more magnitude than a county convsn-
ton, The thing itself is colossal. After
the parade Of Monday evening 1 had
thought | was prepared for almost
convention hall, the beauty OF the dec
oraticns and the comparative ease
with which the immense tiiropg was
handled seemed almost beyond CON-
!prehension. Never was, there such a
convention hall of such large proper
tions, and so well arranged is the
seating capacity that one can hear
from the furthest position as we'll as
in a close proximity to the stage. The
doors of the hall We're opened at 10
o'clock and your correspondent was
on hand to take in everything. AS the
delegates arrived and took their seats
there was much applause, especially
SO when the faces of the most promin-
ent appeared. When Mr.. Hanna tap
ped the convention to order he was
cheered and after The opening prayer
he made short speech introducing
the temporary chairman, Senator VOL
cott, of Colorado. who spoke for an
hour and ten minutes and made 4 tell
ing speech. He was more tiian fre-
lquently applauded and at times when
he gave utterance to something which
caught his hearers the audience fairly
went wild.
Noticeable among the distinguished
men on the platform could be seen
Major Lacey, Senator Allison and Con-
gressman Dolliver.
The yice-prssidential riddle is still
unsolved, but will be settled probably
ere YOU receive this. Upon the assur-
ance that Roosevelt would net accept
the nomination, even if rendered him,
the Iowa people have gone to work
in earnest, and consider that they now
have a following second to none.
