WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-A meeting of
the executive committee of the national
Democratic committee was held at the
Arlington hotel today. The principal
business done by the committee was the
fixing of the time and place for the
meeting of the full national Democratic
committee, which will determine the
time and place for holding the national
Democratic convention of '92. 1t took
the committee but a very few minutes
to agree upon Jan. 81 next at II o'clock
as the date, and Washington as the
place for the meeting of the full com
mittee. The meetings will be held at
the Arlington hotel, where the recent
meetings of the Republican committee
were held. There were number of
absentees from the meeting of the COM
mittee today. Several of these absentees
were Democratic senators who were in
attendance upon the Democratic caucus
at the capitol. A resolution was passed
requesting the state committees TO fill
vacancies now existing. Before ad-
journing, William Dickson, the member
Of the national committee from the Dis
trict Of Columbia, formally rendered, on
behalf of the other District Democracy,
the hospitality of the city to the full
committee on the occasion of its meet
ing. Mr.. Dickson was delegated to
make the necessary arrangements for
the meeting.
The s.. Paul Delegation.
ftor n wary, Lotto brnolyFoSt thic morn
ing the members of the st. Paul delega-
ton and their friends once more took
up tile fight for the convention. The
national executive meeting at IL O'Clock
brought together the men they were
after, and the battle was on in
earnest. Michael Doran called Col.
&. A. Br0adwater into the bay window
and then Mayor Winston took him aside,
and the Montana member gave them all
the points that he knew of personally
that could help them. Mayor :Smlth
leaned up against the cigar stand and
buttOnhOled Secretary Sherin. Col.
George Il. Jingle was talking with his
old friend Lewis Baker and others, and
incidentally referring the compliment
extended by Z. II. Kelly, who supported
his own delegation in SO from Cali
fornia, and hoped to return the cOmpli
ment. Capt. Castle, Col. James Nc
Naught and Maj. Boyd Barrett, of Da-'
kOta, were introducing other members
of the delegation to the committeeman
and Col. J. }. Hasler, the Dakota en-
bryO railroad king, did some tall

Hon. NJ. DOran, Col. BroadWater and
Don NJ. Dickinson, from Michigan,
formed another interesting group. Gen.

gave the headquarters of the committee
an appearance like home, which recalls
Maggie Murphy'S "Organ in the

the most active workers of the delega-

calm manner that he assumed during
the DOnnellyPiOneer Press suit, when
he was busy making it hot for the Min

cOherentS,' as Col. Charles Johnson
coled the Alliance party in his recent
speech. Royal McMurran raised a
laugh by his remark that

Keeping Up His Record.
Il bought two white hats and two
canes at the st. Louis convention. / an

What do you think of st. Paul..
chances, Mr.. Doran?" was asked hin
after the adjournment of the committee
We'll, he answered, 1.-The chairman
stated during the meeting that he ha(
received applications from various cit
les for the convention, but there was M
discussion about it. The most of tn
members present are men from tn
East, who easily could be called tOgeth
er, and their first choice is apt to b.
New York Oh Boston, because they ar
nearer their homes. a second chOic
might be in the West, and then ST. Pau
has as good a chance as anybody. Som
Of the members already stand committe,
to various cities. OF course, they d.
not want to express themselves at thi
time. 1t would be no trouble to locat
the convention, but Chicago does no
want it, preferring to give some othe
city chance. We can't tell anythin
about it now"
The Delegation Pleased.
