two years. But the Democratic party had always been &n oppos:tion ‘fiuly. It had no record—at least, if we do allude toits record we must go back to the days of James Buchanan, and we are told that those days savor of ancient his- tory. The Demoerats then came before the people with promises; we had to fight promises. Unfortunately we were prosperous, and sometimes when people are prosperous they want to be better off. You have heard oi the old saw about the fool who was well, but wanted to be better. He took physic and he died. [Luughter.] That was our condition then. In an evil nour the people turned a willifig ear 1o the fairy tales of the Demogcratic party. After four years of maladministration they do not point with pride to anything they have done. Theyv do not seem to wish us to con- sider the past. They want the veil of secrecy drawn over it. They have fallen so much into the habit of being an opposition party that they have cut loose from themselves, so to speak, and denounce themselyes, and now they come before the people with & brand-new assortment of rainbows and ask for our sup- port. [Applause.j 1 think it would be & proper proceeding for us to look at what they have done instead of considering their new remedy, which they propose for the mischief they themselves have wrought. The question of what our policy should be is one upon which all men should unite and agree, as our fathers did when they established the mint, and as they did down to the War of the Rebeition. ; I can recognize and sympathize with the class which is perfectly sincere in doubting a line of policy, but I bave no sympatby with those wgg put forth the Democratic platform at Chicago and proposed the free coinage of silver as & measure of repudiation and of National disnonor. Mr. ryan says and makes an_appeal to National pride thereby: “Is not the country great enough to have bi- metallism at 16 to1 without waiting for the consent of other nations?”” That sounds well and may influence a vote, bat I have simply to say that this great coun- try, however great it may be, is yet not great enough to suspend a law of gravitation or any of those great natural laws which no Congress enacted and which no Congress can repeal. We are great enough to establish silver monometallism, if we will, but we cannot have bimetallism and the free and unlimited coinage and the use of two metals at a legal ratlo, which materiaily differs from their relative bullion value. [Applause.] 1 will endeavor to show that Mr. Bryan is really an advocate of silver monometaliism. The mint was established at the recommenda- tion of that great statesman who aided George Washington in founding the Republic—Alex- ander Hamilton. He was a bimetallist and es- tablished the first coinage ratio, But he went to work like a statesman and not like a Popu- list. [Laughter and applause.] He worked with his head instead of working exclusively with his mouth. Ii you will read his report on the mint you will find therein preeisely in what way he es- tablished the ratio, not of 16 to 1—one would think that the Almighty had ordained that those should forever be ‘the relative bullion values of those metals—but of 15to1l. He made & study of the markets of the world and discovered that fifteen pounds of silver would then buy exactly one pound of gold and that these two quantities were exact equivalents. This ratio obtained for from fifteen to twenty s found, however, in the course of ¢ime that one pound of gold was worth a little more than fifteen pounds of silver and as a natural result that gold was being expelled from our currency and either hoarded or exported. No man would pay his debts with a gold dollar when he could get a silver dollar with less trouble. So we arrivea at a silver basis and we had no gold. In 1834 the matter came before Congress and ully considered by a committee of that body, which found after another study of the markets that the ratio was now 15 6-10 to 1. Consequently a bill establishing that ratio was introduced. But somebody—whether & Popu- list or not I do not know—wanted an even number and moved to amecd the bill by making the ratio 16 to 1. That motion car- ried. S0 now, while one pound of gold was worth 15 6-10 pounds of silver it was not worth in the markets of the world quite 16 pounds, and the result was that siiver began to be ex- ported and gold imported. We arrived at a gold basis. Even that slight difference of four-tenths of one point was sufficient to ex- pel our silver and to make usagold mono- metallic people. And from 1834 to 1873, when the “great crime” was committed, a silver dollar was only a curiosity. Here the speaker made a digression in order to show that France, Germany and the countries of the Latin union had passed through a similar financial experience. Continuing he said: This demonstrates that it the present ratio were 18 or 17 to 1 the fiat of the Goveroment making 1t 16 to 1 would put us upon a silver basis. And it is, therefore, utterly preposter- ous, when the ratio is 82 to 1, to haye the two metals associated side by side upon equal terms. If Mr. Bryan is honest he will talk no longer in this cam- aign about being & bimetallist. He will say ;’rlnkly: “I am in favor of siiver monometal- lism and of having this great Nation secede trom civilization, from the greai commercial nations of the world, from the great countries of Europe, and rank ourselves by the sjde of Mexico, Chi and other half-civilized and [heathen nations.” [Applause.] But Mr. Bryan comes to the rescue again with an appeal to our National pride, or rather to our National hatred. The speaker severely criticized Mr. Bry- an’s contention that the Republican party is trying to foist upon the country a Eu- ropean system of finance, and observed that, though he would personally prefer an American system of finance, yet he would select a European system rather than that of an alien and 'heathen race like China. He pointed out that the Republican party is actually the true bimetallic party, though it proposes to maintain the ex- isting financial standard until a change can be effected by international agree- ment. Mr. Bryan’s system would lead to the expulsion of our gold which now did the work of money. On the other hand the Republican policy would retain $600,- 000,000 of gold side by side with the same quantity of silver. The speaker cited many other conclu- sive arguments to prove the logic of the Republican political standpoint and to further emphasize the fact that Mr. Bryan is really a silver monometallist. He showed how the free and unlimited coin- age of silver would injure nearly every class in the community—the farmer, the artisan, the laborer and the policy-nolder, and incidentally knocked the bottom out of the contention that the Mexican work- man enjoys a greater degree cf prosperity than the American. The Mexican dollar possessed only half the purchasing power of the American dollar. Mr. McCall was interrupted by the chairman when half-way through his speech, and at the latter’s request quoted from a dispatch just received which stated that the re-ult of the vote in Vermont showed largely increased Repuolican gains. [Loud applause.] After a partial consideration of the tariff question, so scrupulously ignored by Mr. Bryan, Mr. McCall concluded his magniricent effort as follows: If we must have a boy anything ?Ve us not the boy orator but the boy soldier. [Applause.] Give us the man to-day in the splenaid ma- turity of his powers, who when a boy was willing to bare his young breast to the smoke and shot of battle in defense of his country—a statesman of many years of ripened experi- ence; give us the great leader, the great pro- tectionist, the man who holds the honor of his country as sacred as his own—give us as our next President William McKinley. [Tremend- ons applause.] At the close of Mr. McCall’s magnificent oration the g:werful speaker was cheered to the echo, being obliged to come to the front no less than three times and bow his acknowledgments to the applaunding mul- titude. The quariet sang a stirring four- part song, the refrain to which consisted of tuneful repetitions of the prophecy, *‘Protection is bound to win the day.’’ The band gave an inspiring rendition of “The Union Forever,” after which Mr, Knight made excuses for Mr. Apsley, and in bidding good-night to the audience took occasion to remind all present that the future weal or woeof the Nation would be the result of the people’s votes. ‘‘The evils that have come near ruining ur country in the near past,” he said, ‘are all traceable to the misuse of the ballot. Had the people voted richt the country-would have been governed right. They made a mistake and the Nation fell into a slough of despond and disaster. “Among those who thus wrongly voted were some Republicuns. Now is the time for these backsliders and turncoats to re- trace their steps and atone for their folly. Go home and think about it. Good night.” Mr. Knight is always ' original, but this novel way of dismissing a large and cultured assemblage struck the audience as ludicrously unique, even for him, and amid mucn laughter and cheering the gifted orator had to come to the front and make his bow before any one would go. “Three cheers for McKinley and Hobart,” cried a stentorian voice from the orchestra. X Three mighty cheers with a ‘‘tiger,” | rent the air, and the great gathering dis- persed to the inspiring sound of an original fantasia of American National airs rendered by the band, many of the patriotic songs being cau-ht up and sung by the people as they passed oat of the edifice. ————— BIG RALLY AT INGLESIDE. Ocean View Joins With the Race- course Republicans for McKin~ ley and the Party. The Ingleside Republican Club held a rousing meeting last night. In the ab- sence of J. W. Cook, president of the club, Vice-President Robert Lee presided. There were fully 400 persons present. Robert Ash was the first speaker. He dwelt at considerable length upon the issues of the campaign and showed that the free coinage of silver would only ben- efit the men who own the silver mines. 8. J. Duckworth, a Native Son from Monterey, who has aiready addressed large meetings at Petaluma and Healdsburg, was the next speaker. He held his au- dience in close attention while he re- viewed the speeches of W. J. Bryan, and from an array of facts and figures showed where the Democratic leader is either wofully ignorant or willfully false in some of his statements. Hon. J. K. Hobbs, Juage Schell, John Daly and otilers made short addresses, after which the Ingleside Glee Club amused the gathering with some of its patriotic campaign songs. —_———— Speakers Assigned.

Alex Coblyn’s Lofty Dive at the Lurline Baths. HIS TURN IN THE AIR. Taking a Graceful Header in Only Eight Feet of Water. A RIVAL OF STEVEZ BRODIE, Just a Simple Control of the Body. H: Will Dive From Brooklyn Bridge. A young all-round athlete at the Lurline Baths is treading in th- footsteps of Steve Brodie—who will soon arrive here—or rather is diving through the air in the track of the great Brooklyn bridge jump- er. His name is Alexander Coblyn, a na- tive of France, 28 years of age. He first began bis career as a diver from thearches of the Pont Neufinto the Seine when he was a little Parisian lad, and has kept up his amphibious plunges ever since. Coblyn does not drop feet foremost into deep water, like Brodie and other high jumpers, but comes down Lead on, turn- ing at will in the air, and piercing the surface like a duck. As his hands reach the water he curves again, which prevents his body from sinking more than three or four feet. At the Lurline Baths yesterday he mounted to s frail platform close to the skylight, ninety-nine fect above the great tank. There was only eight feet of water under him, and it seemed that from that lofty dive he would be dashed to pieces. ben all was ready he took in a long breath and lightiy sprang into the space before him. His body shot down about twenty feet, then began to turn. It wasa graceful curve, and before half of the distance was reached he was completel: reversed, his body vertical, and wit hands stretched out and meeting below his head he struck the water exactly 3 1-5 seconds from the instant he left the plat- form. By a fair calculation it can be said that vis 177-pouna body would fall at the rate of 100 feet in three seconds, descend- ing sixteen feet the first second, the speed increasing the remaining two seconds. As he struck the water he turned into a herizontal position, sinking only four feet, and immediately appeared uninjured and swimming swiftly toward the ianding- place. The diver then climbed to a 75-foot plat- form and gave a number of exhibition falls. He stood on his hands at the edge of his lofty perch and letting his legs swing outward over his head whirled in a complete turn, strikinz the water head first. He threw a summersault ip the air, making two turns, entering the water always with a graceful header. “It is much safer and causes less ill effects to dive than jump,” said he, “if you can get your head pointed straight downward as you strike, because in a long descent the blood and the body organs that are more or less movable wiil lift up toward the feet and you come down feel- ing all right. A person can think pretty fast even during the few instances he is cutting through the air, and whenever I find my body getting out of the vertical I twist myself back into a safe position again. [ have such control over my mus- cles that I can dive as safely 200 feet as I | can 100. Dropping from a great height 1 would have plenty of time to get myself intoshape for tne strike. It is easy if one has a little nerve and knows how to handle himself. “Iam going East soon to take the 120- foot dive from Brooklyn bridge. Brodie NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. NOVELTY BLACK DREDS FABRICY!

I will try any feat in this line where I have plenty of air to turn in and water to land in.” Francis Geddes, a 1ad 16 years old and a pupil of Coblyn, made a number of grace- ful dives from tNe 75-foot platform under the direction of his master. He wanted to attempt the 99-foot drop, but the teacher vetoed the act. The two divers went to Stockton last night, where they will duck into the slough for the edification of the Admis- sion day celebrators. D MAND A\ JURY. The Case of Dr. A. A.
