farthest confines Of the crowd. Democratic
hearts were warmed into enthusiasm.
The council fires did indeed burn brightly.
The braves were in their war paint. and as the
bands played and the rockets and stars few
they made the air culver with their war
whoops. Each division OF the tribe was repre-
sented by its most loyal and most warliks
sons. each division from river to river and
from the Battery to Harlem. And all had

stands whore the spellbinders were to

aid OF a squad OF police. Then the doors
opened wide. and. with war whoop and cheer,
the bravos poured In and poured in. filing
seats. vacant spaces. galleries But what the
hall could swallow up was as nothing to the
thousands that pressed upon the end OF the

least 45OO people. packed as they were last

tho first rush was for the wide gallery And so
closely wedged were the people that a small
ladder mounting steeply to the roof hatchway
was filled with men. hanging by ono arm or
scarcely balancing themselves in imminent
danger OF tumbling down upon the heads
below. Soon the main floor was packed until
no one could get inside the door.
Soon the boxes began to fill. as the wives
and daughters and sons Of the great mon OF
Tammany Hall came In. Some one In almost
every group OF these arrivals was recognized.
and caused q general cheer that started in one
corner and spread out into the vestibule. and
down tho stairway to the street At last
no place remained vacant but tho plat
form. Tho band at tho edge OF the gal.

yell. "Three cheers for Cleveland!" and whom
the cries in tho hall had subsidized ono could
hear. like an echo. the wild roar OF tho multi
tude in tho street below. Senator Hill WAS
cheered most loudly OF all. and Mr.. Gilroy's
