To-day the Congressional Republican
Central Committee meets in the p.rlprs OF
The HALLIDAY, for the pl-p1se OF selecting
place and the time for holding the next
Congr ssional Convention of the party,
which ls to selec' delegates 10 the National
Convention, no innate a candidate for
Congress, etc. There are twelve members
of the cOmmittee--one from each
county and two for the dis
trict at large. The committee will
probably not meet until afternoon. A-iull
attendance is expected. The deliberations
of the committee will probably not las'
over couple Of hours. The matter th.t
will doubtless consume most Of the time
will be the selection OF the place, and in
this particular point Of The committees
work Cairo has m tteria interest. 1t is
very much to be desired that Cairo shout
have the convention for number of very
good reasons that will suggest themselves
rea lily to every thinking man. That it
would be benefit to Cairo in various ways
is a self-evident proposition, and it is need
less to deny that this is the chief motive
I'm lerlying our desire for tn, c,nvenirn;
but it is none the less s,l'-cviIent to every
clear-headed man, that, from the stand
points Of the deleg stcs IN all parts of the
district, Cairo would be the best pllce for
the convention. Giro has all necessary
cOnvenences hotel accommodations, an
ample ami elegant Opera House to meet
in free of charge, and is easy of appro CT
from every county an almost every part Of
every county in the district. No one not
blinded by prejudice will deny that Giro
offers these all-important advantages in a
degree not approached by any other city in
these ten counties. There are other things
