were placed in nomination amid the
cheers of their respective partisans.
ONE FOR CHICAGO.


ONE FOR CHICAGO.
Chicago had but one speaker, Judge
Adam A. Goodrich, who made a very
brief but strong presentation for the
city of the lakes. Chicago, he said.
had entertained the world at the
worlds fair, and had proved on many
occasions her ability to entertain ma
tional conventions. A reference to
Chicago's modesty, however, provoked
a great laugh. Judge Goodrich re-
ferred to the fact that no Democrat
nominated at any place except Chica-
go since the war had been elected, and
he predicted success again il the con-
vention was again sent there.
The arguments in favor of Cincin-
natl were presented by NJ. E. ingalls,
of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, and
ex-Congressman Toilette. Both ad-
dressed themselves particularly to the
accommodations of Cincinnati A hall,
with a seating capacity of 5000, was
ready for the convention. The rail-
road facilities were abundant, and the
hotel accommodations ample When
Mr.. ingalls, said that Cincinnati had
thought Of mailing a bid for the Re-
publican convention, but had found the
price little too high, there was
roar of laughter and applause Polit-
ically, Mr.. ingalls, said, the Democrats
would not go to ST Louis and fish in
the waters muddied by the Repub-
licans. Chicago, as a. convention city
had been given trials and found want
ing. No ticket nominated in New York
could be elected; with the many ques-
uons to be settled, it would be suicide
to go to New York. The conventions
should go to neutral ground, where the
gold bugs of the East and the free
silver men of the West could fight it
yIytf
lette emphasized the great Importance
of the convention this year and the
necessity of holding it where it would
be free from outside influences, and
ne assured the committee that Cincin-
rati offered such a place.
MODEST NEW YORK.
S. Waldo Smith, of the New York
Board of Trade and TRANSPORTATION;
). E. Ford, representative of the ho-
tells; L. G. Grain and Col John b.
feloWS presented the claims of New
York. Smith created much amuse-
ment by his statement of the numerous
advantages Of Gotham, each one of
which, he said, was the greatest and
largest and best in the world He
reached the climax when he said
week in New York was liberal edu-
cation, If not superior to any college
curriculum in the world. A million
people could come to New York and not
be noticed, and leave and not be
missed. He concluded his appeal by
saying: "Come to New York and we
will do you good" The double mean
ing placed on this sentence brought
forth cheer after cheer. Mr.. Ford
made a very witty speech.
EX-GoV. Francis, Gov. Stone. Mavor
Walbridge and Senator Vest spoke for
st. Louis. The former said ST. Louis
was prepared for all the expenses of.
the convention and of the members Of
the committee. All that would be ask
ed Tor In return would be the honor Of
the presence Of the convention Warm
Western hospitality would be given
them, and doors and hearts would be
opened to them. st. Louis offered
hall with seating capacity of 1900
and MOTEL accommodations for 10000.
Reply1ng to Mr.. Smiths boasts of New
fork's superiority, he said he was pre-
pared to produce proof that st. Louis
had the largest depot and the largest
brewery in the world. Senator Vests
appearance on the platform was greet
ed with cheers. When he said he had
no criticism to make of Tammany Hall
because the claws of the Tammany IT,
ger were always red with the blood Of
the Republican enemy. the New York
ers went wild with applause. But he
warned the committee that the fate of
battles often hinge on trifies light as
air. Waterloo was won by chance
chateau around which the tide of battle
flowed; Blaine was beaten by the fool
ish speech Of preacher.
WHERE DEMOCRACY LIVES.
The committee could not afford to
disregard single circumstance that
might make for victory. To hold a
convention now meant certain defeat
Illinois and Ohio were hopelessly Re-
publican; Missouri, where Democracy
lived, was the place to hold the con-
vention A month, ago Chauncey I.
Filley had told the Republican commit
tee that they had the Democrats, but
IL the committee would send the Re-
publican convention to st. Louis he
would personally pledge 10000 majority
in Missouri.
They've got EN-" said Senator Vest;
they've got 'em like the boy had the
hornet, and if you now give us the con-
vention there'll be screaming by that
boy for his mother to come and take
'em off,
This concluded the speeches. The
hall was Immediately cleared and the
convention proceeded to the balloting.
