DIFFERENT DELEGATIONS
The ''hustiing committees" sent here BY
towns that would like to entertain the next re-
publican national convention are working
like beavers today. Yesterday they were
busily engaged in showing everybody
why their particular town should be
the place. Today they are telling
you why other competing cities should not be
selected This kind Of q campaign has not yet
been carried to . disagrecable extent, but
there is promise Of a little friction as soon
as New York puts in an appearance.
The west-that 10 the large portion
thereof which is at and beyond the
Mississippi-is fairly harmonious and the more
frequently Omaha and Minneapolis men visit
the San Francisco headquarters the more eyi-
" sss they az. are .ne.s for
their declarations they will be satisfied with
the outcome il the convention alights and
abides in their territory. The Minneapolis
people are, Of course, for Minneapolis in the
first place. but they adopted resolution last

states that sin the Judgment Of this committee

the next republican convention be held in
the Mississippi valley and the northwest,
Minneapolis and 1t. Paul and the region .riS-
utary thereto, earnestly represent TO tho ma

outcome Of the present session OF the COM

THE TWIN crTfEs HARMONIOUS
One of the touching features Of the Fight is
the mutual fondness and admiration St. Paul
and Minneapolis seem to have for each other

At the Minneapolis headquarters the display
OF flags has increased materially since yester-
day. Growing palms and a pretty display of
roses have also been added. On the tables ard
fastened to the walls are photographs Of hotels
which will be available in case the convention
Is held on the upper Mississippi
OMAHA Is SMILING.
Omaha wears large smile today and says
but little. Confident competitors, it is said.

there Is something going to happen. Fragrant

the atmosphere in omaha's recep-
man Richard Smith of Omahn-who
is generally referred to as 'Dick"-is in the
building business and has the reputation of
being man OF prominence. He also has sew

huge and artistic basket o. the sweetest roses.
q tremendous affair, but Just as beautiful

Paddock, Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee,
7. L. Kimball and W. E. Amin were
doing large proportion Of the neces-
sary talk, and doing it we'll Photographs
Of Omaha and portions of Omaha were scat
tered around. and there was altogether pleas
antly businesslike impression made upon all
visitors.
Last night the Nebraskans held . meeting al
Senator Manderson's house for the purpose OF
selecting some one to vote Mr.. Robertsons
proxy. They did it. John NJ. Thurston was
first choice and the Hon. w. E. Amin was the
alternate. Several members of the Nebraska
delegation--msn who can tell the truth and
who are habitually addicted to that practice
say there was absolutely no political discus
sion either before the meeting, during the same
or afterward. There was no boom for Blaine
as presidential candidate nor was any chilly
moisture sprinkled over President Harrison
and his possible desire for denomination.
REVIVAL Oh WAKE NEEDED.
1.-THE republican party in Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas and South Dakota, !" said Mr.. Amin to q
STAR reporter, needs the national republican
convention right in its midst-in Omaha
There must 30 an immediate revival or o
wake"
Senators Henderson and Paddock took their
fellow Nebraskans over to the White House and
definitely and truthfuliy stated that the Presi-
dent did not make q speech in favor Of Omaha
or of any other place.
FRISCO STOCK War uP.
Just at this time San Francisco stock IL away
up. Whatever the reasons may be 1t lie I'M
doubleday the fact that the Californians
are more confident SO far as speech
goes, than any OF the other applicants.
Senator FELTON,, NJ. H. De Young Of the San
Francisco ChyoHicie Representative McKenna
and Judge Curtis are all just as certain in their
utterances as some of their visitors will be I'M
certain, If the refreshments will only hold out.
One of the strong arguments advanced ia
to the effect that California, although Q men,
Der OF the Union for forty years, has never had
O cabinet officer, an assistant secretary, an
assistant postmaster general, On auditor or a
controller; In short never had my
wants the convention and is willing to offer
and make good more Inducements than have
| ever been advanced by any city.
At times the appearance of things is some
what dull around all the other headquarters
Offices, but the San Francisco parlors are alive
all the time. This is probably due to the
general affection everybody has for the
Pacific coast--a love which Is perhaps rem
dered a trihe more ardent by the
hospitality which Is being dispensed in Cali
fornia style. In the main parlcr there tables
| and q sidcboard. A frequently visited but
| never empty cigar box Is within
| easy reach: oranges, grapes, almonds, olives,
cheese and variety Of crackers are present in
large quantities. On the sidsboard are bottles
and glasses; most Of the bottles contain apol-
linaris, but those are not most fire.
