utes it was impossible for Mr.. Bryan
to make himself heard.
Joseph b. Sargent, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, who was to in
troduce Mr.. Bryan, tried to quiet the
yelling mob in front, but he could not
be heard ten feet away. In vain did
Mr.. Bryan attempt to restore order,
but it was many minutes before any
thing like quiet was obtained.
Then the crowd began to surge and
the police to fight those in front. WO-
men tainted and several persons were
taken from the crowd overcome by the
crush. The police used their clubs,
and one of their member, mounted on
spirited horse, forced the animal in
front of the stand, nearly creating a
panic. Then Mr.. Bryan tried to speak,
but he was Interrupted by the yells of
the students. This lasted altogether
for twenty five minutes, and when at
last the noise had subsidized sufficiently
for him to make himself heard by
those Immediately in front, Mr.. Bryan
started to speak. AS he proceeded
the noise quoted but every few min
utes he would be interrupted by the
frog chorus.
Mr.. Bryan proceeded for some time
without serious interruption and then
band of the first Regiment National
Guard of Connecticut, which had been
playing On the east side of the Com
mon, where the company had been on
dress parade during the meeting,
marched nearer the stand and started
a lively air, completely drowning his
voice. Yale men renewed their cheers.
Then, when he could get the attention
of the crowd, Mr.. Bryan proceeded:
cit is hard enough to talk where all
the conditions are favorable, and 1
must ask you to excuse me from talk
ing any further in the presence Of the
noises against which we have to COM
bat to-day"
New HAVEN, Con-, Sept. 25.-The
Yale News today has the following
editorial commenting on the distur-
bance at the Bryan meeting here yes
terday:
"The News must deprecate the
spirit of 'hoarse play'-this is the true
light in which the animus must be re-
garded-which prompted the demon
stration at yesterdays political meet
ing. The action of the Yale men pres
ent plainly showed a lack of respect
for the dignity of the speaker, as a
public man, everything political
aside; and thoughtful and fair-mind-
ed consideration will unanimously
condemn and regret the exhibition,
irrespective of party afiiliatiOn."
