The NAtaoDal Republican Executive
Commlttss met 1t Washington on the
llth insk. All tho members were pres

Ing that the change was not advisable.
The time Of holding the convention was
flxed on the 10th Of May, only six men,
ben voting for later day, say the mid

was not much debate on this point. The
main discussion arose on the question
where the convention should be held
Cincinnati and indianapolis were repre-
vented by special committees. St. Louis
was urged by Missouri Congressman,
and the advantages Of Chicago were set
forth in letter signed by several lead
ing citizens Of that place. Horace Gree
ley strongly urged that Cincinnati
-should be selected. His strong point
was tirat the convention ought to be
held ut place whene tina s.rts' - '--c"is
and needs help. Mr.. Cook, OF Illinois,
answered that according to this argu-
ment New York City ought to be chosen.
This retort raised laugh, and finished
Mr. Greiey's speech. The first ballet
resulted: Chicago s, Cincinnati 6, In
edianapolis 5, st. Louis 8. Second ballot
the same. Third and fourth ballots !:
Chicago 10, Cincinnati 6, st. Louis and
Indianapolis each. On the fifth ballot
Chicago received IL, Cincinnatil0. The
vote in favor of Chicago was then made
unanimous.
