held an executive session and discussed af-
fairs pertaining to the campaign. Repub-
lican candidates from five of the congress
sional districts were present al this meet
Ing, besides several party leaders.
1t is thought that the question of the two
factions in the fourth and second districts
and the divided condition of affairs there
vas carefully considered at the meeting,
for that night a conference was held in
Petersburg at which were present several
who had been at the Richmond meeting
and the matter of the contest in the fourth
district was brought up. 1t was announced
that Colonel Lamb, who had been north to
confer with representative of the national
republican committee in regard to the with
drawal of Gee in the fourth district and
Dyer in the second district had not effect
ed any settlement of the trouble, and mas
much as the national committee had not
passed upon the matter, Mr. Gee in the in
terests of Mckinley and Hobart and har-
mony in the fourth district, withdrew and
left Thorp the only republican candidate
for Congress from the fourth district. As
in the second district and republican affairs
there are rather disintegrated. 1t is
tho ught that the state committee will try to
take some action in this matter at an
early date il one Of the candidates does not
withdraw.

Of the lieutenant governor of Virginia, and

The thirteenth Nebraska state prohibition
convention, which met at Lincoln this week.
was composed of abom hundred dele
gates. This is the faction of the prohibi-
ton party which beifSyes that all other
planks in the national brplatform save the
one relating to prohibition should be dis
carded. The new national party. whose
state convention was held at Lincoln Au-
gust 5. believes In retaihins all the planks
of the old prohibition platform and adding
more thereto. This faction supports the
candidacy of c. E. Bentley of Lincoln for
President. A controversy between these
two factions with respect to the designa-
lions on the official ballot is likely to be
made. and the presumption is that the ac-

THRONGED TO HEAR BRYAN,
Nearly n Panic Caused by Thousnnds
CrOwdinS on Chauta aqua Lake.


CrOwdfng on Chautauqua Lake,
William ]. Bryan spoke Saturday night
in the Convention Hall at Celeron, on Lake
Chautauqua. two miles from Jamestown,
N. Y. The determination of twice as many
people as the hall could hold to hear the
presidential candidate resulted in a crush,
which would have ended in great loss of
life If the panic which for an hour seemed
imminent had not been prevented
Mr.. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan, Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph c. Sibley and members of the local
committee pushed their way through a
crush to the chairs reserved for them at O
O'Clock. The candidate was instantly recog-
nized, and the cheer which his entrance
kindled was one more intense and shrtll
than any which he had heard since the
Chicago convention.
Fully 1000 persons were in the hall.
viewed from the platform, the whole audi
forum was struggling mob while over
head men chung like monkeys to the ra ftera
1here were 5OO persons in the center aisle,
anu those In front were in danger of being
crushed to death. Women were shriekinr'
and on the platform the few ladies there
sat with white faces. Mr.. Bryan Mr. Sib-
ley and several committeeman took turns
back or the hall to go out, but they could
not, although many tried. One man called
out: Don't speak, Bryan; don't Go home.
This is dangerous
MIR. Bryan said he would not sneak. and
started to leave, Mr.. Sibley making the an
nouncement that the meeting would have
to be abandoned unless a part of the audi
ence could be driven out Half a dozen
policemen struggled to clear the middle
aisle. Word was finally shouted that Mr..
SlDiey would make aAsf outdoor speech
1hirty-hve minutes after Mr. BRYAN had
nrst attempted to speak, he made the sec
ono one beginning. and th0speeeh was finished
without accident.
The enthusiasm of tue night, apart from
It's troubles. was greater than Mr.. BRYAN

speech was devoted to- the financial una..
tlor, and In beginning II he said that If the
people crowded so to hear about free silver

not dare to bring them out In a democrats

The address delivered by Mr.. BRYAN was
largely on the lines of his speech at Hor-
