tically the same as those of the Repub-
lican convention. The bunting that
swathed the front of the galleries had
been taken down and some of the flags
and weather beaten. There was not a
picture in the hall. The only counter
felt presentment within the building was
a large bust of Gen. Grant, which faced
the platform across the heads of the
delegates. It occupied the same position
in the Republican convention. The
speakers stand had not been placed on
the platform an hour before the time Of
converting.
The delegates began to struggle in be-
fore 10 o'clock, but spectators were slow
in arriving. When the pit was half
filled there were not 200 people in the
galleries. In this respect the usual or
der of things at conventions of the old
parties was reversed. Among the first
to arrive was the Kansas delegation with
long yellow ribbons on their hearts and
many of them with sunfiowers III their
lapels.
At 1915 o'clock Senator Butler of
North Carolina mounted the platform
and took his seat. About him were "Cy-
clone" Davis of Texas, Secretary Turner
of Washington D. c., and some mem
bers Of the national committee. Three
minutes later Chairman Taubeneck OF
the executive committee took his seat at
Allen and PETER were cheered as they
assembled the stage.
At this time, while every seat on the
floor was taken and there was much ami
nation. the galleries were practically
empty. There were over 1000 delegates
and alternates in the pit, but by lib
eral estimate not over 600 spectators IN
the galleries. Gov. Stone of Missouri,
who is to deliver the address of welcome,
sat among the distinguished guests on
the platform.
At 12:37 Chairman Taubeneck stepped
to the front of the platform to call the
convention to order. At sight of him
tie Illinois delegation, which sat imme
G.ately below the platform, rose up and
cheered.
Mr.. Taubeneck is large, handsome
man with a heavy brown moustache and
rather pallid complexion. Quiet came
with the first rap of the gavel.
Rev. w. L. Smith of the Third Bap-
fist church Of this city delivered the in

erently as he appealed to the throne of
grace to drive out all evil and sectional
ism from deliberations of the convention
and bring in all good.

NO CYCLING IN THE PARK.
POLICE TO KEEP CYCLERs OUT
SIDE OF THE FENCE LINE.

4 New Ordinance Nay he Necessary
to Permit the Use of the DraytOn
and whitaker Street WaIks-Rid-
ing on the CASTOR Street Walk
Prohibited a Bicycle Track
Would settle the Matter.
There is likely TO be some sort OF legis-
ton by the city council, or at least a
construction OF the ordinance in refer
ence 10 the use of bicycles in the park
and on the sidewalks alonside the park,
since the removal Of the fence.
An ordinance, passed in 1877. prohibit
the use of bicycles on any sidewalk or in
any Of the parks or squares. under pen
atty Of $25 for each offense. A subsequent
ordinance, passed in 1884, permitted the
use OF bicycles anywhere IN the park ex-
tension, Notwithstanding the previous or
dinance. A few years ago another Ordi-
nance was passed granting the use of the
sidewalks along the Drayton and Whit
aker street sides of the park proper, out
side Of the iron fence, to bicyclists. This
is the only legislation affecting bicycling.
The ordinance granting the use of the
Drayton and Whitaker street sidewalks
along the park has for some time been
construed TO mean the Castor street side
walk. as well, and it has been used by
common consent, without interference
by the police. The ordinance, however,
does not permit it,
The case before the recorder yesterday
of a small boy who attempted to ride
through the main walk of the park from
the Bull street entrance up to the foun-
tain was dismissed. The recorder viii
bring the matter before the MAYOR to-day
for the purpose Of having a definite con
struction of the ordinance in reference to
the use Of the present sidewalks along the
park on the Drayton and Whitaker street
sides, or what part of the walks, since
the iron fence has been removed, may be
used by bicyclists. AS soon as the mat
ter has been settled the recorder will ask
that the police be instructed to strictly
enforce the ordinances.
At present 1t seems to be the opinion that
only that portion of the sidewalk along the
sides of the park which was outside of
the line where the fence was can be used
The fact that the walk Is broad, however,
and that IL is really an extension of the
walk around the park extension may lead
to the construction that the ordinance only
applies to the walks crossing the park
proper, allowing the use of the entire width
of the walks along the east and west
sides, and the cross walk south of the
park adjoining the park extension for cy-
clists.
There Is no permission granted anywhere
to use the walk on the CASTOR street side
and 1t Will be prohibited at once, until an
ordinance is passed allowing il to be used.
The proposition to build bicycle track
around both the park and park extension
on the outside of the walks which is now
being considered by the park commission,
would settle the matter satisfactorily both
to pedestrians and bicyclists, and would
leave no doubt as to where BICYCLES can
! be lawfully ridden.

WIDE DIFFERENCE N STORMS.
The Distinction between Tornadoes

The weather bureau has sent out circu-

tween the TWO storms is not clearly IN

j. Ia reality a sharp distinction IN The
TWO phenomena, although the terms are
generally used enormously.
