! view:
| Mr. w. T. Jenney one of the sound
money delegates from Massachusetts,

turned. Wednesday. with a firm belief

| people view the result OF the election
| with a good deal more equanimity and
| confidence than the people of the East.
Mr.. Jenney was feeling very WELL In
deed. over the result of the Indiana
polls conference, and the intense heat
had not affected him injuronsly on his
return trip so that his journey was d
very comfortable one
A reporter of the Boston Journal
found Mr.. Jenney at his pretty home
III Medford. sitting out on the portico
where the east winds. or what passed
for east winds, famed his brow and
made his rest cool and serene.
The conference had been a most
pleasant experience Mr. Jenney could
not say too much for the reception the
delegates We're given in indianapolis.
They We're given cards to the clubs Of
the city. We're driven about the city
everywhere, were looked after at the
hotels To be sure that they had every
thing needful for comfort. and. in a
word, were given a royal reception TO
the city.
