AS Gen. Palmer concluded, Gen Buck
ner was introduced. The scene was dra-
matte. The border-line audience gave the
kentuckian a special welcome and the
cheers were intermingled with the rebel
yell. The general discussed the financial
question, but his argument was lost to
2nost of those who tried to follow him,
because of the noise made by hundreds
who were leaving the hall.
Ex-Congressman Isidor Rayner was the
last speaker. His effort was to show that
Mr., Bryan is not democrat, and that he
has no claim whatever TO the support of
the party. Letters and speeches and his
record in the House of Representatives
were handled by Mr.. Rayner to show that
Mr.. Bryan is a populist, that he had al
ways voted for populist candidates, and
that he never would have received the
democratic nomination had it not been
understood that he was TO be the nomi-
nee of the populist convention.
At the conclusion of the meeting an in
formal reception was held at the Mount
Vernon hotel, where Gen. Palmer and
Gen. Buckner are stopping. Only the
members of the committee of 100 and a
few others were invited as it was not de-
sired to keep the venerable candidates up
too late.

POLITICS BRING ON A RIOT.
Parnders Attack a Club aud Twenty
Men Injured.

Anderson, Ind, Sept. 25,A free silver
meeting at Orestes this afternoon broke
up in riot, in which twenty people were
more or less injured, three, 1t is feared,
fatally A parade was one feature and the
line of march was past the Republican
Glass Workers club house. Fifteen or
twenty members were seated on the porch
when the parade passed. Some of the
marchers made illusions to the Mckinley
pictures in the windows. This brought
a retort from those on the porch and q
company of mounted men, followed by a
mob of men on foot, left the ranks and at
tackled the little party. A perfect shower
of boulders and bricks fell on the porch,
hitting the men and crashing through the
weather-boarding and windows. The fusl-
lade was kept up for some time, and
when the riot was finally quelled and The
300 or 400 dispersed, 1t was found that
about twenty men had been injured and
three, John Mckinney y. K Miller ana
Carl Lightfoot, were in a dangerous con
diton. 1t is feared tonight their injuries
VIII prove fatal. The club house is O.
wreck. A number OF arrests were made
among them f. II. Carver, postmaster at

The Students Deny That They Pre-

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 25-Every one
is discussing the Bryan incident Of yes.
terday when the presidential candidate
was prevented by Yale mems noise from
proceeding. There is general denial that
he was stopped from speaking by Yale
men, their claim being that they cheered
for Mckinley and gold incessantly at the
beginning of his speech, compelling Mr.
Bryan to take his seat after he had risen
to speak and then wait five minutes till
the cheering stopped but they state that
when he once began they did not pre-
vent him from continuing.
Much Indignation is felt here at the
reference by Mr. Bryan to Yale students
as young men who came to college TO
spend 'ill-gotten gains"
The Yale faculty assert that no official
notice will be taken of the incident
The Register tonight prints an edi-
torial to prove that yesterdays disturb.
ance was due in a large degree to an in
cendiary speech delivered to an unsympa,
thetic audience. 1t says that the cheers
given him were only such as DIR. Depew
and other notabies have received from
Yale audiences from time to time in the
past. The editorial says that in retiring
Mr.. Bryan threw the blame from his own
shoulders, where it belonged, to the Shout
ders of the Yale men, where it did not
belong.
The naval militia and Company K, First
Regiment, c. N. G., paraded on the green
while the Bryan affair was on. The mill.

that the Bryan speaking would be over

DIXON's DAY GONE.
Tommy white Gets the Best of "a
2O-ROund Fight Called ID raw,


New York, Sept 25-George Dixon, the
champion feather-weight of the world.
fought the hardest battle of his career
when he had finished his twentieth-round-
draw with Tommy White of Chicago to-
night. The colored lad went into the ring
a hot favorite, but before half the battle
was over the 5000 spectators saw that he
was not the Dixon of former battles. At
times he showed some OF his old-time cy-
olon!c dash, but the restless energy and
terrific punching power that made him
famous were not there Dixon had met his
match at last, and although the decision
was a fair one, there were many who
Thought White had the best of the en-
counter The western man lack
ed steam behind his blows
and depended almost entirely on
his left, with which he jabbed Dixon time
and again until his nose and mouth We're
bleeding freely and his left eye badly
puffcd up White was undeniably game
and clever, and the manner in which he
blocked and avoided DiXon's rushes and
swings, gained him the admiration of the
crowd. Although Whites face was un-
marked at the end of the struggle MIS-
body showed the effects of the blows
which Dixon had landed. Had the west
erner possessed more hitting power Dixon
must certainly have gone down before
his leads, which We're landed plentifully
on his jaw during the battle. As 1t was,
White had all the best of the last round,
and smingly jabbed Dixon all around
the ring, landing on the damaged face.
while the colored lad clinched desperately.
