CHICAGO. June ID. - The Democratic
National Convention is showing the first
signs Of becoming a thing of life. It's start
has been made, and by tomorrow it Will
begin TO grow until by next Tuesday the
biggest convention the Democratic party
has ever held will be full grown.
Mr. Boies's managers from Iowa started
the convention for their favorite early this
morning by establishing their quarters at
the Palmer House, and were kept busy
during the day sending out documents and
pamphlets, showing the great popularity
and safety of their favorite son. The Iowa
people are inclined to believe that the con-
vention will be a long one, and that Boies
will be nominated on the seventh or eighth
ballot.
The Cleveland men are not to be outdone
by the Hawkeyes and they have established
similar quarters at the Grand Pacific
where two handsome young ladies are hard
at work sending out letters, circulars and
articles to various weak delegates who, II
is supposed are to be won over If the proper
evidence is shown that Cleveland IS the
strongest candidate.

Only one Hillite has so far put in an ap-
pearance and he is Charles +. Peck, OF
New York But this individual has enough
enthusiasm for half dozen men and is
loudly proclaiming the virtues OF David IS.
and his ability as vote getter.
The National Committee will be the first
organized body TO get TO work and through
its subcommittee on arrangements, 1t is
already preparing for the accommodation
and seating at the convention OF the dele
gates. None Of the National Committee
men except Secretary Steering and Treas
urer Canda, Of New York, are here and on
them and Richard Bright, the sergeantat
arms, who has acted in a similar capacity
several times, devolves the work OF making
everything ready for work. They spent a
considerable part of the morning at the
Wigwam overseeing what was in progress.
The members of the National Committee
will begin arriving tomorrow, aud on Fri
dav there will be a full meeting OF the
Committee on Arrangements of the Nation
al Committee at which the plans for the
convention will be definitely settled upon
and approved. The representatives here
Of the Arrangements Committee have quite
a little fight on their hands with the local
Democratic organizations over the diStri-
button Of tickets to the convention and the
chief work OF the meeting Friday night
will be 10 settle this matter.
The National Committee Of the Demo
cratic party has much less important
functions to perform than the Repu blican
National Committee so far as respects the
organization of the convention, and for
This reason it is not so essential factor in
the Presidential fight. The temporary or
ganization of the Republican National
Convention is quite an informal affair in
volving the grant by the committee OF
prima facie title TO seats. The temporary
organization OF the Democratic Convention
is very informal in its nature, and thu
National Committee does not undertake 70
pass upon the credentials of contesting del
| egations, that being left to the whole con-
vention through its Committee on Creden-
tials
The National Committee has appointed a
subcommittee, Of which John &. Haskell,
| OF Columbia, 5. c., is Chairman, TO select
| a temporary Chairman, temporary Secre-
| tarv and other subordinate officers for the
| convention. This report will be presented
10 the full committee which meets Monday
afternoon for approval and with the
| adoption or rejection Of the suggestion OF
| the National Committee OF the convention
of officers 10 the preliminary organization,
will end practically the political work OF
| the committee.
The convention will then itself decide
/ upon the manner iD which its affairs shall
] be conducted, and will name the necessary
] committees. Thus for the only names men
! toned around headq uarters for temporary
| chairman is that Of Adlai +. Stevenson, OF
! Illinois, and Ex-Governor Campbell, OF
| Ohio. but Henry Waterson, OF Kentucky,
! has been spoken OF for the honor in the
/ 4 IL TT,4I ar,4fr- ~
! delegates aud National Committeeman the
field is wide open for speculation.
| The Boies boomers say il is first place
| for Iowas favorite or nothing. They dc
not want second place on the ticket for
| him, having design 70 send him 70 the
| Senate when the proper time comes II ne
| be not the Presidential candidate, and
| have already selected the person who shall
place their candidate in the field. He is
! John Z. Duncomoe, Of Fort Dodge, Iowa
| and arrangements are being made for q
| demonstration in favor OF Governor Boies
which will open the eyes OF Democrats
| from the South and East who have heard
! Of Iows's Democratic Governor in desul
| tory and casual way only and have not re
| garded him as Of the National reputation
| necessary for a presidential nomination.
! The so-called Hill Big FOnr''-Colone
! Richard Croker, Boss" Mclaughlin, Ed

probabilities are that the entire opposition
