These gentlemen were all for free trade | with the United States, wanted a Terri- torial form of government, desired United ates currency as the standard and anted a loan authorized.

Willlam J. Bryan delivered an address here to-night upon the political questions of the day to an audience which filled Music Hall, the | biggest auditorium in the city est capacity, and which greeted him and his remarks with the greatest enthusiasm. The meeting was held under auspices of the Maryland Democratic As- sociation, one of the free silver wings of | the Democratic party of the State, and was not encouraged in any manner by the regular Democratic organization. In fact, the latter held strictly aloof from particl- pation in the affair. It made no etort to discourage it in any manner, but not one of the Democratic leaders appeared upon plaiform, and an offer of stage tickets was politely declined by the principal members of the Democratic Central Com- mittee. Mr. Bryan came over from Washington in a special car, accompanied by a com- mittee under the leadership of S. S. Field, chairman of the committee on arrange- men Upon reaching this city the party drove to the Eutaw House for dinner, after which they went to Music Hall. At the conclusion of Mr. Bryan's address | he was the guest at a banquet given in his honor by his admirers in this city and vicinity, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS INSTALL THEIR OFFICERS RATHBONE SISTERS CROWNED IN ODD FELLOWS' HALL.
