OMAHA, June 29.-Delegates from
Illinois, California and Georgia ar
wed today TO attend the national in
dependent convention. &. &. Post OF
the Georgians, says they favor Weaver
for president, and do not like Stewart
of Nevada or Adams OF Colorado. be-
cause something beside free silver is
desired. Mr.. Post expressed the belief
that the third party could carry Georgia
and North Carolina and possibly other
southern states. X. T.. Edwards, an
illinois delegates, gives it out that his
delegation will be enthusiastically for
Gresham, with Weaver as second
choice. He says Stewart is not q
favorite. Troyer of Washington,
Funk OF Oregon and Carl
Brown of California, say their
Delegations are behind them. Ex-
Senator Van Wyck, who will probably
be nominxted for governor OF Nebraska
by the independents, says: "If
Gresham positively refuses to allow the
use of his name, j. b. Weaver of Iowa
will be the nominee of the convention.
Of course we are all for free silver and
will adopt free silver platform.
In that case We will carry Nevada and
other silver states and will be able to
throw the election into the house Of
representatives, which does not ueces-
sarily mean . democratic president, as
We are likely to hold the balance of
power"

STANLEY AND WIFE INsULTED.

LONDON, June 99.-Henry NJ. Stanley
and Mrs. Stanley tried this evening 10
address meeting Of Lambeth electors
in Hawkins hall. The crowd was up
roarious from beginning TO end. But
little that was said by either Of the
speakers was heard. The police seemed
to be powerless to quiet the riotous
dcmonstration, and eventually the
meeting broke up in general
fight, followed by persistent
attempts to assault the candidate and
ms wife. As soon as Mr.. Stanley ap-
peared on the platform it was evident
that trouble was brewing. There were
groans and shuffilng on the outskirts
of the crowd and somebody shouted,
"Three cheers for Gladstone" The
first sentence spoken by Mr.. Stanley
was greeted with derisive laughter.
The disorder grew until at the end
of the first five minutes
Mr.. Staniey's address had become mere
dumb show. A few people in front
were yelling for him to 60 on while the
rest of the audience gr0aned and
shouted Gibcs. Mr.. Stanley turned
and motioned to the chairman who re-
quested the interference of the police.
About fifty constsbles pushed their
way through the hall, push
ing men back TO their seats
and warning the shouters that
further offenses would be punished
with ejectDcnt. A fight Was started
near the platform and another in the
rear o, the hall. Mrs. Stanley became
nervous and embarrassed and lost her
line of thought, and in a response to q
gesture from Mr.. Stanley turned 70 cit
| down. The instant she turned all re-
stralnt on the meeting vanished ana
the crowd became hooting and
| lighting mob. Mr.. Stanley hastily
started with Mrs. stanley for the door,
| and his few supporters in the audience
tired to hurry alter HIM. They had to
f! light their way to the door through
! blows and abuse, most of them coming
out with their hats smashed and their
clothes torn.
