Sixty Thousand Visitors.
Judging from the number of hote
and boarding house reservations and
from past conventions, the addition te
Baltimore's populatio during the week
of June %, will be not less than 10000
This estimate is the minimum here.
The more enthusiastic are counting on
nearly 100000 convention guests. The
special committee, which Investigated
the city's hotel and boarding house
facilities and rates has reported that
all strangers can be taken care of;
and visitors who are unable to find
accommodations are asked to COM
municate with the general convention
committee.
The hotel committee has found that
practically all the space in the larger
hostelries would be occupied by the
delegates and alternates and others
actively engaged in the convention.
This committee, however, has pre-
pared 2 list of boarding houses and
private residences where one may
find accommodations on almost any
scale desired
Baltimore has beenputting her house

ready for callers Many of the streets
leading from the convention hall have
been repaved The street railway crm-
pany has laid special tracks and loops
to handle the crowds and ordered 60 |
new cars as cost of 100000.
When the city first began to prepare
for the convention, plans were sug-
gested for the erection of street arches
and for decorating the public buildings
with colored bunting. Later this idea
was rejected because the committee on
decorations concluded that it would
attain better results by combining lis
decorations almost entirely to lights
and flowers and living green.

BALTIMORE, June 25.-The same

displayed in going after the demo-
cratic national convention is evil
been made here for the comfort and
convenience of the convention guests
and the convenience of the political
leaders who will name the party's next
candidate for president. AS soon as
Baltimore was chosen for the conven
ton city, the Maryland legislature
authorized the city to expend $4,000
in repairing and relighting and dec
Grating the streets and buildings. This
was exclusive of the 900 appropria-
ton for remodeling the Fifth Regi-
.ment armory where the delegates will
assemble.
The committee that went to Wash

more before the democratic national
committee was composed chiefly of
bankers and business men. One of
their first arguments was the present
alton of certified check for 100000
as a guarantee that Baltimore would
do all that she promised. The commit
tee agreed to furnish one of the best
halls in the country, to re-
model it as the national committee

carries unusual weight and he has won
the confidence. respect and regard Of all

the courage Of his convict ions, and have
never known any man so entirely free
