Location OF the Convention.

committee to meet at French Lick
raises again the question of the
location of the national convention
Nearly all prominent democrats in

cause of its central location and
its unequalled telegraph facilities.
1t is worth bearing in mind that
this year statesmen will not be
able to travel on passes, and the
delegates who come from San
Francisco is going to have money
to pay. But 1t is equally agreed
on the part Of democratic politi-
clans at the capital that after the
convention the national headquar.
ters should be in New York. The
main fight must be made in New
York New Jersey, Connecticut and
Maryland. When Grover Cleveland
was last elected the headquarters
were in New York and branch head.
