body Of the hall was packed some time before the
hour but the front seats, which had been adorned
during the morning by Bourko Cochran, Richard
Croker and the other Tammany leaders, remained
conspicuously vacant. The impatient delegates
tried 10 keep up their spirits with the aid Of pcn
tul supply OF Reina Victorias, and the band in the
gallery industriousy rehearsed all the merry oper-

Tho inordinately long excise plank was listened TO
with knit brows and in solemn silence, everybody
realizing that it pointed at ticklish condition OF
affairs But its absurd misstatements and bald pia'i
tud.s were evidently fitting expression of their own
shifty and apologize state OF mind, and general
sigh Of relief up when it was found TO contain
nothing TO which the greatest temporizer could take
