A Touching Appeal for Aid
From the Roslyn Explo-
a1 sion Scene.

Minneapolis is DESTROYS of receiving
all the assistance that st. Paul can-ren-
der in entertaining the delegates and
outsiders to the Republican convention.
And this despite the attempt of the
Pioneer Press to make out that there
was disposition on the part of the
Minneapolis people to entirely ignore
the protfered assistance OF st. Paul
The committee from the chamber of
commerce yesterday visited Minneapo-
lis at the invitation of the executive
committee having charge of the ar
engagements for the convention. The
members of the committee are Messrs.
E. V. Smalley, J. FL. Davidson, r. r.
Dorr and r. B. Wheeler. The commit
tee received very hearty greeting from
Chairman Bracket and Secretary Nc
Crory, who explained at length the ar
rangementS for the convention. The
convention hall was also visited, and
everything was found almost in readi-
ness for the convention. The hall Will
comfortably seat 11,000 people, and
every one will be within hearing dis
lance of the floor occupied by the
delegates. Chairman Bracket informed
the st. Paul committee that the assist
ance of ST. Paul was earnestly de-
sired for the taking care of the visit
ors to the convention. The delegates
and alterRateS, as well as the working
newspaper force, are practically pro-
vided for, absorbing the hotel accommo-
dationS of Minneapolis. The committee
has obtained lodgings in private houses
for the accommodation of 6,000 more.
There viii probably be 500 who will
sleep in their own cars, and probably
1000 Will be accommodated at the hotels
at MinnetoHka. Chairman Brackett.e s-
80. OO0 TO 10000.
1t is a curious fact that very few peO-
pie. outside of the delegates and news
paper men. have applied for lodgings.
A week ago, when the Pioneer Press let
off its her0fcs OH the action of the Min
! Iieapol:s committee in failing to assign
! applicants for accommodation TO St.
Paul, there had been, according to
Chairman Brackett, only fifty-nihe APP
! 'plieatiOIiS outside the actual working
force. of the, convention, which must be
I provided for within easy distance of the
| convention hall. Mr.. Bracket said, so
! far from there being any purpose OF
! the executive committee to discriminate
against st. Paul. they had fully counted
upon the facilities of this city in all
/ their plans for handling the convention,
and they.are now of the opinion that the
! ST. PauEheteis would be taxed to their
| fullest capacitx.s The Minneapolis com.
mittee Regretted that the Great North;
/ ern road Dies hot think it safe to run
trains from st: Paul direct to the con;
pention ball. Another effort will be
made to secure the concession.
The st. Patlf committee assured
MesSrS. Bracket and MeCrory that tho
hotels of this city were making prepRfa-
! tions for the great influx of visitors
j during convention week, and that the
disposition of the, citizens; effSt.l Ia si
was to join with their sister city to make
agreeable and comfortable the visit of
| the great army of Republicans who will
! be ON hand the nth of June.
| Having in view the fervid urterances
Of Mr.. DriSeoll before the chamber of
commerce, and the wild editorials of the
! Pioneer Press, it. IS amusing to relate
i that soon after the location of the COIL
Nention a joint committee was appointed
from the two cities on hotel accOmmo-
| datioii.. The members of the st. Paul
J COMMITTEES were Gen. Sanborn, f. g..
[ IngerseIl and Stanford Newell. Tho st.
Paul end Of the committee has never
! attended, "a meeting.
