Kansas City, NO.. Oct 3o.-rhe
Times (democratic) will tomorrow
morning print specials from Paris and
Fayette. Missouri. which state that
Generals Palmer and Buckner pro-
voked and were In a large measure re-
sponsible for the rlotous disorders az
those places this afternoon. The dis
patch from Paris says: When Col.
Rufus T.. Anderson Of Hannibal came
out upon the rear platform or the ccr
to Introduce Generals Palmer ana
Buckner, his appearance was the Sig
nal for q wild Bryan demonstration
from Q crowd OF democrats who Were
bearing a huge Bryan banner. When
these shouts had somewhat subsided,
General Palmer said: Il am glad to
meet you all, with few exceptions"
This thrust provoked a still greater
demonstration by the Bryan crowd.
who brought their banner closer. Then.
pointing towards a man carrying the
banner, Palmer continued: II see o
sap-headed tool over there with q
Bryan picture. Why doesn't he come
out from behind the picture. so We can
see who he In? I have observed all
who say they are for Bryan have to
20 labeled with their candidates
names. so they will not forget whom
they are for" This sally provoked y
Bryan demonstration that overwhelm-
ed the speaker. and Palmer retired In
anger.
Buckner then appeared and there
was another tremendous shout for
Bryan. As soon as the southerner
could be heard he came back at them
with the following retort: "You can
holler mighty lord for Bryan. but not
one Of you can give a sensible reason
why you are going to vote for him.
Maybe the man who Is screeching Bry-
ans name out there can count as much
as a hundred without making q mis-
| take, but doubt II. also doubt that
he knows the alphabet and I am cer-
tain he can't say II backwards. The
gobble OF a fool Is utterly incompre-
hensible to me. and therefore I'll pay
no further attention to what he may
have to say"
At this juncture someone shouted:
"Hurrah for the Mckinley Aid soci-
ety."
I'm glad some fool has said that"
retorted General Buckner who endeav-
ored to continue his speech. but tha
| crowd surging around the car had BY
| this time become so uproarious that
| the speaker was obliged to wait q long
| time before he could proceed. and
though he spoke only few words aft
| erward. his speech could be heard only
| by a few Of the assemblage.
When the train left Paris the Bryan
| men at that point who were sggrieved
at the language used by the candi-
dates. telegraphed ahead TO Fayetts,
| and these kilograms. according TO the
| Times Fayette correspondent. stirred
up the Fayette democracy almost to
| the fighting point. The result was Q
| demonstration so tumultuos when the
| train arrived at Fayette that the cam
| paigners were unable to make them
selves heard and gave up the contest
to their opponents. by whom they were
| greatly overmatched In lung power.
