| reporter OF the HERALD was detached by It's
editor TO seek for Information and TO feel the pub
lie pulse in regard to the anticipated doinqs OF the
delegates. In pursuance OF his duties the reporter
visited different sections OF the city. culling alike

on This understanding the HERALD reporter acted.
He gives his experiences as ne found them, indcat-
ing tirne, place and circumstance.
