| he called the assembly to order
Nearly every delegate at that hour was
in his seat or at least on the floor of
the hall. arguing with his neighbor, while
the galleries We're filled with mass OF
people that would have elected the envy
Of any Snowman.
| Bang went the gavel but its effect had
no more impression on the moving mass
than the drop Of a toothpick
Again and again rang out the sharp
rap, rap, rap of the little mallet, its
persuasive powers only being given at
! tention when coupled with a final ap-
! peal, For goodness sake, gentlemen be
| seated. We must get to work.

calm that the gavel hid caused, and as

demanding an appeal.
From the First. the Eighth and Ninth
wards came vigorous kicks, while the
galleries and delegates on the floor join

Protests were heard, some hlkening
! their selection by a Democratic eonven-
ton to an Endorsement of Mckinley, but
/ Fred l.. McGhee, of the Eighth, came to
| the rescue, and in brief recital of the
good qualities of the two men remarked
| that they did not say their prayers be-
lieving one thing, and then when they ate
Their meals practiced another His re-
