A MME AND PLACE FOR HOLDING THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION TO BE CHOSEN TOMORROW
meeting Of the Republican National League Execu-
tive Committee win be held tomorrow at the Plaza
Hotel. instead CT at the League headquarters. The
object of the meeting is to fix upon time and
place for holding the next National Convention. At
the last convention, which held in Cincinnati. 1t
was at first decided to hold the next convention at
indianapolis, but this decision reconsidered and
the whole matter left to the Executive Com
mittee.
The place OF the meeting, however. is Of far less
Importance with the League leaders than the time.
Heretofore these conventions have been held prior to
the regular convention OF the party at which nomlna-
tons made. This practice may be continued this
year. but 1t will be srenuousy opposed by some Of the
most sagacious in the club movement
The reason is apparent. If, for example, the conven
ton should be held at indianapolis next May, every
body would say it done in the interest of President
Harrlsons denomination. II 1t were held in New-fork
the charge would be made that Mr.. Depew had cap
tured the clubs II In Columbus Cleveland then Major
Mckinley would be considered the Leagues choice,
ETC.. etc. All this must be avoided, the League men
say the constitution OF the organization fobds the
blooming" of anybody. The most sensible way to
avoid doing so, they add, is to hold the convention
after the Republican candidates for President and Vice
President have been placed in the field. Then it
matters not where the gathering is held 1t would be
simply grand ratification meeting.
Besides calling the convention the committee will
also consider plans for the campaign Of 1892 in which
the League proposes to take active and prominent
part. President Clarkson will preside. The other
officers who are expected to be present Andrew b.
Humphrey. secretary Phineas C. Lounsbury, treasurer
James A. Blanchard chairman Of the sub-eXecutive
