Have the Convention In n Larger Hall.
A very thoughtful young Democrat yes
terdav handed the Dispatch the following
letter. in which he makes suggestion that
will be very heartily endorsed:
To he Editor Of he Dispatch:
think speak for many citizens when I
say that hope the place for holding the
congressional convention will be changed
from the assembly-room of the Ballard
House to the Opera-H House. or some other
large hall, so as to provide seating-room
for citizens who may desire to be present
The nomination of a Democratic congress
sional candidate is something which con-
Germs all men who vote with that party,
and should be done in the presence OF all
who are concerned. II the convention is
held in a large hall and many spectators
are present there will be more en-
thusiasm and more interest in the
nomination than if it is held in
a small hall with only delegates and alter
mates in attendance. Besides. the gentle
men who make the nominating speeches
will have larger audience to address. and
the delegates will feel that the eyes or
their constituents are upon them. The
presence of the public is always desirable
where legislation is projected or enacted.
Recognizing this, all deliberatiye bodies,
whether councils OF legislatures, provide
galleries and lobbies for tho accommoda-
ton of the public, aud see no good rea-
son. therefore, why this convention should
not be held in the same public manner. /
earnestly trust that the District Commit
tee, who have the matter of the conven-
tion in charge, will consider the advisa-
bility Of holding it in larger place;
