Philadelphia to Host Twelfth Republican National Convention
On Tuesday June 19 in Philadelphia about 900 delegates will be authorized with many alternates and officers. 18,000 attendees will fill the hall, creating a grand ratification event for the McKinley administration. Philadelphia funded the venue with about 100000 dollars, seeking a suitable convention hall as Chicago and New York declined to provide such expense.
