To Decide Where to Hold the National
 Convention.
From PRESS NEws ASSOCIATION.

WASHINGTON, Feb 20.-Hotels are filling up with members of the Democratic Ma tional Committee and throngs of politi- clans and delegations that their presence brings. Delegations from Cincinnati, Chi cago, St Louis, San Francisco and Sarato- ga are here to press claims of each of those cities for the convention. San Francisco is developing some unexpected strength and so is St Louis. Chicago comes with a strong delegation and a strong bid in the way of fifth thousand dollars fund to nelp bear the expenses of the convention The outlook seems to be rather favorable for Chicago, though the reticence of mem bers of committees prevents any possibil- ity of getting an accurate estimate of the strength of each city.
