No sooner did the oheertng die away ill one section of tbo hall than it broke forth in ?mother seel ion, and it was not until the chair - man had repeatedly rapped for silenco that the audience romaiuod quiet long enough for Mr, Purdy to read this telegram from Senator Tlllman: "I consider the deinoor itic organize tion that nominated Hour*, Goor^o,the only democratic organization in New York city. If you will perfect your organization throughout New York and light for the rogulur democracy, I as a member of the national commit too, will vote and work for y our reeog tion. It is time to have a democratic party, which is democratic, and not for boodle only. In New York city, Van Wyek stands for Tammany and tho ollicor; Georgo for tho democracy and tho people" Ii, It.

Any talk of a Stiite Historian is ridiculous. We want the records completed, if they can be, and there an end. Any intelligent lad can complete tho rolls.
