early forenoon hours. There was room
In the hotels for all of the crowd Of
strangers who had come to the conven-

ferred to hold jubilee in the hotel cor
ridors and in the streets. When morn
ing came the delegates and their friends
began to turn out and at o'clock the
brass bands opened up their campaign
of noise.
At II :45 the Erie county Sheehan del
egation entered the hall headed by q
brass band and earring banner with
Sheehans picture. There was some
cheering, but the enthusiasm was not
marked. Robert Oppenheim, of the
Troy Central labor council, was an
early visitor to the convention hall with
q resolution which he wished to have
adopted by the committee on platform
favoring "such revision Of the present
obnoxious prison as will prevent convict
labor being brought into competition
with honest men and women"

was greeted with applause. Two min
utes later he called the convention to

ferred upon him, and spoke at some
