is close and debatable ground, and they
want the encouragement of the conven-
uon. Ihey propose to carry the State, II
possible, but the convention would en-
courage and uplift the Democrats.
Inc claims of Kansas City were first
presented by Mr.. Putnam, who said with
the exception of New York and Chicago,
there was not city in the United States
that enjoyed the facilities Kansas City
enjoyed to enable the representatives of
the Democracy TO assemble. The hotels
were amply able to accommodate all, a
convention building would be erected,
ana, II required, according to plans APP
proved by the committee.
senator Vest also spoke for Kansas
City. New York, he said, did not need
TINS convention, and should not have it.
New DIRK was too great financially,
numerically and politically to need the
ald OF any convention, and besides, New
J orh had Iammany, and Tammany was
larger than any convention. Talnmany
mad no division about the platform or
candidate. Laughter Chicago did not
need the convention, and should not
nave 1t, nor should it go to Milwaukee,.
81. Paul should not ask for it. One of
the charges made by the Republicans was
that the Democratic party camped one
year where the Republicans camped a
year before, and 1t was time the Demo-
Gratis should follow their own policy.
MIlwaukee's claims were first advanced
by Governor Peck Of Wisconsin,. He
came from State where Democracy had
been walked upon for forty years, that
he knew of But things were different
now. There was not Republican in
Wisconsin's Capitol building from dome
TO basement, except one colored man. and
he was kept for luck. Laughter Mayor
Somers Of Milwaukee and Mr. Donnelly
of Wisconsin also spoke for the Cream
City.
The claims of New York We're pre-
scented by James Breslin, Comptroller
Myers and Colonel John r. Fallows.
NJ +. Tarpey of California spoke for
san francisco, portraying the advantages
which would accrue from the selection of
that city, and was followed by James V T..
Coleman, who spoke in the same vein.
If there was to be a campaign of educa-
ton, said he, it must be campaign of
enthusiasm. Let the convention come to
California, and lesson will be taught to
the boys now growing up who wanted TO
be Democrats.
Hon. I. w. Lawler of St. Paul was the
first speaker on behalf of that city and
caused a telegram to be read, signed
Jointly by the Mayors of St. Paul and
Minneapolis, making every requisite
pledge for the accommodation of the con-
vention and the entertainment of the
visitors.
Ex-Congressman Arlson also spoke
Tor st. Paul saying: 1.-The Democracy of
the great Northwest had been overlooked
by the Democracy of the Nation long
enough. There is an Alliance move
ment in the Northwest. Eliminate some
OF its characters and the Alliance is but a
protest against Republican misrule.
From the Alliance ranks is being re-
cruited our party. If the Democratic
ranks are to be recruited it must be from
the Northwest"
