com-merce rooms and got what work remains re-mains to be completed well underway under-way t The committeemen were greatly perturbed I per-turbed over the inference that Senators Sena-tors Teller and

citizens will be effectual in bringing the Colorado senators to the support of the approaching conference i The supposition that the senators will remain away may after all be unfounded un-founded and the committee fctill counts with consfderable confidence i confdence upon the presence ot these trIed und true friends of silver i Having begun upon thIs line I was thought prudent by Uie committee to extend special invitations by wire to other silver celebrities throughout the Union The second message will be in the following strain J The silver convention called by Governor I Gov-ernor Rickards of Montana convenes i i in this city May 15 The great attention you are now attracting II at-tracting as an exponent of the white I metal makes it especially appropriate that you should honor the

advocates The committee then proceeded to I wade through other departments of I the preparatory work I has been arranged I ar-ranged to decorate the main thoroughfares thor-oughfares in striking and picturesque I style A huge banner with patriotic I inscriptions will float between the Knutsford and the Brooks Arcade and I other highways will be spanned with equal profusion Bunting flags and I banners will be used galore and altogether I al-together a gallant showing will be made The tabernacle too will not be I forgotten in the general displaj A number of appropriate emblems will I be exhibited and the stars and stripes will flpat from the lofty dome to the I sides of the mammoth hall and will undoubtedly make a rare and striking I effect i The committee is now able to state I definitely that one of the renowned i concerts by the Tabernacle choir will j I be the event for Thursday evening The committeemen flatter themselves j that this feature Will make a big hit with the delegates and the choir can of course be looked to for some thoroughly thor-oughly artistic work Prof Daynes and Prof Radcliffe will alternate at the organ and can be depended upon to fully bring out its majestic harmonies The arrangement committee is aranSement commIteeis now busily at work preparing to send out invitations to the great banquet tc come off on Friday night at the I Knutsford The invitations will per j baps number about 300 and Utahs I noted ones are expected to be out in 1 force at the festivities The finance committee of which S Richard Mackintoshes chairman report re-port that they have been successful in raising 1000 for the coming event This fund will apparently be wiped clean by the arrangement committee who expect to find it rather close fitting fit-ting to keep within the limits of this allowance alowance S The preparations for the silver conference con-ference are now about crystallized and the committeemen will have for the future only minor details to handle They are fully satisfied with what has been done thus far and have rosy hopes for the successful carrying out of their plans That the silver convention conven-tion will be J a signal success Is considered con-sidered a foregone conclusion Tim meeting of this convention it Is believed be-lieved will be looked back upon in the future as a red let l day in the history of Utah and the intermountain intermoun-tain region A few days ago Governor West wired Governor Rickards yf Montana asking him to urge hcP yrnors of j all the states incluaed > amas those r 1 Invited to send
