That City Wants National Democratic
Convention Held There Sure.
New York, Jan. 6.-That a represen-
tative delegation of New Yorkers will
appear before the democratic national
committee on January 18th to present
the claims Of New York fer the nation
al convention is assured Even those
whose business interests will not allow
them to leave the city express the
warmest interest in the movement.
With an amount OF money to offer
the committee equal to- that of Chica-
go or st. Louis, the convention is as
sured to New York, because the natur-
al advantages of this city are so far
superior to those of any of her com
petitors that no discussion on that
point will be required.
Sentiment among members Of the
democratic national committee is uni
formly favorable to New York. They
have committed themselves, virtual
ly, to support of this city, If the fnan-
cial inducements are sufficiently lib
erA. Considering the monetary ben
ett that will result from holding or
