When Depew sought to close there were
demands to Go on and yielding to the
clamor he proceeded, dealing with the
glories of the party His sarcastic refer
ences to the Kansas City convention and

showering congratulations upon him.
He stood in the middle aisle, the stern
look of recent days having given way to
