tinguished Visitors

The final arrangement of the tribune les
for the Bryan address on July 9Th occu-
pied the attention of the executive COM
mittee of the Silver Republican club
during a greater part of yesterday.
Seats have been provided for $4,000 peo-
pie and there will be standing room for
$4,000 more.
Reserved seats can be obtained by the
general public now by calling at the ST.
yer Republican headquarters. Any
body can secure them for so cents apiece.
They are choice and are well up in the
arena. Nobody, whoever, who does not
care to expend so cents, or who has not
the amount, is called upon to Go so in or
der to hear Mr.. Bryan. The money is
paid for reserved seat. The purchaser
is shown to it by an usher and he is GER
tain to have it after he has made the reS-
ervation.
This will not prevent any one who
does not care to go to the trouble of Sc
curing a seat in advance from hearing
the great commoner, for there will be
room for every one. 1t is, however, wise
forethought for those who can to take
time by the forelock and get reserved
seat There are plenty of them yet to
be had.
Word was received yesterday from
Senator Stephen M. White announcing
the fact that he will not be able to be
here for the banquet. The senator Will
be compelled to remain in Washington
TO guard the interests of his constitu-
ents. He expresses his deep regret, but
his duty detains him in the east.
The banquet will commence at $50
%. m. The musical program which has
been prepared is extensive and 1t Will
come first.
