The train stopped but a moment, hut in that time Mr. Bryan had a chance to say a few words. The crowd at South Norwalk was about the : same iu size ami tho enthusiasm was as great as it was at Stamford. Mr. Bryan told tho tlu? people he was trying to save his voice, and ho thought that they would agree with him that it needed saving. The most enthusiastic reception of tho day was that accorded hy the citizens of Bridgeport. When the train rolled into the station, a number of carriages were iu waiting. In these Mr. ltryan and party were taken to j Washington I'ark, in the heart of the city, where Mr. llryan spoke to crowd of several thousand. At New Haven Ave hundred students, nssisted by a band of the First llegltueiil of the National Gum.is of Connecticut, bjoko up the address ot William Bryan. A platform had been ereeted on the his- i torieal "New Haven tlreea" and about that platform for more than uu hour before the nominee arrived from 10,000 to 15.000 people hail surged to and fro. To the right of the stand the students Imd congregated, awaiting the arrival of Mr. Bryan. At 2:15 Mr. Bryan was driven in a carriage through the crowd to the platform. Immediately all was confusion in front. The students broke lortli in tiieir college elver of the "Frog Chorus" from Aristophanes, following with three long Yale nine "rahs" for "Yale and MeKinley." The erowd surged to and fro in front'of the stand and a dozen pcltcomen fought it from the platform. There wer** elvers for the nominee, but from the right of tho stand the students rein atedlv broke forth with their yell and for twenty-live minutes it was impossible for Mr. Bryan to make himself heard. Joseph Bargeut, the Democratic nominee for Governor, who was to introduce Mr. Bryan, tried to quiet the yelling mob in front, but he could not "he heard ten feet away, la vain did Mr. Bryan attempt to restore order, but it was many minutes before anything like quiet was obtained. Then the erowd began to surge and the polieeto light those in front. Women fainted and several persons wore taken from the crowd overepme by the crush. The police used their clubs, and one of their member, mounted on a spirited horse, forced the animal in front of'the stand, nearly creating a panic. Then agniu Mr. Bryan tried to speak, but he was interrupted bv the yells of the studeuts. This lasted altogether for twenty-live minutes, and when at last the noise had subsided sufficiently for him to make himself heard by these immediately in front. Mr. | Bryan started to speak. As he proceeded the noise quieted ln.t every few minute- lv would be interrupted by the trog chorus. .Mr. Bryan said: "I am glad that there are students here, lif-iMiisi! 1 \v:mt tn :i wnnl to Y.Mir college has helped to add fame to your <itv, uudtlio.su who assemble here are supp ij-.'d t?> eotae in order that they may better jtiip thuiiuusvca for the duties of life. 1 am triad to talk to you students because. my Irii nd.-. we have a ".viti*1?! students.
