Concerning the suspicion that the burn
ing Of the Burns underwear factory at
Worcester Saturday night was due to re-
venge for the action of the proprietors in
suspending the red flag of anarchy with
the picture of William j. Bryan on 1t,
Mr.. Bryan made this statement to rep
resehtative of the Southern Associated
Press- this evening: There Is nothing
thatsI care to say on the subject. 1 do
not believe that any advocate of free sill
verswould do harm to Mr.. Burns or to
his property. While Mr.. Burns action
last Friday was not very courteous, l
paid mo attention to 1t. He had right
to decorate his building as he chose, even
though the decorations might be offensive
to his political opponents and his neigh
bors have a right to criticise his actions
IL they see fit to do so. But If any one
has attempted to injure him or his prop
erty, such person ought to be punished
like any other violator of the law. No
political reason can excuse an attack on
person or property. Our campaign is
campaign of education and no true friend
of the cause will attempt to violate the
law, no matter how bitterly the gold
standard men may assail US or our prln-
cipleS."

day, Mr.. Bryan" called out somebdy in
the crowd.
do not criticise the boys so harshly,"
said Mr.. Bryan. 81 am not inclined to
criticise them as severely as some others
have. I have been a college boy myself
and am inclined to attribute their in
terruption more to youthful exuberance
than to any deliberate intention to in
terfere with free speech. l shall always
be glad to return to New Haven when
circumstances will permit, and l am sure
that whatever may be my subject l will
be able to find persons here who are will
ing to listen even IL they do not agree.
Great applause.) am glad to notice the
growth OF the silver sentiment in New
England"
