Meeting Last Night of the Delegates
and AIteruntes,

A meeting of the six delegates and six
alternates from the District to the demo-
cratic convention was held last evening
at the office of Mr.. John Boyle, one Of
the delegates. 1t was the first time the
twelve have met together since the Dis
trict convention, and there We're rumors i'm
advance that many matters of interest
would be taken up for consideration. The
gentlemen who attended the meeting, how
ever, are rather retcent today, and insist
that absolutely nothing Of interest was
accomplished. One of the delegates said
that an effort was made to do a number
of things, but the effort failed, and what
the things We're he politely, declined to
say. It was decided to leave for Chicago
on the afternoon Of July 4. Already be-
tween fifty and seventy-five local demo-
Gratis have signified their intention of ac-
companying the delegation to the con-
vention, and the probability is that two
special cars will be reserved for the Wash
ington party, which will include a number
of ladies. Another meeting will be held
LeXt week, and it is thought that then
the two delegates who will go into the
convention first under the call will be Sc
lected, and positions assigned In case all
six are given seats.
