this city today, and though not yet
fully begun, the impression made by
the class of men who are the city 8
guests in this regard is an admirable
one; the more is seen OF them the
better they are liked and the more
admired The delegates are arriving
from every direction, and there is
sameness about them in one way that
is impressive-every time you meet
one of them you know you have met
a Man. They are fine specimens,
every mothers son of them. They
include every class of business and
every walk of life. One moment you
are touching elbows with preacher,
and the next railroader or me-
chanic- business men, clerks, stu
dents, miners, workmen in all lines,
and every one a man of power, bris
Ting with character.
