There was great applause when Mr.. Cochran
ended his speech. and when it had subsidized the
audience began Immediately to leave the hall
Anxious to avoid apparently. anything in the
shape of ELUSIVE congratulations from the peo-
pie on the platform. Mr.. Cochran. without re-
Stunning his seat made his way with an escort
Of few policeman to the corridor at the back
Of the first gallery, and left the building by a
private door. The excellent arrangements for
The management Of the big audience were CON
tinued to the last. with the result that in less
than ten minutes after the end Of the address
the big hall was desert ID, and in a few minutes
more was in darkness.
After the meeting Mr.. Cochran. accompanied
by Mr. Belmont and several others, went to
UelmOniCO's.
