languid with tired -out look upon their
faces, the delegates wandered into the

but the great majority failing to put in an
appearance until long after the hour set
for the opening of the proceedings.
At 2:27 the Gray Club of indianapolis
with their velvet banner on which was
inscribed the name of Indiana's governor,
marched into the hall preceded by band
playing "Auld Lang Syne," and were re-
ceived with great yell from the dele
gates present and the audience. Behind
them came the Hendricks Club OF Indian
apolis, the members OF both clubs -four
ishing long white plumes and chanting q
nondescript air which fitted the words
"Gray, Gray, Isaac p. Gray"
Tsae measure of public interest in the
convention proceedings had sunk from
the mark of sl5 per ticket on the curbs to
f1.50. The fact OF lessened interest was
also told by the many empty chairs in
both galleries.

Comfort to Tammany

John L. Russell of Massac husetts, was a
type O; this class. He had been one of
the foremost of Cleveland's supporters.

wigwam, "and for one shall support
whoever they will name for second
place."

Mr.. Lamb said
"When / was elected as q delegate,
hoped to have the honor and pleasure OF
casting my vote for an honored son OF
Indiana for the presidency Of the United
