The Lake City Content With Its Fair
The Contest Fairly Opened.

The Contest Fairly Opened.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2).-The contest for
the Democratic national convention is be-
coming quite interesting The attitude Of
Chicago was . subject Of much anxiety
among the competing delegates yesterday
morning. and there was great rejoicing
when it was stated that the friends Of
Chicago had decided to mako no fight for
the convention.
In the Kansas City headquarters several
score Of splendid photos are strung around
upon the walls to give visitors an idea OF
their excellent hotel accommodations.
THAT" said one Of the Kansas City dele
cation, ais our best answer TO the people
who are so foolish as to claim that we have
not hotel accommodations sufficient for
the crowds thatwill attend the convention.
Why. we can accommodate this convention
IS well as any city in the contest outside
Of New York"
Milwaukee. When one Of its members gets
his hands on . member Of the Democratic
committee or any man who is supposed to
have any influence. that man stands but
poor show Of getting out Of head quarters
until he is thoroughly convinced or feigns
conviction.
Accompanying An additional Milwaukee
delegation which arrived yesterday morn
ing were several prominent nlinoisans,
who will labor in the interest Of Milwau'
kee. 1t is understood that Mr.. Cable will
vote for Milwaukee, but that gentleman
gives no positive statement on the subject.
st Paul and Minneapolis headQuar-
ters," is a sign that greeted the passersby
at the Arlington yesterday, and was q
revelation to those who have not forgot
ten the rivalry between these neighbors
at the last census. Now they are working
for common cause and for the time have
pooled issues. Minneapolis, resting So
cure in her possession Of the R-pub-
lican convention, is now doing her BEST TO
help her sister city. Chairman Baier OF
the ST. Paul delegation has with HIM the
mayor of the city and number OF leading
business men. One Of the inducements
they hold out is convention hall that will
seat 1000 people. In speaking Of what
they intended to do in case they should
get the convention Chairman Baker said
they were making the most complete ar.
rangements for the newspaper men.
Congressman, Bynum, Shively and.mos
Of the other Democratic members OF the
Indiana congressional delegation are lend.
ing cordial assistance TO the indianapolis
men who are laboring so earnestly to So
cure the convention for the Hoosier cap
ital. That city guarantees a convention
hall Of 5000 capacity, and posted around
the room are pictures OF the
leading hotels. The hotel and
boarding house facilities are claimed to be
sufficient for the accommodation Of 5000
people. A circular issued BY the delega-
ton sttaes that indianapolis with her 10
railroads, is within few miles Of the
exact center Of population, and is nearer
and has more direct connection with Q
larger number of cities, Of more than
$1,000 population than any other city In
America.
The Cincinnati delegation is not making
very extensive claims. but is quietly doing
much effective work. Theodore Cook Is
the chairman Of the delegation, and ex.
Congr. ,sman Follett pays special atten-
ton TO the visitors who call
The New Workers say that the idea sug.
gested by some persons that they are
really here to boom some other city is all
humbug. They are here. they insist to
work in the interest Of their city first last
and all the time. AL limitations to the
contrary are, they say, the veriest nom
sense.
A large contingent of the New York del.
egation numbering ABOUT LOO reached the
city last evening. A portion Of them are
staying at the Arlington and the remainder
at the Shoreham. Headquarters we're
opened at the Arlington on the second
floor. The arrivals included the Hon.
Richard Croker and Edward Murphy,
chairman Of the Democratic state commit.
