and stripes, and bunting adorned the

endless profusion. The interior Of

made to hang 10 festcans and graceful
folds from the ceiling. At the front
and above the stage hung very fine
life-sizs portrait Of President William
Mckinley and at the rear picture
of the immortal Lincoln. The plat
form had been provided with report
ers' table and this table, as well 40
those Of the chairman and secretary,
were each adorned with a beautiful
boquet Of flowers: convincing evidence
that the ladies Of Volga were inter
ested In this momentuous event.
Amidst these beautiful and pleasant
surroundings and emblems of patriotic
sentiment, IL is little wonder that
those who attended this convention
became enthused and that republican
ism aud patriotism oyerfowed the
usual bounds and carried on its tide
both delegates and visitors. The
good feeling became so contagious
that all strife was swept away, fac
tional differences were scattered to
the feur winds, and candidates were
for office almost with a
consent aud In a manner
