CITIES THAT ARE PULLING
At Least Nine Bidders for the DEM
ocratic Convention.
Delegates From the District VIII He
Chosen by the Usual Method.
Many Candidates.

.-..'So far as l KNOW" said Mr.. James L.
tive in the Democratic national committee
this. morning, mot a single step has been
taken by the local Democrats preparatory
to the reception of the committee in this
|. city the 18th of next month.
II think, however, l shall call a meet
Ing early next week of the leading Demo-
Gratis in Washington, to consider whether
we shall make any preparations for the
coming of the committee other than its
own Officers have made. The national ccm-
mittec has grea deal of business on its
hands. bat very little OF it relates to the
District of Columbia. The manner OF the
selection of delegates here will be left, as
il has been in years gone by, to the local
forces, and there will be no change In the
method OF selecting our representatives IN
the convention
The fight for the convention promises to
be even harder than that made for the X. :
publican convention. At least half a score
OF cities have bid for the honor, and Mr..
Norris is each day the recipient Of addi-
tionai letters. backing up the claim for
recognition from some city.
Among the most active bidders are New
York, Chicago, Cincinnati. st. Louis. San
Francisco, Buffalo, PittsbUrg, Minneapo-
liseand Boston. San Francisco is ma king
as vigorous an attempt To receive the honor
as she made for the Republican convention.
She will send delcgatiO OF lcr most proini-
nent citizens here, and the same induce
ments that were offered the early part Of
this month will be profrered again
Cincinnati is also preparing to send dele
CATION of her citizens, VINO will, they think,
DE sure To carry Off the trophy. New York
and Chicago will offer their stock induce
mcnts. as usual, their size and ready abiiity
to accommodate great throBgs, and their
respective commanding political locations
figuring prominently in their claims.
Mr. Morris stated that the date of holding
the convention would probably he some
time early in July. Many business men
throughout the country" said Tie, have
requested that the campaign br made as
short as possible, on account of its unset
tiing effect on business. They would doubt
less Al ~ to see the date made even later than
July
9 There has yet been no discussion as to
who will be chosen to represent the District
in the convention. Some of the leading
Democrats are inclined to favor the return
OF Messrs. Harry E. Davis and James l..
Norris, who served as delegates in 1892,
bat 10 is generally believed the honor
will be distributed around. Among the
other probable candidates for the places
are ]. Fred Kelly, William Dickson. J.
Noia McGili, Lawrence Gardner, James
Coanoliy, X. L. Baker, Dorsey Cllgctt.
and Michael I. Weller.

He will go direct TO the home of. friend

put on the finishing touches for his battle

down East will come along with the Eng

money mt the ringside when time is called
fur the contest. Indeed, from several wagers
which were laid last night IN local sporting
resorts, 1t looks as II Abbott will be Sigh
favoritc in the betting.
He has met and defeated so many clever
men i'll his time that IL is hard to go behind
him. Hisgame battle with Jack Eberhar ri
will be remembered as one OF the best that
he ever engaged in. The chief trouble with
the EngiIsnnian Is that he is somewhat
slow. His foot movement is open 10 the Sc.
verest criticism, as he is not only slow, but
awkward.
FIGHTS on THE DEFENSIVE.
He is a great defensive fighter, however,
and is considered one OF the toughest men
i'm the business To put out. He Is a perfect
glutton ( or punishment and will stay till he
drops from pure exhaustion.
On the other hand. in LAZY. the English
champion will meet one or the shiftiest
lightweights in this section of the country.
The W ilmingtOn lad has won an enviable
reputation in some OF the hardest battles
man ever fought.
Daily is a perfect specimen of a fighter.
He looks like young Apollo when stripped
for battle, and if Mr.. Abbott shCu.d by
any possibility get the best of Mcnday
nights Iistic argument he will at least
know that he has been to prize tight.
The writer expected to see the Wilmington
lad rcr,irneda winner. In his estimation
