Vermonters at Minneapolis.

The Vermont Association of Mime
sofa, located at Minneapolis, has de-
termined to entertain all Vermonters at
tending the National Republican Con-
vention.
For use during the Convention the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan Company,
of Minneapolis, in recognition of its
stockholders from, Vermont has gener-
ously placed at the service of the YER
mont Association it's directors, room and
the one, adjoining (Nos. 1908 and 10O5).
These rooms are centrally located and
easily accessible and it is believed they
will prove very delightful headquarters
for all Vermonters.
On account of the great numbers that
will attend the convention, it will be
difficult, if not impossible, to secure
agreeable rooms in the hotels of the city.
For that reason Minneapolis Vermonters
have resolved to open their houses to
visitors from their native State. To aid
the work of making assignment for
board and lodging and to be of any other
service to those visiting Minneapolis
during the convention committee of
reception has been selected. This COM
mittee is comprised gentlemen who have
come from different parts of Vermont
and it is believed that from it every Yer
monter who proposes to attend the con-
vention can select a personal acquaint-
ance. Certainly any member of the
mmittee will take great pleasure in
aiulhg ', '+ors in securing accommoda-
Ulohs' 1hose ""~ ;ntnnd coming will
please address, at an eaIIr 80 anv
member of the committee whose names
and city addresses appear below. 1t is
the aim to show that Minneapolis is a
good place for the convention and that
Vermonters will find themselves at home
at Republican gathering.
For those who prefer, hotel accom-
modations can doubtless be secured at
St. Paul and Lake Minnetonka. At all
events the members of the committee
will do their best to secure such accom-
modations whenever applications is
made to them.
The Guaranty Loan building where
the Vermont headquarters will be is on
ly five minutes walk from the railway
depots, and ten minutes walk from the
Exposition building in which the con-
yention is to be held. The time from
st. Paul to Minneapolis by the the rail
ways is twenty-five minutes and there
are between forty and fifty trains each
way daily. By electric trains which run
between the cities every five minutes.
the trip can be made in forty-five minu-
tes. Lake Minnetonka is reached by
either of these railways in thirty five
minutes.
All mail addressed to visiting Yer
monters may be sent in care of the Yer
mont Association of Minnesota, room
1905 Guaranty Loan building, Minneapo-
lis. MINI. Thus letters will be delivered
within forty-eight hours after leaving
Vermont.
The Bennington County Committee is
as follows: F. w. Booth, $40 Guaranty
Loan building; NJ. j. Davidson 8Od
Third avenue, South.
Numerous special invitations have
been sent by residents of this city to ac-
uuaintances in Vermont, for their com
pany during the convention. tits found,
however, that so few replies are received
that some other means must be made
use of, to secure provisions for all our
friends. While there are abundant
quarters for all who come. the crowd al
the convention is so large that we can
not keep many quarters vacant awaiting
replies to invitations. The committee
therefor respectfully request all Yer
monters who:propose to attend the con
vention, to indicate their purpose a
once to this committee, and if they have
any preference, state what accommoda
tion they desire.
