Ming In earnest tonight Many OF tho BOOM

All OF tho boomers arc here now except those
,rom Pittsburgh and Detroit. The entire
crowd met in the corridors Of the Arlington to-
night and INDUCED In general handshaking
and good natured hiarity. The political as
poets OF the contest have not cropped out to
sny extent as yet. and will not until oil the
.ommittse nom bers arrive. Then the button
holine and still hunting will begin. and the
more noisy but less concentrated efforts Of the
enthusiastic rivals will be discontinued.
The single political incident Of the fight so
Gar is the announcement by the Chairman OF
IN. Cincinnati delegation. made to-day. that
the Ohio delegation to the Convention will not
nresent tho name OF William Mckinley as a
candidate for President. The announcement
"a regarded as significant even though 1t was
made for the purpose OF pledglng the fairness
Al Cincinnati citizens toward all other candi-
dates as a reason why Ohio should have the
Convention.
The committeeman are all non-committal on
the subject Of location. but II the general drift
Of sentiment is at all significant the only three
eities in the fight are New York. Chicago. and
Minneapolis. and they stand in the competi-
ton In the order named 1t is admitted on all
hands that Chicago is q wonderfully good Con-
yention city. but she is not making much
OF a fight, and so can hardly stand UP
against the determined efforts that the
other cities are making. New York is having
4 big boom tonight and many Of the know
Ing ones in the crowd at the Arlington are pre-
dieting that tho metropolis will win hands
down. The advance members OF the strong
delegation who arrived tonight indicates that
New York is In earnest and. as It will not be
necessary for them to present figures to prove
that It has all needful facilities for making Q
big crowd comfortable. the only task Is to de-
velop the fact that New York really wants the
sas ei and
enthusiastic and promising big things. The
last named city. however is week IN many
