greatest gatherings of people which ever
greeted public man in this city thronged
the Academy of Music tonight to listen
to Governor Mckinley, as the guest OF
the Manufacturers Club, speak upon the
issues of the campaign. Mckinley spoke
for an hour and a half, mainly upon

BROOKLYN DEMOCRATS.
New YORK, Sept. 23.-At the Cleve-
land demonstration held at the Academy
of Music, Brooklyn, tonight under the
auspices of the observation-disclosures
Club, eX-Secretary of State Bayard was
the speaker of the evening, and was lis
tened to by large and attentive audience.
He criticised President Harrison's letter
of acceptance, and severely scored the
Mckinley doctrine of protection. Touch
ing on the Homestead difficulty, Bayard
said one effect that must survive the
dreadful collision is that the highest
wages paid in America are paid in en-
Payments where there is no protection at
all.
Hon. John D. Herman, prominent
anti-snapper, also spoke. In conclusion,
he said, referring TO the anti-snappers:
1--WE went to Chicago to settle our differ
ences, and settled them, and now propose
to unite in supreme effort the settle the
Republican party"
WEAVER IN GEORGIA.
ATLANTA (Ga.l, General Weaver to-
night refused to address an audience of
5000 people, which had gathered at the
State Capitol to hear him. He declared
that there was no such thing as free
speech in the South, Notwithstanding the
fact that the audience had assured him a
respectful hearing.
General Weaver tonight sent lengthy
letter to Chairman Irwin of the State
Committee of the Peoples party in re-
gard TO his treatment in the South. He
says be finds the spirit of organized
rowdyism at some points visited in
Georgia so great as to render it unadvis-
able to attempt to fill engagements at
points not already reached. His personal
indignity was suppressed at Way Cross
only by careful management. AT Albany
bowling mob refused respectful hearing
At Macon the conduct of the mob was
simply disgraceful; rotten eggs were
thrown prior to the introduction of the
speaker, one of which struck Mrs,
repeatedly, and the turbulent crowd
continued to howl and boot until past
midnight. At Atlanta a similar crowd
of rowdies gathered at the point of
the meeting, bent on tumult and disorder
Learning this, Mrs. Lease and Weaver
refused to appear. Weaver says he is
convinced that similar treatment awaits
them at points not visited, and declines
to- meet such appointments, He calls
special attention 10 the fact that the dis
order was almost exclusively confined to
young roughs, who infest the towns and
who were melted to violence by persons
who keep in the background. 1t is es-
pecially worthy OF note that the dis
orderly conduct does not proceed from
ex-Confederate soldiers. General Weaver
says the police forces at disorderly places
made no effort, as far as known, to pre-
serve good order, and in some instances
gave open countenance to the tumult.
