Gems. Palmer and Buckner we're received
In the Princess theater tonight, which is
the largest in the city by an immense
audience, which In point OF enthusiasm
surpassed anything Of the kind that has
been held there in ,this campaign. The
stage was decorated with an American
flag, in the corner of which was a picture
Of President Cleveland and as the dis
tingulshed speakers entered and took their
seats on the stage, the band played MY
Old Kentucky Home" which was the sig
nal for perfect ovation from the aud
inece.
Gen. Palmer was introduced by Col f.
ID. Huger, president Of the local sound
money club, and was received with tre-
mendous applause. He devoted the great
er part of his address to defining the posi-
ton he took at the time of the Chicago
fire with reference to the sending OF fed
eral troops to Chicago by Gen. Grant. he
having been criticised last night on that
point by one of the speakers at the demo-
cratic mass meeting at the same place.
He said that he had never been in favor
Of federal interference in the affairs OF
the state and that the occasion of 1894
and the great IRE In chicago on Oct. 3,
1871, presented entirely different phases
OF the question He also touched upon
the financial question, but there was
nothing new in the discussion of 1t. He
was frequently interrupted by a number Of
boys and young men in the galleries,
who shouted and yelled at every mem
ton of the name of Bryan, and he was
particularly caustic In his remarks to
these intewupters telling them that they
were disgracing the fair name of Mobile.
Gen. Buckner, upon his Introduction,
was enthusiastically received by his au-
dience He prefaced his address with a
severe excoriation of the men In the gall
lery for having, without provocation and
in an unjust and discourteous manner
interrupted Gen. Palmer, saying that 1t
was a reflection upon the hospitality Of
Mobile.
The generals forcible words silenced
tho lnterrupters completely and not one
sound Of discord was heard during his
speech. The bulk of Gen. Buckner's
speech was devoted to a discussion Of the
financial question, and in explaining what
is the meaning OF the proposed free coin
age of silver at a ratio of 16 to /.
