Kansas City. Oct. 30.-The Times
(dcm.) will tomorrow print specials from
Paris and Fayette, Mo-, which state thai
Generals Palmer and Buckncr provoked
and were in large measure responsible
for the riotous disorders at those places
this afternoon. The dispatch from
Paris, Mo-, says:
When Col. Rufus Il. Anderson of Han
nibal came out on the rear platform OF
the car to introduce Generals Palmer
and Buckncr, his appearance was the
signal for wild Bryan demonstration
from Il crowd of democrats who were
bearing Il huge Bryan banner. When
the shouting had somewhat subsidized
| Gen. Palmer said:
Il am glad to meet all, with few OK
ceptions."
This thrust provoked still greater
demonstration by the Bryan crowd. who
brought their banner closer. Then,
pointing toward Il man carrying the ban
ner. Gen. Palmer continues:
Il see II sap-headcd fool over there
with a Bryan picture. Why does he not
come out from behind the picture so we
can see who he is? | have observed all
through this campaign that the men who
say they are for Bryan have to 90 labeled
with their candidates name so they will
not forget who they are for"
This sally provoked a Bryan demon
stratiOn that overwhelmed the speaker
and Gen. Palmer retired
Gen. Buckner then appeared and then
there was another tremendous shout for
Bryan. As soon as the general could he
heard he came back at them with the
following rctOrt
ia e..
but not one of you can give Il sensible
reason why you are going to vote for
him. Maybe the man who is screeching
Bryan's name out there can count as
much as a hundred without making Il
mistak Ike. but | doubt it. | also doubt
that he knows the alphabet. and | am
certain that he can not say it back
wards. The gable of fool is utterly
incomprehensiblc. and. therefore. I'll
pay no further attention to what he may
have to say"

torted Gen. Buckner, who cndeavored to
continue his speech, but the crowd
surging around the car had by this time
become so uprOarOus that the speaker
was obliged to wait some time before he
could proceed, and he spoke only few
words afterwards.

so tumultous when the train arrived at
Fayette that the campaigners were I'M
able to make themselves heard and gave
up the contest to their opponents. by
whom they were greatly overmatched in
lung power.

HALE AND HALF

Omaha. Neb., Oct. Bottle arrange
ments for the appearance of w. ]. Bry-
an in Omaha next Monday have been
practically decided upon by his managers.
He will speak at half dozen different
halls during the evening. AS a result
of rumors that there would be clash
between the republican paraders and the
silver men, the republicans addressed a
letter to the silver men to meet the re-
publican committee in conference today.
The silver men appeared and resolu-
ton was passed which effectively pro-
hibited any movement south of Farnum
street by the republicans. This gives
one half of the city to the democrats.

CARLISLE AT LOUISVILLE.
A Brilliant Reception Given the Secrc
tary of the Treasury.


Louisville KY. Oct. 2S.-The strong
hold of the Kentucky gold standard dem
ocracy fairly Outdid itself tonight. If
Secretary Carlisle has had cause to doubt
the hospitality of his native state he may
readily have forgotten it in the cor
dialty of his reception tonight. No
larger crowd has turned out here during
the campaign and no more brilliant
gathering has greeted any speaker in
Louisville. The extent of the demon
stration was a surprise to even the most
enthusiastic admirers of the great Ken
tuckian. The meeting was set for 8
p. M, but by $3.50 every one of the seats
of the auditorium had its occupant and
by o'clock the aises, foyers and wings
were all full. The interior of the great
structure had more the appearance of Il
grand opera night than of Il political
demonstration.
The secretary has been in the city for
the past two days preparing his address,
and, in the main, it followed the argu-
mentative lines of his previous speeches
in this state during the present campaign.

STATEMENT BY BRYAN.

81 Al EIMENl ID Dh AN.
Madison. Wis, Oct. 30.-Mr. Bryan
today gave out the following statement:
Il have not attempted to- answer all
the misrepresentation which have been
circulated in this campaign. but in the
closing days | feel it is necessary to call
your attention to charges recently made
by the enemy. find that the republicans
are circulating among Catholic citizens
the charge that am or have been Il men,
Der of the American Protective assOcia-
ton. | also have learned that | have
been accused of being Il member of a So
ciety which. | think. is known as the
Junior Order of American Mechanics.
At the same time | have been accused
in other quarters Of being opposed to the
public school and as having voted against
the teaching of the English language in
the public schools of New Mexico. While
| have attempted to define my discussion
of public issues to the questions raised
by my platform, and have considered the
money question paramount to all others,
| take this opportunity to explain my. po-
Stion on the religious controversy Wnlcn
has been raised.
Il am not, nor have | been a member
of the American Protective association,
or of the Junior Order of American Me-
chanics. or any association hostile to any
religion. While | am a member of the
Presbyterian church, l have always be-
lieved there should be no religious test
applied in the holding of public office.
| am a believer in the public school sys-
TEN. | attended public schools. While
| recognize the rights of parents to send
their children to private schools and col
leges if they so desire. | believe that the
free public school must remain Il part of
our system of government in order that
the means of education shall be within
the reach of every child in the land. The
democratic members of congress voted
against a proposed amendment to the
constitution of New Mexico which COM
PEELED the teaching of the English lam
guage in the public schools not because
the democrats were opposed to public
schools. but because they did not deem
it necessary or wise to require a pledge
from the people of New Mexico which
had not been required of the other terri
tories seeking admission. | trust those
who support the policies set forth in the
democratic platform will not allow them
selves to be alenated from my support
by any affidavit which may be circulated
| by political enemies. | have tried so far
as | could to conduct this campaign in
an open and honorable way, and have in
sisted that those who are with us should
refrain from personal criticism of my op-
ponents and leave the people to pass

Maj. Cummins lived in Austin during
the major portion of the years 1894 and
1895. and during his sojourn here won
many friends by his geniality. He was
one of the most prominent railroad at
torneys in the world, being the personal
adviser of c. p. Huntington, and stands
forth in the business, political and social
world as man of ability, strength and
courtesy. His many warm friends here
will learn with deep regret of his death
and will doubtless join The Statesman in
extending the most heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved wife and sons in their
hour of bereavement.

REPUBLICAN, HEADQUARTERS.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 30.-(Speeial.)-The
departure of John Heinrich. envoy of the
republican national committee, for the
north early this morning was one of the
few incidents that disturbed the hum
drum of routine work about headquarters
today. Gen. j. n. Huston, the other In
dianian assisting Chairman Green in the
management of the campaign in Texas,
will likely remain here till the battle is
over.
Chairman Green and the other man
ayers kept large force of stenographers
busy today taking dictations of final in
structions to party workers in the state.
This work will end tomorrow and all
those about headquarters will await the
election returns with great confidence
that they wont be disappointed.

been in the city several days, returned
home tonight. He will endeavor to hold
all his Galveston friends in line for the
nominees of the party next Tuesday.

MARION Williams INTERVIEWED
He Roasts the Democrats and the Weak
Kneed Populists-The Dallas Grand
Jury Still Working on the Repub-
lican Case.

Dallas, Tex, Oct 3O.-Populst head
quarters will close tomorrow. The bulk
| of the weeks work ended tonight. There
| is some literature to be sent out tOm0r-
row. but it will not fill the mail wagons,
as has the past week. Chairman Brad
ley and Secretary Cureton have laid all
their plans and are now quietly resting
| for the trying ordeal next Tuesday. Both
expect to go to their homes to vote.
Marion Williams of Austin, member
of the plenary committee; T. 2. Gore,
the "blind orator." and ]. B. Osborne,
both populist campaigners, were callers
ut headquarters today.
Mr.. Williams said to Il reporter:
"The Withholding of Tom Watson's
letter by Chairman Butler is the crown
ing insult to the populists. Mr.. Butler
was very prompt to give out Bryans let
ter. but withholds Watson's. The dis
graceful methods that have been used
by democrats and their allies, the weak
kneed populsts. should be resented at
the polls by every true and loyal pOpu-
list who believes in the principles of the
Omaha platform. We can not afford to
allow the gang in this state to again get
control of Texas. They have lost all
hopes of electing Bryan. and while hal
looing Mark Hanna at the populists they
are trading Bryan off for the support of
Bill Mcdonald and his bang for Culber-
son and his gang. Democrats have al
ways said that the populists were set
of fools, and from the way some of our
people are acting, it seems that they were
correct.
1T is a horrible crime for pOpulist to
take republican out behind the house
and trade votes with him, but Il demo-
crat can do it with impunity.
1.-The democrats would fuse with the
hosts of hades to elect CulbersOn. 1t is
for us to throw snowballs at the devil.
We had as well begin to fight him with
fire. If we can elect kearby and our
state ticket, we will save nucleus of
the peoples party around which we can
rally in 1900 and carry on our battle for

The New Fish Law.

A great deal of confusion exists in
the minds of many sportsmen regard
ing the provisions of the fish law
passed by the last legislature. and
numerous conflicting stories are heard
as to what anglers may or may not do
at this season of the year
Many have said that no fish less
than eight inches in length can be
lawfully caught. This isn't true. It
doesn't say word about the length of
any fish except black bass. They
must not be caught less than that
length any time, and must not be
caught at all between Nav Is and
August 1. 1t has been published that
the closed season for bass begins April
/. but the law says May Is. The prin-
cipal provision is that which forbids
the use of any fish-catching device ex-
cept the hook and line. Some think
that this includes set lines. which
isn't true. Fisherman may use set
and trout lines for cat fish all they
please, the same as before.
