WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 15.-The
meeting OF the national executive COM
mittee OF the Democratic party. set for
tomorrow, has attracted the usual
crowds from cities that want to enter
tain the convention. The choice cannot
be forecasted, but II Is quite certain
that Captain Sheridan will not be able
10 locate the convention in Wheeling.
The four rival cities, New York, Chi
cago. 81. Louis and Cincinnati, which
are applicants for the convention, have
established their headquarters at the
Arlington, and the campaign for the
prize is being carried on with vigor.
The boomers from the Queen City while
not particularly enthusiastic over their
prospects, say they intend to make an
honest EFFORT to secure the convention.
The Chicago boomers have prepared a
great array OF arguments, climatic, ge-
ogrnphical, gastrunomica why the con-
vention should 80 10 the city OF the
lakes.
There Is n disposition among outsid-
ers to inject the financial question into
the fight and to array the free silver
men against New York, but the mem-
bers OF the committee declare that Is
sues nre not involved. To-day the VIC
tory seems TO lie between New York and

While on the whole the cruder forms
