WORKING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CON
YENTION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - Delegates
from tins western cities are busy as bees
TO night striving. to secure the honor OF
entertaining the next National Demo
cratic convention. The three principal
delegations, Chicago, St Louis and SAn
| francisco, are sIlCo ii3ett ct success.
All three unite IN declaring tbst the con
vention will go west and assert that the
Cincinnati people realize thst their fight
is an almost hopeless one OF the three
| delegations San Francisco is the most en-
thuslRstic ana il is admitted by the ST..
Louis delegation that tonight tee talk
runs toward the Pacific coast, but
they assert that this is due to the
extravsgant promises that are being made.
The Chlcago delegation are the quietest,
but their plan OF campaign is well defined
and each committee does what is allotted
to it and reports to headquarters without
making much noise. Naturally the rival
delegates are unwilling TO Say much ex-
cept in general way, about their expec-
tations. When asked if they would have
! eighteen votes Mr.. Tarpey, San Francis
co.'s representative Isaid: "Yes, we will
J have more than that"
r The S.. L us people say they expect tt
: be well up 10 the procession and Chicago
r is evidently feared By the others. FIon
2 the best analysis POSSIBLE it would seen
thai S4n francisco expects all the coun'
try west Of the X )cky Mountains and
. number Of votes II the scuth. Il is con
cedt d that Chicago will hsye the vote
D Of New England with the exception q
Prince of massa chusetts, who is 10 f-yJ
E OF ST. Louis. This, together with New
7 and some support from the central sec
S lion will give the lake city good shoWiDi
D to start of with and it expects TO sd
enough votes to secure the convention
| after : ballot or two ct "fi!isl respect" i
} given by committeeD' TO their respec
q tive cities. ST. Louis strength will com
from the Missouri valley ami the southern
' states euI territories, and it is said the
! some Of the southern states favor 81
Louis as second choice at;er San Fran
: cisco.
