Haven Green and about that platform
for more than an hour before the
nominee arrived from 10, 900 to 900
people had surged 20 and fro. To the
right of the stand the students had con-
eregated, awaiting the arrival OF Mr..
Bryan. At .2:15 o'clock Mr.. Bryan
was driven in carriage through the
crowd 10 the platform. Immediately
all was confusion in the front. The

kinley." The crowd surged to and
fro in front of the stand and doz
en- policemen fought it from the plat
form. There were cheers for the nom
inee. but from the right of the stand
the students repeatedly broke forth
with their yell and for twenty. five
minutes it was impossible for Mr.. Bry
an to make himself heard. Joseph 3.
Sargent, the Democratic nominee fer
Governor, who was to introduce Mr..
Bryan, tried to quiet the yelling mob
in front, but he could not be heard ten
feet away. In vain did Mr.. Bryan
attempt to restore order, but it was
many minutes before anything like
quiet was obtained. Then the crowd
began to surge again and the police to
fight those in front. Women tainted
and several persons were taken from
the crowd overcome by the crush. The
police used their clubs and one OF
their number, mounted on a spirited
horse, forced the animal to the ront
nearly creating panic. Then again
Mr.. Bryan tried to speak, but he was
interrupted by the yells of the students.
This lasted altogether for twenty-five
minutes, and when at last the noise
had subsidized sufficiently for him
to make himself heard by those
Immediately in front, Mr.. Bryan
started to speak. As he proceed

few minutes he would be interrupted
by the frog chorous." Mr.. Bryan
said:
81 am glad that there are students here
because want to say q word to students.
Your college has helped to add tame to your
city, aad those who assembled here are sup
posed to come in order that they may better
cquipp themselves for the duties Of life. l
am glad to talk 10 you students because, my
friends, we have cause which appeals to
students. If the vindicates and corporations
rule the country, then no young man has
fair show unless he is the fIvorite Of cor
poration."
Mr.. Bryan then proceeded to speak
of the right of the people to govern
themselves, but was frequently inter
rupted by yells from the students, fol-
lowed by counter-applause from the
crowd. He continued:
Business men have been told that the
free coinage of silver would ruin them. If
it can ruin them, then, my friends, it will be
bad indeed; because the gold standard has
increased the number of failures among busi-
ness man and every step that has been fol-
lowed--(Y Tells from the students.) have

who earn their own living that hardly
know what language to use to address my
self to those who desire to be known, not rs

wealth which somebody else created. (Great

Mr.. Bryan proceeded for some time
without serious interruption and then

Guard of Connecticut, which had
been playing on the East side Of the
Common, where the company had
been on dress parade during the meet
ing, marched near to the stand and
started a lively patriotic air, complete:
ly drowning his voice. Yale renewed
their cheers. Then, when ne could
get the attention of the crowd, Mr..
Bryan proceeded:
at is hard enough to talk where all the
conditions are favorable, and must ask
you to excuse me from talking any further
in the presence of the noise against which
we have 10 combat to-day
Then S. \. Crandall Of Norwich
proceeded to apologize for the dlstur-
Dance, saying:

impossible for you Bryan to speak to-day,

than Mckinley will represent us in Novem-

have been an honor to their university and
to their country, in Congress, in business
and in every walk Of life" Great ap-
plause.
