Then you see the galleries on up. blacks and
whites dropping In until all the huge space IA
filled, and the doorkccpcrs begin To struggle
with the excess Of people who want seats.
Then the large Reporters Gallery becomes
crowded, and the doOrkecpcr shows some con-

who slip In as impostors. Thcn the Nico-Presi-
dent leaves his chair and puts some dummy In

Schurz's policy orl around ncrvously, and look
up at the audience In the gallery, and feel that,
with all their sell-apprcciatinn' the people are

the young fellows around the White House,

appear AT the door, and force their way Ia ON the

others they slip around the space back Of
the Senators chairs or take the seats uf certain

At length the man in the c'p.r calls ip the re-
