1t has always been the practice of
mankind to judge Of actions or efforts
by the event. The same attempts. con-
Quoted in the same manner, but ter
minated by different success, produced
different judgments. They who achieve
success never want celebratorS of their
wisdom, their industry,Or their zeal. All
this will be demonstrated during the
next two weeks by the city of Minneap-
oils. Ever since the Republican ma
tional convention decided to hold the
convention in the Mill City there have
been those who seemed to have no other
occupation than to bewail the fact that
the convention would be failure.
While shedding crocodile tears, they as
serted positively that the great crowds
of visitors who would attend could not
be accommodated, and that the resultof
il all would be the disgrace Of the Whole
Northwest.
All who knew of the push and tireless
energy of the people of both Minneap0-
lissand st. Paul were convinced from
the start that as far as the work of the
local committees could go to make it
such the coming. convention would be a
grand success. And such 1t will be. 1t
does not take visitor 10 Minneapolis
these days ten minutes to make up his
mind that nothing will be left undone
to accommodate ali who may come and
give them the best accommodations

convention place is in the air, and the
most casual and unobserying visitor
cannot but feel 1t and be affected by it.
Tie committees are all at work. but
the task is a mighty one, and almost
every resident of the city has been
called to the aid of the members of these
various bodies. Every hotel is bureau
of Information, and when applications
are received at distance for quarters
the greatest care is taken to locate the
applicants. In case the hOtefi is full, as
has long been the case with several,
the applications are turned over to
others. The utmost good feeling pre-
walls toward st. Paul hotel men, and
private citizens who have made prepa-
rations to help entertain the visitors,
and whereverit can be done the merits
of st. Paul's hotels are mentioned and
the short distance to the Sanity City
referred to. Of course, the chairman of
the leading committees can do scarcely
ANYTHING but convention business these
DAYS. and then all would not be done
were it not for the gallant way in
which the other members come to their
aid. The citizens executive committee
is made up of tweuty-seven ct the lead
ing men of Minneapolis, and not one of
the number has failed to do good
share of the work. Yesterday afternoon,
for example. when Chairman Bracket
and Secretary MeCrory were obliged to
be away from the headquarters there
were no less than half-dozen of their
aides on hand, debating letters and
working like beavers. bob" Evans,
the good-natured national commit
teeman, was fixing up little proc
lanation to the people of Minneapolis.
calling their attention to various mat
ters. This will appear today.
The press committee, headed by Sen
ator Pierce, has so arranged matters
that the newspaper men will be taken
care of as they never were before. The
excellence of the arrangements made
by this committee is due largely to the
fact that the press committee was made
up of actual newspaper men.
The committee on building is not
large, but it is made up of men who
have won renown as hustlers. Hon. r.
B. Iangdon is the chairman. The other
members are: D. NJ. Clough, W. Nj.
Brackett. c. l.. Travis and E. q. Potter.
This committee was busy yester
day in showing the great hall
TO Sergeant-at-Arms Meek, of the
national committee, who was as much
pleased over the arrangements as Chair
man Clarkson, and he did not hesitate
to say that the hall is the best and
largest ever furnished national con-
vention.
Z The people of Minneapolis, as well as
the members of the different commit
tees, are expecting very large crowd,
and they are preparing to take care of
all who may come, and there will be no
breaks OF failures anywhere.
