Some excitement was caused here to-
night by the refusal OF the Market Com
mittec TO allow Governor Cameron 10
speak on Market Square. a city ordinance
requires that permission shall be asked OF
the committee by the political plrtie, TO
speak on Market Square. 4 stand had been
erected without such PERMISSION, and the
stand was ordered down. Permission was
then asked by some OF the Republicans,
and one OF the committee endorsed the Pc
titiOn, but the other two insisted on hiv-
ing the stand removed. which was done.
Governor Cameron became indignant and
declined to speak, except TO say that he
did not hold the Democratic party as
whole responsible for such action.
At a large Democratic meeting tonight
resolutions were passed condcmning the
action Of the committee. aud a delegation
of prominent Democrats called on the Gov
ernor and assured him the party did not
endorse the action Of the committee. They
offered him their hall and invited him to
speak tomorrow.
