themselves in clover. When news came that an AL
journment had been taken till four O'Clock without

but many had hopes that the event might come of

anticipation the accustomed haUnts of the poll

Robinson would certainly get the nomination, he
would prove an easy man for Cornell to beat.
Crosstown Carey said :--"They II nominate Robin

"But they expect to get that with RoDinson?'
"Not by along shot; nor 5000. Church lays away

Ex-Assemblyman Waehner, in his ponderous
