with respectful attention and some en-
thusiasm by crowd approaching 5000

the grounds to his own satisfaction and
to the discomfort of many well-meaning
Democrats. Then came delegation

sitions. Sadler replied. "You will have
to take chances with the rest
The Tammany mon were at first in
cliDed to depart from seagirt, but it
was made plain to them that Ssdler did
not ro6ect tho views of the governor
and that they were entirely welcome to
The best seats on the lawn. They re-
mained throughout the ceremonies.
