to partake OF their hospitality.
They promised to pay all tho expenses of
the committee, using "all" in its most am
plltied sense. There would be carriages
dd ib. [aughterl, and two additional
telegraph wires would he put up between
san Fra ncisco and Chicago, which, with
those already in use would accommodate
all the business that was offered. He did
not claim that San Francisco should have
the convention because IL could accommo-
date 1t, or because its people were hospita-
ble, or because il had the finest climate in
the world, but he did claim that this Dem
ocratic body, sitting as the custodian of the
interests of the Democratic party, should
take into account tho fourteen votes which
were trembling in the balance, and that
San Francisco should have thoughtful con-
sideration at its hands. IApplause.l

At the conclusion of tho tenth ballot, no
choice having been made, the committee
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The committee had hardly adjourned for
the day before the rival delegations re
sumed work The strength shown by San
Francisco as the balloting progressed was "a
surprise TO people generally, as it was be-
lieved that the ranks of its supporters would
break after the first three ballots. The
principal delegations are all confident to
night, and each expresses hope in the
ultimate success of its Own'city. So far as
can be learned, no combination has been
formed
A rumor is in circulation that an effort
will be made tomorrow to secure recon
sideration of the date fixed for the conven-
tiOn, but it is thought doubtful whether
such an effort, if made, will be successful.
1t is asserted by many people that San
Francisco has pOlled the largest number of
votes that it will get, but this is denied by
the friends of the Pacific coast. Among
those who maintain that San Francisco's
will henceforth decrease, the
opinion is generally held that the outlook
faV0rs Chicago.

NOT A DEFEAT OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The selection Of July 3 for the date of
the convention, as proposed in the National
Committee by Senator German instead of
May % as proposed by Mr. Scott,
Is not as some would have IL, a defeat of
the administration. Mr.. German is as
much q friend of the administration as Mr..
Scott and besides the committee passed
upon the reasons presented, and Mr.. Cor
man presented better reasons than Mr..
Scott. His chief and best reason was that
tho Democrats ought TO wait TO see the
hand of the Republicans as disclosed In their
and platform and then take
advantage of this knowledge. His reasons
themselves TO the members OF
the committee, especially this one, hence
the selection.
NEW YoRK's NEW MEMBER.
The election of William Steinway, the
Now York member of the Democratic
National Committee to-day, seems merely
temporary expedient MIR. Steinway, said
tonight that he will 60 abroad In May and
may not return until the campaign is over.
He could not say whom he would select as
lis proxy in the committee. Il would not
however, be Richard Crooker, as has been |
nor the head OF any other organ |
zation.
