ouay's Place aud is Empowered TO
Appoint u Now Trcusurer---An Early
Convention to be Held.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The National
psDpblican executive committed ltiet'GSS
de Arlington Hotel at 8 o'clock this at-
,srnoon. OF the thirteen members Of
,be committee but seven were present:
Chairman NJ. S, Quay, Of Pennsylvania;
Vice Chairman ]. S. Clarkson, Of Iowa;
secretary ]. S. Fassett, Of New York;
treasurer W. W. Dudley, Of Indiana;
gaael Fessenden, OF Connecticut; Gar
mol 4. Hobart, Of New Jersey, and JIM.
HAYNES, OF New Jersey.
The first business before the commit
lee was the consideration OF the ac-
counts growing out of the last campaign
submitted by Treasurer Dudley.
This proceeding, however, was inter
upled ior time In order to allow Colo
rel Scott, OF Omaha, Neb., to make a
glowing speech in favor of holding the
next Republican National Convention
ia that city. Colonel Scott had reasons
in plenty 10 support his argument,
llsed largely on the precarious state OF
,he PARTY in the Western States odjoin-
iHg Nebraska, which mightbe improved
BY the infusion Of a party spirit bya
great national convention in the neigh.
IOrhood He also offered substantial
propositions looking to the facility OF
lie eeayentioa's work and for the nc
cOmmniatioa Of its delegates. When
be had concluded, the matter was re-
ierrel to the general committee, and
the Executive Committee resumed con-
aLeration ei the Treasurer's account,
A large mass OF correspondence was
ilso laid before the committee by the
chairman and secretary for discussion.
Many active politicians in different
parts Of the country had suggestions to
make and conclusions to draw from the
OatCome OF the last Congressional cleo
ton. Some pointed out the dangers of
the Alliance movement in their States
and submitted ingenious plans to meet
its threatened inroads on Republican
party strength, and others referred to
various grievances and cases OF dissatis-
iactiOn among Republicans which might
.eoyCrcome by proper treatment.
All Of these communications thnt ap-
pcared to be Of value were carefully
considered and particular attention was
enlisted in behalf OF an elaborate table
analyzing in detail the vote OF the last
Congressional election. Some discus
sion followed us to the time and place
Of meeting Of the full National Republi-
can committee, and it was finally de-
cided to intrUst the selection OF the
place OF meeting and oSact date to
Chairman Quay and Secretary Fassett,
with the prOviso that the meeting shall
take place some time in November.
II the time honored custom OF allow.
ing six months notice OF the meeting OF
the nominating convention is to be OBJ
served, :his action is IN indication that
the next national Republican convcn-
ton will be held not later than May
rext.

Illinois, q member OF the committee in

aa!C, tue committee took q recess for
iVo hours.
