WASHINGTON. Jan. II. - The two
great Northwestern rivals for the con-
ventiOn, St. Paul and Milwaukee, the
only cities yet represented by delega-
tons, put in an active Sunday together.
About all that can be accomplished
thus early is to create q favorable at
moSphere for the political lungs of the
committee to mhale, and to that end
the two delegations are directing Them
selves. Milwaukee is just across the
hail from st. Paul at the Arlington, and
the best of friendly feeling prevails be-
tween them. The main point just now
is to work up Northwestern sentiment
for the first heat of the race and settle
upon the city in the grand finale. Fiftees
members of the committee are
now present in person or by
proxy, and the others will come
in one by one until Tuesday evening,
when the entire forty-eight will be
here. The main end of the Milwaukee
delegation will reach here Monday, and
Cincinnati, Kansas City and New York
are scheduled for Tuesday morning.
The committee will meet on Thursday,
and arrangements have been made fore
TWO days session, though it is believed
all the business may be settled up in
one. On Wednesday the executive COM
nittee of the National Association OF
Democratic Clubs will hold a session.A.
I. Ankeny, of Minneapolis, the Mime
sofa member, IS now here to participate.
st. Paul has the largest delegation in
the city, and the various local papers
comment faYOrabiy on their fine appear
ance and their general air of hustlers.
Their headquarters are at the Airing
ton, but delegation, composed mainly
of d. Aberle, c. NJ. Foote, w. Ii. Lynne
and c. +. Baxter, have large parlor at
the Ebbitt, and are Hospitality entertain

tells. a public pledge is given by both
Democrats and Republicans that st.
Paul tenders her offices as host for the
Democratic party, and will not in any
way prejudice the cause of any candi-
date or influence the course of The con-
vention by local publication or demon
stratiOn. This attitude pleaseS all par
ties and wings, and has made st. Paul
popular in sections where other cities
are first choice. Gossip today puts New
York out of the race, but this is prema-
ture, and the best Informed hold both
New York and Chicago as unknown and
formidable quantities. The New York

che West was the sage advice of a New York
Democrat of sporting proclivities when
speaking today of the location of the ma
tional Democratic convention. whole col
umn could not describe the situation better
No one believes that New York is sincere in
her efforts to secure the convention. No one
believes that she wants it. and no one be-
leyes that she can get it if she does want it.
The purpose of Richard Cookers bluff is
manifest. The failure of the New York Re
publicans to get the worlds fair. or,
perhaps 1 might say the half-hearted
and Indifferent effort which they
put forth in that direction, I'M
undoubtedly injured the party in the recent
state campaign. Mr.. Croker feels that
sentiment exists among a certain element of
city Democracy that New York, failing to get
the fair, ought to have the national conven-
ton, and ne believes if these elements are
not placated by an apparent determination
OF his party to respect their wishes, that the
Democratic party viii be the sufferer in the
coming autumn election. But Mr.. Croker

and a big one. But they know it would
not be appreciated in New York, that
people living within half a dozen blocks of
the convention hall would not be aware of
its existence; that there is no great popular
demand for it. and that it is mere selfishness
that inspires the movement on the part of
the New Workers to demand what they really
do not need. and what any of the contend
ing cities of the West would make a great
sacrifice 10 secure. You may set it down as
a fact therefore, that New York is mot in
tt unless the conditions change materially
from what they are at present. The West is
intensely jealous of the East. That fact was
plainly indicated when the Republican com
mittee met here, and the Western Democrats

appearances the serious contest will be linn

St. Paul and Kansas City the leading favor

The telegram closes with a comDl
mentary allusion to the fight being made
by st. Paul and Milwaukee. The
World of today has four-column arti-'
Gle on st. Paul, very flatteringly show
ing up the city's great resources and
capabilities. Tomorrow morning the
st. Paul delegation will effect perma-
nent organization and select az execu-
tive committee. From that hour there
will be no leisure for any member until
the deciding vote is cast.
