appearance in one of the boxes. He was
cheered to the echo, and the delegates
did their best by shouting "Fellows,"
"FellowS," to have him make speech.
The demonstration was continued for
five minutes, but Mr.. Fellows was OBJ
durate and declined to address them.
Finally Chairman Russell brought his
gavel down on his desk, and the cOnven-
