Although there are no other speeches
on the programme IL is suggested that
Senator Fairbanks and the representatives
in Congress may speak. IL has been the
understanding that no nominations would
be made until tomorrow, the second day

of changing this arrangement. The sug-

nominated to-day, in order TO expedite
matters as much as possible. II is also
suggested that the delegates at large TO the
national convention and the electors at
