w ASHINGTON, Jan. lU.-1OIlSu III lOI
the first time the st. Paul delegation
feels like saying there is light ahead.
The storm of the preliminary campaign
is clearing up. and the worst that now
may be said is that st. Paul is among
the leaders and will rank we'll upon the
opening ballot The fact is that the
brief and effective campaign made by
the delegation has compelled general
admiration, and at the same time has
attracted the fire of every opposing city.
1t is regarded as one of the most prom
ising signs of the situation that in every
locality the fight is conceded to be be-
tween some one place and st. Paul. A
prominent Tammany man from Gotham
eontidentially told Chairman Taggart.
of Indiana. tonight that he thought it
was between New York and st. Paul.
Gov. Peck thought 1t lay between Mil
waukee and st. Paul, and Tom Carter,
the interchangeable Kansas City man, said
1t was Kansas City or ST. Paul beyond
doubt, This will make it evident that
the SANITY City is the second choice of
many who will not concede its winning
ability. and upon this fact the delega-
ton builds its hopes. But still there
can be nothinglike certainty. We have
scared everybody. but beat none. New
York is, or pretendS to be, hot after the
pluR:s Its delegation arrived with
hurrah tonight. and the Tammany
crowd, headed by the big sachem, Dick
Croker, attracted general attention.
Dan Lamont headed the deputatiOn
from the Gotham clubs. and the repre-
sentation of the
Cleveland and Hill
lieutenants was complete. Cincinnati
also came in tonight, and its delegation
talked loudly of being the beneficiary
of secret committee combination that
was invincIble. Detroit finally showed
up, and the list of cities is complete.
The struggle is terrific, but the har-
mony of party feeling ard friendly strife
never for moment impaired. Boomers
from one delegation fraternize with
the others, and chatting is constant, but
good-natured. The indianapolis crowd,
headed by Secretary Sheeren,o the COM
mittee, made a bad break today by declar-
ing for Cleveland, but it was promptly
checked, and the cry for the nominee
substituted. In this respect st. Paul
has been singularly fortunate, and the
friends of all factions. whether of Hill
or Cleveland, German or Gray, Boies OF
Palmer, feel they will receive friendly
treatment and fair play i'll Minnesota.
l. is also believed that, to a great de-
gree, the Minneapolis difficulties are be-
ing overcome gradually. The Clarkson
iptarviavU hoe bod itc affoot auar-,yvboro
TODight's Star gave a half-column
showing how st. Paul would care for
the newspaper men, and to-morrow's
Post will contain an interview of which
much is expected. 1t sets forth that st.
Paul will especially provide for the
army of correspondents, and so enter
tain them that when they leave their
papers will ring with praises of Sanity
City hospitality. This evening the fol-
lowing dispatch was received and will
appear in full in the Washington pa
perS:
A Ringing Telegram.

So the campaign goes merrily on.
Heretofore the st. Paul men have been
extremely conservative, and have stead
lily looked upon the doubtful side. 1t is
believed not all error has been commit
ted through nyer-confidence, and not an
iota of work neglected through belief
it was not necessary. That this city aud
that city was not in it has never for a
moment been accepted, and the cam
paign has been prosecuted on the theory
that every city was in it, and every city
had an equal chance. Thursday will
decide the wisdom of this belief, but no
event can efface the good work already
done in behalf of st. Paul, or discount
the able efforts of fhp oOmmiftao
