PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL.

Tlie Twin Cltlea Can Kaxlly Aceommo«lato til4) Republican Hoiti. There can be no argument successfully advanced against the ability of the Twin Cities to properly entertain and care for a convention whose numbers might far exceed any political gathering yet held by the Republican National Convention. Minneapolis alone has hotel accommodations for 6,800 guests and St. Paul, which is within a twenty minutes’ ride from the convention hall, can entertain 5,100, making a total hotel capacity for 12,000 people. What other city In the United States can make a better showing in the hotel line, except possibly Chicago and New York? The fact that St. Paul Is ten miles from Minneapolis, union depot to union depot, cuts no figure. That distance Is rendered insignificant when compared to the magnificent distances in Chicago and New York City. Men think nothing of riding twenty mileson the elevated roads of New York, and ten to fifteen miles on the cable and steam lines of Chicago. There arc seventy trains of steam cars running between Minneapolis and St. Paul dally, and more than fifty trains over the electric lines during the same time. The time of the steam trains Is only twenty minutes, and of the electric only thirty minutes. This Is short time compared with other cities within their own limits. Besides these lines between these cities, there are nearly 200 miles of electric and cable lines

running to all parts of the two cities, and taking in the splendid park system of Minneapolis. These various lines of transporation handle more than 100,000 people per diem as their regular traffic. The addition of 50,000 or 100,000 more would hardly be noticed. “No, Gubbins, you will never be a brainworker.” “Why not?” “Haven’t got the tools. ” — Dansville Breeze.
