final protest before they take their
departure from the party with which
they have so long been allied. 1t is
not probable that there will be any

an extended one. If Senator Lodge
can have his way, no bitterness viii be
engenedered
The general belief is that the con-
yention will adjourn tomorrow. The
prevailing opinion continues that Gov
Morton Will be the mate of Mckinley
on the ticket. although the friends of
Hobart and Evans still insist other

shoulder, and pouring some conf.

The convention was in comparative
