will march to a civic victory no less
memorial than those of war.
/ thank you, gentlemen, for this
distinguished mark Of your conf
dence.

the galleries men stood up and, wav-
ing their hats and handkerchiefs.
cheered again and again. The we
men also took part IN the demon
stration, and waved their fans and
hanikerchiels.
After the first storm Of applause
had worn itself ont, it was again re-

that which characterized the conven-
