to convene at Kansas City, No., July
4. The colonel is an experienced hand
at managing big gatherings, having
served as sergeant-At-arms for num-

democratic convention of 1895. He be-
gan his labors before February and
had made considerable progress to-

building completely. For . day or

with characteristic western enterprise.
the people of Kansas City concluded to
rebuild the hall in q bigger. better and
handsomer fashion, and assured Col.
Martin that it should be Anished by

NEW DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION CITY

His opportunities to make lifelong
enemies are quite ~ good as his
chances of making friends among the
leaders OF his party.
The republican national convention
will meet in Philadelphia June 10. Date
and place were selected by the national
committee last December, and ever
since that time George N. Wiswell, of
Milwaukee, Wis, who was appointed
sergeant-at-arms OF the national com
mittee, has devoted almost all of his
time to the work assigned to him, for
which he will receive no compensation,
except expenses actually incurred in
the performance of his duties.
A soon 40 the local committee decid-
ed that the convention was to be held
in the Exposition building, Mr.. Wiswen
went to that city and consulted archi-
tects regarding the arrangement of
the auditorium OF the structure for
convention purposes. Committee rooms
had to be added to the conveniencea of
the hall and the seating capacity en-
larged to accommodate 10000 dele
gates and visitors. Desks and seats in
abundance had 20 be rented, telegraph
Instruments and telephones installed,
and provision made for 500 newspaper
correspondents and artists. In addi-

ONE BRIGHT RAY.
The Gauge H the People Has .
Chance Against That Of
Special Class.

It is declared by Mr.. Bryan that the
senate OF the United States is not def
fnitely lost to the people, and that if
he should be elected in November with
the almost certain democratic gaine,
the free silver force in the senate
would certainly be considerable and
in the end decisive. The ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat, a rabid gold standard
organ, comedies this much, and that
Mr.. Bryan's election will be a serious
breach in the gold standard intrench-
ments and would give prestige to
further efforts to break them down
completely. The majority against sill
yer in the existing senate is not over
seven. Of the 80 senator's whose
terms expire March next, II are re-
puhlicafs, including one each from
Kansas, Montana, West Virginia, Ore
gon, Idaho. Nebraska, Wyoming and
Colorado. Two gold democrats go out
at the same time. The democrats are
likely to fill two of the three vacancies,
those in Delaware and Utah, and Bry-
ans election will bring in democratic
vice president, who would vote in case
of tie. Thus faE the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat.
people of the western states have
reached the conclusion that they are
misrepresented in the senate. Colora-
do, Wyoming, Kansas, Montana, Ida
no and Nebraska are represented by
six senator's, who were elected on the
pretense of being bimetallists and who
voted for the single gold standard, the
placing of paper money in the hands
e -
bank trust controlling all the business
of the country. There is no question
that the people of each and every one
of these six states are absolutely ops
posed to the things for which their
six senator's voted, and sthe evidence is
accommodating that they are taking ex-
ceedingly great care not to permit any.
of the six to further misrepresent them
after next March. The change of these
six states alone will cut the gold ma
jority in the senate in two, without
taking into account gains that msy be
made in other parts of the country.
Kentucky has already elected = silver

the city of Philadelphia.
A week or more before the conven-
ton assemblies, the sergeant-at-arms
has to be on hand to instruct deputies
in their respective duties. Upon his
aides will fall the responsibility of Sc
lecting the lesser employees. but should
any of them fail to perform their du-
ties the blame will be laid at the chiefs
door. To handle the crowds at Phil
adelphia will require two shifts of as
sistants, one for the day, the other for
the night sessions, the total number
forming good-sized army. There will
be 500 doorkeepers, 1, 500 assistant SER
geants-at-arms, 500 ushers, ESQ pages,
200 messengers and 200 janitors and
housecleaners. The Philadelphia city
government will, in addition. furnish
500 police officers to assist inspreserv-

onerous task incumbent upon the ser

beauty. They are medals, on one side

hall will answer every reasonable re-
quirement and will be especially con-
venient as far as committee and retir-
ing rooms are concerned.
The headquarters of the democratic
national committee will be in the mag
nificent house of the Kansas City club,
non-partisan organization, which
has placed all of its property and ap-
purtenances at the disposal of Chair
man Jones and his colleagues. The
various candidates for the vice presi-
Dental nomination will have their
headquarters at the leading hotels.
Kansas City being municipality OF
little more than 2OO, 900 people, fears
were entertained that it would be I'M
able to take care of the thousands Of
visitors who usually follow national
conventions, but assurance has been
given to Col. Martin that no one need
go without good food or comfortable
shelter. The local committee, some
weeks ago, divided the city into IL dis
tricts, and each of these districts is die
vided into 20 parts; and for each of the
subdivisions precinct captain was ap-
pointed for the purpose of ascertaining
how many visitors could be enter
tained by private families. The result
of this canvass demonstrated beyond a
doubt the city's capacity for housing
and feeding more people than ever att
tended q national convention.
Inquiry among the select" of both
parties discloses that the country at
large will take a deeper interest in
the Kansas City convention than in
the republican gathering at Phila-
delphia.
1.-The Philadelphia convention" said
a member of the republican national
committee to the writer, twill be in
the nature Of a ratification meeting.
President AcKinley's nomination is
foregone conclusion, and the platform
has been constructed by the .adminis-
tration's acts during the past three
years. Therefore the vice presidency
is all that is left for the delegates to
settle, and that will not be a difficult
task. The democrats, on the other
hand, will have two candidates for the
presidential nomination. I'm of the
opinion that Col. Bryan Will be NOM
mated on the first ballot; still ADJ
miraI Dewey is an uncertain quantity.
Should he be backed openly by Nc
Lean, his Ohio brother-in-law, and the
Cleveland element from the Atlantic
coast states, q deadlock may result.
especially if the time-honored demo-
cratic two-thirds rule is not repealed.
Then, too, there promises to be some
fun over the platform. Trusts will be
made the keynote of the democratic
platform, and their regulation or exc
tinction demanded in fiery language.
But the republicans will also advocate
~ 70 ~
and consequently the great issues be-
tween the parties will be the cur
reney and colonial questions. If there's
going to be any fun at all in this
years conventions, it will be at
Kansas City. over the money plank.
I think, however, that unless Dewey
displays strength, of which there il
not now any evidence, both conven-
tions will be social gatherings OF
some magnitude. and nothing more"
