 Night Scenes Brilliant.
 The night scenes along the main streets of Denver are brilliant with electrical effects. Thousands of col ored bulbs of every variety have been used in every imaginable way. Spe- cial designs in banners and signs and likenesses of popular candidates are turned on each evening for the amuse- ment of the crowds. The piece de re- sistance, however is the big perman. ent Arch of Welcome" opposite the Union Station, under which all visitors have had to pass. The circles of col | cred electric lights around the gilded dome of the state capitol is also an other handsome effect The S1OOOO electric fountain in the park has | afforded entertainment to thousands throughout the week. Aside from the purely public efforts in this direction | the hotels and business houses have been most lavish in their decorations and illumnations and it can be said | that not a single convention visitor will leave here without having been thoroughly impressed by the manner in which Denver does things.

In this way 1t is said that before the week is over not single one of the delegates will be left out of the social whirl that has been buzzing all week. Denver's atti titude in the matter has been ab solutely non-partisan. She was enter. taining big crowd of visitors and Re publicans and Democrats Alike have done their part to the utmost
