"Billy" Russell Is on hand to-day looking
after his own interests and the proceedings
Of the convention are pretty well Looked
out for by him and bis heutenants. There
is very little Of the Spontaneous voice OF
the people, about this convention; IL
isn't that kind OF q gathering.
All day yesterday the delegates were ar
irving IN groups and watchers and heelers
by the carload. II will be big conven.
tion on the outside, and there Is plenty Of
noise in town. The hotel corridors last
evening were crowded, and the mir was
blue with smoke and clamorous with loud
talking.
One thing is particularly noticeable;
there Is no foolish talk about walk
over" this time; nor are too confident pre-
dictions of success hazarded in private con
versation. All agree that the canvass
must be hotly contested one and II Is
generally admitted that the reaction from
Inst falls feeling against the Mckinley
bill will help the Republicans. :" You
can fool some of the people all the
time, or all Of the people some of the
time; but you can't fool oil the people all
the time And Massachusetts people are
not TO be fooled a second time by the cry Of
higher prices.
From appearances, it will not bc n long
convention. When the will of the few
men who control its action has been regis
