~ desire to say that there will be no
TazZle- dazzle music played by The band
on the occasion Of the reception of Mr..
Bryan at Capitol Park. The program must
consist OF national and patriotic music. y
This was the statement OF Mr.. White
kindt, the treasurer OF the Association Of
Democratic Clubs, which met last night
at the Hotel Myers, where also great
many other things OF interest were done
and said Mr.. Whittekindts statement
was unanimously inuOrsed by the whole
committee. People, therefore, who will
attend the Bryan ratification meeting and
who expect to hear "Grover, Get Your
Cum" the New Bully" or PETER, When
You Die Will You viii Me Your whiskers"
Will be mODstrously disappointed. The
music will therefore be largely classical,
on the order Of William Tell Them That
You Saw Me-
The question OF music occupied the at
tention OF the committee for some time.
The Knights OF Labor were represented
before the body by committee consisting
OF Messrs. Albert j. Xanten. secretary
OF Musical Assembly, No. 430s, X Of L.;
Arthur Keep, F. L. hurry, Henry +. Werres,
G. II. Caldwell and Jacob Hay. Mr..
Xanten and Mr.. Keep spoke for the nights
and the Federation OF Labor. Mr.. Xanten
that they appeared principally to disa buse
the minds OF the central Democratic COM
were labOring under, by reason OF misrep-
RESERVATIONS made to the committee as to
the status Of the Musical Assembly. Mr..
Xanten affirmed that the members of the
Marine Band were members of the Musical
Assembly. X. OF L., ID. A. sc.
MARINE BAND ENGAGED.
Mr.. Keep followed, in which he made
the point direct that as the Democrats OF
the couDtry were expecting thesupport OF or
ganiZed labor they could scarcely afford TO
ignore tue Federation OF Labor and the Dis
trict Assembly, K. or L.. ahd with that he
left the han.
Directly after lie left the committee took
counsel, and after some more discussion
agreed to engage tue Marine Band. The
matter was referred back to tue committee
on music, with the understanding that the
whole committee would indorse what the
subcommittee would do, also with the IN
Outstanding that both bands should be
employed, each to play for three hours.
1t was also carried that, If Weber's band
declined to accept THIS proposition, the
Marine Band alone should be retained,
Tue next matter Of discussion was the
question of issuing tickets. The Interstate
Democratic Association, through its rep
rcseDtatives, offered a resolution for the
printing of 80 GOO tickets and the issuance
Of tue same by means OF the various clubs

was principally to keep out children and
others who would have no direct interest
IN the proceedings except as space filters.
The committee, however. adhered TO its
original plan of first come, first served.
There will, however, be issued about l.
600 tickets, but only for those who Will be
OH the platform. The committee has en-
gagged about 900 Of the seats used 10

MIR. Jobu Boyle, ortDe press committee, re-
ported that arrangements would be made
for about 100 newspaper men, who would
be doing active work.
MADE THEM WARN.
one OF the press committee gave notice
yesterday that he was Republican, and
would act merely as matter OF courtesy
to the central Democratic committee
This statement made some OF the mem
beers very hot, and it was 50 discussed. II
was stated that under the circumstances
the committee could dispense with that
member services, but no action was taken.
1t is sand that an Indignation meeting OF a
part OF the committee was held on this
row DelOre tne uieelius "a lue Seheadi Sphi

Senator Grady OF New York, and Senator
Daniel 1t is understood that Mr.. Grady

The committee will make il point TO
take care of the visiting and local news
paper men. So as TO give some other cities
of the Onion an object lesson. 1t was
stated to the meeting that in some of
the other cities the newspaper men had to
scuffle for themselves, some Of them having
been lost in the shuttle. while others had
been seriously injured by the mobs- 1t
is said that banquet is part OF the
program for the members of the press.
The committee has yet so much to do that
it will meet again tonight, wien probably
the tickets for distribution for those above
enumerated will be ready, and also the
badges to be worn by officers and others.
One OF the members of the committee made
the inquiry as to whether ladies would be
included in the number to have seats on the
platform. This matter VIII probably be
of officially tonight.
One of the rumors last night was that the
committee on the park had determined that
there would he about one thousand reserved
seats in the immediate vicinity OF the
platform Some of the committee denied
it and others knew nothing about it.
