WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The National
Republican Committee meets tomorrow
morning. After organization is effected,
the resignation of Chairman Quay viii
be acted on, and some one chosen as his
successor.
In the afternoon the delegations from
the various cities desiring to entertain the
National Republican Convention next
year will be heard.
A member of the committee tonight
said that each delegation would probably
be allowed an hour for argument. Then
the committee will ballot until city has
been selected.
The Omaha delegation has chosen Judge
G. r. Scott to present Onaha's claims.
Cincinnati will be presented by ex-Gov-
ernor Foraker. Major Mckinley is ex-
pected tomorrow, and his support is eX-
pected to materially assist Cincinnati.
Minneapolis will be represented by a
number of speakers, each with briet
argument. The same rule will be fol-
lowed by Detroit.
1t is now stated that Senator Hiscock
will present New York's claims, assisted
by Hon. j. Sloat FasSett and Senator
Aawley of Connecticut.
Committeeman Campbell of Illinois
VIII at the proper time announce to the
National Committee Chicago's willing
ness TO entertain the convention should
the committee decide that it is the proper
city in which to hold it. The Pittsburg
delegation has not yet arrived, the train
having been delayed.
The Sabbath was not observed by visit
ors who are working to secure the con-
yention for the respective aspiring cities.

been no change since last night worthy OF
note. bewildering lot of reports and
contradictions are going around but they
are hardly worth repeating. The repre-
sentativeS of each of the aspiring cities
make great show of confidence that
they do not feel. 1t is freely predicted
that number of ballots will have to be
taken, and if the contest is protracted, as
1t may possibly be, Chicago may yet walk
away with the prize. 1t is almost the
universal opinion that Chicago's chances
are at this time as good as any of the
cities that are making the active fight.
One Of the reports is that if Minneapo-
lis, Omaha and San Francisco combine
against any Eastern city, New York and
Cincinnati will also join hands. The
general opinion is that Pittsburg, Detroit
and New York are mot in it, but that
the contest is virtually between Cincin-
natl and Minneapolis, with San Fran
cisco and Omaha closely behind in the
order named. 1t is admitted on all sides
that Chicago is a probability, although
that city is not making an active fight.
The San Francisco committee has sue
ceeded in making many friends among
the delegates from the other States, and
they feel sure that San Francisco is at
least the second choice of the majority of
the National Committee, and believe
they are just as likely to compromise on
San Francisco as Chicago. The Califor-
mans have encountered difficulties
where they least expected them. They
no sooner received assurances that Sena-
tor Dolph of Oregon would vote with the
Pacific Coast than it was said that Sena-
tor Carey of Wyoming would support
Omaha. This last proves to be true
Senator Carey himself admits that he
will vote for Omaha.
Mcbride of Utah, who last night was
considered doubtful, as we'll as Senator
Dolph, now says he will want the con-
vention at San Francisco, as many of the
visitors to the convention would in that
case stop off at Salt Lake City. Senator
Dolph told J. NJ. Montgomery of Port
land, Or, to-day that he had no thought
of supporting any city but San Francisco.
as it would be of vast benefit to Oregon
as well as California if the convention is
held on the coast, but that when Mr..
DeY Dung approached him about the
matter yesterday he did not much relish
the way in which the Californian spoke ke
about the matter. 1t seemed a little too
much like coercion.
The California committee hope to Sc
cure the vote of Senator Chase of Rhode
Island. 1t is understood that he is quite
fav, rably inclined toward San Francisco
Car, bn of the District of Columbia may
also cast his ballot for San Francisco.
Quinn, Booth and Alexander of the
San Francisco committee have made
many friends for their city by their gen.
tlemanly treatment of everybody.
One hour will be allowed each city in
which to present its claim before the
committee tomorrow. Ii Mr.. McKenna
does not consume all the time, Francis
q. Newlands may have a few words to
say to the committee.
