Editor Elis,corth american:
With this mail l send you copy Of the
Minneapolis Sunday Tribune, containing
cut and interior view of our Exposition
Hall as it will be when completed and
changes made, now under contract. 1t Is
here, of course, where the coming Repub-
lican National convention Is to be held.
Our committee are hard at work. Nearly
go 600 has been raised among our citizens
TO defray the expense. The people Of
Minneapolis are on their metal and are de-
termined that when the convention ad-
journs no reasonable person shall have
cause Of complaint. The delegations,
slternates, and many clubs from thirty
eight states are already located and head
quarters provided. Committees are sub
divided and all are at work. and we expect
20 be able TO entertain 40, 900 people in good
shape. Rooms In office buildings and many
In private houses are being leased and
furnished, and all who come will have
good bed provided-snd IS for something
TO eat, thst in no way troubles US.
As you are aware this city is full of New
England people, and our latch-strings are
out-especially to our Eastern friends.
intend to care for three OF four at my
house and hope some of my old friends
from Ellsworth will put in an appearance !;
and hundreds OF our people will do the
same
While there Is almost universal disap-
pointment here among Republicans that
our great leader and, as think, the fore
most statesman of our time, has announced
that he is not q candidate, still we expect
& large and enthusiastic convention, and
we expect to nominate the next President.
Now a. to railroad fares. am inform
ed that arrangements are now perfected
so that the fare all over the country one
way covers the return trip. and the time is
limited TO the 25th of June. Our commit
tee on transportation are doing all In their
power to have this time extended, thus
giving visitors who have never been In the
Northwest before. the time to go ous 10
Dakota and see the broad prairirs. the
great granaries of the west; to visit
Yellowstone Park. one OF the most inter
esting and wonderful sights on the globe,
also the great Lake Superior and its grow
ing cities. All this can he done at low
fares and the trips can be made At moder-
ate expense.
VIII you please through the AMERICAN
call the attention of your readers to this
and say that none need keep away because
they fear Minneapolis can't entertain them
l can conceive OF no more delightful
trip than via Canadian Pacific railway
with which you can connect at Moosehead
Lake and have through car 10 this city,
and the same via Portland, and If one
desires 10 avoid dust and CT ,wded cars
this, to my mind, Is very pleasant route.
! having passed over 1t last summer, going
via Portland through the White Mount
aims.
And in conclusion, II any Of your p.o-
pie desire ~ secure accommodations In
advance. write to Hon Geo A Bracket.
