FOR KANSAS CITY
Indications OF Big Attendance from
50, - the North Star State.
Reform Press Bureau,

St. Paul, June II, 1900.
Previous declarations that there is to
be large attendance from Minnesota
at the Democratic national convention,
as we'll as the Silver or Lincoln Repub-
lican gathering, same time and place,
have been more than confirmed to this
point by events of the past week. 1t
looks now like the largest delegations,
official and of citizens, that has ever
gone from the state to a national con-
vention of any party. The following is
all outline of the arrangements:
Commencing with the Democratic
delegation, the state central committee
will run a headquarters special train to
carry the delegation which, delegates
and alternates, will number sc, and all
Democrats of the state or others who
may desire to attend the convention,
with the official party. The train will
be made up Of sleepers, tourist and
other coaches, and will carry band, etc.,
and be appropriately decorated, and will
be run and managed for the convenience
and comfort of the party, going, coming
and while there. The sleepers and
coaches will be used at Kansas City, so
that there will be no necessity for secur-
ing hotel there, except for meals. The
train will be located within easy distance
OF the convention hall. All OF which &C
commodation will be at the lowest pos
sible cost, one price for the round trip
to include all, which price and all par
ticulars will be announced duly by cir
cuiars by committeeman and through
the city and local press. The train will
run special, leaving the Twin Cities
probably early in the afternoon of July
8, and arriving at. Kansas City early in
the following forenoon.
All arrangements for this train are in
charge OF the following committee, ap-
pointed by State Chairman L. A. Ros-
ing: ]. A. O'Shaughnessey, chairman;
T. R. Kane, secretary, and o. A. Rob-
ertson, E. w. Murphy and Geo. S.
Garfield.
The Silver Republican train comprises
like arrangements as to slecpers, tour
list cars and coaches, and will have a
chair car, and with band, other music
and decorations galore will, it is safe
to say, maintain the Silver Republican
record for political "hustling." E. S.
Corser, Minneapolis, has full charge of
train and arrangements, under authority
OF the Silver Republican state central
committee. The train will also run spe-
cial, leaving and arriving in daylight,
and will be located in Kansas City so as
to be used for sleeping purposes, which
is covered in the trip rate. All particu-
lars will also be duly given out by Mr..
Corser, who should be addressed New
York Life building, Minneapolis. Mr..
Corser and committee pledge 200 by
their train.
Minnesota headquarters for both
Democrats and Lincoln Republicans
have been secured at the Coates House.
Speaking Of the conventions, the pro-
gram of the Lincolns is in part pre-
pared. Its membership, being mass
convention, is expected to be upwards
of 1900. Senator Teller will be either
temporary or permanent chairman, and
the prayer will be offered by Rev. DR..
Horace Bigclow OF Cincinnati, and DR..
Howard S. Taylor OF Chicago will fur
nish an original poem.
The coming week will bring many de-
tails of the Democratic convention, now
under consideration.
St. Paul fully sustained Minnesotas
patriotism and Amcricanism in her
management OF the states welcome to
the Boer commissioners. Despite the
fact that the railways refused rates, there
was a goodly representation from the
interior, and the Twin Cities turned out
an immense audience at the St. Paul
