lhey went over for another view of the
convention hall.

IL is as good as settled that Charles r.
Haney, the city clerk of Minneapolis,
will be the reading clerk Of the conyen-
ton. Sergeant-at-Arms Meek says that
he will recommend the appointment OF
Mr.. Haney as reading clerk during the
temporary organization Of the conyen-
ton, and there is little doubt that he
Will be permanently installed in that
position. Mr.. Haney went with the
members OF tile national committee to
the Exposition building Yesterday and
showed what he could do with his voice
in place like that. They were well
satisfied with the showing he made.
The plan of giving concert In the
convention hall on the evening of June
6 is indorsed by the national committee
men who are In the city, and the local
committees have been authorized 10 20
ahead with the arrangements. 1t was
also decided 10 hold mammoth meet
Ing during the convention, TO be adj
dressed by all the best orators in
the Republican party, includ-
ing the only Chauneey Depew.
These two points were settled
at the session Of the committees yester-
day morning. II was also decided that
the tickets to the convention remaining
after the national committeeman, the
delegates, the alternates and the dis
tinguished Republicans have been sup
piled will be turned over 10 the local
committees, to be disposed of as they see
III. The local committees Will supply
the subscribers to the guaranty fund
with what tickets they need and turn
over the balance for sale, the proceeds
TO 20 toward paying the expenses OF the
local committees.
+. +. Mack. chairman Of the state
central committee OF Iowa. was in Min
neapolis yesterday. lie came TO make
arrangements for the Iowa delegation
and the Iowa club, which promises to
come 10 the convention at least 800
strong. When Chairman ClarksOn was
in Minneapolis last winter he made
arrangements for rooms for the
Iowa delegation at the West, but
Mr.. Mack thinks the rooms Sc
cured will afford too little room.
The Minnesota delegation offers to give
up its rooms in the NicOllet 10 the Iowa
men, and Mr.. Mack will ponder on ac-
cepting the proposition. The whole
third floor OF the Russell block, on Fifth
street, has been engaged for the Iowa
club. This organization will sleep on
its special cars and use the Russell
block for a political headquarters.
The Republican high priests admit
they talked good deal OF politics yes
terday morning while they were slipping
Thomas Lowry's wine. They set up
many states, and broke all OF them in the
gray dawn. 1t is evident from the con-
VeTsatiOn OF these gentlemen that they
are not enthusiastic Harrison men.
They are willing to accept Harrison, be-
cause it would be undignilied for great
political party to call convention
and then fail to nominate candidate to
even make show or running for the
presidency. So they will accept llarri-
son. But they do not want him II they
can get out Of it, McKinIey's uaIGe Is
on their lips often enough to indicate
that they are not averse 10 giving him a
chance to be defeated. But they admit
that Harrison seems the likely nominee.
None of them, particularly j. Sloat
Fassett. takes any stock in the
report telegraphed from New York to
the effect that meeting had been held
there with the object of starting boom
for Mckinley for president and Cor
neius Bliss for vice president. ii. ).
Hyde, of Massachusetts, said that New
York Republicans would never think
of doing such thing while j. Sloat
Fassett was out of the city.
The Sixth Ward Republican club, ut
a meeting held Thursday evening, de-
carcd for Harrison for president: d..
NJ. Clough for mayor; Loren Fletcher
for congress.
