Celebration VIII Sur'cr.
New \ York, April 2i.-The Tammany men
are making arrangements TO go to Kansas
City in force to attend the National con-
vention which meets there on July 4, For
this reason it-is expected there will be a
slim attendance and dearth of promt-
nent democrats at the Tammany hail mass
meeting on the same date. Tammany al
ways has a meeting at the wigwan on the
Fourth OF July. when the Declaration Of
independence is read. and as a rule speak
ers from various parts of the country de-
claim. This Year when the leaders began
to cast abodt for speakers, they found
that practically all prominent democrats
would he al the National convention on
that date. Therefore local orators had
TO be asked. Bulletins from Kansas City
will be posted at the wigwam while the
meeting is in progress.
The Tammany men say that the New
York delegation, although it may be I'M
instructed. will vote for Bryans nominal
ton. 1t has now been decided TO have
five special trains, which are to carry
about roo braves. These trains will leave
this city on July ].
