correspondents said that they used
the two forms with a difference of

tion most generally recognized being
that grey donates a more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. Others con.
sidered the difference to be that grav

group held that grey has more of

The conclusion was obvious and we
fell away from our point OF vantage

with scared and troubled faces. Our

like a martyr. One glimpse was
enough. Then she turned and silently
led the way to the stairs.

help thinking that If anything in the

would find 1t in those dear arms.

Strange to say, Terhune gave no

conference in which James H. Valley
and representatives of Eugene n.
Foss agreed to withdraw from the
contest to prevent bitterness and to

the party at the polls.
The special committee is to select

convention adjourned at 1880 O'Clock
The convention broke out in wild
tumult at the conclusion of the an
nouncement of an indecisive second
ballot shortly after midnight this
morning. Delegates swarmed up
over the press seats and upon the
| platform.
Chairman John Thayer called for
the police and 20 officers struggled
through the mass of delegates to the
stage. The officers succeeded after
some difficulty. in pushing the ardent
| delegates back upon the floor of the
convention hall. Martin Lomansey
the Boston ward leader and a Foss
supporter, and Congressman John A
Keliher a Hamlin hacker, chung ten

speak.
A second effort by the officers Ia
clear the stage resulted in several
fights. Fists were used freely and
at 70 % half dozen mix-ups were N
progress, with the chairman unable
to secure order or entertain any Of
the motions which were being yelled
from various parts of the hall.
At 1880 a recess OF 90 minute:
was declared by the chairman
Scarcely any one left the hall. In
fact the melee was at its height ant

but little effect on the convention.
Delegates were pounding eacf
other in and about the press boxes
and the newspaper men were driver
from their section. The officers ex
perienced difficulty in separating thu
combatants and reserves were called
in.
The platform adopted calls for re
