Republican Committee Called.
Chairman r. H. Spence has issued
formal call for a meeting of the republican
state central committee to be held in this
city Monday, July 80, at a m. This will
be two days before the state convention
meets. A great deal of important business
is on hand for the committee and the addi-
tional meeting before the state convention
was therefore made necessary. This year
there will be more than ordinary work on
hand for the district caucuses and It is
likely that the central committee will de-
eide to call the district caucuscs for the
night before the convention, Heretofore
It has been the custom for the delegates
from congressional districts to meet in
caucuses and each district name one MEM
Der of the credentials committee, one
member of the resolutions, one of the
permanent organization and a member of
the state central committee for the ensuing
year. These caucuses are held at o'clock
the morning Of the convention and are held
the convention. The nominations of the
caucuses are always accepted by the con-
vention which meets at 1880 O'clock Be
cause of the large number of contested
counties 1t is proposed to call these
caucuses the night before. so they will
have plenty OF time to fight out their con-
tests and make their nominations. The
committee win consider this at its meet
ing. There are also other business matters
for the committee to attend to. 1t is ex-
pected this year that the delegates to the
state convention will begin to arrive in this
city as early as Saturday night, July 2s,
and It is confidently expected that there
will be many delegates here by Sunday.
