4 At this point a recess was taken for fif-
teen minutes, after which Senator German
4 arose to make, as he said, an appeal to those
/ who like himself, had voted for San Fran
cisco. He had been of the opinion, as others
had, that by going to California, which was
part of the territory acquired by a Demo
cratic government, and which owed its
/ birth to the Democratic party, the political
4 sentiment in favor of the Democracy should
/ be considerably strengthened The Demo-
/ Gratis had carried California at the State
election, and the Republican majority in
! Oregon had been reduced, and he had be-
leyed that by holding the convention at San
Francisco the Democracy would surely gain
the electoral votes of the Pacific States.
He found, however, that many
Democrats, whose views deserved con
slderatiOn, were of the opinion that
if the convention were held there, some of
the abest and most important members of
the party would be unable to attend. For
this and other reasons he appealed to the
delegates from the Pacific States to yield
their preference and join with him in voting
to hold the convention at a more accessible
point, 1t had been intImated, he said, by
our open enemies, or by our indiscreet
friends, that the vote yesterday was evi
dence Of the existence Of an anti-Adminis-
tation feeling in the committee.
NO OPPOSITION TO CLEVELAND.
1t was not true, so far as he was con-
cerned, and he did not believe it to be true
Of any one else. 81 am an Administration
man, ;" he said; "If | am not I should like
to know who is" Mr.. German allowed it to
be known, however, that he still considered
wisest and safest to hold the convention
in July.
Mr.. Scott followed and urged that the
time for holding the convention was of
more Importance than the place. He con-
sdered 1t of vital consequence that the con-
vention should be held at an earlier day
than had been agreed upon.
MR. WALSH CHANGES TO ST. LOUIS.
The balloting then began. When Georgia
was reached Mr.. Walsh rose in his place
fnd stated that he had thus far voted
teadlly for San Francisco, but he was sat
aled that that city would not be selected.

aator German, in accordance with his re-
marks, voted for st. Louis, and was fol-
owed by Others who had previously voted
Chicago, including Messrs Scott and
rubb, Of Delaware. When Illinois was
cached Judge Goudy thanked the commit
ee 1or the consideration shown Chicago,
" SAID he was quite willing that the CON
Mtion should go to st. Louis. which, he
hd, was the commercial capital of South
IN illinois. Changes to St. Louis became
Ty general, and it became evident that
LOUIS would be the choice of the COM
hittee
