WORKING COMMITTEE.
A resolution was adopted for the appoint
nent by the Sexeo utive committee of COM
mittec Of FIVE, including the chairman and
secretary to take charge of all matters touch
ing the control of the hall to be occupied by
the convention in 1880.
TEE PLACE OF THE CONVENTION.
After recess claims were presented Of sever
al places for holding the next Republican ma
tional convention. Mr.. Root, of Illinois, ad-
vocated Chicago. He said he represented in
this matter not only Chicago, but the great
Northwest, of which Chicago is
the great railroad center. That
city had better hotel accommodations for
convention. 1t would give bed to everybody
attending the convention. It would supply
one of the finest halls in the country, the ex-
position building rooted with glass, and its
architect was instructed to make any alter
ations that might be suggested. The building
was on the lake shore. There was always cool
breeze and no coal smoke. 1t was within five
minutes walk of the railroad depots, and would
be placed under the entire control of the execu.

would also be furnished free to members of
the executive committee at the Grand Pacific
hotel. All the clerical force desired by the
committee would be supplied free OF
expense. Printing would be done free, as also
the printing and binding of the official report
thing else that the committee might suggest
would be furnished. (Laughter.) And he pre-
sumed that the Chicago papers would deal
fairly with everybody.
A Member-How about beer? (Laughter.)
Mr.. Root-The price of beer will not be
raised.
Mr.. Snowden, of the Chicago Times, prom
ised on the rart of the press of that city that
the proceedings of the convention, if held
there, would be reported better than they ever
were before.
The claims Of Cincinnati were presented by
Richard Smith, of the Gazette. He said he had
been commissioned by the citizens of that city
to extend to the committee a hearty invitation
to select Cincinnati as the place of holding
the next Republican convention. They would
present to the convention the finest hall in the
world, not the hall in which the convention of
1876 was held, but a new hall built at cost of
half million dollars, for unusual purposes,
and for holding conventions and ex-
positions. In the body of this
hall. there were 47,O0O seats, while 1900
more could be seated on the stage. This hall
was reached from all hotels by street railroads
He was authorized to tender that hall free of
expense. That would include the printing and
everything necessary for the convenience of
the convention. The key of the building would
| be placed in the hands of the executive COM
mittee, free from all control on the part of the
local committee. Cincinnati would be pleased
to entertain as its guests the members
of the national Republican committee.
and to furnish them with such headquarters as
| they might select without any personal ex-
| pense. He might add, he said, ON his own re-
| sponsibility, that the price of beer should not
be increased. Uaughter.) Cincinnati made
this application in the modest spirit that
characterized her people. Uaughter.) They
would have offered free entertainment to all
the delegates and alternates if they thought
that would be acceptable.
Mr.. Senior, Va.-Will you give bonds fer the
good conduct of the gentlemen of the press.
