AT THE HALL.
When the first Of the column reached
Tomlinson Hall il was nearly 9 o'clock and
a big crowd was already waiting. The
decorations OF the hall were very attrac-
tive and appropriate. Three great portraits
OF william Mckinley looked down from
above the stage, and there was plenty Of
national colors. the insignia Of patriotism
and loyalty and the emblem of the Repub-
bear party. The audience that filled the
hall was a most enthusiastic one The
women were aroused as well as the men.
They cheered the commercial travellers
when that organization filed or TO the
stage: they hurrahed and clapped their
hands and shook their handkerchiefs when
the different organizations from the manu-
featuring establishments filed into the hall.
Honest labor never received more homage
at a gathering OF people than II did last
night. When the drum corps from the F..
C.. Atkins establishment entered the hall
the audience stood on chairs and gave
.CnecT aTreT cnceE- me same deEnDDSIfd-
tion occurred when the Iron League came
IL. and. I'm fact. whenever an organization
was recognized IL was greeted with I'M
stinted applause.
The great audience was in a happy.
cheering mood. The people stood up and
apDlauded everything that stood for Mo
Einley and prosperity. One of the bands
stationed in the TOP gallery struck up the
air. "There'l be a hot time" etc. and in
sJantly the people were singing. When the
hand played the 'Star-spangled Banner
there was a mighty cheer. and when the
familiar strains OF America" fioated over
the hall there was more applause. 1t was
a great. goCd-natured. loyal Republican
audience.
SOME GOOD MUSIC.
After the band had concluded its pro-
gramme there was excellent music by the
Marion Glee Ciub and the Nordyke &
Marmon Clubs double quartet. The differ
cnt selections were well rendered and the
audience appreciated them The presiding
officer was Harry Haldeman, president of
the Commercial Travellers Republican
Club.
Ii was after 9 o'clock when he arose to
Introduce Senator Deliver. In presenting
the distinguished speaker to the audience
Chairman HsiGer1an spoke briefly of some
OF the things IN this caGlpaign that relate
directly to the commercial traveller. He
declared that there are more men on the
C00 S@AAh5 EGOLc lO-udg lHdu ever Uc-
fore. There is not a merchant in this
country who Is not an expansionist, ne
said, and when the merchant has an OPP
portunity to employ an expert salesman
he goes into some new territory and puts
the man to work. Thus the army of trav-
cling statesmen has been increased.
I'm a local way. the chairman said,
you Will not find a single manufacturer
or Jobber who has not as many men on the
road as he had four years ago. and there
are very few houses that have not in
creased their force. | know OF one Job
Der in Indianapolis who has 400 per cent.
more men on the road than he had four
years ago. In concluding his remarks
the chairman said: Now with all these
facts before you do you believe that the
commercial salesman is dissatisfied? No,
my friends, ne Is not. but you will run into
the occasional commercial traveller now
note the distinction between salesman and
traveler) who Is kicking. Run down this
mans record and you will find him a coun-
terfeit. You Will find he has never held a
position with any one house for any length
or time. And instead of recognizing his
own Incompetence he holds the admins
tratiOn responsible"
