hall was elegantly decorated and it was
universally conceded that there is no other

convention in the State. Over seven hun
dred delegates were in attendance, and
yet there was ample seating room on the
floor of the hall for every delegation.

ing the Convention over 400 delegates
were quartered ut tho The Morton, A. v.
