BOOM NEW YORK.
Democrats Hope to Hold Next National
Convention in Eastern Metropolis.

=
New York, Aug. 20. The hope Of the
Commercial Travellers, who are running
the reception to William Jennings Bryan
set for Ang. 30 III Madison Square Gar
den, is that New York as a midsummer
convention cvity will be hit with visi-
tors from the rest Of the country For
years New York has tried in vain to get
a national convention in this city. The
shout has always been against New
York in midsummer as being warm
place. In the face OF this conventions
have been held in Chicago, st. Louis and
even Kansas City
AT the Bryan reception there will be
as many visitors from all sections OF
the country as usually attend national
convention Those IN charge Of the hos
pitality committee and the other com
inittees say they intend TO show the
men from the west and middle, west and
the south that the only place to have a
convention and have it in comfort, with
all the hotel accommodations and con.
veniences, is the little town Of New
York.
'sNie expect 10 overcome Oil objections
to New York, said NilIiaSn HoaQ yes
terdav morning. .Ne will show those
who have been opposed tc us that after
all New York and its reported hot wealth
er and Wall street influence are all a
myth
We expect 50 many ont hi town poll
ticians To be so taken with the city that
when the time comes for The date OF
the next national Democratic convention
to be held, there win be nothing in the
race but New York.
