Wsnhlintnn, Dec. U. Representa
tives ot the rival cities which seek the
honor of entertaining the next Repub
lican national convention began ac
tive work yesterday. About 20 tnem
bars of the Hamilton club, of Chicago,
reachexl here late In the afternoon and
establlnhed headquarters In a hand
some suite of rooms at the Shoreham
hotel. The party Is In charge of Sam
uel Ii. Raymond and is made up of
prominent citizens of Chicago. LaBt
night a meeting was held and the sen
ators and a largo number of Republi
can representative) from Illinois at
tended and promised their cordial sup
port In endeavoring to obtain tho con
vention for Chicago. Sub-committeos
were appointed to canvass the na
tional committee and keep up the fight
to the end.
The Phtladelphlans who are already
here express themselves as delighted
with the result of their three days'
canvass In Washington, and Bay they
believe Philadelphia will be selected.
They say the one serious obstacle they
have met is the charge that Pennsyl
vania Is In favor of a resolution basing
the representation In the national con
vention on the Republican votes cast,
which, If adopted, would cut down the,
southern representation. The south
ern delegates, they say, have an idea
that Pennsylvania Is for tne proposed
change, and they started out last even
ing to counteract this Impression.
Contrary to expectation the delega
tion of tho New Yorkers who are ex
ported did not put In an appearance,
but Is expected In force today, when
tho representatives from St. Louis are
also expected.
It is said that tho southern national
committeemen are determined to make
a fight against Mr. Payne's plan for
a reapportionment of delegates In the
convention based on the Republican
votes cast. The statement Is made
that they propose to act as a unit and
cast their votes on the subject of the
selection of place of meeting In such a
way as will win for them the most sup
port In their fight against reapportion
