Work on the wigwam-Executive Com
mittee Meeting Tonight - Prohibition
Committees Appointed-Judiciai Con-
vention-Minor Matters.
Three carloads of lumber for the Republic
can wigwam arrived from Cleveland via the
G. G. c. h l. railroad yesterday and was un-
loaded at Market Square early this morning.
The ground was laid off for the building-the
front OF which will be fifty feet back from the
High street crossing, the east side about fif-
teen feet from the curb of the Arcade pave
ment, and the west side about twenty-five
feet from the market house front--and
dozen or fifteen men set to work under Har-
vey Arbogast, who superintends the job, the
executive committee having general charge.
He says the concern will be turned over to
the decorating and furnishing committee by
the 4th or 9Th of June The remainder of the
lumber will be here tonight or tomorrow and
work can then be pushed rapidly. There was
some talk that an injunction was to be got
ten out to stop the work, Uncle Billy Reid,
who has just been elected to the city board OF
equalization by Republican votes in council,
being credited with the initiation of the
scheme. The rumor was probably ground
less, however, as up to noon no steps OF that
kind had been taken or were likely to be. j.
X. Ambrose has been placed on duty as spe-
cal policeman on the Square to preserve
order, and will be known as "Big g." Until
after the convention hucks,ers and those
holding outside stand privileges in market
will occupy space on High street, it is under
stood.
The general committee of arrangements
has meeting in room No. 6. Arcade, at 1880
tonight, to hear further reports and take &C.
ton thereon. The committee on furniture
and decorations will meet at the same time
and place. The entertainment committee
has received replies from fifteen counties al
ready, approving their assignments to quar-
ters and saying that full delegations are COM
ing TO the convention. This committee has
systematized its work in the most perfect
manner, and regular delegations will be re-
ceived at once, on arrival, and escorted to
quarters at one OF the three principal hotels.

bell. The delegates were instructed by reso-
