outstretched when the boat had

the first since his appearance at Madison
Square Garden. He said:

speeches. L do not expect to be able
to see you again and L take this oppor-

you are taking in the campaign. From
reading some Of the New York papers,
it would seem that there is no silver
sentiment in New York: but the great
