A RIOT CALL SENT IN.
It Required Two Wagon Loads of Police to
 Quell the Pops.


 Chicago, H., June IA meeting of the county central committee of the peoples party ended in riot tonight, and two wagon loads of police were sent to quell the disturbance.
 It is alleged that pr. Taylor, chairman of the committee, has been running the affairs of the party to suit his own ends. Taylor, his opponents claim, called meeting tonight of the central committee for the purpose of appointing delegates to the national convention in St., Louis, and notified only his friends. The other members of the committee heard of the affair and with endorsements went to the hall and were organizing for busi- ness when Taylor and his friends ar rived. William Hogan was in the chair and several motions were put, upon which the Taylor crowd voted. This, the Hogan side claimed, legalized their meeting. A row followed and a riot call was sent in. Fighting was just com- mencing in earnest when the police ar rived. The entire crowd was elected from the hall. Two separate meetings will now be held, and both will elect delegates to St. Louis.
