as temporary chairman of the convention, rose fully to the

speech. He was listened to from the opening words and

voice. He urged the democrats to get together and take
full advantage of what he termed a real opportunity for
success. He pleaded that they frame a strong platform

whole people and so gather back into -ts ranks all the !
strength of the old democracy. By so doing he declared,
there was every chance of winning the election.
The auditorium was packed. Every delegation enter

to be able to get into the bay, a thing
(loot only threa times within tha last
ten yeurs. Not only that but tha pas
sengers were landed close up to the face
of the clncier on a small peninsula
which has n ade its appearance slnca
the 1 mt visit, a peninsula tompossd of
moraiae and resting on ice. The wind
was blowing just right and left a pass
ago through the ica large enough for
the steamer to set in.
Mrs. Mary E. Hart, lacturar on tha
steamer reports that tha excursion
party has a number of notables wltk It
and that an unusual number of cam
eras were represented and the excur
iiod will be well pictured. The party

haa inaugurated as a feature of the latt
day of the trip, just before reaching

In? Ob that account. Et?h person
