THE VOTE IN DETAIL.

Never before in the history Of the Republican
party or of any other political party there such
a meeting of it's National Committee as that
to-day in the great banquet hall of the Arlington
which had be,n handsomely decorated and arranged
for the occasion. The hall will hold several hum
dred people, and il comfortably flled during
the hours devoted to speech-making by the repre-
sentatives of the various cities each of which
yeans to welcome tie Republican National Con-
venticn within her gates. 1t was no gathering
Of idle persons attracted by curiosity but an
audience composed of men. and women too. who
exhibited interest in the proceedings which was
as keen and active as 10 was apDrcciative and in
telgcnt. Glancing over this large audience. ones
attention was at once arrested by tine number Of
familiar faces and figures of men who. while not
members of the National Committee. testified by
their presence the deep interest which they felt
in its deliberations On the platform sat the act
ing chairman J. S. Clarkson. and the secretary. ]

of their fellow men.
Never before, indeed, was there such gathering
and attendance at meeting Of National Com
mttee called to choose a time and place for hold
ing National Convention; and never before
were greater interest and enthusiasm, not to say
confidence, in the prospects of the party shown
than on this occasion. 1T looks and feels like
Republican Con.enton instead of mere com
mittee meeting exclaimed Senator Manderon,
who subsequently contributed TO the enthusiasm
by making in behalf Of Omaha of the most
effective speeches Of the day
GOOD WORK FOR ALL THE CITIES.
All of the speeches were good, and the cities
who could not win, as well as the city which
won, have the proud satisfaction of knowing
that nothing which could be done to achieve a
full measure Of success in their behalf was left
undone. IL any attraction or advantage which
San Francisco possesses or which the representa-

il any arr uncnt which could be advanced in
her behalf was left unused, il certainly must
have been one Of extremely inferior consequence
to escape the keen scrutiny Of McKenna and DE
Young and the other vigilant and eloquent advo-
Gates and friends Of that metropolis They had
toed with unceasing industry since their arrival
and the work done BY their speakers to-day was
worthy of their previous efforts
To ex-senator Palmer, ex-Representatives
Brewer and Allen. and their associates, the city
Of Detroit owes a deot Of praise for their zsalous
