most sOillf by Washington. ON the first
ballot W. i-e voted for 81. Louis and enable
for New York. on the next ballot W lse
changed tO vs. a-hngi0n. and subsequently
he went o. New \ fork. All the other Viz
ginia members stood by Washington as
lon- as there was "a possibility OF the no-
tlonal capital winning.
There Is considerable bitterness of feeling

Illinois Democrats: That ln every canvass
Illinois calls for financial aid ana Sew

THE FIGHT not YET OVER.
But the fight is not set ovor and from the
important fact that The Senate has yet 90
vote upon the question of location, some
Democrats Who icit impeiied tO vote to-day
for Chicago because Of the demand of the
west that the fair must go t0 that section.
are so much dissatisfied That they viii

Republican political machine has de-
ycl0pod considerable ls-night, the distrust
and suspicion of Chicago is rapidly
spreading.
The winning card of Chicago was that
the West ought NOT 90 Bee defeated Dy the
East. That phase Of sectionali5m forced "a
