The Place Where the Next
Democratic National Con-
VentiOn Will he

Held.
Washington, 33.-The selection OF
Cincinnati by the national committee
as the place for Holding the demo-
cratic presidential convention is gen.
orally considered an snti-Tilden VIC
tory. No such Issue Was openly
made, bat it is known that Tilden's
friends would have greatly preferred
81. Louis or Chicago, and the selec-
ton of either of these cities would
have been claimed as a Tllden SUI
cess. 1t is also learned, tonight,
that the JeWett influence has been
quite potent in the decision OF the
contest in favor of Cincinnati. Isaac
Eaton, the committee member
from Kansas, who was at hrst
for st. Louis, finally voted for
Cincinnati upon the receipt OF tele-
gram from his brether-in-law, Jewett,
requesting the change in the interest
of his (Jewet.'s) presldential aspira-
tions The Ohio delegation return
home to nightin a special car, which
bears upon it's side the following in
scription: 'Circinneti-Her conven-
ton gave you the last democratic
president, and will give you the
next"
10 the democratic convention, Stet-
son Hutchins advocated Washington
as the place of holding the conven-
ton, and az informal la lot resulted:
Cincinnati, IA; Chicago, 10; st. Louis,
4; Washington, 4; Baltimore. 3; Phila-
delphia, Jackson, Miss, Eugene
City, and blank, each. The formal
baIl1t resulted: Cincinnati, 29; Chr
cago, s; st. Louis, 4; Washington and
bank, I each. The selection OF Gin
cinpati was made unanimous. a
committee was appointed to confer
With the Cincinnati committee on
arrangements. There was some die
eussion about ha.monizing New York
factions, but with no result. The
committee will prepare a call to-
morrow.
NJ. w. Fuller presented Cnicago's
claim. She had hall of fine quality,
capable ofsesting 10,000with standing
room capacity for 10000 more. The
citizens would deiray the transporta'
ton snd board expenses OF each
member of the committee, and his
family, and the iwenty-three leading
hotels would not increase the rates.
The air was pure and the temperature
even. Col. Dorsey presented Baltl-
more, and ex-MsyGr Brown, St.
Louis. He thought Missouri,
being the doubtful STATE, St.
Louis should have The convention.
st. Louis was centrally situated with
abundant facilities of all kinds. There
would be no advance in hotel rates,
and the committee would deiray all
expenses that seemed proper. Sayler
elcquently invited the committee to
Cincinnati, which had advantages of
other cities and some which they had
not. There was the Music Hall with
capacity CT 4 500 seat, and the
entertaing capacity of 1000 GIN
cinpati Woald bear all the expenses
of the convention; and as Cincinnati
named the successful man in 1856, it
would name him in 1880. Eugene
City, Oregon, was advocated by
White KERN very humorous speech.
He said there were no artificial facili-
ties to be had in Eugene City, but the
members could find excellent camp
ing grounds, and advised them to
bring a good supply of blankets.
William L. Scott invited the COM
mittee to Philadelphia. The Cen
tennial Hall was the proper building,
and would hold 10000 people. The
other attractions wOro great and there
was no city on Gods footstool which
go much needed the convention to
enl'gtt3n and civilize it.
