But Others Were When the Platform
Gave Down at Utica

Utica, N Y, Aug 26.-W. J. Bryan's
eventfuI day ended yesterday with an
accident which narrowly missed being
a disaster.

thousand persons in the square in front

fell to the ground, and although the
presidential candidate escaped injury.
Clinton Beckwith of Herkimer, a mem
Der of the reception committee, had an
ankle sprained; John 7. Teller had leg
broken and several others were badly
bruised and cut, but no one was seri-
ousIy injured
The cracking of timbers and terrified
shrieks of women nearly created a
panic. Mr.. Bryan raised his hand to
quiet the crowd. and after a delay of
ten. minutes. during which the police
and bystanders helped out those who
had gone down in the wreck. he con-
tinued his speech. Overcrowding the
platform caused the accident. The
Utica crowd was nearly as large as
that which heard Mr.. Bryan at Albany
and included several campaign clubs
from Watertown, Herkimer and other
places. Before the accident Mayor Glib
son had introduced Mr.. Bryan. The
candidates speech was as follows:
I have been told that you have in
this town four daily newspapers which
are advocating the gold standard and
I have wondered if this immense audi
ence could gather in a town where there
was not one single silver daily, what
kind of a crowd would we have if those
papers were all on our side (Cries, No

Financiers of the Street.
There was trouble at Fifth and kan

which Louis Charowhas, the Greek.
was one of the principal actors.

a Colorado gold bug and who has been
teaching a class in the Sixth street fin
ancial school. started to instruct a
class of about 100 in front of Charow-
has place.
AS the crowd gathered they began to
crowd close to the fruit stand of the
Greek. Louie does not believe in free
silver but when he saw the mob press
ing closer and closer to his precious
fruit display he was wroth and he did
not wait to inquire whether or not the
author of the trouble was gold or sill

He charged the crowd fiercely, knock
ing the participants in the discussion
right and left.
'Ho, look out for the Creek yelled
some one
He want to sell the banan," cried
someone else.
Let the poor dago alone" said Pease.
This was the signal for an outburst
from CharOwhas, and he said many
unprintable things.

gold They began to crowd around the

HANNA EXPLAINS.
Tells What He Said in His Boston
Interview.

New York. Aug. 26-Marc A Hanna,
speaking of the interview with him in
Boston, said: IF I was quoted cor
rectIy, what I said was that many Re
publicans out west are regarded as
friends of free silver because they are
bimetallists. These men are bimetal-
lists but they will vote for Mckinley
because they are good Republicans.
THE party favors bimetaIlism, but
only by an International agreement
The silver people are claiming every
one as q convert to free silver who is
friendly to the white metal. This is in
correct
Mr.. Hanna was asked if there was
any intention on the part of the Repub-
Iicans to set the tariff matter aside and
make the money question more promi-
nent. He replied in the negative. THE
Republicans, said he, are not going to
drop the tariff"
