July 4th. tola was Clio decision of tlto Demo iratle National oosnnntteo which mot But ttio Hotel Itutoitrh to tlx the lime and place fsf /h aiding the convention. Milwaukee was ""Jho only other city ^cmvpetin^r for tho honor of entertain ing <t he convention, anil tho poor show ing the made when tho vote was taken <'the roe ulL being Kansas City 10, Mil < w.*ukee ft), caused general surprise. *.vrt8 'i^alma of the rival cities as to ho fvOl accommodations, railroad and tele- i graph facilities wore presented in open session by representatives of each city and subsequently in executive session. ex-Governor Stone, on tyohalf ox Kan Mas City, <and National Committeeman, K. C. Wiftl, on behalf or Milwaukee, -explained the financial inducements which the city he represented was wil ling to mako. lOach offered the coin ?nittee $50,000, but in addition Kansas> City wa s wtilliag 'to furnish hotel aq c om mod a>t ions for t'ho members of the oomijiititee and tho hall with decora- | lions and music 'free of expense to tho ?committee. One of Milwaukee's strongest argu* monts was tho political effect which tlbe holding of the convention in that city would have upon the Germ-ail jVaverican voters, who were repre.sent <vl to the committee as wavering in their allegiance ?o the Republican par ty. It seemed to he taken for gran-ted Jay at leaet two spea kaivs that liryal^ would ibe re-ncxminatOvl and that tho Chicago platform in s\ibst.anoo would be reaffirmed. Opposition to- trusts expansion and imperialism ingf'ther wiUh every mention of Hryan and tho Chicago plafonm aroused enthusiasm, but during tho open session of tho committee there was no allusion to free silver. Three dates fnr holding *tfne vouvention were propped, May ih.h, by Mr. Tow-nsond, of Oregon; June 14, by Senator Tillman, of South Carolina: and July 4th, -by Mr. <MoGraw, of West Virginia. A speech by ex-Senal^r Gor inan, in favor of 'holding to precedent and nannmg a date later than that for the conversion of the party in power, had considerable influence in causing liv.lopendenco Uay to bo chosyn. After the comani'trtee had selected the "Gate City" of Che West, the Kan saw City boomers held a jollification meeting in tlhei^ rooms at the Raleigh. Kx-Governor Su>hc addressed the gath ering predicting that those who attend ed. tiho coavcndou would depart with praises upon their lips for the hospi tality they hfid received and t'hat the nominee of the convention would he the victor at tho polls In November. The eomimlttoe was called to order by Senator Jones, chairman, livery State and Territory was represented, olt'her by t'ho committeeman or proxy. There were strong Indications -when the comimitteo mot t'lxat Kansas City would be chosen. 'E'.vch city was al lowed thirty minutes to present Its claims and tho two rival cities argued In rotation. James A. Reid, prosecuting attorney of Kan?as City, made the opening speech presenting Ahe claims of the metropolis of the Southwest. The In vitation :he pfCRCij'ted, he said, came not- only from the citizcns of Kansas City, but from tho unfaltering trium phant Democracy of Missouri. Kansas City has thirty nine lines of railroad, and her telegraphic facilities are excellent. Her hotels are move tflian ample. Outside of the great ho tels}" of New York, there were in Kau jx a City seven hotels that will rank as high as any In the United Suites. The/ committee, ho said, Should have the! fljsf rlwyirr tri r^mtH at -these hotels, tjr^ delegates the second choice. H o rates, he promised, would not be yjwsed. Mr. Reld was especially ful some in bis eulogy of the convention il. whic'hi he said, would seat i!5, 00 iveoplo. .. The tollowlng caJl was issBld in the temoon : "The National Democratic commlty tee having met In tfoe city of Washing ton, on the 22d day of February, 1900, has appointed Wednesday, the Fourth of.JLuly, as the time, anil chosen the clty*l5f City, Mo., as the place of holding the 'National Democratic Convention.
