What Curtin Wanted.

Washington Special
There is understood to be some GOODNESS be
tween Ex-Governor Curtin and President Cleve-
land, growing out of a recent disappointment
which tie latter encountered 1t is stated. and
the authority is pretty straight, that Governor
Curtin had been urged for appointment to the
Mexican mission. and he and his friends had in
some way been led into the understanding that
he was to have it, but with the proviso that he
should resign within FIVE six months.
1t was found necessary to do something for
General Bragg. however, he kicking
good deal and WAS threatening to break the
Democratic organization in Wisconsin into so
many pieces that it would be i'm possible to get
a Cleveland delegation to the national couven-
tior out of it, There was nothing lying around
loose except the Mexican mission which would
fit Bragg, and it was found that he wouldn't
keep till next July. As il was regarded that
Curtin's friends in Pennsylvania would stick to
and Braeg's friends in Wisconsin wouldn't,
Bragg got the appointment

The Democratic Convention.

Washington Special.
If Mr.. w. @. Cloudy has announced in Chicago
that the Democratic convention will DO held
two weeks before the Republican convention,
and that 1T will probably be held in Chicago,
his statement may be regarded as based on very
accurate information. One of the objects of
his recent visit here was to speak a good word
for Chicago as the convention city, and to
advise the President that many accounts it
would pot be expedient to hold the convention
in New York State. 1t had been supposed that
the Democratic convention would be held later
than the Republican; the leaders here have all
spoken as if that certain. But to hold is
earlier would be to return to the old presidents.
1t formerly the custom for the admins
tration party to hold its conventions prior to
those of the opposition. The different rule
which obtains in the Democratic party organ
ization will permit the convention to be called
earlier than June 9. The six-Inonths rule for
notice does not run in the Democratic national
committee.
