quartz rly session of the board OF
county commissioners was begun
yesterday, several matters of import
ance being brought up for their de-
clsion. Most important among these
was the redistricting of several parts
of the county. The one most affect
ing Ely was the Riepetown district,
which was established, taking in
Kimberly, the Veteran and a portion
of the Copper Flat workings.
The first act after reading and ap-
proval of the minutes of the last
meetings was entry OF an order per-
mitting George f. Parker to expend

suits, shining silk tiles and natty

them came the rough and ready Ok
lahomans, true products of the soil,
with broad brimmed sombreros, high
boots and the stain of travel.
Delegations from Florida, Alabama
and Iowa filed through the streets
during the morning and later came
delegations from South Dakota. Wis

Maryland, Kentucky and Minnesota.
The Tammany braves will be here
early tomorrow morning. about the
time the Bryan home cohorts arrive
from Nebraska. including the crack
organization from Lincoln, the Com

ing to lend vehemence to the Bryan
demonstration. Many interesting
convention figures are added as the
| delegations come in.
Tonight the California delegation
brought at its head Theodore A. Bell,
the temporary chairman of the con-
yention, who will sound the keynote
when the assemblage meets next
Tuesday. He Is fine product of the
coast, over six feet tall, with smooth
shaven. actor-like face, magnetic
presence and a reputation for stir
ring oratory. There was talk tonight
that If his keynote speech struck the
right chord the hesitating delega-
tions might be borne by the force of
oratory to the choice of a vice presi-
Dental candidate from the coast.
Another picturesque personality to
arrive was the fighting mayor of
Cleveland, Tom l.. johnson, rotund
and smiling, Just up from a council
with the leader at Lincoln. Others
in the star groups were Governor

Idaho, who Is here with an anti-Mor-

A strange figure in these gather
