Kassas Citt, Mo., Sept. 2C.—Coq
yressman R. T. Van Horn spoke be
fore a large audience last efCning
upon the silver question. The meeting
was under the auspices of then Non
Partisan Bryan , Silver club. Uis
speech, was entirely . non-partisan apd
a carefully prepared exposition of the
principles of the bimetallists. -He did
,BOt say for whom-he. was going to
vote snd did not give any advice to
the audience w
He said'that'William McKinley waa
nominated by the free silver lie pub
licans “Why,” he asked, “did they,
nominate him? , Because they sup
poseO*'tbat' he stood upon the Ohio
platform adopted ' by the convention
which presented hisuame as a candi
date for the nomination.” ,He thep
read from the reports'of that conven- ’
lion to show that its platform' Was a
.broad declaration. in> favor of both
gold and silver. John Sherman pre
sided over this convention, and Col.
' Van Horn Said that this' was for the'
I purpose of showing the* people that
the friends of MeKiplqy; were united i
favor of free silver.
He said therh was such’is McKinley
sentiment in the free ail Ver states that
the gold men became alarmed, and
that they then began to spring favor
ite sons in a vain attempt to beat Mc
Kinley . He said 'that when they
failed In this they put up a eoheme
up m the nominee. and ,hy. .a. conspir
acy put him upon a gold platform. It
wasn’t as trong a gold platform as
I the Republican esntpaiga orators
make out. he said, is Mat it declared
for bimetallism.“lyhep the other na
tions get ready to‘let ut' have it.”
while the campaign speakers are de
. nonneing bimetallism altogether ,■ ,
Finally he csmtidown to a personal
explanation of his own position at the
present time. ’’I im myself in' a
. rather peculiar position as a Repub-.'
lli-aa just: now," ha said. “1 .was.,
elected as the Congressman from,this
district Upon a free Silver platform,
and upon every stbtnp in the district I
pledged the people that l would sups
‘'port, this platform. Now,, the time
I for the expiration of that pledge does

. nineteenth' century." It was adopted
by acclamation.
When Mr. Gladstone arose to speak
he. moved ,tbe following resolution
whtch was received with remarkable
enthusiasm:
“That this meeting trusts that Her
Majesty's ministers 'realizing to the
fullest extent the terrible condition in
iWhich -their fellow Christians are
placed, will do everything possible
to obtain for them full security end
protection, and this meeting assures
Her Majesty’s ministers that they may
rely upon the cordial support of the
citizens of Liverpool iu whatever
Steps they may feel it necessary to
take tor that purpose."
Mr. Gladstone declared his adhesion
to the principles contained in the res
olutions, and said he came here *not
claiming any authority except that of
a citizen of Liverpool.”
Mr. Gladstone then said: "I doubt
If it is an exaggeration to say that it
'was in the sultan’s palace and there
only ..that the inspiration has been
supplied and the policy devised of the
whole series of massacres. When the
sultan carries massacres into his own
capital under the eyes of the ambas
sadors, he appears to have gained the
very acme of what it is possible for
him to da lint the weakness of
diplomacy, I trust, is about to bo
strengthened by the echo of this na
tion’s voice."
Mr. Gladstone then alluded to the
supineness of the ambassadors of the
powers at Constantinople and said:
“I believe that the continued presence
of the ambassadors at Constantinople
has operated as a distinot countenance
to the sultan, who is thus their recog
nized ally. But, while urging the
government to aet, it does not follow
that even for the sake of the great ob
ject in view Great Britain should
transplant Enrope into a state of war.
On the other hand, however, I deny
that England must abandon her own
right to independent judgment and
allow herself to be domineered by the
other powers"
In closing, Mr. Gladstone said: "We
have a just title to threaten Turkey
with coercion that does not in itself
mean war, and I think that the first
step should be the recall of our am
bassador. And it should be followed
by the dismissal of the Turkish am
bassador from London. Such a course
is frequent and would not give the
right of complaint to anybody. When
diplomatic relations are suspended
Engtand should Inform the sultan that
she would consider the means of en
forcing her just and humane demands
I do not believe that Europe will
make war to insure the :< continuance
of maasapres more terrible than ever
recorded in the dismal, deplorable
history of human crime.”
Mr.. Gladstone spoke for about
twenty minutes. He was In good
voice and did not seem fatigued when
he had' finished.
