The Democratic National Committee are Sc 1
r'ous}y considering the pEop.icty Of holding the |
National Convention at some other place than
Charleston, in consequence of the c1orbltant |
prices fixed upon by the hotel and boarding
house keepers Of that city The attention Of the
committee has been directed to tbis matter by.
leading Democratic members Of Congress.
Richmond, Virginia, has been named rs the
proper place to change the Convention TO, aud
unless tic Eonifaccs como down to "livirs
prices" the Committee will take the response

II Of the chivelry Gftcr this, yc doughfaccs!
Charleston is little old niggcr town ol 20,oc0
whites, und 80, 600 blacks, mulattocs aud octo.
rooms, owned by the said whites.
Now let tue conduct Of Chicago stand cut in
bold relief contrastcd with that Of Cla' lesion.
Let the country see the practical difference be-
tween Republican aud uiEser-drising ideas Of
hospitality. Let the 1iberality and fr.cndlincss
Of Republicans shine before the world in con-
trast with the churlish mud greedy rapacity Of
Democratic ncgro-fecders. Your late victory
has exalted your Republicans in the estimation
Of frecmen throughout the land. This high
opinion must rot be frost-bitten. Your guests
will lie the representatives Of two millions Of
brayc and patriotic men. Givc them cordial
and generous welcome. Thousands will be in
| your city who have never seen Chicago, but
they have heard Of ner fame, und no delegate
must be allowed 10 leave tic Garden City Saying
"'Twas distance lent enchantmcnt to the
7icw." Your Young Acn's Republican
Club, should charge themselves with the
important duty of seeing that ample arrange
ments are perfected Tor the entertainment Ct the
guests. All the hotels and boarding houses
should be called on to sign published scale Of
charges, which should in no instance or particu-
lar be higher than the usual und ordinary psi.
ces. Nothing il remembered longer by a tray.
e!er than the extortion Of IN inukcepcr. But
the hotels will not accommodate one quarter o1
the Republicans going to that Convention. The
lstch string must be put ont. Every Rcpub}i
can family should DO prepared to entertain some
guests-to lind place for people to sleep, at III
events. The hutels can feed thousands whom
they caunot possibly lodge.
One word more On this subject. The Charles
