in This State
The delegates to the Republican Nation
They arrived in Philadelphia yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock and are CHARTERED
at the Aldine Hotel.
This is the Twelfth Republican Nation
al convention that has been held in this
country. The first one met in Philadel-
phia on June II, 1856. Again in 1872, June
9Th, thee invention was held in Phila-
delphia-the second to be held in that
city. It's permanent chairman was
Thomas Settle, of North Carolina. Now
for the third time it meets in Phila-
delphia.
Five Of the conventions have been held
in Chicago The first of these was in
1S60-the second of the conventions ever
held, but the first held by the Republi
cans at which a successful Presidential
ticket was nominated. The others at
Chicago were in 1868, 1880, 1884 and 1888.
The convention has met once each in
the following cities: Baltimore QS6D
Cincinnati (1S92), Minneapolis QS92) and
st. Louis QS96).
The chairman of the Minneapolis con-
vention QS92l was William Mckinley.
He was also chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions at the Chicago conven-
ton in 1884.
Neither the Republicans nor the Pop.
ulist have as yet called their nominating
conventions in this county.
h fo,, IL,
lists to call convention and name a full
ticket, composed of both PoDulists and
Republicans Then the Republican exc
cutive committee will endorse the tick
ct, the Republican end CT it having been
selected by them before it was ever
endorsed by tn Populists.
mo regular convention will be held
by us in this county, said one promin-
ent Republican, "for the reason that we
can't keep the internal niger out of it,
There'H be some kicking in our ranks
at the committees taking charge of
things, but it won't Go us half as much
harm as would the niger pow-wow we'd
have if we called a convention.
My idea now is that we'll agree with
the Populists as to a division OF the
ticket Indicate 10 them names that
would be agreeable to us and let them do
the nominating. You see the Pop is a
wild fowl this year and we've got to let
him think he's running things or we can't
get him at all. He SHES at the niger
worse tan a one-eyed horse at a stump
in the moonlight. We are having almost
as much trouble keeping him in conven
ton this year as we are keeping the
niger out
Senator Marion Butler was in the city
Sunday consulting with the delegates to
the National Republican convention in
regard TO the policy to be pursued by
them in the convention; also consulting
with Dr.. Thompson, Hal Aver and others

State shall be conducted.
