EVERYBODY EVIDENTLY AT SEA

The delegates to the Territorial republic
can convention, which meets In this city
to- morrow, have begun TO arrive. The
Optic speaks for the people OF Las Vegas,
in according to them a warm welcome to
our city, and assures them that differences
of political faith do not enter into the per-
sonal feelings of the citizens Of Las Vegas
toward her guests. The proverbial keys
of the city are turned over to the visitors,
and If they want for anything, TIKI Optic
assures them II Is because they have not
made their desires known. The OPTIC IL
proud Of our business establishments, on
both sides Of the river, aud asks our strang-
er friends to take especial notice Of these.
II their duties or wishes keep them here
over Sunday, they are asked to visit our
hot springs and attend our churches, that
they msy know, In some measure, Of the
many advantages under which the people
up this way are living.
