The Republican Head.Qunrters.
| A large and enthusiastic meeting Of working
| Republicans were in council on Saturday even
| ing at the Young Mems Republican Club Room,
| over the project Of erecting 3 lsrge hall for
| campaign purposes.
E. C. Larned, Esq, as the Chairman Of the ez-
ecutiye Committee, presided. There we're pres-
.ent such representation, and such spirit Vas
manifested, that NO can assure our readers con-
fidently the Hall will be built, aud Of q size to
| accommodate from seven to eight thousand
people.
Remarks were made By numerous gentlemen
present, aid the whole mntter WIS referred to
q committee Of a.e, as follows: Messrs. G. n.
Holden, E. Rawson. G. ". Gage, n. i. Judd,
Fernando Jones, who are to report fully at the
adjourned meeting on Saturday evening.
From the direction taken BY the discussions
last evening, it is sufficiently indicated that the
hall will be built, and By subscription, and to be
in readiness for such use as it may be devoted
to during the session Of the National Convcn-
ton in May. It is unlikely that 30 large and
public hail will be preferred to Metropolitan
Hall for the sessions Of the Convention, for OBJ
sious reasons.
But ut all events the hall will find abundant
ndvaluable utility during Convention week, and
thence eonthronghout the Presidential campaign.
1t will serve as raliying point for the masses.
1t will gi1e the means Of reaching the people
with good, sound Republican doctrine from the
great lights Of the party.
1t is sure to occupy one Of the three or four
central locations offered By vacant lots. The
two leading sites are the property Of Alexander
White, Esq, On Washington street, opposite
the Court House Square; and the vacant lots Of
J. Y. Scammon, Esq, at the foot Of Randolph
street, opposite Dearborn Park We speak Of
these merely in respect to their fitness. haTing
no reference to any arrangements opened With
either or any propriesors Of The lots, none ha1:
ing been Jet made.
In our opinion the lot last named, opposite
Dearborn Park, has the preference in the fea-
ture all will appreciate who are familiar with
Yhat will be the influence Of the immediate
Lake shore, in the way Of coolncss and ycnti.
1atiou, for we hare shot work" ahead, aud in
the hot season too. Lake Michigan will be
capital near adjunct to the rentilating appli-
ances of the crowded Republican Headquarters
Of n1idsummer's evening. But wherever To-
Gated, let US hare that Hail..
The committee Of gentlemen who hare the
matter in charge, are fully equal to the tnsk Of
presenting the project with al its details re-
duced to practical working order, and will do
so, aud Republicans should turn ont in force to
hear their report, take the same in hand, and
bear it to successful result. lift be necessary,
by the enthusiasm awakened, let us hare Metro
politan Hall opened. and in one evening, with
the interest and enthusiasm manifested on Sat-
urlay night, the raising the entire sum needed
will be easily accomplished
1twas Interesting to notice on Saturday ere
ninghow thoroughly our Republicans have taken
hold Of the project. 1t is now regarded as the
foundation work Of the great campaign to Sc.
cure building where the people may rally in
their force, superior to the riciasitudes Of wealth.
