No Local Men TO BE Employed as
DoOrkeeUers at the Convention.
Chicago June 26-The subcommittee
on general arrangements press and tele-
graphic facilities for the national demo-
cratic convention, consisting of National
Secretary Sheerin of Indiana, Mr.. Wall
of Milwaukee, Mr.. Shirley of Louisville
and Mr.. Prather of st. Louis, assembled
at the Palmer house this afternoon at
O'Clock for the purpose OF further consid-
ering the matters under their charge. II
was stated that the applications for press
seats were largely in excess of those of
the St. Louis convention, and that a prun-
ing down to meet the facilities would be
necessary. Sergeat-at-Arms Martin was
called in, and behind closed doors, the
subcommittee discussed and reached a
determination to make up his list of door
keepers, assistant sergeant-at-arms and
all other sub-officials having control Of
entrances, from applicants outside OF the
city During a brief recess at noon, Col.
Prather said: "Col. Martin has the prop
er idea. We do not want people on the
doors who can be approached or who will
utilize their opportunity to admit friends
and acquaintances without the presenta-
tion of tickets. This convention must not
be run by outsiders and the only way
to confne the attendance to those who
are entitled to admission is to put stfan-
gers on the doors who will strictly attend
to their business. I believe Col. Martin
Is right in the stand he has taken, and
the committee will sustain him"
The following official notice was given
to the press tonight:
The committee on press and telegraphic
accommodations and facilities for the dem
ocratic national convention, will make the
assignments of seats on the press plat
form on Tuesday, June 30, and will sub
NIT the result of their labors to the sub
committee in charge of the convention ar
rangements at its meeting Wednesday,
July I, and Immediately thereafter the
newspapers will be notified of their assign
ments s. p, Sheerin,

tee."
