Don't Need Beds at Conventions.
John B. Larkin said he was enthused
already, and was willing to do anything in
his power to secure either the Republican
or Democratic conventions, or both. ''This
talk about hotels" said he, doesn't cut
much of figure in the matter. When
people 60 to national conventions they
don't want beds, they go either for business
or for fun"
Chancellor Holland presented Pittsburg' s
claims for recognition by the National Com
mittee in o neat little speech.
'It was in Pittsburg," said he, "that the
Republican party was given birth, rocked
in an iron bound cradle of the citv's product
into the strong and healthy party that has
been the blessing of the nation. Ii this
city, the party's mother, asks anything OF
the party, it is her right to get it.
c. L. Magee announced that he had sent

also requested Mr.. Watres to help Pitts
burg in getting the convention, and had no
doubt it would be done.
