an orator in securing the sentiment of the au-

was sympathy existing in the audience with
Mr. Farchild. lest that gentlemen might find
himself without an income. but no tears were
shed at this crisis
Mr. Farchild introduced oscar S. Straus as
permanent chairman. Mr. Straus quoted the IAN

wherein the Mckinley tariff was denounced "as
the eliminating atrOcity Of class legislation. At
