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

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
occasions her ability to entertain ma
tiopal 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 if the con-
vention was again sent there
The arguments in favor of Cincin-
| natl were presented by M E. Ingalls,,
| of the Chesapeake e. Ohio railroad, and
| ex-Congressman Toilette. Both adj
| dressed themselves particularly to the
| accommodations of Cincinnati. A hall,
with 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 making a bid for the Re-
publican convention, but had found the
| price little too high, there was a
| roar Of laughter and applause Polit-
1cally, Mr.. Ingalls, SAID, the Democrats
would not go to ST Louis and fish in
the waters muddied by the Repub-
licans. Chicago, as convention city,
had been given trials and found want
| ing. No ticket Nominated in New York
| could be elected; with the many ques-
| tons 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
! out without local influence Mr. Fol-
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
he assured the committee that Cincin-
Eati offered such a place.
MODEST NEW YORK.
S. Waldo Smith, of the New York
| Board of Trade and TRANSFORMATION
| .. e. Ford, representative of the ho-
tells; L. c. Grain and Col John b.
| Fellows 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 a
| week in New York was a 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. Mayor
| 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 for 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 a
hall with a seating capacity of 2,Ooe
and hotel accommodations for 20, O00
| Replying 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 IL
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 a chance
chateau around which the tide of battle
| ish speech of a preacher
| WHERE DEMOCRACY LIVES.
The committee could not afford to
disregard a single circumstance thai
| 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
| Filley had told the Republican commit
tee that they had the Democrats, but
If the committee would send the Re.
| publican convention to ST. Louis he
would personally pledge 90 900 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 thai
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
