A REAL HARMONY DINNER.
There will be many interesting
features in the convention. One of
these will be a harmony dinner of
greatest proportions. Mr.. Depew's
dinner, as a harmony production
affair, is expected to sink into abso-
lutte insignificance in comparison
with it. This dinner will be eaten
on the night Of the second day of
the convention, and great prepare
tions are being made for it.
1t is to be served on the ground
floor Of the Arcade building. Here
1000 Republican delegates are ex-
pected to sit down and over the
varied courses prepared by the best
cooks which Cleveland can furnish,
and over good American wines, eat,
drink and acquire harmony. The
galleries above the main floor to-
gether are over half a mile in
length, and from 5000 to 10000 Re-
publican men and women will look
down at that happy, harmonizing
affair. The building is to be ap-
propriately decorated with Ameri-
can flags, and with banners bear
ing upon them patriotic and Re-
publican notices. At n end Of
the floor will be the guests raised
table. There will be music by one
of the finest Western bands. All
this is to be done by the citizens of
Cleveland, who appreciate the
selection of that city as the place
for holding the convention.
