Financial onxideratioIss.
The constant talk about the various cities
bidding for the convention caused those
most interested to endeavor to ascertain
the amount really needed by which its
presence could be secured. Inquiry devel-
oped that first and foremost the national
republican committee owed S54OOO which
amount would have to be provided before
any other matters would be even consider
ed. It was also learned that the expenses
of She committee until next November
would be at least as much more. and it was
said that any city entering the contest
would therefore be compelled to start off
with an offer of over s1OO0O0 before 1t
would even have so much as a chance, as
the committee was determined to run into
chosen by 1t should make such thing i'm
possible. 1t was freely rumoref that the
Chicago millionaires had offered, at the
early morning conference. to give the COM
mittee any sum it named which was within
| the bounds of reason. and some loungers
in the corridors put the sum offered by Chi
cago at $250.OOO. This gossip. of course,
made the visitors from other cities feel still
more depressed.
In conversation with a Star reporter q
well-known member of the committee said
he was bound to follow his party leaders,
of whom he regarded Senator Quay as the
foremost, SO far as he was personally con-
cerned, and that he consequently would
vote for Pittsburg, unless there were such
! strong arguments presented on behalf Of
