Tue talk about the best place for the National
Democratic Convention next year IL not as pre-
mature 80 some persons might imagine. All
last winter II was discussed, and even that early
people we're here trying 70 impress the Demo

claims OF this and that city. Some people think
cisco, and Is viii be remembered that in 1883
the metropolis Of the Slope came very near
bagging the convention. Those who want 70 take
. long and pleasant trip are atil urging san
francisco, but the fact that the difference iu
time. between the East and West rs 80 great may
operate against the chief city OF California. The
hugwumps are worked up over the proposition
% have the convention meet In New York. They
fear that local Influences. and particularly Tam
many Hall, would have too much 20 do With the
results. The convention Is not likely 70 20 10
either San Francisco OF New York, and AZ ST.
Louis had 10 In 1883 it win hardly meet Ia that
