and Minneapolis, with part Of the en-
tertainnent at Minneapolis agreeing
that the convention proper would be
held in St. Paul. This arrangement
was agreed to unanimously by the
Minnesota delegation, and Immediately
upon the arrival at Omaha, Mime

ground floor Of the Willard hotel and
all the Minnesota represen atives start
Ell in for earnest work to secure the
next convention for\our state.
Mr.. Bryant was selected a. chairman
of the committee, and was assisted by
Fred B. Wright, of neapolis. presi-

Mr.. Charles NJ. Wilcox, Marshall
Mimi, member of the national Repub-
lican league executive committee, and
Maj. John Espy, OF st. Paul Hereto
fore the selection of the next place Of
holding the national convention has
been decided by the convention then in
session, but this plan was changed at
the Omaha convention, and the conven-
ton voted to place the matter in the
hands of the executive committee Of
the national league, which consists Of
fifty-One members, one from each state.
The reasons advanced by this change
was the fact that when certain city
was selected in advance. the conven
ton would have to go there, and the eX
and hotel RATES were arbitrary, where
as. if the selection was left with the
executive committee they would have
been in position to secure satisfactory
rates and other inducements before the
location was settled upon. The fact

Mr.. Bryant states that most of the
league executive committee were call
ed upon personally, and with very few
exceptions they agreed to vote for ST.
Paul, provided We offered the proper
Inducements Both Col. Stone, the

tee was also greatly assisted by Messrs.
L. ]. Crawford. D. w. Woodmansee,
ex-presiGents of the national league.
With a full attendance of the delega tes
allowed from all the states there would
be 1873 delegates in the next national
league convention. as these delegates
come from every state in the Union it
is a very important convention to Sc
cure for the city.
1t is probable that the matter will
rot be definitely decided for a year to
come, in the meantime it is proposed to
at once organize a Joint committee
from St Paul and Minneapolis to make
the preliminary arrangements, and be
in communication with the members of
| the national executive committee. so
| that when the committee meets or for
/ mally act upon the matter, the propos
