The Suns special from Albany SAYS thhl
Richard Croker. Tammany's chlet, got more
honest and hearty applause IN the convention
than any plank in the platform or any OF the
speakers. and that this WAS so noticeable as
70 surprise every one. The convention gave
Boss Mclaughlin no applause at all. Inc
Suns correspondent thinks this means the
acknowledgment OF Tammany Hall as the
only Democratic organization IN New lork
city. He also saws the convention was no
ticeahle for the obscurity of its members,
and that every reference 10 tariff reform was
greeted with great applause. but that Mr..
Cleyeland's name WAS wholly lgnored. The
whole time occupied by the convention was
from 1885 to la ?. NJ. and from 406 to 5:31,
the quickest time Oh record.
