and the adoption Of the platform, new rules
were reported and adopted for the govern

attraction was the presence of Senator

called to order. His friends instantly rec

he took a seat along the center aisle. He
remained until after the meeting Of the res

tired. Senator c. L. Magee. of Pittsburg,
was conspicuous by his absence. He Is con-
valescing from a severe illness, and by the
advice of his physician he did not attend
the convention. Colonel Quay started this
evening with small party of friends on
trip TO the head of the Restigouche river
in Canada, where he will spend three weeks
hunting moose and fishing for salmon and
trout
