CH1oAGos CLAIMS.
The Chair announced the next business In or.
der to be the hearing Of the representatives Of the
several delegations who desired to present their
views as to the proper place for holding the con.
Vention.
Mr. M. W. Fuller of Chicago, was thereupon
introduced as the representative Of that city, He
argued that Chicago had hall which for conVe-
nience could not be surpassed In any city in the
United States. It could comfortably seat ten
thousand persons, and there was in addition to
the seating capacity ample standing room for ten
thousand more. The transportation Of every
member Of che committee with his family would
would be betrayed by the citizens Of Chicago as
well as their subsistence as long as they desired
to remain, BE spoke Of the equal and pure tenn.
perature Of Chicago, and claimed that its general
advantages could not be surpassed. He was au.
thorEed by 23 Of the leading hotels Of the city to
state that their would be no increase In their
rates during the convention,

claims Of Baltimore. At this point Mr.. Camp.
bell OF West Virginia, moved that each PROPOSE.
ton Of the several delegations be submitted In

~ THE ADVANTAGE OF ST. LoUIs
Ex Mayor Brown Of St. Louis, being introduced
had a prepared statement setting forth the ad-
vantages of that city. He thought that as Mis-.
souri, Ia doubtful State the National Democratic
Convention sheuld be held there. He called at
tentioh to the fact that 81, Louis was most cen.
trslly situated, easy OF access, and had abundant
railroad and other facilities. The hotel accom-
modaiions were referred to as amply sufficient to
properly entertain the delegates and their friends,
he gave assurance that thete would be no In
crease In the hotel rates, and that every expense
deemed proper by the committee would be- de.
frRyed.
WHAT PoRKoPoLm WILL DO.
Ex. Representative saylor Of Ohio. presented
the claim Of Cincinnati in very eloquent man.
ner. In extending to the committee cordial in.
vitation and request that they hold the next con.
vention in Cincinnati, he did not wish 10 detract
Rt all from any other city, but he added, what
ever advantages either Of the cities whion have
been heretofore mentioned may possess, Clncin-
natl can duplicate them In some respects, and in
others more than duplicate them. The facilities
by which CinciBnah can be reached are not sur
passed by the facilities Of any other place. 30 far
as the accommodation Of the convention is con-
cerned, he maintained that no other city pre-.
sented the advantages Of Cincinnati. Luxury
and comfort, he said, could be extended 10 all
OF the delegations Music Hail. the building
which II Is proposed to occupy has recently been
erected. II will seat 4,50O and has an entertain.
ing capacity OF 7,OOO He spoke Of several ad
joing halls which could be appropriated and
used as headquarters and committee rooms, He
was authorized to say to the committee that Gin
cinnsu will bear all the expenses, provide head
quarters and committee rooms for every State,
free Of charge, and do all the necessary printing
The gentlemen Of the committee would be
properly entertained and the expense Of convey
iua. them and their families 10 and from the city
would be borne by Cincinnati. And he said It
was the intention Of Cincinnati to make the Ma
llonal Democratic Convention No. Conven.
