en- mass and cheered the Kentucky
delegation as the. latter sang. my
Old Kentucky Home" The tempo
rary chairman, Major Kinkead, bow
ed his appreciation to the Kentucky
delegation and in speech paid elo-
quent tribute to the State and to
Henry Clay's great fight for the rec
IGNITION of South American repub-
lies.
The Kentucky delegation was in
great favor with the convention OF
5000 cheering Americans attending
what was considered the most re-
markable unique convention ever
held in Chicago.
There was a great demonstration
as Judge Golf, of New York, IS
years old, introduced Captain john
A. Geary, of Lexington, as lone OF
the old Guard" and Captain Geary's
response was one of the happiest ad-
dresses of the Monday evening ses-
sion. l
The convention adjourned at the
conclusion of an appeal by Miss Mac
Swiney, which furnished the climax
for the historic session.

some who do is in evidence by the
fact that someone has scattered

for the violator of the law referred
