Washtigton May Be Able to Get One or Both These Bodies. THE EXPRESSIONS OF MANY CITIZENS ON THE GUDJECT—ALL MEARTILY IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT—REVERYTHING IN OUR FAVOR AXD NO YVALID“OBJECTION CAN BE URGED. That Washington, the convention city, as it is now known, is the proper place for holding the great nominating conventions of the po- litical parties of this country is a proposition that evidently bas the hearty indorsement of large numbers of our leading citizens. Some expressions of opinion on this subject are given below, and it is evident that all that is needed is the starting of a movement to gain the hearty co-operation of all. The suc- cess which attended the visit of the citizens’ committee to the Grand Army encampment in Detroit is an indication of what can be done if an effort is made. HE RELIEVES IX MAKING THE EFFORT. Gen. H. V. Boynton is an authority on nearly every subject touching either Washington or \@utside matters. Speaking more particularly of the republican convention, Gen. Boynton ‘nid to a Sta reporter in answer to the ques- | toge! tion, Do you think a united effort would bring one of the conventions to Washington? “Why not? There is no reason why Washing- ton should not capture the national convention in the same manner she did the Grand Army encampment. So far as beauty and interest associations are concerned Washington is heac and shoulders above all competitors. In the matter of accommodations I am of opinion that the city could attend to the crowds in a much superior manner to several cities which have bad the honor of entertaining national conventions. The hotel accommodations here are large and in the matter of boarding houses the expansibility is almost unlimited. “A national convention here would not have to contend with a bitterly ‘tisan press, as haus been the case in some places. The Wash- ington press, in my opinion, would be fair with- out booming or decrying ‘any especial candi- date. The only objection which can be brought against Washington, and that an objection which, in my opinion, cannot stand for one moment, is the plea which would probably be used that with Congress in session and the President here an administration bias would be given. This objection, however, would have little practical foundation. In m: opinion the otaaloiat tion would not if it could, and could not if it would, influences convention held in Washington any more than it could a convention held a thousand miles from here. I see no practical reason .why a strong effort should not bring one or both of the conventions to this city.” HEARTILY IN FAVOR OF 37. Mr. John W. Thompson, president of the Metropolitan National Bank, when asked by a Star reporter today what he thought of the proposition to bring the national conventions to Washington, expressed himeelf as heartily in favor of it. “I am strong in the be- lief,” said he, ‘that a convention gathered from all parts of the country is of immense Denetit to a city, and I would especially like to see one or both of the national conventions meet here. You see Washington has got about to that point in its development when the best thing that can possible happen is to have people come here from all over the United States to vee what the city really is. “In the first place the city belongs to all the people, ‘and it is only right that they should we a chance to see their own. But people away from here have. I think, a false idea of the relation Washington bears to the rest of the world. When they have once been here they understand things better. They see the needs city as the national capital and they at once to have pride in it, Washington is rapidly getting to , a8 it should be, the great convention city, and the more that come the be’ We can handle them all. In my opinion committees ought to be organized without delay and they should get right down to work to see what can be done in the wa; convention meet WASHINGTON THE PLACE. Mr. B. H. Warnersaid: “This is really the proper city for conventions. We can enter- tain people who want relaxation from business, change of scene and instructive object lessons for the mind. The old Washington as a city of magnificent distances has changed into the vigorous and charming capital of _ this mighty republic. It has been transformed from a mud hole into the parlor of cities, adorned by magnificent public buildings ‘and works of art, set in the most luxurious framework of foliage and shrubbery. Its distances have been chased away by theelectric and cable car. No other locality can offer such literary, scientific and historical inducements, and they are rapidly growing in magnitude, for Washington is now the pride of the nation, the Mecca of every traveling American. We want our national conventions held here. We are neutral in politics. Whata blessing! By next summer the vast auditorium at Glen Echo can be reached by ® new and rapid transit. Gen. Ordway will have completed 2 reat hallover the Northern Liberty Market. Either of these places will hold the conven- tions. Really, however, the government ought to build a hall large enough to hold 20,000 peo- ple, and this will be done within the next quarter of a century. Let the conventions come here by all means.” ‘MB. CROFFUTT'S VIEWS. Mr. W. A. Croffatt, the journalist, who has lately been making considerable reputation as a political economist, talked interestingly to a Stax reporter on the advantages of Washington as a convention city. twenty years,” said Mr. Croffutt, “the holding of any kind of convention in any other city except Washington will not be con- sidered.” This city all the require- ments of accessibility and ability to take care of a crowd, and the country is just beginning to realize the fact. Besi es qualifica- tions this city has in a greater degree than any other place the qualities of beauty and cleanli- news, besides heving within its borders and directly surrounding it more points of general interest than can be well mentioned. Tam not well enough informed on political matters to tell as to the prospects of getting one of the national conventions, but have-no doubt the city could easily accommodate either or both.” f having the next national fa Wash gton.”” . PERRY CARSON CONFIDENT. “We are going to have the republican con- vention here next year,” said Mr. Perry Carson toa Srar reporter this morning. “That is my opinion, at any rate. Washington is the most desirable place for holding the convention, as it hus better facilities for providing for the delogates than some other places. ‘The only thing that can defeat this city is ® move for some particular candidate. “Asa member of the national committee I will vote for Washington and before the meet- ing of the committee I intend to write letters to the other members Urging them to-vote the same way. Col. Dudley favors this city and another member of the committee remarked tal of the nation should not be “lt Johnson, Col. a sar pis choir soosiabcs seen teren take the same interest as was taken in the G.

Tam satisfied if the efforts are made in time we will = able to get not one but both of the conven- iqns. ‘XR. WM. DICKSON'’S VIEWS. Mr. William Dickson has probably more knowledge of local democratic politics than any other man in the city. “A strong and united effort,” said Mr. Dickson to a Star reporter, “should be made to get at least one of the national convenlions here. =“In all previous efforts we have been handi- capped by the fact of having no suitable hall in which a convention could meet. This difti- culty, now that the Grand Army has de- cided to hold its encampment here, will disappear, and either at the market on K street or elsewhere a building or hall will be provided suitable for a meeting of the larg- est possible bodies. Washington has all the requisites to make it @ great convention city. No ward, county, city, state or ma- tional tics or’ elections will disturb the judgment of the convention and in ‘this city outside influence would be minimized. The idea that the admin- istration would have an influence on a conven- tion meeting here hes no basis of fact. If either convention came here it should through the efforts of the citizens working in an entirely unpolitical character. I have talked with several southern mem- bers lately and all agreed that Wash- ington was the place for the conven- tion provided a suitable hall was furnished. Now that the encampment has been obtained, Washington should go to work and get at least one of the national conventions, and Iam glad ‘Tue Stax has started to agitate the matter. MB. GLEESON FAVORS THIS CITY. “The capital of the nation is the proper place for the holding of a nominating convention,” said Mr. Andrew Gleeson to a Star reporter. “There are various reasons why the conven- tion should beheld here. One, and the princi- pal reason is, that it ie the capital, and conse- quently there are more attractions here than elsewhere. Then there could be no charge that Washington was selected in the interest of any particular candidate, because it is neutral ground.” “Another thing about it,” he continued, “at would be a great honor for a man to be elected President after having been nominated at the national capital. “We have all the accommodations in the world and would see that all the delegates had a first-class time. I think the people of Wash- ington would erect a temporary hall for the convention should this city be selected, and I, for one, would contribute $500 toward it if necessary. Continuing, Mr. Gleeson said that so far as the republican convention was concerned he favdred New York in the event of Washington's failure to secure it, because, he said, the man who carries New York next time is pretty cer- tain to be elected. “But,” he added, “there isonly one man to nominate, and nothing can prevent his nomina- tion and election. That man is James G. Blaine, the greatest statesman living. I am for Blaine first, Inst and all the time.” MR. CHASE'S OPINION. W. Calvin Chase, speaking of the place of holding the convention, said that as a member of the central committee from the ninth district he intended to ask that committee to use its best endeavors to secure Washington as the ae of meeting of the convention next year. fe thought the convention would come here if the citizens would take the proper interest in the matter. ‘THOS. J. LUTTRELL SANGUINE. Thos. J. Luttrell said: “Why not? I don't see why Washington should not be selected as the Permanent meeting place for all conventions.not only political, but civil. The only objection that is ever raised against the city is the lack of « hall large enough to accommodate the meet- ings, and I am convinced that if such a hall could be built both parties would be willing to come here as a compromise. “It 1s neutral ground and would farnish an ideal location for a convention town, and I am quite sanguine that if the hall were once built it would be utilized several times each year.” GEN. ORDWAY ENTHUSIASTIC. Gen, Ordway observed: “I deem that Wash- ington is the proper place for all conventions, without regard to parties, professions or classes. It should become the Mecca of all Americans, and both of the political ties should reach an agreement to bold their con- ventions here for all time. We have long needed a hall large enough to enable ae lary body to meet in comfort, and the lack of such accommodations has been the main reason why more assemblages bave not chosen Washington. Hereafter. however, there need be no cry of that sort, for the mages § that I am now organizing to utilize the K street market house as a convention hall is so near an actual fact that I expect to have the work of flooring over the structure begun this fall and completed within very short time. You see,what has long been ‘a public virtue has now. since the G. ak has voted to come here, become a public necessity. We must havea hail and we have it S ample time.” NO MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE. Mr. Robert Ball said: “There has never been ® national convention of either of the two political parties held in the District, and this being conservative ground, where they will be relieved of local influences, there cot be no better nor more appropriate place. We now have ample accommodatioas—the great amphi- theater at Glen Echo will seat the largest kind of an audience and before the time for the con- ventions the great hallin the Northern Market pone ls streets) will have been com) “An I bavestated before,no more appropriate or suitable place can be selected, and there need be no fear, with our past experience at the Cleveland and Harrison inaugurations as to accommodations, and, added to this, we can assure the conventions that courteous treat- ment will be given by every one, no matter what political creed they expouse.” ‘MAJOR RICHARDS’ OPINION. . Major A. C. Richards said by all means the two great conventions should meet here; not only those but all the conventions. We have the accommodations here for an unlimited number and the K Street Market Hall will be done in time. It will do the active politicians good to see the ay oa Fights and perhaps adopt form of government in the states.” If it is good enough for us why is it not good enough for the $900; Miss B. N.

They are due in Washington at the Pennsylvania station at 8:15 this evening. The program of the trip from Detroit was changed a little by failure to con- nect with » train at Toledo.

R., told me last night that out of the 44,000 G. A. R. men in Pennsylvania 20,000 or 25,000 would be m the parade on Pennsyl- Vania avenue next year. It was already pro- posed, he said, to form Washington clubs and Taise money by contributions from members of 25 cents a week to pay the expenses of needy ‘ones to Washington. The Pennsylvania men, he said, looked upon it as a great thing for them, as it will arouse an interest all through the state and get recruits for the order. PENNSYLVANIA'S VOTE EXPLAINED. Speaking of the action of the Pennsylvania delegation in voting solidly for Lincoln, the inspector general said that that was the result of adeal. The Pennsylvanians thought that by giving their votes to the west for the en- campment they could gain for commander-in-chief, while, if they voted for holding the encampment in the east, the western men would not vote for their candi- patch tf Tax Stax of July 25, giving a sketoh of State Auditor his remarkably Drillicnt record asa speaker sipce he left the for the stamp and the extreme probe bility of his nomination for governor next year by the democrats and alliance men. has caused no end of political discussion and epeculation all over the state, many papers having reprinted the dispatch.

In intermingling with republicans your correspondent findsa strong Binine feeling vailing among the rank and file of the G. O. The officeholders, of course, are all for Har- rison, or pretend to be, but the free American citizen of the republican persuasion hereabouts is generally Biaine man.

Sometimes one runs across an Alger | man, but he is generally a northern settler and @ member of the G. A. R. post of this city. A WASHINGTON BALL TRAM. They havea base ball team up in Winston, N. C., that has cleaned up everything in three states— Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina—having played about thirty gumes and lost but one. “The Washington ‘Ball Team” is now playing them a series of gamos and the same tcaune will play exhibition in this city next week. OF course this is not the Washington association club, as that or- t | ganization is losing games somewhere clae, uc- to schedule, but it is probably as fully one, judging from the “great style” im which your team succeeds in keeping at the foot of the list of the ansociation games ——— PERSONAL CHAT ABROAD. cord: as Loxpox, August & —Thuraday waa the eighty- second anniversary of the birth of Baron Ten- nyson, the poet-laureate of Great Britain.
