FAULTS OF FREE COINAGE. An Original Talk.on the Issues of the Campaign by a Very Homely Man. Frank W. Cushman of Washington State is s humorous as he is homely, as logical as he is awkward. This is saying a good deal for Mr, Cush+ man, but he merits it all, for he 1s one of the ugliest and most entertaining speakers ever seen in the Auditorium. | The house was full to overflowing, and | Democratic piatform —a contemptible Russian anarchistic attack upon the high- est tribunal in the Nation. Mr. Cushn.an, on being introduced to the audience, was presented by Theodore Reichert with a bouquet of golden chrys- anthemums in his most graceful manner. It Mr. Cushman had been a lady Mr. Reichert could not have made the pre- sentation more gracefully. Mr. Cushman gained the good will and sympathy of his hearers in his first few sentences, and held them weil in hand until the close. He thanked the ladies who had assembled to hear him, and said that the time was soon coming when women would have an equal voice and vote in the affairs of the Nation, and he added that he could not see that there was. any difference between the refined brain of 2 woman and that of a man. On the subject of the denunciation of the Supreme Court by the National Demo: cratic Convention he said: “If the Snpreme Court of the United States is to be criticized I want that criti- cism to emanate from a man who. stands before the country with his bonor unim- peached, and not from the man who par- doned and let outof the Illinois peniten- tiary anarchists whose hands were reeking red- with the blood of American citizens.” In a reference to Bryan Mr, Cushman described him as ‘“‘this new Democratic soap-bubble filled with Nebraska wind,”” and he raised a shout of !aughter when he said that during the four years of Har- rison's administration the peonle were so busy making money that they didn’t have time to think, but now the people had more time than anything else. Not one of the silver orators had at- tempted to explain.how this free s'lver FINAL RALLY OF | THE DEMOCRATS Flow of Free-Silver Elo- quence in the Pavilion Last Night. Governor Budd Enveloped in the Folds of a Falling Flag. A VERY DRAMATIC INCIDERT. Som= One Loosened the Halliards and the Star-Spangled Banner Fluttered Down. Thousands of flags waved in the [Me. chanics’ Pavilion last night and great enthusiasm prevailed, for the forces of Bryan and free silver were gathered for the purpose of making a demonstration that they considered worthy of the close of the campaigr, Marching columns of Iroquois braves, FRANK W. CUSHMAN of the State of Washington, the Abe Lincoln of the Northwest Mr, Cushman, a tail, slab-side, crooked- shouidered young man, with a clear voice and the most awkward of gestures, but full of animal magnetism, kept his hearers spellbound for two hours last night. Sam Booth and an excellent quartet furnished vo cal music to the delight of their hearers, who encored again and again, ‘Among the citizens on the platform were | Charles ¥. Crocker and E. F. Preston. H. N. Clement presided over the meeting and introduced Judge A. Van R. Paterson as the first speaker. Judge Paterson was warmly greeted with a round of long-continued appiause and vegan by saying that it was about seventeen years since he had attempted to make a political speech. He had been content to remain silent and vote, be- lieving that the newly elected Presi- dent and his Cabinet would discharge their duties with patriotism and fidelity to the constitution, confi- dent that no lasting injury would be done to the country, no matter who might be elected. But in this present conflict he saw that something was press- ing against the framework of the State and that there was imminent danger to Republican institutions. It was the duty of his hearers next Tuesday to avert that danger, and he added significantly: “It will be averted. The only thing left to do | is to see with how great emphasis it shall | be averted.” ° The speaker spoke of the ascendancy of American women in this campaign, and said that it would be but u very short time before all the members-of all the political parties would be falling over one another to ask favors of American womanhood at the polls. He believed in the necessity for the com- pletion of ihe Nicaragua canal, in reci- procity and other issues that are going NEW TO-DAY.

He told a funny story of a Democrat who asked him whether he would have to go down to the | Sub-Treasury for his free silver or whether it would be sent up to_him. The speaker informed the anxious Democrat that if he would send his address to Congressman Maguire that gentleman would send him | his free silver and would pay the express charges on it. 1t seemed to have escaped the memory of the silver orators’ that this country has been under the gold standard for many years, and that it was always prosperous under Republican administration. Not the free coinage of silver is wanted, but the free coinage of American labor into American products to be sold in Ameri- can markets to American men and women. Another reference to Bryan exhibited the quaint diction of the speaker. In say- ing that he formerly lived in Nebraska and knew Mr. Bryan he said: “I knew him as well &s if I had went through him with a lantern.” He followed with an anecdote of a Democrat who listened to one of Congress- man Bryan’s ‘speeches in 1890 and said that he wanted a change. When the speaker saw him after the change had taken place the poor man told him that he had worn his old pants so threadbare that he had become ashamed of and had turned them inside out and Mr. Cush- man predicted that if the Democratic party were allowed to continue in its own sweet way the poor man would have no breeches at all. On the subject of free coinage Mr. Cush- | man said that there is not, never was and | never would be a free-coinage coin worth | more than the bullion in it. He askea how it was that when the law fixed the ratio of gold and silver coins the gold and silver dollars separated from that value— from 1510110 82 to 1. A coin cannot rise above its bullion value in the markets of the world. Mr. Cushman told of a letter he had're- ceived from Fred Grant, son of Ulysses S. Grant, in which he said his father had always taken the stand that it was a great misfortune for any nation to have for its coinage basis any metal about which there might be the least element of un- certainty. ““‘When the laboring man shall receive a Bryan dollar for a dollar’s worth of labor be will receive 53 cents and will trust in God for the remaining 47 cents. There never was a time since Noah left the ark when human labor was paid higher than it was in the United States when Harri- son was President,”” were sentences which evoked enthusiastic applause. The audience was thrown into merri- ment by Mr. Cushman’s reference to Mr. Bryan’s declaration that free coinage would cause the value of the gold dollar to fall, and in the same speech that it would make the silver dollar as good as the gold dollar. “Why, my friends,’”” added the speaker, ‘‘the man who made that statement was so crooked that he couldn’t walk about the block without meeting himself on the the other side.” Granted a Permit. anointing with CUTICURA (olntment), proves bene- ficial in relieving tired, lame, or strained muscles.

Corr. v kow to OB The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to recommend that the Olympic Club be per- mitted to hold a professional boxing enter- tainment within the next_sixty-five days, I the Bryan Free Silver Flambeau Club, the uniformed Democratic clnbs of Alameda County and other organizations began to arrive at 8 o’clock, and half an hour later all the seats of the vast edifice were'filled, only a small space of standing room re- maining unoccupied in the western end of the hall. By request of the committee of arrange- ments the American flag was adopted as the emblem for the occasion, and, as small eopies of the National ensign were fur- nished free to all who entered the hall, there was no lack of color in the assem- blage. In order to draw as big a crowd as pos- sible a long list of speakers had been an- nounced, the followirig-named gentlemen being included: Governor James H. Budd, Senator Stephen M. White, Congressman James G. Maguire, J. J. Dwyer, Frank H. Gould, W. W. Foote, Thomas V. Cator, Thomas J. Clunie, Henry C. Gesford, M. F. Taylor, Charles D. Lane, W. H. Alford, Jefferson G. Chandler, M. F. Tarpey, E. M. Wardall, Governor R. B. Smith and George W. Baker. £ A majority of these gentlemen took seats on the platform, which had been raised near the south side of the hall for the accommodation of the orators. A number of other prominent Democrats and silver ad vocates were also present. At 8:30 o’clock W. H. Alvord, chairman of the Democratic campaign committee, attempted to call the meeting to order, but was interrupted by the entry of half a dozen marching clubs and bands that had not been included in the official pro- gramme. There was so much enthusiastic cheer- ing that it was 9 o'clock before Mr. Al- vord again thought it worth while to try to obtain order. Mr. Alford said that he had never be- fore seen a Democratic meeting that was big enough to suit him, but ar last his ambition in this regard was gratified. He said: *“We have been called anarchists be- cause we criticized tne Supreme Court. To that we reply that couris are sub ject 1o criticism the same as any other thing or person in this world, and we draw their attention to the fact that many of the atrocious crimes of the centuries have been committed by the sanction of courts. The crucifixion of Christ was authorized by a court. The beheading of St. John was ordered by a court; witches were burned in England and America by order of courts; Robert Emmet, the matchless Irish patriot, was executed by order of a court. Those courts and all other courts that sanction an invasion of the rights of the people are justly subject to the criti- cism of honest men. ‘When Governor Budd was announced he was greeted with genuine enthusiasm; the band played **Hail to the Chief,” an the little tlags were vigorously waved to and fro. The Governor was in good voice, but there was so much commotion in the hall that he could not be heard excent by those in the immediate vicinity of the rostrum. Tom Reed’s name opened Governor Budd’s remarks. He said: Tom Reed has safd that it did not require the shout of a Bryan man because you could tell him by his face. That is-a fact, because on the face of :hat man there is found honesty oié)nrpou and stamped there more than all independence of ncn&en, that dearest right of an American citizen, independent of the dic- tates of corporations to go into the voting booth and then,in theeye of bis God, o cast his ballot for the man of his choice, according to the dictates of his heart. The Governor had begtin to speakin Pprotest against the action of Mark Hanna in avtempting, as he thought, 10 monopol- ize the star-spangled banner and to estab- lish a flag day for the Republican party in this country, when some one loosened the immense flag that stretched across the Lall over the speaker’s head and it fell down enveloping the Governor and for a moment hiding him from the audience. In an instent the Governor shouted that the cuttiny of the flag rope was a Republi- can trick, but almost immediately he re- considered that opinion, and said it must have been an unintentional act of some person who acted as arr instrument in the hands of the Almighty, who thus mani- fested his npprovuf of this meeting by graciously crowning it with the star- !hflnzled banner, so dear to the hearts of all. When the flag first fluiterea down from the upper air a cry went up to lynch the person who cut the halliards, but Governor Budd quieted the crowd by saying that while the Republican leaders might try to monopolize the National ensign, he was sure ihat -there was not & man in the country so dastardly as to voluntarily put a knife to the flag of his country. [Ap- plause.] 1 After paying a tribute to the Populists and the Silver Republicans, who had come forward in what heclaimed was a spirit of true patriotism ‘to support the champion of the people, Governor Budd proposed three cheers for William Jen- nings Bryan, who, in his oninion, would be the next President of the United States. The cheers were given, followed by the usual “tiger.” Charles. D. Lane, the wealthy gold miner of Angels Camp, the “angel” of the Bryan campaigu in California, was intro- duced as one ot the stanchest silver advo- cates of the Pacific Coast. Mr. Lane de- clared that, in his opinion, the true sys- tem of “sound money” is the bimeuallic system advocated by those who are sup- porting Mr. Bryan,” He introduced Judge James G. Maguire, who was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. He declared that the Demacratic pdrty stands for the rights of the people, for equal opportuni- ties for all, special privileges for none, and that W. ? Bryan is the personal rep- resentative of these sentiments in the presentcampaign, ) Judge Maguire spoke ' for several min- utes on the silver question, and when the audience callea out for him to “goon” he excused himself on the ground that there were others to speak and he must save his voice in order to argue against Mr. Hunt- ington’s funding bill that is soon to come up in Congress. Thomas V. Cator attempted to speak, but his remarks did not attract much at- tention, his voice being almost entirely drowned by the shouts and outcries of the crowd. 2 5 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt made a spir- ited appeal to the Democrats to support the sixth constitutional amendment, and give the women a chance to vote. She de- manded it as the right of tlie womanhood of the country. Her remarks were weil. received. Hon. J. J. Dwyer, member of the Dem- ocratic National Committee, was the next speaker. He bezan by protesting against what he declared was the effort of “Emperor Mark Hanna'’ to monopolize the American flag on the 31st of October. He said that he feared that the Republi- cans would try to bribe voters and would endeavor to make a dishonest countof the ballots. Democrats were called on to be watchful dnd to frustrate the efforts of their opponents. : George W. Baker of the California Bi- metallic League raised a laugh by saying that judging by the meeting before him the adherents of Mr. Bryan would be all right on election day, and would defeat their opponents at the ratio of about 16 to 1. He declared that he haa just received a telegram from Los Angeies saying that -| 7000 silver Republicans had been enrolled i that city under a pledge to vote for Mr. Bryan despite the mighty efforts of Czar Reed, who had come all the way across the continent to tgli the people of “California how to vote. M. F. Tar;ey, when introduced, said that he had been asked, Where is Tom Reed? He said he didn’t know, and he thought if Mr. Reed had obtained a vision of this meeting beforecoming to thiscoast it would have required a search warrant to find him. [Laughter.] Mr. Tarpey then grew very serious as he pictured the awfal consequences that wouid follow if the single goid standard should be saddled upon this country by those bold, bad men, the Republicans. In conclusicn he warned Bryan Democrats against voting for the nominees of the so- called National Democratic party. E. M. Wardall, chairman of the Popu- list State Committee, spoke briefly pledg- ing the support of the People’s party to the joint electoral ticket agreed on by the friends of Bryan and silver. Henry C. Gesiora made a brief speech, after which G. W. Baker proposed three cheers for Charles D. Lane, who, he said, had supplied the sinews of war for the siyer campaign in this State, thus, in Mr. Baker’s opinion, to a certain extent stand- 1ng off the sack of Mark Hanna. The cheers of gratitude were rendered to Mr. Lane, and with thres more for Mr. Bryan the meeting adjourned. $5 and $6 cassimere hair-line stripe this week $2 95.

B SYMPHONY CONCERT. A Fashionable Audience Listens to Strains of Sweet Music. The Baldwin Theater was comfortably filled yesterday afternoon with a matinee audience, composed chiefly of ladies, who had been attracted by the second congert of the Hinrichs-Beel series. The orchestra had been somewhat strengthened since the opening concert of the series a fortnight since, the strings were firmer and the brass and reeds did better work. This was especially noticea- ble in the symphony, which was played in 8 smooth and finished manner through- out. The "Seigfried” music was also per- formed with akeen appreciation of its beauties, and so was the music from Saini- Saens’ *‘Henry VIIL” Sigmund Beel played Max Bruch's G minor concerto for violin and orchestra brilhamly'_nnd was ‘enthnsiastically ap- vlanded.

NOT DISCOVERED IN .TIME, Mrs. Cscelia Slow of Turk Street Heard the Woman Moan and She Calied in Help. Jennie Ward, a domestic living at 216 Turk street, was sent to the Receiving Hospital early yesterday morning suffer- ing from gas asphyxiation. The physi- cians said the case would probably prove fatal. Trom all appearances it was acase of ac- cident, for there is no reason given fér the young woman desiring to end her life. She went to bed about 10 o’clock the night before in good spirits. Although out of employment Miss Ward could always find a hoe with her uncle and aunt, who are well to do. “Associated with the asphyxiation is a feature of a psychological nature. It was presented by the statement of Mrs. Cecelia Slow, who lives in the same house with Miss Ward and with whom she was on very friendly terms. Mrs, Slow’s state- ment was as follows: “‘Mrs. Maggie Hahn, Miss Ward and I had been together in my room during the preceding eveming,’” said she, “and at 10 o'clock Jennie said she was going to bed. Mrs. Hahn was staying with me, as my husband is out of town. About 5 o’clock this morning I awoke from a horrible dream, which caused me to arouse Mrs. Hahn. * *Something is the matter with Jennie,’ I said to Mrs. Hahn, “*for I dreamed of her.” “Idreamed that Jennie came into our room and, placing her hands on Mrs. Hahn'’s head and on mine, said: ‘Good-by, Cecelia, good-by, Maggis the time has come for me to part witn you.’ As she spoke she changed her hand from my head and placed it over my heart, which cansed me such a feeling of oppression and suffocation tnat I could not breathe, and that was what woke me. I knew that sometiing was the maiter with Jennie.”” “‘You have had a nightmare; go to sleep,’ said Mrs. Hahn. I could notsleep, and the dream made such an impression upon me that I determined to see if Jen- nie was all right. When I reached her door I heard ber gmnnin&z, and I could smell the gas thatescaped from the key- hole. “I knocked on the door and called her name, put she did not answer, so [ went to the landlady and we entered the room through the window of an adjoining room, and we found Jennie almost dead. The gasjet was turned only half way round, Jennie was very absent-minded, and I believe she must have got up to light the gas and failing to find a match went back to bed and forgot that the gas wason. I don’t believe in dreams, but this was strange one, for it took me te Jennie's bedside when her life was in great danger.”” 4 The statement made by Mrs. Slow was fully substantiated by Mrs. Hahn, who is much- impressed by the coincidence, if such it can be called. i At 2 late hour last night Miss Ward was sti:l alive, but with little hopes for her recovery. WILL GET ELECTION HEWS The Press Club to Be Connected by a Special Wire on November 3. Communicaticn Afforded With Great Leaders — Western Union’s - New Departure. On Tuesday next, owing to the great in- terest in the pending National election the Press Club will be connected by a special wire and will have an instrument and skillful operator in the rooms. The news will be bulletined as fast as it is received. It isexpected there will bea big crowd there all night, as the member- ship is large, and nearly everybody has a special and in many cases personal in- terest in the outcome. Manager W. J. Martin of the Western Union Company learning that the club desired to get the dispatches generously offered to connect the rooms and put in an operator without any cost whatever. Itis expected that it will be a galanight. Probably the rooms will be filled to their utmost capacity. The service will be so good that direct connections can be had with Chicago, Canton, New York, Lincoln and other cities, and with great men of the parties. *‘The Western Union Company will do differently this year from what it ever did before,’’ said Manager Martin last nigut. “It will not depend on any of the news a: sociations for any of its reports, except San Francisco. It will have a servic: of its own, collecting the news for the a sociations themselves. Elaborate prepara- tions have been made all over the United States. *By 12 o’clock on Tuesday night it will undoubtedly be known who is elected. Minor details about the tickets in different States will follow. 2 “We will also, as we go along, give com- arative votes. For instance, with the grazidenti:fl vote will be given the vote for Harrison and Cleveland in 1892 in different districts and States. “Thus it may be seenata glance whether the Presidential candidate is gaining or losing. The figures of the last National contest are already in every one of our offices, to be used on t ant.’ GHIRARDELLI'S LOSS.

The San Francisco Labor Council met last night at 1159 Mission street. In the absence of President Burns Andrew Furu- seth occupied the chair. A communication was received from the Sheet and Piate G'aziers’ Union, asking that efforts be made to form such a union in this City, as the intent is to make such organization National. The matter was the orga! ng committee. né:rvr::nroeommgnications were received from candidates for office, but on account 'of their,length were simply placed on file. Some of the delegates made vigorous ob- jection to the reception of the communica- tions on the ground that the Labor Conn- cil is not a political body. 5 It was decided that the committee on the case of 8. D. Worden, sentenced to capital punishment for v.mm-wrepking_ should meet next Thuasday evening at 7:30 o'clock. It is, probablé that active measures tending to a commulation of ‘Worden’s sentence to life imprisonment will then be taken. NEW TO-DAY.
