They had an appointment at 12 o'clock, Dut were a few minutes late, They marched to the White House by twos from Willard’s, They Were received by the President in the East Room, and were introduced by W. McDonald, one of their party. Afterall had been introduced by name ‘and by title or occupation, Mr, G. H. Allen, presi- Gent of the Kansas City board of trade, addressed the President as follows: ‘MR. ALLEN'S REMARKS. “Mr. President: This delegation represents the merchants, manufacturers, physicians, bankers, and men of business generally, of Kansas City, who have turned aside from our ordinary dally. vocations to be the bearers to yourself and Mrs Cleveland of this invitation, over their own signa- ‘of 21,000 citizens of the City of Kansas, in the State of Missouri, expressive of their earnest desire that you visit their city atguch time during ‘the coming autumn as may best sult your own Conventence and the exigencies of the great pub- lic trust resting upon you. The invitation cannot be regarded as coming only from Kan. sas City, as that city is the product and oul wel of a fon which extends northward to the great Feed in extent, and has for twenty years n pouring out prodigally its savings of money and a noticeable Percentage of its most energetic, capable and pro- gressive citizens. We believe that a somewhat extended and leisurely visit to this great country on the of the Chief Executive of the nation 5 entirely in the line of plain public duty, and will be more than this, a Dl ih the end to this region and to the nation, You are not only the Executive of the nation, but the recommendor of its legislation,and in the exercise of your functions to a great degree @ joint lee Tam therefore charged with the responsibility of pressin, mn your attention for lous consideration the desirability of such ex- vended and leisurely trip through that wonderful country, to which our own city of Kat prac- tically’ two cities in one—is the main gateway. May we go hence in the justifiable expectation that we may have the pleasure and privilege of seeing you at our own city? ‘THE PRESIDENTS REPLY, ‘The President replied: Mr. Allen ana Gentlemen: I should not be frank with you it professed that the invitation finich Zou have just now, so. pleasantly and cor. dlally extended was the first intimation I have had Of your desire that I should see you at your beautiful home. I have thought that any trip fhat Tight make bringing mein your neighbor- hood would be incomplete and wanting in ad. Vantage and proft if it ld not include a short stay in your active, stirring city. Iam specially pleased that the invitation which you so kindly extend to me has no partisan, or political feature, but that the parties to it are the people of Kansas City, desirous of exhibiti to their servant and the Chiet Magistrate of ail the people what they have done and contributed toward the national greatness and Prosperity, of ‘which every American citizens orshoula be proud. And the pleasure which the non-political feature of your invitation gives me ts increased by the fact that Kansas City is represented here by the Parties who are actually engaged in the diverse enterprises which have made your city great and prosperous, and that every interest which she fosters has a place in the delegation I see before me. I want to see your city, and I can discern no opportunity to do so unless I extend the trip al- Tondy determined upon, and include Kansas City among the places I shall visit. ‘The consideration I have already given the subject and the heart iness and sincerity of your invitation induce me to accept it at once. My time upon this con- templated trip will, of course, be limited, and many places which { should be glad to see must be passed vy; but Tam go ree trom doubt as to What I should doin response to your invitation that I think 1t would be affectation to do other- ‘Wise than to assure you that your city shall be in- cluded in my scheme. I cannot now fix the exact date when I will be with you, but shall be glad to arrange that and other details hereafter with those acting in your behalf, I might add, ina eral Way, that the time will be between the and the 15th of October.” ‘The President added that if this delegation was representative of, the people he was to mect in , he feared he could not _get away again.

LATTA SAYS MB. CLEVELAND WILL BE TREATED IN PHILADELPHIA, Gen. Jas, W. Latta, past commander of theGrand Army of the Republic of Pennsylvanta, speaking of the President's visit to Philadelphia during the constitutional centennial celebration in Septem ber, sald yesterday: “The authorized officers of the Grand Army of the Republic in Pennsylvania have been in communteation with the managers Of the celebration with the view to having the whole department of Pennsylvania present on mil- lary days. ‘As President Cleveland ts part of the celebration, the presence of so many Grand Army men must en a8 an indication of their de- sire to do honor to him as the head of the nation. Notwitnstanding the St. Louls episode, I have al- ways argued that it was never the disposition of ‘the Grand Army to be other than loyal to the Pres- ident. I don't think it would be in place, though, for the Grand Army to tender him a reception for several reasons. In the first place, the President will be here buta very short time, and it could scarcely be expected that he could devote any of it to an affair restricted to one body of men, More- over, he will himself give a reception while here, and that will afford the Grand Army members, a8 well a8 all other citizens, ample opportunity of seeing him, ‘The Grand “Army e fully 20,000 men in line.” —————-+e+_____ ‘The Ohio Republican Convention. SENATOR SURRMAN ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED. Extraordinary interest is taken in the proceed- ing of the republican convention which meets in ‘Toledo, Ohio, this afternoon, because of the fact ‘that a resolution will be offered in the convention indorsing Senator Sherman for the presidential nomination, The convention in reality 1s thus made of national importance, and this accounts for the large attendance. ‘There 1s no doubt that ‘the resolution will carry tn the convention. ‘The two things in doubt are how strongly it will be opposed on the floor of that body, and whether the opposition can muster sufficient strength to break the force before the country of the ini ment. The opponents of the resolution claim ‘bey can muster at least one-third of the conven- tion, while the supporters of it declare that 1t Will go through with a whirl, and that the opposition will be too insignificant to. amount to anything Dut an exhtbition of personal dislike.

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION. A Host of Candidates for Governor— Senator Gorman Has Control, Special Dispatch to Tax Everio Stan. Battrworg, Mp., July 27,—The Maryland demo- eratic convention, which was called to order at noon in Ford's Opera House to-day by Senator Gor- man, chairman of the State central committee, meets under conditions of peculiar interest. Pub- Me complaint against some of the methods and Practices of the democratic party could not longer be ignored. ‘The representative men of the party, its leaders throughout the State, recognized this and that it was time for them to take an active Part in directing the affairs of the party. Hence itis that the present convention is composed in a large part of the men whose names have beco prominent in Maryland politics, It was felt hat Much depended upon the temper and the course of Uhis convention; that if it recklessly ignored the Popular demand tor reform tn poultical a might seriously endanger the party’ Prospects. So that the tried men have taken hold ‘Of the helm with the view of steering the demo- cratic ship into smoother waters, THE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES before the convention makes it manifest that con- fidence in democratic success has not diminished in the ranks, There seems to be a feeling that the convention will succeed in grounding the democ- Facy more firmly iu public confidence than ever, and nobody doubts that the men named on Une Ucket will be the next executive officers of the State. In addition to the delegates and alternates all there are many protainent visitors trv portions of the State, most of them I dillgentiy tn behalf of “one aspirant or i Since yesterday the work of booming candidates has been unreimittingly kept up. Ail the aspirants, for the governship and several of those for the minor offices have headquarters established Barnum’s Hotel, ana in some cases the gatu seemed to be which side could out brag the other. FOR THE GOVERNORSHIP the active candidates are: State Senator Jackson, COLL. VictorBaughman, president of theChesapeake and ObioCanal Company; Attorney-General and ex-Congressman Chas, B. Roberts, and Mayor Hodges, of Baltimore. Then there’ are not Wan a dozen contingent candidates, each hopeful that he may be suimoned to take the asa dark horse. Co ‘an Compton and Stal Treasurer Archer wilf probably be compllurcnted on the frst ballot with some votes, but neither one of them 1s acandidate. Postmaster Brown, of Unis city, has a corps of workers out endeavoring to impress the rural delegate that Brown is the one desirable compromise candidate, The post- master avows himself for Hodges, but makes it plain that he has not much confidence in the ‘boom, and that anyhow he regards brown as the better man for the honor. Some of the country delegates are inclined to ridicule the post- master’s pretensions, GEN. KNOTT STANDS READY. Second Assistant Postmaster-General Knott Stands in an attitude of readiness to hear the party's summons should {t deem ‘him the man for the occasion. He is not antagonizing anybody, but his friends are urging him as a_most suitable man in the event that the strife between the lead- ing competitors becomes too bitter for either of the latter to Win.

He has some strong and active Iriends at work, however, and no doubt some Of them have thé 3 one ¢: andy for a prompt Summons in case heshouid be needed. SENATOR GORMAN'S QUIET WORK. ‘Senator Jackson apparently has the lead, but his opponents claim that he cannot muster votes enough to nominate, Senator Gorman, who ar- rived here yesterday, after a conference with his Meutenant8, announced that he would cast lis Vote for Jackson in the convention, but that he would restrict his support to that act; that he ‘would neither urge others to so vote nor would. he make any speech in favor of Jackson, The Sena- lor remarked that bis political and personal rela- Uons with Messrs, Hodges and Baughman were too close and cordial for him to antagonize them. While the Senator is thus careful in public to avold ‘treading too hard upon the toes of gubernatorial nts, the knowing ones say that he 18 quietly but effectively employing his influence to no1 nate Jackson, and the fact that Congressmen Compton and Gibson, two sworn allies of Mr. Gor man, are openly and actively working for Jackson, lend plausibility to this theory. In Tact, It 1s sige hificant that imany of them who are known to rep. Tesent the Seuator’s political wishes are out for Jackson. With Gorman to ald him Jackson 1s likely to pull through, APPOINTMENT CLERK HIGGINS and Indian Inspector Thomas seem to have special charge of Mayor Hodges’ boom. They dispense hospitaltties with a liberal hand at the mayor's headquarters, and shout “Hodges forever” lustily, Dut the prevalent opinion 18 that the mayor's Prospects are anything but bright. He hasseven- teen voles from the city of Balumore, but it. 1s suid that after a ballot or two these will split up. Col. Baughman has a good many determined adherents. His friends are in earnest in support of htra, It didn't take the colonel long to eftectu- ally squelch the project to get him off the track by offering him the controllership. “No, sir.” he replied, very emphatically. “My friends have put me in the fleld for governor, and it is that’ or nothing.” AN IRREPRESSIBLE CONPLICT. ‘There ts an irreconcilable contlict between the aspirations of Jackson for governor and Turner for another term as controller. They both come from the same section of the State, and executive offices are too scarce in Maryland to let the East ern Shore get two at the same time. The nomi- Bation of Jackson, it 18 conceded on all hands, would summarily temove Turner from the ticld. Hence the latter and his friends have directed thelr efforts toward killing of Jackson. Tiiis course has stirred the ire of the Jacksonites, who swear that Turner shall not be nominated, even Though Jackson fall, It is understood that Tur- ner made some advances to Baughman for # coali- Uon or combine of forces, and there 1s no douvt a very good feeling exisis between the friends of oth these ROBERTS MUST BE SQUEICHED, One theory of the presence of several candidates for governor in the race, who do not intend to re- main in it but will only ask acomplimentary vote, 4s that Roberts was making too great headway ‘with the people to suit the bosses, Roberts has always been independent, and has refused to trait under the banner of any Itis said that he Was winning delegates in all portions of the State, when the managers determined to bring out can. didaves in the different portions ofthe State, and tus check Roberts’ progress by appealing U3 local ‘@ candi sentiment, to support te of Its own locality.
