The Re{ Wing committee that has
had charfe of the arrangements for
the CONVENTION has worked with in
.tenigence and assidt.1us industry. The
best tribtte to the character of it's
work will probably be the smoothness
with whfh the program: it has ar.
ranged will run and the enjoyment It
will affoid. But we cannot forbear
commencing the committee for the
wisdom md zeal it has shown and the
breadth pf view it has employed in
what it has: undertaken and accom-
pltshed. 1.-THE people, OF the city, too,
are entitled to all praise for the lib
eral manner in which they have stood
by and tided the committee, and the
earnest land sincere desire they now
exhibit for. the success. ~of the great
gathering and the full enjoyment Of
all who attend it,: The labor move
ment IN the community has taken a
decided boost In consequence of the
comingIof the convention, and it is
