question was not seriously considered. Ma

the meeting: We New Hampshire men

These rumors that the eastern delega tons
may bolt are very foolish. l do not be-

to bolt. 1t is much easier to get out of
the party than It is to get back into it and
eastern democrats will not get out.

Location of the States.

As the delegates entered the hall they
were not greeted by the usual pennants
bearing the names of states, to locate the
seats of delegations. The pennants OBJ
structed the view, and instead of them each
states location was marked by an upright
staff. with the name of the state arranged
reIpendiCularly on each of it's three faces
to be seen from all directions, and yet
not to obstruct the view.
Michigan had drawn the point of vantage
on the front seats Immediately before the
chairman's desk. Back of them came Min
nesota. and then Mississippi, Missouri Ne
braska, New Jersey and others. New York
was to the left and in the rear. 1t was not
a choice location, from which the expected
protests OF the gold forces could be made
effectively.
Massachusetts occupied the front seats to
the right, and Pennsylvania to the left. In
diana was far in the rear. The locations
had been made alphabetically and with
strict impartiality. and Alaska was better
off than New York.
1t was the general feeling that the day

A GOOD IDEA.

The +. G.. & p. railway has
made arrangements with the
weather bureau to furnish them
information of the approach of any
dangerous cold wave as early as
possible, and as the different
trains pass through the country
the engine will give the warning,
which is six long blasts in quick
succession, of five seconds each,
the entire signal consuming 80
seconds, and to be given at every
three miles along the road. This
will warn the truck raiserS of the
cold waves approach, SO that
they may protect their tender
stuff.
