There was no display, no noise, music or
fireworks. All was rs quiet as though two
ordinary citiZcns were exchanging social
calls. Governor Hendricks had So intended
TO be sure he had passed through Albany
in coming to Saratoga, but this was tho
evening before the committee was To
notify both candidates of their nomina-
tiOn and ho thought 1t best to postpone
his first call on tho head of the ticket
until after tho formal notification had
taken place. As soon rs this was over
Governor Hendricks notified Governor
Cleveland that he would visit him Thurs.
day 70 pay his respects. Ii WAS 50 arraugo'. Z.
