From the Chicago Express.
The local committee OF arrangements
for the Greenback-L Labor national conven,
tion in this city on the 9th Of June next,
has been actively at work for week past
and has accomplished very satisfactory re-
suits. The Exposition building, with all
OF the arrangements prepared for the Re-
publican convention on the %, including
seats IN divisions provided for each state
delegation, ample facilities f.rthe press,
six large committee rooms, seating
capacity fer ten thousand guests, and
standing room lor ten thousand additional,
has been secured. These arrangements
are more ample and convenient than have
ever before been prepared for the national
convention of any pOlitica! party.
The committee has also arranged with
the proprietor Of the Palmer house, who
has been very generous and liberal in
contributing means and cOnvenlences
to make the Decentralization con-
vention a success, to furnish rooms free
for the headquarters Of each state delega-
tion, for the national committee, for the
congressional committee, and for the
headquarters for the Gleenback- Labor
press.
The Palmer house also puts at the dis
posal of the delegates, club room which
will seat three hundred, and hall which
will seat eight hundred. The rooms for
the headquarters of the state delegations,
the national committees and the press, and
also the larger club-room, are contigous,
upon the second floor of the Palmer house,
convenient Of access to the office and to
the entrances to the hotel. These ar
rangements will afford every possible con-
veniencs for acquaintance and Consulta-
ticn among delegates and visitors before,
and during the session Of the convention.
The Palmer house, it is well known, is
one of the largest and best hotels in the
world. 1t is near the centre Of business,
is convenient to all places of public re-
sort, and is within two blocks of the
Exposition building, where the session Of
the convention will be held.
The committee has also arranged for
ample hotel accommodations at very
moderate prices. 1t would be well il the
delegations from the different states and
all who expect to attend the convention,
whether delegates or not, would write
Immediately TO secure hotel acCommoda-
tions.
The representation from each state
should, for convenience in consultation,
be quartered together. The committee
will secure and assign quarters for such
delegations as fast as application Is made

would be well, however, if delegates from
distance would not depend wholly upon
negotiations made in Chicago, for such
arrangements may not include local lines.
Besides, it is frequently the case that bet
ter terms can be secured in distant locali-
tics than here. For instance, the Green
back men of Name have arranged for
rate of $25 for the round trip from Port.
land to Chicago and return, by the Grand
Trunk line. This includes return trip
down the river st. Lawrence, by the
Thousand Islands. And the Greenbackers
of Indiana have arranged for fare Of IS
from indianapolis to Chicago and return.
The friends of the cause may be assured
that ample arrangements will be made for
the accommodation and entertainment Of
all. Chicago never does anything by
halves.
The indications point to such a con-
vention, in its practical arrangements. its
numbers and the character of its represen-
tation, as will give new heart and hope to
every friend of labor and Of monetary re-
form.
