Upon the mention of the. name OF
Blaine there arose another shout
iof applause, which, spreading rapidly,
soon developed into q greater, louder, more

preceding uproar. A happy innovation
however was made. The visitors, who, in

applause, wrested the flags from the
sides of the gallery, and waved them the en-
