before Q o'clock the delegates filed in slowly
and in good order, and were not long IL
occupying their seats. As the Los Angeles

tempt at applause, but it did not rise to the
magnitude of storm.
The Chairman's desk was almost smoth
cred in flowers and trailing smilsx, and the
Secretary's desk was similarly decorated.
Looking from the Chsirmans desk to-
ward the entrance to the chamber the view
was very attractive one. Flags. banner;

and front of the gallery, giving fine effect
to the hall

moments to their fullest capacity.
