Hon. Harvey Myers, one OF ectors OF
the democratic w. j. Bryan for Ken
lucky In his speech on ia The chair
Mr.. Myers said that Secretary JOIN G.. Car
Isle, of all men, could AFFORD to lot that
outrage to him go unnoticcd. The city OF
Covington, OF all cities could not let II pass
without a thunder OF disapprovRl that
would make any future attempt to suppress
free speech impossible in the city of Cow
ington. He continued:
Some say that Secretary Carlisle should
not havo attempted to return to Covngton
to speak, knowing as he did the state OF
feeling against him, but God forbid that
tho day shall ever come in this country
when any man may not be free to address
the public on any subject" Uproarious
cheers)
Mr.. c. p. Slmral presented a series OF
resolutions. In doing so he said that owing
to promises from the mayor and police that
the Offenders shall be ferreted out and
prosecuted, the resolutions omitted a con-
domination OF officials as at first intended.
Yet four days had elapsed since the outrage
and not single arrest had been made.
Mayor Rhireck arose and said that John
Fagin charged with throwing a cigar at
Mr.. Carlisle, was before court today and
his case was pending. He said he had APP
pealed TO the council to offer a reward for
the men that threw the eggs. He said the
police would make arrests IL they could find
the perpetrators.
George II. Thorpe, who polled a big vote
for congress as Carlisle's competitor ten
years ago, arose and said: THE mayor
seems to be after the egg throwers. He
does not recognize the rowdysm of the
gang OF dsturbers in the hall or OF the
great crowd that followed Mr.. Carlisle with
insults on the street, with ten policemen
marching beside them.
Mr.. j. ID. Hearne of Covington said II
the police did not know some OF that crowd
OF disturbers they were not fit for the bust
ness.
EX-L!eutenant Governor J. Bryan made a
merry speech denouncing the outrage as hos
tile to the system Of popular government.
Mr.. Thedore Kallam offered a substitute
which included a announcement OF the inter
ruptions TO w. ]. Bryan at Yale and else
where. They were unanimously voted down
The regular resolutions unanimously
adopted condemn the outrage on Mr.. Carlisle
In unmeasured terms, disclaim the RESPONSE
bility OF Covington for that conduct and call
upon the city government 10 detect and
punish the perpetrators. There waS not a
single no against the resolutions Mayor
Rhineck was severely handled In an inter
change OF words by a citizen in the audi
ence, who charged him and his police with
coming short OF their duty.
