The Supporters Of Gold Drowned the
sounds With Loud Applause.

Rev Thomas Dixon, Jr., was Missed
yesterday morning when he preached
Al the Academy of Music on "The Drift
Toward Anarchy" lie was Kissed by
few and applauded by many when he
assailed the Chicago platform and
William jennings Bryan. Had it not
been for the presence Of six uniformed
policemen, there might have been
h repetition Of the disorder that took
place at the Academy a few weeks
ago.
When the kissing broke out in one
part of the auditorium a policeman
advanced in that direction, and order
was at once restored. At intervals dur
ing the entire discourse, Mr.. Dixon's
remarks were vigorously Kissed.
The text selected was, Therefore
by their fruits ye shall know them. ~
Matthew, vii, 20.
Mr.. Dixon began by saying this cam
paign is one Of the most important we
: have ever had at Is a campaign of
passion and of prejudice. There has
been none like it since the war
thank God so many Of the ministers are
taking n stand from their pulpits for
good government.
DRIFT TOWARD ANARCHY.
"The drift to-day" declared Mr..
Dixon, "is toward anarchy ! do not
want to say that Mr.. Bryan is an anar-
chist, but he reminds me of the boy
who asked his mother, rs il wrong,
mother, to tie tin can TO a dogs tail 2
The mother replied, Yes; and l hope
you did not tic can to a dogs tall
The little fellow replied, No, / did not
do that-I only held the dog. This is
like Bryan He will hold the country
while the anarchists strike the blows.
These remarks brought forth from
several parts Of the aduitoripm Kisses
and mutterings rot" "Shamel" and
"That is false!"
Two policemen, who had been lean-
ing against the rear wall, advanced
along the side aisle, and took up
stand where all could see them. The
kissing soon ceased.
Resuming, Mr.. Dixon said: "The
Democratic platform is a radical de-
parture from all precedent, and is an
hysterical effort to use for party pur-
poses the anarchistic tendencies of our
national life" (FIisses).
Mr.. Dixon eulogiezed Tilden, Lamar,
| Gordon, Cleveland, Fuller, Bayard, and
said they were the old leaders of the
Democracy. Look at the present lead
ers. They are Tillman, Altgeld, Bry-
an and Sheehan.

Not noticing the kissing, Mr.. Dixon
said:-"B Bryan is a den1agogue who IS
