already had synopsis of the result
of their deliberations, through the
daily press. 1t was an interesting
convention. Nothing was "cut and
dried" and both platform
and the nominations were
determined after the delegates
arrived upon the scene. There
were some notable exceptions. it is
true, as in the cases of Senator
Hepburn and of Mr.. Brady. Both
the nominee for U. S Senator and
for Governor had been determined
weeks in advance. The renomi.
nation of Judge Ailshie was also q
settled matter.
The first day of the convention
was practically consumed in plat.
form making and in fact the com.
mittee did not report until almost
noon Of the second day. The inter.
vening time was consumed in the
delivery of number of notable
speeches by party leaders, and pre-
liminary business. The principa
