NEW HAVEN, CONN, Sc pt 24-Candi-
date Bryan will probably long remember
his reception to-day by the students of
Yale College. The Democratic standard
bearer addressed a big open-air meeting,
which nearly ended in confusion. AS it
was, Mr.. Bryan gave up attempting to
speak and retired IN disgust.
The movements of the students were
presumably preconcerted. They were dis
tributed through the crowd and seemed to
sing and yell at given signals. When Mr..
Bryan began his speech, there was cheer
and chorus from the students of "Rah,
rah, rah, Yale" He tried to go on, but
the yells made him stop again. A song,
with the refrain "Gold, gold, gold," kept
his words from being heard.
Finally the candidate sat down, and Mr..
Sargent the Democratic candidate for
Governor, Alexander Troup, chairman of
the State Central Committee, ami DR..
Fuller, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this district, made appeals for
order. Their efforts were successful after
Mr.. Bryan had been seated ten minutes,
and at 2:50 he resumed his remarks. But
the derisive yells broke forth again, and
fifteen minutes later the candidate
brought his remarks to close.
Mr.. Bryan spoke from a stand on the
south side of Center Church and when he
entered on ''the green" between $4,000
and 1900 persons were gathered there.
Mr. Bennett, who is chairman of the
town committee, presented Mr.. Bryan,
and as the candidate rose the cheering
was INTERRUPTED by Kisses and yeils from
the Yale men. The appeals from Mr..
Troup and the others had a tenn porary
effect only. ALI through his remarks the
yells continued and Mr.. Bryan cut his
speech short. Altogether he did not
speak more than twenty minutes.
As soon as he concluded A. S. Crandall
of Norwich, candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, stepped forward and sharply criti-
cized the Yale men. He proposed three
cheers for Mr.. Bryan and they were given,
but mingled with Kisses from the Yale
contingent.
Ex-Mayor Sargent then declared the
meeting adjourned and Mr.. Bryan was
taken to the New Haven House in his car
riage. He looked very much fatigued and
refused to shake hands as ne left the
stage. This is Mr.. Bryan's interrupted
speecn:
Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad there are
students here becau>e want TO say word to
students. Your college has helped to add
fame 10 your City, and those who assem- BILE
here are supposed TO come in order that they
might better acquit themselves of the duty Of
life. I am glad TO talk to yous tudents because.
my friends we have cause which appeals to
students. II the syndicates and corporations
rue this country, then no young man has q
fair show unless he is the fayorite of corpor-
alton. [Cheers and .yells for Nc Kinley from
the students.l If the people have right to
govern themselves and deputiZe that right,
then every citizen has fair show and every
man may achieve what he desires. We desire
to leave all the avenues open so that the son
OF the humblest citizen may aspire TO the
highest position within the gift of the people.
[Cheers and yells repeatedly I am not

lege on the proceeds OF nl-gotten gains.

have to comm life where their grand
fathers commenced. [Great cheering.l
My friends, just Government is best for the
great mass of the people. Equal laws and
equal opportunities are best for 90 out of
every 100 of our citizens [yells again re-
every young who wants to make this
Government so good as to deserve the love,
confidence and the support OF every citizen in
the land. We appeal not only TO the students,
we appeal to bust ness men who have been ter
rorized by the financial-what may l call iti

over by financial institutions until in some in
stances it is more dangerous to raise your voice
against the ruling power than il Is in an abso-

The business men have been told that the
free coinage of silver would ruin them. II il
can ruin them with more Tapld1ty than the
gold standard has ruined them then, my
friends it will be bad indeed, because the gold
standard has increased the number of failures
among business men and every step that has
