WIGWAM MAY BE BUILT.
Exposition Hall Not Adequate to Meet
National Convention Needs.

National Convention Needs
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. THE Repub-
lie says that crisis has been reached
in regard to the selection of place to
hold the Republican national conven-
ton of 1896, and Messrs. Clayton of
Arkansas, Campbell of Illinois and
Payne of Wisconsin will be invited to
come here next Monday and decide
whether to hold the convention in the
Exposition building or build wig
wan. The former will hold $1,000
people, but all cannot hear the pro-
ceedings. For this reason wigwam
is proposed as prefera bic. If the lat
ter is decided upon, it will cost $50, 600
to build, $50, 900 of which is in hand,
leaving $40, 600 still to be raised.
