tastes. The members of the Cook County Dem
ocratic Club, who i'll addition to the ever
present white tile, wear blue yacht cloth suits,
orange silk gloves and light canes, were kept
busy all day receiving kindred organizations,
and escorting them TO their several head
quarters. Among the first to arrive were the
Americus and SamuelJ. Randall Clubs of Phila-
delphia, the former atttred IN a brownlsh-grey
uniform. with cutaway coats, and headed by
the famous Waccacoe band; the latter wearing
silken badges conspicuouSly lettered in gold
bullion with the name of their fayorite. Later
in the day the New York County Democracy
came in in body, undistinguShed by uniform,
except as to hats. About O'Clock the Me

ner, on which a portrait of the

Cook County Democratic Club and the Ameri-
Gus and Samuel J. Randall Clubs headed by the
New York Seventh Regiment Band, they were
largely conspicuous for their linen busters and
portmanteaus. The coming of this famous or
