CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-If st. Paul does
not get the national Democratic CON
VentiOn it will not be because her inter
ests are not in good hands. A delega-
ton of prominent Minnesota Democrats
arrived in Chicago this morning. The
delegation expected to catch the 10
O'Clock Eastern train for Washington,
but the morning st. Paul train was late
and they were forced to lay over until
O'Clock, going TO the Auditorium for
lunch. The party consisted of Hon. NJ.
Doran, member from Minnesota of the
national Democratic committee; Judge
Charles Flandrau, Mayor Robert Smith,
Hon. Lewis Baker. j. r. McMurran,
John F. Baker, all of st. Paul, and Mai.
MaglnniS. of Duluth. These represent
alive gentlemen are going to Washing
ton to urge the claims of St. Paul for
the national Democratic convention
The executive committee of the Demo
cratic national committee will meetin
Washington Tuesday next, and the
Minnesota representatives will at once
lay siege upon the body.
"0nr state has always been Repub-
lican," Mr.. DOran said, "but the major
tiles by which it has been carried have
been OF late years constantly decreas-
ing. In off years the state is now pos
sible to either of the parties. The tax
ing of the Democratic national conven-
vention TO st. Paul would not only Off
set whatever advantage the Republic
RI hx-h nI hi
vention in Minneapolis, but it would
WELD powerful influence upon all the
Western states. The West is now the
great factor in the politics OF the coun-
try. 1t is naturally so because of its di-
Yersitied industries, and because the
center OF population is gradually NOV
ing westward. The convention should
come West. There is every reason for
1t and not valid reason against it.
There is no place in the country which
is better prepared to take care of such
gathering than St. Paul, excepting Chi
cago,and Chicago is bound by its worlds
fair pledges not to enter as an active
competi tor. Weexpect to have the con-
We ntion in our city because our claims
are upon reason, and are in cOnsonance
with the best interests of the Democrat
ic party"
Mr.. DOran refuses to talk about the
possible nominee of his party.
Il am interested in the conventions
he said. whoever the nominee, his
chances for election are brighter than
those of any other for years back"
I'VE are going TO W aShingtOn to Sc
cure the national Democratic conven-
tiOn," Judge Flandrau said. "Mavor
Philip Winston, of Minneapolis. has
gone on ahead of us. On, yes, the Twin
Cities may have their own little family
dl1erences. but in mOmenkouS outside
events they are still twins. We win
open headquarters in the Arlington and
Will begin campaign which will con-
vince everybody that we are in the race
We are going to win, too, if cogent
reason goes for aught. With the Demo-
cratic convention held in st. Paul the
Democratic party will roll up majority
In November next, not only in Mime
sofa, but throughout the West. that will
be revelation to the country"
Mr.. McMurran said: I'VE will tender
a banquet to the members of the Demo-
cratic executive committee at Chamber
lain's in Washington some evening next
week, but we don't rely upon thar.
When we show the members of the com
facilities are not eXcelled outside of this
city and present the More powerful
reasons of party policy that urge St.
Paul as the meeting place, we expect
the committeeman to fall right into our
way of thinking"
As member of the national Dem
ocratic committee, Mr.. Doran, who was
power during the administration Of
President Cleveland, is possessed of
great influence among the leading men
of his party. Judge FIandrau. Lewis
Baker and J. r. McAIurran are natives
of the South and are well known to the
Southern politicians, with whom they
are power. As the South has no hone
for the great Democratic gathering. the
influence of these gentlemen will weigh
heavily with the Southern members of
the committee and is expected to pro-
cure their votes fol St. Paul. The Min
nesOta delegation is made UP of the
highest class of representative
"hustlers," and as the individual MEM
bers are full of enthusiasm, they are ex-
pected to make themselves felt i'm the
meetings of the committee, even if they
do not carry off the convention plum.o
