ALL FOR BRYAN
An Immense Demonstration Caused
BY the Candidate.
Jamestown, N. r., Aug. s1.-Wm. j.
Bryan spoke Saturday in the convention
hall at the Celeron on Lake Chautauqua,
two miles from this city. The determine
ton of twice as many people as the hall
could hold to hear the presidential candl-
date, resulted in crush which would
have been panic had it not Immediately
been controlled. The hall contains seats
for 10000 people but fully 10000 people
were packed into its frail walls fighting
for mere standing room half an hour be-
fore the speechmaking began.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, MIR. and MRS.
Joseph Sibley and two members OF me
local committee pushed their way through
a crush on the platform to the chairs
reserved for them at 8 o'clock. The can
di1ate was Instantly recognized and the
cheer which his entrance kindled was one
more intense and, shrill than any yet
heard. .,f%
When Mr.. Bryan was introduced the
trouble began. The audience climbed
upon chairs to cheer and did not cllmo
down. Mr.. Bryan appealed to the crowd
to be seated and his appeals were entirely
ineffective. He stood for five minutes
making this endeavor. All the time more
people crowded into the doors and climbed
fnn
outside and few policemen to keep them
back. AS viewed from the platform the
whole auditorium was a. struggling mop
while overhead men chung like monkeys
to the rafters. There were 500 people IN
center aisle also and those In front We're
in danger Of being crushed to death. Wo-
men wer shrieking and on the platform
the few ladies sat with white faces. Mrs.
Bryan smiled nervously for it looked as
though the people below would be pushed
onto the stage. Mr. Bryan, Mr.. Sibley
and several committeeman took turns APP
pealing to those in the aisles and the back
of the hall to go out but they could not.
One man in the gallery got hearing and
yelled For Gods sake go out: there will
be a panic; people will be killed. An
other in the pit called out. Don't speak,
Bryan; don't. Go home. This is dam
gerous.''
Mr.. Bryan said that he would not speak
anu started 10 leave. Mi. 0lO4Sy AiAah-
ing the announcement that the meeting
would have to be abandoned unless a
part Of the audience retired. Half dozen
policemen struggled to clear the middle
aisle. Word was finally shouted that Mr.:
Sibley would make an outdoor speech:
Thirty-five minutes after Mr.. Bryan had
made his first attempt to speak he made
the second beginning, the speech provi-
dentially ending without incident
In the crowds outside, however, many
persons were squeezed until they tainted
before MI. Sibley created diversion by
speaking from stand some distance from
the nall. The enthusiasm of the night
apart from these troubles was greater
than Mr. Bryan has seen since the Chi
cago convention. His speech was devoted
to the financial question and in beginning
1t he said that if the people crowded SO
to hear about free silver in the banner
republican county he would not dare to
bring them out in a. democratic county.
On the trip from Hornellsville, where
Mr.. Bryan spoke in the afternoon near
Jamestown, the train passed slowly as
groups of country people gathered to see
it. so by. Stops wer meade at ----------
Olean and Salamanca. At Mr.. Bryan
spoke to 1900 people, most of them men
who had erected and decorated a plat
form beside the track md had band
playing. Mr.. Bryan stood bareheaded
under the blazing sun at Hornellsville
this afternoon and addressed the enor-
nous crowd attending the farmers fair.
There was great applause and much
quick repartae upon the speakers part,
as the audience asked many questions
His answers were vociferously cheered
and especially when he told them he had
come so they might see the leader Of
the so-called anarchists. Mr.. Bryan paid
his respects to the Indiana polls contingent
by saying:
.sLet me give you an evidence Of the
lack of candor. and direcrness which
characterizes our opponents. Ex-secre-
tary Fairchild is quoted as saying: I
do not see how we can do anything else
than put a third ticket in thespresidential
arena. We have practically committed
ourselves to such a course. Hisses.)
