were named and the convention rested
until after dinner. The committee
reports were the first In order of busi-

committee had three contests to con-

Clay counties. The most important
was In Ellis county, where the admin

the adoption of the report of
the Committee on Order Of Busi-

that district delegate elections must
be ratified by the convention. This
would prevent the election Of any del
egate whose ideas were not in accord
with those of the majority Of the State
convention. The report was adopted.
The report of the Resolutions COM

"ReSOl0ed, That the delegates to the

hereby instructed to faithfully carry
out the foregoing coinage resolutions,
both in letter and in spirit, and to de-

Critic Defends His Position in Last
Monday Evenings Paper.

To the Editor Of The Optic.
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, July ST.
There appeared in The OPTIC OF last
evening an article speaking of the in-
justice of publishing q criticism OF the
Casino concert last Sunday and not
doing so OF the Hand concert of Tues
day evening. While probably 1t may
appear unjust to the public the writer
ventures TO say musicians prefer a
criticism to a "write up" which heaps
empty honors upon the heads Of even
those who are very undeserving. The
critic attended both the Casino and
Hand concerts, and knows that he
gave with all the respect and feeling Of
kindness to the participants on the
former occasion mot writing the latter
the public q truthful and unbiased
statement of his opinion OF the perfor.
nance from an artistic standpoint.
1t Is for the good OF the performer as
well as knowledge to the public. for
when we are beyond criticism there Is
no need of further effort, and il we do
not hear, from time to time, the criti-
cisms offered, how are we to know hut
what we are p~erfectp Thus woefully
misleading ourselves.
AS to Mr.. Hand's concert, your
sscommon reporter" did very we'll In
his comment, as tho concert was good
except for the monotony of the orches-
trail numbers caused by two things
prominently noticeable.
First-Placlng all the orchestral
numbers together, instead of dividing
them at least with two numbers or In
tiers persing them with these of the solo
artists; probably caused by the delay
the change of stage setting would have
made.
Second-The absence of enthusiasm,
particularly upon entering into phases
eading to a climax.
The solo work was interesting and
artistic throughout. But as the writer
has not been asked for a "write up" of
the performance, he will conclude by
saying that criticism, meaning a fair,
friendly, unbiased criticism, from a
musical standpoint, without slur or
Singing" is what we want and
what not only the public. but the per-
formers themselves would best appre-
ciate. 1t will assist very materially in
bringing our musical efforts to a high
er standard, and we won't falsely make
a saint of satan. You have started on
the right road. Keep it up.

None But Ayers at the Worlds Pair.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hiblt at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other Sarsapalillas
sought by every means to obtain a
showing Of their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
Of the rule forbidding the entry Of
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision of the Worlds fair authorities
In favor Of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla
is not a patent medicine. It does no;
belong to the list of nostrums. 1t is

a few days ago that the burnt district

reasons for this; one is that sufficient

MAI stepped from the rear of the build
