All accounts agree that st. Louis Is ex,

than an exclusively Democratic gathering.
The hall is the north nave of the great ex-
position building. ent of from che rest nt
the structure by temporary partitions; it
stretches all the way irom Thirteenth
street to Fourteenth street, east and
west, and is 900 feet long and 200 feet
wide; but only 2S5x97 Tin the clear as
the architect says. This vast space has
been most skiliully utilized by the com
mittee, and there viii be seats for TO-
persons.
The entrances Tor spectators and dele.
gates win be nc the west end, on Four.
tenth street; for ~ofiisials and reporters at
the east end on Thirteenth street. as the
platform is at that end, The arrangements
for hearing and reporting are tho beat pos
sible, and it is claimed Shat
the acoustic properties OF the hall
are so perfect that all the vast multitude
can hear an ordinary speaker. Beginning
at the east end 81 the room are the seats
behind the chairman, which rise one above
the other to the height OF thirty feet; then
comes the platform proper, for chairman
and officials, and In front Of that. west
ward, is a lower platform with tables and
chairs for 300 reporters. An open space
twenty feet wide extends from this to the
first row OF Delegates. seats. and these
rise two inches to the foot clear back to
the west end Of tho hall. On both sides
OF the hall are lines OF boxes, entered IRON
narrow passages behind them; above these
private boxes are the lows OF seats for
spectators, and above them again the
great galleries. in which the seats rise cir
Gus fashion. The entrances will be few, so
that all but ticket holders can be easily
excluded; hut many exits can DO provided
which can be instantly thrown open, so
that in case OF fire or panic from any
cause the hall can be cleared in a lew min
utes. 1t is estimated that il all available
standing room be utilized, about 13. 500
people can witness the proceedings.
Three aisles run the length OF the hall,
the middle one six feet wide. The com
mittee have had all the supports thor
oughly examined and tested, and their
