Convention is to be held. was thrown open
to the public to-day. Buffalo Bill. with his
cowboys. Dronchos, Indians and other social
bright lights from the West and his aggre-
cation of rough riders from sundry ends of
creation, had the honor Of drawing the first
crowd in the building, ard they drew one
sufficiently large to prove the building will
accommodate in splendid shape any crowd
that may gather to watch the work of the
politicians. The work of choosing a
presidential nominee by great DO
litical party transcends the antics
of a pack of bucking bronchos in
dignity, Importance and all other things
save one, and that Is drawing power AS
many people may come TO hear the orators
as came tonight TO listen to the You
you of the Indians. but no more; not into
the Coliseum building. 1t will not hold
more. The crowd tonight was tester for
any building and it was able to enter and
leave the place with facility and comfort
which proves that the building is all that
its builders have Claimed for it.
Chairman Harrity, of the Democratic ma
tional committee, watched the Indians, the
buffalo and the bronchos tonight, and in
cidentally took notes concerning the build
ing. He expressed himself as more than
satisfied with it. and said: THE show Is
all right too"
