Chicago, we are told, must hustle if it
expects TO get the national Republican
convention next year. Chicago will
continue to hustle in substantially its
usual way whether it gets the conVen-
ton or nOt.-Chicago Tribune.
If Omaha is really in earnest about
the Republican national convention it
must guarantee police protection to at

train robbery and a safe cracking in
less than month the robust young Ne

The Republican national committee
will meet iii Washington on the 23d for
the purpose of selecting city in which

ternatIonal reputation as a convention
city. 1t is admitted to be the ideal place
IN this country for great gatherings
