May avail myself Of your columns to ex.
PLAIN what may be misconstrued from the
incidental mention In two of the morning
Fapere, Of my having refused to open B1yan
Hall last evening, unless rent Of one hun
dIed dollars should first be paid.
I Was not in the city, and NO application
was made to me personally. The gentleman
Whcae province 1t now is to rent and manage
the Hall, informs me that no application
whatever was msde for it till after seven
O'Clock, when the crowd had assembled. aud
be then very properly declined to open the
Hal, except upon the terms named. In this,
be acted under my general Instructions, with
out regard to candidates, or any reference to
parties, the hall having been erected for the
purposes Of concerts, lectures, and occasions
Of Popular assembloges Of q quiet and orderly
nature; and the ianitor reports that political
meetings, as occasionally held in Chicago, do
not come under this category. The damage
to the room ard its furniture done b4 the late
Convention and on like former occasions, in.
dnced the adoption Of a rule as to the renting
oi the hall for snch purposes, which I au
glad to find will virtually amount to prohi.
bitiop, and that the audience chamber will
thus be preserved to the community for its
more legitimate Uses.
Very respectfully,
