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

A caroful investigation of the sink

In a vehement speech Mr. Tlllmau
[ o ? South Caiuuua .auulu u the b.u .ut
reported to the Senate, and in passing
made a personal arraignment of Sen- j
ator Morgan forljkilleged lack of cour
tesy .
"The (diarchy which exists la
Hawaii," declared Mr. Tllliuan, "and
which tills hill parpetnatoss, is power
ful and unscrupulous. It is an auto
cracy greater than ever existed out
side of Russia.
"I sympathize with the Senator from
Connecticut In his efforts to secure a
properly appointed judiciary for tho j
islands-- a judiciary not controlled by
tho oligarchy which now lias its grip
on the Islands.'1 I
Referring to an incident which oc
curred tho other day, in which Mr. j
Morgan, of Alabama, declined to yield
to Mr. Tillman to reply to a ntntement
made by Mr. Woleott of Colorado con
cerning the suppressed vote of South
Carolina, Mr. Tillman said:
"1 have felt indignation at tho treat
ment 1 received from the Senator (Mr.
Morgan). Never In my experience in
the Senate have I been treated so dis
courteously by any member \>f the
Senate."
Mr. Morgan endeavored to Interrupt.
Mr. Tillman, but the latter waved him
aside, saying: "I decline to yield to1
the Senator. Tie has puf lilinself oui
bide the pale of courtesy and consider
ation so far as 1 am concerned." lb'
then explained the circumstances of
Mr. Morgan's refusal to permit him to
reply to Mr. Woleott.
"When I arose to explain the situa
tion in South Carolina an it was pre
sented by tho Senstor from Colorado,"
said Mr. Tillman, "the Senator tyrom
Alabama said: 'No, 1 cannot pijrmit
you to speak now. i ll leave you to
light it out some other time!"
"It was the tlivt time In my experi
ence that I had been denied a
hearing in like circumstances. No Re
publican would have denied me the (
privilege, because there Is no n^n on
that side of the chamber so lacking in j
.courtesy and decency."
