but few of the outward manifestations
of an approaching national convention.
The hotel corridors, which usually
swarm with politicians and guests on
the eve of a national convention are
barren and deserted. A few of the

selves as more than satisfied with the
enthusiasm which they say has been
developed in the country and they ex-
pect delegations from AZ states and ter
ritOries to he present. When the move

ed to be a division of sentiment as to
whether a ticket should be placed in the
field.
The Chicago ticket and platform they
regarded as democratic heresy and
their primary object was to accomplish

as a foregone conclusion hat the stand
