KANSAS CITY WINS
In the Contest For the Democratic
National Convention.
TO BE HELD THE FOURTH OF JULY

In the Vote For the Place of Meeting
Milwaukee Mustered Only Nine
votes-The Convention Hall Will
Seat Twenty Thousand People.
Washington, Feb. 23.--The next ma
tional Democratic convention will be
held at Kansas City. Mo-, July 4. This
was the decision of the Democratic
national committee, which met at the
Hotel Raleigh yesterday to fix the time
and place for holding the convention.
Milwaukee was the only other city
which competed for the honor Of enter
tanning the convention, and the poor
showing she made when the vote was
taken (the result being Kansas City
40; Milwaukee, 81 caused general sur
prise. The claims of the rival cities
as to hotel accommodations, railroad
and Geographic facilities were present.
ed In open session by representatives
Of each city, and subsequently in ex-
ecutive session. Governor W. ]. Stone.
in behalf of Kansas City, and the ma
tional chairman. e. G. Wall, on behalf
of Milwaukee, explained the financial
inducements which the city he repre-
scented was willing to make. Each Of
ferred the committee $4,000, but In
addition Kansas City was willing to
furnish hotel accommodations for the
members of the committee and the
hall, with decorations and music free
of expense to the committee. One OF
Milwaukee's strongest arguments was
the political effect which the holding
of the convention in that city would
have upon the German American
voters, who were represented to the
committee as wavering IN their ALE
glance to the Republican party. 1t
seemed to be taken for granted by at
least two speakers that Bryan would
be nominated. and that the Chicago
platform in substance would be reaf-
firmed. Opposition to trusts, expan-
sion and Imperialism, together with
every mention of Bryan and the Chi
cago platform, aroused enthusiasm,
but during the open session of the com
mittee there was no allusion to the
issue of free silver.
Convention Hall, where the national
Democratic convention will be held, is
situated four blocks from the retail
district of Kansas City. 1t has been
classed by travellers as one OF the
largest and most perfectly constructed
auditoriums in existence. The build
ing was erected at cost of $225 ,OOo,
which was raised entirely by public
subscription. 1t occupies piece OF
ground 314 by 200 feet in extent, is
two stories high and is built Of native
stone, cream brick and terra Gotta.
The building is of bridge construction,
without column, the roof being sup
ported by great steel girders that span
its 200 feet of breadth. The total seat
ing capacity is nearly 10000, and with
standing room the building is capable
of holding more than $4,000 people.
The arena seats 1000. 1t is estimated
that the hall can be emptied at the
rate of 5000 people a minute.

hoarse.
Following the parade, the exercises
in connection with the presentation by

Henry tablet occurred. Orations were
made, and the patriotic sentiments ex-
pressed were received with round after
applause. Admiral Dewey was sur
prised and gratiaed with the warmth
Of the reception given him. He said
that he had heard the West Virginia
hills bore patriots, and now he knew
it to be true.
The only public utterance Of Admiral
Dewey was when he handed the sword
to Lieutenant John s. Doddridge, who
was an ensign on board the Boston at
the battle of Manila. He said he felt
great pleasure in participating in
ceremony in honor Of brave young
naval officer.

Detroit on his way to his command in
California. He expressed the opinion
that the backbone of the rebellion in
