THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
Meets at Chicago next Tuesday, and the
city is already full of delegates, including
many of the most distinguished men of
the country. Indeed, not only in point of
numbers, but in the size of the men, the
gathering will be an immense advance on
the late Republican convention, which was
remarkable for its absence of men of prom
inence and mark, The proceedings of the
body will of course be watched with the
intensest interest as no one doubts that the
convention has It in its power to name the
next president of the United States, the
only question being, will it have the wis.
dom rightly to use that power.
