NOMINEES OF THE CONVENTION
wARMorH AND P1NcHBAcK


began to flow in the open doors and pour
up the staircases from the vestibule and the
banquette in front. Every seat within the
inner circle was filed before the hour for
commencement of the second days pro-
ceedings, about which there was no end of
gossip and speculation. The background of
interested spectators lOOmed up thick and
immense about the hour of assem- bling, eau
cusing went on in the corners, men were
drawn out of cool places into hot ones by
the buttonhOle, the leaders of the cOnven-
| ton appeared with fans, of which they made
liberal use, strangers from the country
found welcome in the bosom of their dele
gates, friends of candidates prOmiscuOusly
lObbied all over the floor, and all the signs
fOrebOding lively time during the course
of the day were visible throughout the big
insides of the hall where the convention
met.
1l:20-NO call to order yet The crowd
thickens in the passages between the desks,
and grows denser about the doorway, while
everybody seems to be using fans or light
hats. A rumor stirs: You'd better get
seats; they're going to call to ORDER" pro
| ducing no result, the audience now taxing
the shape of an indiscriminate mass of peo-
pie without form. The delegates begin to
beat their desks as a sign of their impa-
| tience, to clap their hands, and kick their
feet.
