The meeting OF the Republican natiohai
committee in this city tomorrow Is at
tracing more than usual attention. fuiy
one-half of the members of the committee
are here, and the balance Will arrive To-
morrow. A lively scr!mmage Is eXpecteu
over the selection Of place for hoidihg
the next convention. Representatives
from San Francisco, Chicago ana Pitts-
burg have been on the ground for several
days and the shouters are expected here
today. Philadelphia, II she had any HE
II, her. and wanted the convention one"
half as bad as the other cities claim 10
want Is, could have II by putting mp the
amount OF money demanded. But at thls
writing II appears the Quaker City doesn't
want the convention--not II she mas 10
plank down 100000 10 get II.
The above amount IL what Chairman
Carter Is holding 1t at. That Is the
amount the committee owes from the last
campaign, and the creditors are becoming
tribe anxious about the value OF the
II. o. t's" given by Chairman Carter.
Senator Quay says nothing short or SloO,-
00o will settle the outstanding Indebted
ness of the committee. and II anybody
knows. Quay does. OF course, he had 1T
tie o. nothing - 10 with the management
enough N tbc fellows who we're I'm charge
IN know iust what he Is talking about.
Senator Ouay saws ex-Postmaster General
Wanamaker holds a note of the commits
tee, signed by Mr.. Carter as chairman,
for $4,000. Tom Dolan, q traction mag
nate of Philadelphia, also holds one of
Mr.. Carter's notes for II like sum.
Pittsburg has raised $4,000, and her
boomers claim they can raise that much
more. San Francisco goes Pittsburg S5O.-
900 better, and Is Offering Sl5O,0OO for the
big show. She is also offering a $50 rail-
road rate from Chicago TO San Francis
co and return. Major Moses p. Handy,
with whiskers and appetite intact, is here
In the interest of Chicago. He is .long"
on wind and promises but Short on
cash. He claims to have $35, 900. and says
the remaining s65, 900 will be forthcoming
as soon as the Windy City is selected.
1t is a toss-up between Chicago and
Pttsburg, with the betting in favor of
the former.
