only gIadness about it ali was the Joy at being
back in old New-YorI-
As the trains left Albany. II is said. the rank
and file received their orders. They were told
that they were satisfied with the ticket. that
the golden telegram from Chief Judge Parker
was bully good thing" that Tammany was
satisfied in every way. and that Parker would
surely be elected. Most Of them learned their
lesson we'll. and they ratified it off 10 the crowd
Of stay-at-h homes who met them at the station.

Michael Padden. field marshal on land flag
lieutenant at sea 70 Big Tim Sullivan. received
a greeting from the Tammany followers at the
station They urged him 10 tell them all about
getting thrown out Of the convention for yelling
for Cleveland
1t began when the name of Cleveland was
mentioned. got up and started the yelling, and
the boys sure did yell loud. All OF a sudden,
after it seemed we'd been at IL about two hours
though they say thirteen minutes is more Ike
it-Sergeant- alarms Martin came running up
and grabbed me by the arm.
Ny -. Mike he cried. what are you do

Yelling for Grover I stopped long enough
10 reply and then kept on yelling. They put me
out finally, but there was no hard feelings 1
got back in again the next day. Do you know
there was just one thing lacking when we were
yelling. just one little thing that kept the con-
vention from nominating Cleveland? That little
thing was inspiration. and it surely would have
been a inspired act. There Is no use denying
the fact that didn't get what we went out
for and that disappointed. but We'll whoop
it up for Parker just the same OF course, We
think he'll be elected"
