The second Infantry band from Fort Omaha was in attendance , and while time huge crowd was assembling played a varied program , literally inter- mipersed witim lively campaign melodies , On ( ho immense stage back of the speaker's desk , on the west side of the auditorium , were seated a large number of time prominent republicans of time state , including most of the numerous mwplrants for places on the state ticket.
