washington, February % The next
national Democratic convention will he

This was the decision Of the Democratic
national committee which met at the
hotel Raleigh today to fix the time and

connected for the honor Of entertaining
the convention and the poor showing she

,nepts was the political effect the holding
of the CON vention in that oity would have
upon the German .AUerican voters, who

pit bl can party.
Il seerued to be taken for granted by
at least Two speakers that Bryan would
be re-nominatsd and that the Chicago
plutform in substance would be re-
sffirmed. Opposition to trusts, expansion
and imperialism together with every
mention of Bryan and the Chicago plat
form aroused enthusiasm but, during the
opsu session Of the committee there was
no allusion to the issue of free silver.
