CONVENTION CITIES.
Large Cities Make Big Fights to En-
tertaIn Political Gatherings.

Large Cities Make Big Fights TO En-
tertaIn Political Gatherings.
It now looks as though Chicago
and Kansas City will fight It out for
both the republican and democratic
national conventions Of next year. In
connection with the fight betwaen
Kansas City and Chicago, the places
where past conventions of the two
parties have been held may prove
interesting.
Four democratic national conyen-
tions have been held in Chicago, that
of 1864, when Mcclellan was nomi-
mated; Of 1884, when Cleveland was
nominated the first time; Of 1892,
when he was nominated the last time
and of 1895. when Bryan was first
nominated
Though 1t may seem strange at the
present time, no city Of the country
has entertained so many national
conventions as Baltimore. In 1882
the first national conventions were
held by American political parties.
and II is a striking proof of the cen
trail location of Baltimore at that
time that the three conventions of
that year were held in that ely. The
last convention held in Baltimore
was in 1872, when the democrats
met there and nominated Horace
Greely.
Philadelphia has had four of the
larger national conventions. The
Wings met there in '1S4S, and the
republicans in 1856, the first year
they had a presidential ticket in the
field. Then came a long interval,
the republicans meeting there in
1872 to re-nominate Grant. The last
Philadelphia convention was the re-
publican convention of 1900, which
nominated Mckinley and placed
Roosevelt on the ticket as his run
ming mate.

Included in the cargoes have been

nothing of dolls sufficient in num-

by il, and he had met all the subse
qUent trains during the day with like
result till it was too late to return.
OF course, he could not telegraph to
her at the Grange.
Next morning he had again met the
first few trains at Waterloo, but there
was no Viola, and he had then rushed
about in cabs, inquiring for her at
hotels. There was just a chance that
she might have come by an alterna-
tive route to PaddingtOn, after naming
the wrong terminus in her letter. Find
ing no trace of her anywhere he had
returned to the village by an after
noon train and on reaching the station
had heard a confused account of what
had happened. Mrs. Brandt had fur
nished further particulars of Radford
Shones visit of inquiry and, hearing
of the investigators OMNIBUS insinua-

accent the discovery of the sunshade

had been drowned on her way to the
station. but for the sake of her fathers
peace of mind and to save her name

his cross alone.
