N. G. c., which had been playing on the
east side of the common. where the
company had been on dress parade dur
ing the meeting. marched nearer to the
stand and started lively patriotic air
completely drowning the voice Of the
nominee. Then, when he could get the
attention Of the crowd, Mr.. Bryan said:
ut is hard enough to talk where all
conditions are favorable, and must
ask you to excuse me from talking any
further in the presence Of the noises
against which we have to combat to-
day."
Then s. A. Crandall of Norwich pro-
ceeded to apologize for the disturbance,
saying: "As to the young men who
have made it impossible for you to speak
today, ask you addressing Mr.. Bryan)
not to believe that they represent Yale
any more than Mckinley will represent
us in November. They have been blow
ing OF their wind as he is blowing off his
wind. Yale has sent out into the world
men, sir, like you, who have been an
honor to their university and to their
country, in congress, in business and in
every walk Of life." (Great applause.)
The meeting then ended. Mr.. Bryan
coughed violently as he was driven to his
hotel and was apparently exhausted
after his efforts.
THE UNSPANKED STUDENTS.
HARTFORD. Conn.,, Sept. 24.-In
speaking of his reception at New Haven
today. Mr.. Bryan said he did not at
tribute 1t to the sober-minded citizens
of New Haven. but to the younger mem
bers Of Yale college. He said he thought
the boys were out for lark and did not
represent the. sentiments Of the citizens
or Of the students of the university.
ADDRESS AT HARTFORD
HARTFORD. Conn.,. Sept. 24.-The
day was brought to a fitting close with
two great meetings in this city today,
both Of which were addressed by Mr..
Bryan. Almost Immediately after din
ner the nominee was driven to Capitol
park, situated on hill in the center of
the city. On the summit stands the
magnificent stone capitol building and
in front of this Mr.. Bryan spoke from
a stand.
Mr.. Bryan began his remarks by say
ing that when he came here he expected
to meet many who were not in sympathy
with him and some who were too inso-
lent even to consider the merits of the
cause he represented. Then, after re-
ferring to the wide difference Of opin-
ion on financial subjects. among them
the so-called "financiers." he said:
Here you have got insurance COM
panies. They are taking an active part
in trying to continue the gold standard.
These companies collect the premiums
paid by the people and then these col
lections are loaned back to the people.
1t is not worth while for these insurance
companies to consider the interests of
the. people who furnish them all the
money they have and pay all the inter-
est they receive. If you say the insur-
ance companies are trying to look after
the interests Of the people who hold
policies, I ask Is 1t not possible that the
men who have sense enough to pick
out good insurance company have
sense enough to know how to vote with
out being instructed by the heads of in
surance companies? (Applause). Re-
member these insurance companies re-
ceive premiums for more than they pay
out on losses and therefore dollar
which grows larger all the time is
of more benefit to the insurance COM
pany than 1t Is to the holder If these
insurance companies presidents think
the people can be deceived by this pre-
tense of unselfishness on their part,
they have a lower opinion of the INTEL
ligence of the people than they ought
to have. If the presidents of these in
surance companies would assume the
responsibility that belongs to them and
consent to pay their just snare OF the
