THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Some Moro Speculative Talk About

nc.
Next Tuesday evening, at 1880 o'clock, at
Willard Hall, the Democratic Convention
to elect two delegates to represent the Dis
trict Of Columbia in the National Demo-
cratic Convention, will DO called to order
by Mr.. VIM. Dickson, chairman Of the Cen
trail Committee.
The delegates, GO in number, arc nearly
all business men, and are gentlemen of good
standing in tho community, and promi-
nent Democrat predicts that tho conven-
ton will be in every respect an orderly one.
There will be no wrangling, though there
is spirited contest being made by several
gentlemen for the honor of election as dele
gates
The fight for tho Craftsmanship Of tho
convention is no less interesting and excit-
ing.
For the former honor Mr.. VIM. Dickson
is unquestionably in the lead, and no one
doubts his election on the first ballot. AT
this time It looks as If he would receive
fifty and probably moro votes
Mr.. Edward d. Wright, the young South
Washington lawyer, stands second in tho
race, and his election will result on the
first or second ballot
Messrs. Luttrell and Hewitt, both excel
lent gentlemen, will each poll handsome
complimentary vote. These two did not
enter the contest until quito late in tho
fight.
The Craftsmanship of the committee will
90 TO either DR.. Baldwin or Mr.. Pierce
Bell. Either would do honor to the position.
There is no fight over the secretaryship,
Mr.. John II. Doyle Of tho Fourth, Mr.. Wat
son Boyle of the Seventh, or Mr.. Il. ID.
Lynch of the Nineteenth District will DO
chosen. Frank Morgan, whose name
has been mentioned in connection with the
position of secretary, positively declines to
be candidate.
