lutte control over the distribution of the
tickets somewhat embarrassed the
Chicago people, as they had raised their
funds with the idea that the subscribers
should have q certain number of tickets
each. -
When they a~scertained the decision
of the committee in tn 8 regard, tele.
grams were sent to Chicago, and from
the replies it seemed probable that the
whole question would be left to the
Chicago committee here. Cincinnati
showed considerable strength. Her
supporters loudly proclaimed that Sen.
ator German, whose influence was CON
sidered great, had announced for the
Queen City after New York was out Of
the race, and the Cincinnatians declared
with confidence that the fight eventu-
ally would be
Cincinnati and Chicago.
The st. Louis contigent however, claim
that when the break comes, St. Louis
votes will be sufficient to give her the
prize. Thirty minutes are to be
allowed each city in which to present
their claims. Ex-Governor Francis
Kannard, Mayor Wallbridge and
Mayor Stone will present the claims Of
st. Louis; Colonel John r. Fellows and
others will present Now York; Adam

work early in the morning at the Ar

was that her vote was not unlikely to
disintegrate rapidly. The West and
South were almost solid against the
