conventions create scarcely a ripple of
excitement so far as numbers are con
cerned They can be accommodated
with ease. and even swallowed ND in
the vast throngs without being partic.
ularly noticeable
Chicago and New York are the only
cities in America where this condition
prevails. New York being too far TO
one side of the country. Chicago thus
becomes the inevitable convention city.
Chicago makes no particular effort TO
obtain great conventions. knowing that
they belong to her as natural right

is about 300 square miles. For twenty |

back ten or more miles inland.
The growth of Chicago was one of
the world wonders OF the nineteenth
century. In the year 1890 when the
first national political convention In
the United States was held. that of
the Anti-Masonic party, Chicago was
merely a collection OF log houses. with
less than hundred inhabitants.

convention. which was the first to be

nominee being the second great figure
developed by the civil war. Ulysses 6.
Grant. Beginning with 1880 three con
secutive conventions met In Chicago.
That OF the year mentioned nominated
James A. Garfield. In 1884 James c..
Blaine was named. while In 1888 the
convention placed Benjamin Harrison

About the only commemorative affair
that Chicago ever went after with

was the Columbian exposition or
Worlds fair of 1893 Chicago wanted
the exposition just TO prove 10 New
York, her chief competitor, that the
city by the lake was also place not
to be sneezed at. New York, which is
TOO big TO care penny about such
things as general rule, pouted and
sulked for several years because the
western wonder carried off the Worlds
fair prize.
The exposition really hurt Chicago
more than 1t helped and for the rather
paradoxical reason that the city was
well enough known already and did
not need the publicity attending
successful fair. Chicago's continued
growth was inevitable anyway. and
the exposition merely demoralized mat.
