ton in wages, which he thought might
follow, created little stir in labor circles
here. In regard to it, Secretary William
Martin, of the Amalgamatcd association,
said don't think there IL any lcgiti-
mate decline in prices that would warrant
20 or even 10 per cent. reduction in
wages. Iou see, II is Just about the time
for fixing the workers scale for the year.
The manufacturers bear the market, and
then, by making a fuss about the decline
in prices, they get lower scale than they
would otherwise. In the spring and sum
mcr prices 90 mp, but the workmen don't
get any benefit OF the advance"
EX-Mastcr Workman George Dovcy, of
the Knights of Labor said: 81 guess there
is decline in prices; but OF course don't
know TO what extent il is legitimate. II
would take u mighty big drop to warrant
any such cut in wages rs either 10 or 20
per cent. Still, nearly all really know
about the matter is what ! have seen In
the papers, and Ms no formal notice OF such
n reduction has come yet, don't like TO
say that the prices have been forced
down.

SOMETHING MORE.
konic Democrats Thinking About yot.
ing for Reconsideration.

Special Dispatch TO the Appeal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-Therc was a ru-
NOR in circulation this afternoon TO the
effect that Speaker Carlisle would send q
letter to the House asking that his case be
rcopcned. II can be stated on very good
authority that he contemplates doing
nothing OF the sort. II would be an un-
wise and at the same time highly
improper thing for him to attempt TO in
fiucncc the action Of the committee either
way, and several Democratic members are
this evening seriously considering the
question OF voting for the reconsideration
on the report OF the elections committee.
They think that as a matter OF cxpediency
the House should give Mr.. Thocbe, the
representative Of the labor party, all the
show that is possible, and there is no doubt
that ON Monday the Michigan members,
some from Indiana and elsewhere will vote
for a reconsideration. Should they be able
10 carry the point Il will probably be the
ruin ol Mr. Crisp, who will ut once DE UNI
der the suspicion Of having suppressed
come information.

DrnocRATic CONVENTION.
IL VIII More Than Likely be Held in
New York city.

WAsmNGroN, Jan. 2l.-Ihat the Demo
cratic national convention will he held in
New York city is now reasonably certain.
The President Is in favor Of such decis-
ion. Tho work that will be performed by
the Democratic national committee, which
IL 10 meet in this city ON Washington's
birthday, will be largely OF pcrfunc,ory
nature 80 iaras the selection Of place for
holding the national convention is con-
ccrncd. Tic President is not alone in the
view oi the necessity for holding the con-
vention In the metropolis. Most Of the
party leaders believe that the best way Of
insuring the Empire State 10 the Demo-
cratic column Is by selecting New York
city as the place 10 begin the campaign.
On request Of committee from Cincin-
natl, Senator Beck called upon President
Cleveland TO ascertain II he had any prefer
cncc as 10 which city the convention should
be held in. lie replied that the President
insisted that the convention should 90 20
New York city, and, as a consequence, Mr.
Beck said, the Presidents wishes would
undoubtedly be respected, and "all our
people" would vote in favor Of holding the
national Democratic convention In that
city. BY "all our people" the senator
alluded TO Democrats generally. This ex-
preston OF Mr.. Clcycland's preference
rather put dampcr ON the Cincinnati
gentlemen, as they believe that " Mr..
Cleveland really expressed a preference
for New York city, the convention will 80

Senator Voorhees, told q member Of the
committee from Cincinnati that no matter
what the President preference might be
IN regard 10 this matter, tho convention
would be held In a western city, and that

Chicago, ~. Louis and Cincinnati In the
order named. Other Democrats who are
interested In the convention declare that

will be held In New Yoak city, and will
