A FORMER EFFORT, In February, 1880, ab endeavor was made by gentlemen representing the democtacy of the city to induce the democratic national committee to select Washington a8 ce for holding its con- Yention. Messra. John &. Norris, K. K. Eluiott, Lawrence Gardner, Wm. Dickson, 'and other gen- Uemen were a committee to Work for this end. Mr. Stilson Hutchins made the speech before the committee. On the informal ballot Washington four ‘and on the first formal ballot by which ‘Cincinnati was selected Wi “at that compete halls, but had subscribed funds to pay all the ex- penses of the convention, We had provided for a all, We had arranged to secure the K-street market house, and Mr. McGill, the architect, had made plans for the alt necessary to'turn Av into @ convention hall.” A TALK WITH CHATRMAM DICKSON. “It occurred to me some time ago,” remarked Mr. Wim, Dickson to a Stan reporter to-day, “that We Ought to make an effort to get the next na- {ional democratic convention in Washington, After consultation with others, I tntro- Guced the resolution, hitherto’ published, in the Columbia Club, Ail with — whom Thave conversed favor the project, ‘but we are inet with the statement that there Is no building here for holding a national convention. ‘That ts true, but, this movement will be ‘in Incentive for the erection of such building.

We want ali our people interested in 1%, Aud there is no reason Why we should not have both the democrauc and republican conventions At Washington, ‘The same building would answer for both, ‘Tne arguments agains Washington are that as this is the seat of Government the actual piesenee of the Adininistration ta the clty migut we undue weight upon the deliverations Of the democratic convention. Also, that as the Coming session will ve the long session of Con- gress, the convention will probably meet before adjouroment, and the presence of Congress and {ts ofcers would bring to bear a political influence Uhat would not be felt elsewhere, But this is slin- ply begging the question, Such arguments are not Valid, and ought nov to weigh with anybody, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, New York, and Perhaps’ oné Souttiern city, will compete for the \onor Of getting the convention, Chicago ts in earnest. Here is a letter I received in August from Ube Iroquols Club, announcing that Ubat club had unanimously resolved to work for Chicago's Interest, and they enclosed a photograph of the rojected uditoriuin Dullding, to be the End ‘finest in the country, and’ to contain ball ‘capable of accomm Uousands of people,” “When Will tue national democratic committee meet?” inquired the reporter. “The date 18 not xed,” replied Mr, Dickson. ~The committee adjourned on the day President Cleveland was inaugurated, subject to the cail of the chair. In 1ss4 the meeting to ai tor the convention was assembled on tue 22d of February, and I presume the committee will meet about tnat Ume next year. Chicago got the convention on the third ballot. Her committee was made up of Tepresentatives of all parts of Lilinois, | Chicago furuisued the hall’ and paid all the expenses of the convention. Here 1s a copy of tne proposition made by Chicago and ucoepted By the comunittee,” said Mr. Di a, referring vo and Yeading from a bound copy of the ot the national committee. “The city,” continued Mr. furnish a hall adjusted to accommodate any num- ber from ‘five \nousand wo as ‘thous, and; to ex ‘every description; to furoish free of expense headquarters for tie na- tonal committee, to pay all of its ex) and ail other expenses the committee may deem nev s- Sary for the convenience or comfort of the couveu- on; that the rates of hoteis should not be above ordihary prices, and that the railroads should 1ur. nish reduced rates, There are many good and valid at ents in favor of Washingt ” contin- ued Mr. Dickson, “and by united effort I hope we may get Doth éonventions. Our committee will probubly ask the District authorities to appeal to the peopie for a general movement.” ‘THE EXPOSITION. Some of the gentlemen interested in the promo- tion of the proposed Constitutional and Columbus centennial celebrations in this city have interested themselves in the project now afoot to build a all, their idea being to take advantage or and assist the movement with the view to securing @ building not oniy suitable for national conven- tions, DUL One that Will be appropriate by its size and locaUon for use also in connection with the proposed celebrations, _—— Au Alleged Policy Writer Arrested.
