for the first time. 1t was an audience
out 10 see the show and enjoy it. 1t
had Thought strong arms, husky voices
and many cowbells and horns to rein
force them, and il used all IN applause
on the slightest excuse. At times the
tumult resembled the uproar at Broad
way and A. street on New Years Eve.
An open Democratic convention, or one
seemingly open, was such a novelty
that nobody was going to lose an OPP

Democratic prospects, and equally
glowingly of Mr.. Glynn's public SER

for Governor Mr. Thomas quoted his
eulogy of Sulzer, and said:

chair. his eyes glintlng blankly through
his rimless glasses, without giving
