A feature of the seating arrange

was the labelling of all seats. Every
chair carried on it's back a small
white placard bearing the. name of the
state in large capitals with the word,

detail did away with much of the con-

expectant throng.
Chairman Thomas Taggart of sthe

called the convention to order at IL:

The republican banner which was
strung across the street at Lincoln,
Nebraska, Bryans home, was torn
down by his supporters. Mr.. Bryan
upon hearing of the occurrence said:
Il am very sorry to learn of it. It
was ines.cusable. II the man who did
it thought he was helping me or the
democratic party he was woefully mis-
taken.'
The Tuesday session, lasting little
over two hours, was notable rather
for it's impressive magnitude and
spectacular effects than for the busi-
ness accomplished.

enormous mule has been in course OF
construction on top of building op-

every principle labor demanded OF the
republicans at Chicago, but was
framed in different language.
At 11:3O o'clock Tuesday, when the
hall was less than one-third full, the
first music of the convention crashed
forth from the upper balcony. A splen-
did band of some siXty-odd pieces, uni
formed in costumes of the western
plains, played series of patriotic Sc
lections to the applause Of the incom-
ing crowd.

White Teachers Safe.

The New Orleans School Board
has no intention of dismissing the
white teachers from the colored
schools without providing for them
elsewhere. When they are displaced
from their present positions, which
may happen in the fall, they will be
provided with more congenial occu-
pations. There have been a large
number of substitute teachers filling
positions in the colored public
schools.
