acted considerable bust ess.
The finance committee met In the gov

mitteemsn will afford sufficient money to
pay all the expenses of the evening.
The executive committee met In the
mayors private office. Ex-Congressman
Ferry Belmon6 presided. Inc chlof work
done was the awarding of the seats In the
garden. 1t has been found necessary to in
crease the number of reserved seats for the
| reason that a great many applications have
been made for reserved seats by prominent
democrats, none OF whom the committee
want TO refuse. There have been 4, 900 ap-
plioations for platform tickets alone. 1t
was decided that the reception
committee should meet the notif-
cation committee Wednesday morning and
arrange for the reception and escorting the
candidates to the garden. There will be
but four speeches. Congressman Wilson
will make the Motif cation speech to Mr..
Cleveland, who will reply. Ex-Lieut. Gov
Stephen M. White of California will notify
Mr.. Stevenson, who will reply. Immedi-
ately after the reception at the garden
Messrs. Cleveland and Stevenson will be
| driven to the Manhattan Club. The recep-
| tion will be as democratic as the notification
ceremonies In the garden.
