THE NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Noticeable at This
Popular Play House-The Seating
Capacity Nearly AZ Large as That OF
the hyperion Theater.
The improvements to the Grand opera
house are rapidly nearing completion and
It is now expected that the doors of this |
enlarged and thoroughly renovated play
house viii be thrown open to the public |
about the first of next month. Mr.. Phelps.
the contractor, said yesterday that from
president indications the work on the
building would be completed by septem-
Der 90.
The many patrons of this popular house,
which will be as in the past few years con-
Quoted under tho personal management of
| G.. B. Bunnell, the well known theatrical
caterer, will hardly recognize 1t when it Is
again opened to the public. owing to the
changes which have been made both ex-
ternally and internally. The house has
been almost thoroughly transformed, moth
ing but the outer walls and ceiling remain
ing as they were in days of yore.
The most noticeable improvement con-
sists of the elevation of the roof of the
theater, which has been raised twenty two
feet, thus enlarging the stage room and
affording an opportunity for the construct
ing of new gallery. The stage has been
moved forward, several rows of the front
seats having been removed 80 as to allow
of the enlargement of the stage. The
boxes have also been entirely changed, and
now three tiers of double boxes, somewhat
similar to those in the Hyperion theater,
will be noticed upon entering the audi
forum. The floor of the orchestra has
been raised and the height of the seats
gradually graded from the orchestra to the
rear Of the house. The gallery is brought
much nearer the stage than formerly, and
is curved instead of square.
The seating capacity of the improved
: Grand Opera house Is nearly the same o.
the Hyperion. The Hyperion has seat
ing capacity of 1880. That of the i'm
proved Grand Opera house will be 1900
|. Some idea of the increased size of the
house can be realized from the fact that il
formerly had only 300 seating capacity
!. The center and the interior fittings viii
= be new and of the very latest and i'm
! proved design. The boxes have also beer
fitted up in the most elegant style. Th'
) frescoing of the sidewalk and the interio
will be exceedingly handsome in effect
The old ceiling, the frescoing on which il
. very fine, has been preserved and re
8 touched. The stage and its fittings ant
E appliances have also received ample at
: tention.
No expense has been spared in rebuild
ing and reftting, and nothing has beel
left undone to make it frst-class tneate
in every respect. The class attraction

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING.

Hon. j. G. Wyeor Addressed Large
Crowd ut the Opera House Last Sight.
Hon. j. G. Wysor, Democratic candi-
date for Presidential elector was
greeted by large audience at the
Opera House, and his able discussion of
the issues Of the campaign was listened
to with close attention. E. R. Wood
ward, chairman of tho Democratic ex-
ecutive committee, presided and Ran.
dolph Hicks introduced tho speaker of
the evening.
Mr.. Wysor discussed the tariff from
a constitutional stand point and made
strong argument to show that a tariff
for protection is unconstitutional and a
robbery Of the masses of the people
He reviewed the history OF the Republi-
can party on this issue and declared
that not till 1883 had it ventured to go
before the country with protection as
the primary object Of the tariff.
Then he charged they sold out to
the manufacturers and for campaign
Doodle, the conditions being that the
manufacturers should make their own
tariff schedules.
He cited incidents before the ways
and means committee to show that the
contract had been faithfully carried
out. He declared that the Democratic
platform is in conformity with the con.
stitution and the Democratic party is
the champion of freedom of thought,
freedom of action and freedom of trade
The Republican party, he said, had
ever opposed the constitution and the
fundamental principles of American
liberty He cited McKinleys state
ment at Minneapolis that tho Republi-
can party proposed to raise the revenue
by taxing The products of other coun-
tries. while the Democrats wanted to
tax our owl products. There are three
ways to get money-to earn it by labor,
to receive it as gift.
Mr. Wysor was effs ctive in his discus
sion Of the force bill. He outlined its
provisions and explained how 1T would
operate. He denounced it as a partisan
measure, intended to keep the Republi.
can party in power against the wishes
OF the people. He charged that the Re-
publicans will certainly pass it il given
the power, Notwithstanding their efforts
to dodge the issue. In concluding Mr..
Wysor exorted his hearers to be pa
triotic and organize and work for Dem
ocratic victory. He was literally ap-
plauded at the close OF his speech.
The crowd called for Commemorative
Attorney Hardaway, who respond ed in
brief but stirring speech.

ssnt the Prohibition party had done In
the four years just passed.
He attacked the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties for their attitude to the
liquor traffic. He wanted a school for
the feeble hearted that would make all
the temperance men come to the Prohi-
bition party and a. unit oppose the
united liquor interests. The trouble with
Prohibitionists was that they did not
have the consistency and courage OF the
liquor league.
His voice was for war until the liquor
traffic was killed; then let US have peace.
(Applause and cries of "Amen".)
The old parties were keeping upa feud
thirty years old and he wanted to shake
hands with the south. The loudest APP
plausa of the evening greeted this an
nouncement, the delegates rising In a
mass. Col. Ritter said: "There is
President from Indiana and he has been
renominated. promise IL shall be the
hottest campaign ever seen and give no.
tice we will be in it,"
Col. Ritter's address was received with
great favor and suggestions OF
Ritter for President.
After an address by Mrs. Cougar on the
work of the White Rose League, the con-
vention adjourned until today.
Gen. Bidwell of California, still leads
nomination, though he has lost strength
today, owing to the bringing out OF
Judge Mccullough OF Illinois, as COM
promise candidate.
Judge Mccullough has gained great
deal of ground during the day. The ac-
tion OF the convention in refusing to
permit states to cast votes for delegates
not present cuts into Demorest's Southern
following quite seriously.
