The republican national committee will
take the matter under consideration in
November, for which time q special
meeting has been called.
There il practical unanimity among
the governors in favor of change Of
date. The almost invariable bad
weather on the 4th Of March, the sick
ness and discomfort that attend that
day and the frequent deaths of promi-
nent men resulting from exposure
while in attendance on the inaugural
functions have created sentiment en-
tirely favorable to q postponement to

effect the change. A joint resolution

ting the question to the several states.
Such q resolution has twice passed the

will pass the house this year.
