CONVICTION, KY. Oct. 2S.-Secretary
Of the Treasury John G. Carlisle made
the first Of his series OF Kentucky
speeches here last night in ODD Eel
lows hall, which was crowded TO us
utmost capacity. MIR. Carlisle was re.
ceived with most generous and hearty
applause when he appeared on the
Stage, This was followed by vocfer-
GUS cheers for Bryan from about 100
men forming a line in the standing
room at the rear Of the hall. This
continued some time after Secretary
Carlisle began to speak, completely
drowning his voice, so that those near
est him on the stage could not hear his
words. At the same time, crowd oc'
cupied the street and rent the air with
shouts for Bryan. This continued at
frequent intervals during the entire
speaking. Now and then man
on the outside would shout
Carlisle, the traitor" Once, after
Mr.. Carlisle began his speech, he
stopped and begged the turbulent
crowd to leave the hall The dis
turbers did not leave, but they inter-
rupted him afterwari less frequently.
While Secretary carlisle was inter-
rupted continuously during his speech
and eggs were thrown about the nall
four being thrown upon the stage, the
most disorderly scene was at the clo'e
of the meeting, when hoodlums gath
cred about the exit with insulting re-
marks There we're many noisy peo-
ple on the street, and in such spirit as
to threaten violence, as well as insult,
| to the secretary. The authorities had
| not taken radical action to prevent dis
turbance up to this time, but after the
| meeting the mayor and chief Of police
promptly furnished detachment OF
20 police, who safely and quietly es-
corted Secretary Carlisle to the resi-
dence Of Mr. Frank Helm. Secretary
Carlisle will speak at Bowling Green
tomorrow night and at other points
in Kentucky next week, when II is
feared he will encounter disturbances
