The Democrats.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.-The
Democratic Notional committee is just
upon the point of going into session for
the purpose of selecting the time and
place for the next National convention.
There is strong feeling against admitt-
ing reporters, and unless this is overcome
reports of the proceedings will, no doubt,
be late and fragmentary. Chicago people
make unqualified statements that the
convention will go to their city. The St
Louis delegation is more quiet but also
confident. New York men believe if they
had good working delegation here, the
convention could be secured for Saratoga.
There is no doubt that the general talk
this morning favors Chicago and that
there are more believers than dissenters
in the opinion that both conventions will
be held in the same city. They met
shortly after noon to-day at the Airing
ton Hotel and the following representa-
tives were present, the States named:
Alabama, Levy M. Lawler; Arkansas,

with closed doors. When the committee
