With excursIonists from the counties.
They poured In from every direction
AT noon the railways estimated that
there had been Il, 900 arrivals during the:
night and the day, or the thirty excur-
sion trains reported in, -
The Bushnell badges were in the ma
jority as the Hanna excursions were not
booked, to arrive till after noon in time
FOR the mass convention. During the
forenconSthe state; house was surround
ed by crowds yelling for Bushnell. As
itwas Impossible for. the crowds to get
inside the capitol building, the governor
was called out into the grounds. where
lie addressed the multitude and received
in review one delegation after another.
The first delegation to which the gov
ernor responded was from his home at
Springfield, and it included hundreds of
woriirgmem from Bushnell's shops,
bearing written greetings OF confidence
In him. These demonstrations con-
t!hued Till noon. when Governor Bush
nell was escorted to the rotundaJ OF the
state house, where the decorations In,
floral designs and bunting were more
elaborate than ever before. TIE men,.
bers OF the supreme court. legislature
and all other .state officers were pro-
vidcd with reserved seats and the
crowds occupied all the space in win
dows, galleries and everywhere. while

The inaugural address OF Governor
Bushnell was short anG contained no

can be doneto make the general respect

enduring. 1t Is certain that our aim

matters committed to our, charge to
