The Coliseum.

workers. Not to be Outdone by the
Missouri metropolis, Chicago has reared
a structure that will not only seat
close to $4,000 persons, but will give
them all promenading space and other
facilities undreamed of by the delegates
to national political gatherings of the
past.
The Coliseum occupies five and a Half
acres of ground between SiXty-secOnd
and Sixty-third streets, and is bounded
en- the cast by Grace avenue and on the
west of the tracks of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad. The Illinois Central ras
a station at siXty-third street, and has
built a special Coliseum station at
SiXty-second street, with steps leading
directly into one of the main entrances.
Between the building and the railroad
tracks are two and 0ne-half acres of
ground which will be used during the
convention as a carriage way. Every
foot of the 2S5,00 square feet Of the
Coliseum will be devoted to the uses of
the democratic national convention,
and those experts who have examined
the plans pronounce them perfect, and
predict that they will stand the model
for all coming conventions. The con-
vention hall proper occupies a space of
$50 by 300 feet at the north end of the
Coliseum. The speakers stand and
platform for members of the national
committee and 400 guests is located to
the east, and Immediately in front Will
be desks for $50 reporters. Directly back
of the speaker is the telegraph room,
with tables for hundreds of instru-
ments. Extending entirely around the
building is a gallery. forty feet wide,
toward which rise the rows of seats in
the great amphitheater.

hat. BOles, of Iowa; Daniel, Of Nir-
ginid: Bland and Stone of Missouri
Cullom, of Illinois; Blackburn, of Ken
lucky RUSSELL of Massachusetts,: Pat
tison, Of Pennsylvania: Campbell, OF
Ohio; Morgan, of Alabama, are all
faNoritc sons, with more or less outside
following, and the adherents OF each
are the kind of men who make polite n
conventions interesting. There were
some who were dissatisfied with the St
Louis convention, claiming that 1T was
too much Of a cut-and-dried affair, but
it is not likely that the delegates to the
Chicago convention will make a similar
complaint. Boies' stock is showing
more huoyancy as the convention ap-
proaches.
The indications now are that If the
unit rule is broken down the free silver
yer delegates will constitute two~thirds
of the whole. This rule had it's incep-
ton iE 1882. After Jackson's nomina-
ton there was contest over the vice
presidency, and III this originated the
famous two-thirds rule which has had
so much weight in determining the &C
ton OF many conventions since 1t is
q democratic institution this two-thirds
rule. No other party las adopted 1t,
but the democratic party has chung to
il for Ga years. No one knows VINO was
it's author. Mr.. Saunders of North
Carolina reported it from the committee
on rules in 1882 in the following reso-
luton:
RES olved, That each state be entitled
il the nomination to be made for the
vice presidency to a number of votes
equal to the number they will be en-
titled to in the electoral college under
the new apportionment in voting ter

president and vice president and that
tWO-thirds of the whole number OF
votes in convention shall be necessary
to constitute a choice" This rule ex-
Senator Martin Of Kansas says must be
changed in the coming convention. II
has been attack I'll in many conventions
by the friends of men and measures
which seemed to have the favor Of a
majority of the delegates. But it has
withstood every attack. 1t was voted
down in the second convention Of the
party, but the vote was reconsidared,
and it was adopted again. In 1874 ii
was attacked, but though there was a
majority of Van Buren's friends in the
convention some Of them held the two
thirds rule to be above partisanship,
end it's adoption by the aid
of their votes defeated their
candidate In 1S48 the rule was in
dorsed by vote Of IT'S to rs, and in
1852 by 273 to 13. The rule does not
apply to the adoption o. the platform,
but controls the nomination of The
party's candidate. So there can be no
issue on it between the friends of sill
