NOTES OF THE MEETING.
Bryan came in little late, but did
not say much while there. Joe, Thad,
Mccall, and George were there.
The acoustics of the hall, with so
many street cars running by 1t, and
wagons, and the squeaking fans over
head, are very bad, and it is difficult
for the speaker to hear or be heard.
The meeting started in without
thinking of sergeaDt-at-arms.
The convention hall is too noisy:
The press has, so far, very poor ac-
commodations.
The Ell Paso men are thus far out
generated. Bexar wants the say, and
then will probably give it to Ell Paso.
Expelled the League.
