The committee elected Claiming f.
Meeks, of Colorado. sergeant t-at-arms of
the national convention. Many members
of the committee left Washington for
their homes after the morning ses-
sion. and some difficulty was expert
enced in securing quorum for the
session this afternoon. The committee was
finally, at 2:30 O'Clock. called to order in
secret session. Representatives. of the
National League of Republican Clubs,
which held meeting in this city
this evening. were present by in

interchange of views on the political stu
of each State giving his ideas as TO wha!
