 CHICAGO, June 17-Thres Kentucky Dsm- ocrats are here looking for accommodations for the Breckenridge club of Lexington and Louisville. A Democratic club in Indianap- olis has had its representative in Chicago for some days on a similar mission. A party of 15O Democrats from St. Louis will also be here in a body and as the sth of July draws near it becomes apparent that this city will be overrun by clubs. among which the Randall organization of Philadelphia will be conspicuous. It has been positively agreed by the local committee having charge of the preparatory arrangements for the convention that the doorkeepers will be from Pinksrtons force, who will be paid for their work and who will admit no one but those holding tickets. There will be eleven thousand seats in the hall. Of the $20, 900 necessary to cover all expenses about $17.OOO has been subscribed up to to-day.
