NEW DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION HALL AT KANSAS CITY

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,
n non-partisan organization, which
has placed all of its property and APP
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 n municipality of
little more than 100000 people, fears
were entertained that it would be un-
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 comforta BILE
shelter. The local committee, some
weeks ago, divided the city into 12 dis
tricts, and each of these districts is di-
vided into 90 parts; and for each of the
subdivisions precinct captain was ap-
pointed for the purpose of ascertaining
how many visitors could be enter
tanned by private families. The result
of this canvass demonstrated beyond a
doubt the city's capacity for housing
and feeding more people than ever at
tended national convention.
Inquiry among the select" of both
parties discloses that the country at
large will take deeper interest in
the Kansas City convention than in
the republican gathering at Phila-
delphia.
"The Philadelphia convention" said
| member of the republican national
| committee to the writer, will be in
the nature of ratification meeting.
President McKinley's nomination is a
| 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 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 Ad-
miral 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, 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cratic two-thirds rule is not repealed.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 ex-
tinction demanded in fiery language.
But the republicans will also advocate
control of capitalistic combinations;
hand consequently the great. Issues be-
tween the parties will be, the cur
rency 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.
vi think, however, that unless Dewey
displays strength, of which there is
not now any evidence, both conven-
tions will be social gatherings Of
some magnitude, and nothing more"

His opportunities to make lifelong
enemies are quite as 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.
AS soon as the local committee decid-
ed that the convention was to be held
an the Exposition building, Mr.. Wiswell
went to that city and consulted archi-
tects regarding the Encouragement OF
the auditorium of the structure for
convention purposes. Committee rooms
had to be added to the conveniences of
the hall and the seating capacity en-
larged to accommodate 10000 dele
gates and visitors. Desks and seats in
abundance had to be rented, telegraph
instruments and telephones installed,
and provision made for 600 newspaper
correspondents and artists. In addi-
tion, Mr.. Wiswell is responsible for all
the funds collected for convention pur-

poses, including 100000 subscribed by
the city of Philadelphia.
A week or more before the conven-
tion 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 ether 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, 250 pages,
200 messengers and 200 janitors and
housecleaners. The Philadelphia city
government will, in addition, furnish
500 police officers to assist in preserv-
ing order without and within the build
ing.
The supplying of badges is another
onerous task incumbent upon the SER
geant-at-arms. According to Mr.. Wis
well the delegates and alternates'
badges of this year are things of
beauty. They are medals, on one side
of which there appear the profiles of
Linco'n, Grant and Mckinley. On the

other side is engraved the Liberty ben
and Independence hall. The medals
will be suspended by n broad ribbon
from pin attached to the coat. The
badges of the employees will be quite
plain and inexpensive. Admission to
the convention hall will be by ticket
only, whether the person be delegate,
guest or employe. This ruling necessi-
tated the printing of an enormous
quantity of tickets, delicate duty to
which Mr.. Wiswell gave his personal
attention.
Col. John !. Martin, of st. Louis, will
be sergeant-at-arms of the national
democratic convention, which is called
to convene at Kansas City, Mo-, July
4. The colonel is an experienced hand
at managing big gatherings. having
served as sergeant-at-arms for num-
ber of state conventions and for the
democratic convention of 1896. He be-
gan his labors before February and
had made considerable progress to-
ward getting the big construction hall
in order for the nations democracy
when the fire of April destroyed the
building completely. For day or
two it looked as though the convention
would have to be held elsewhere, but,
with characteristic western enterprise.
the people of Kansas City concluded to
rebuild the hall in bigger, better and
handsomer fashion, and assured Col.
Martin that it should be finished by
July 3. 1t will, of course, be impossi-
BILE to have the interior completed by
that time, but everything will be in ap-
ple-pie order for convention purposes.
The stage will have seating capacity
of 1000, and on the arena floor will be
placed chairs for 5000 delegates, alter
mates, state committees and prom
inent party men. On either side and in
front of the stage will be the desks for
600 working newspaper men and ar
lists. For the other thousands who will
attend the convention great tiers OF
temporary seats will be built entirely
around the arena In circus fashion.
