| reap yesterday the first fruits OF his victory at
the Tammany Fourth OF July celebration. He
received some congratulations on Tuesday.

| pared plans OF the Tammany leaders was so sud
| den that most OF the admirers OF Bryan and
free silver were dazed and didn't recover
| sufficiently from their surprise during the
| day to thank Mr.. HogR. Yesterday morning
they began to go to tho Waldorf Astoria. where
| he lie living. to shake hands with him. Several
| arrived while he was at breakfast. A constant
stream OF visitors entered the hotel during the
| morning More called in the afternoon Dur

Of men as long as he stayed in the corridor.
The general course Of their conversation was
| something like this:
