Windy City Chosen on the ‘Twenty-Ninth Ballot—Claims of Legation Presented. The i —— The déWiotratté“national convention will be held ag.the.city of Chicago on July 7. Such was the decision reached by the na- tional democratic committee yesterday. after an interesting and at times exciting session, which continued until 11 o'clock at night. After deciding upon the date, as was stated in The Star, the main interest, of course, centered in choice of the convention city. For this honor there were four appli- cants, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and New York. Thirty’ minutes were allowed each city in which to present its claims. The speeches made by distinguished citizens in each instance were of a high order of ex- cellence, and at times aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The balloting began about 6 o’clock last evening, and from the first a long and bitter struggle was indicated. The first ballot resutted: Chicago, 6; Cincinnati, 11; St. Louis, 19, and New York, 14. There was prattitally nochange, except a slight fluctuation of a vote or two, until the tenth ballot, when Chitago*began gradually to in- crease her vote at the expense of New York. Chicago Finally Chosen. At the twentieth ballot New York’s strength was rapidly disintegrating,her vote going almost bodily to Chicago.But St.Louis, which had tenaciously clung to her nineteen votes, also captured several of Cincinnati's votes, and on the ballot before the last led New York by one vote. On the last ballot, the twenty-ninth, which was taken shortly before 11 o'clock, the four remaining votes of New York were thrown to Chicago, and she obtained the necessary plurality. Sena- tor Brice voted for Cincinnati to the last. St. Louis had the support of a majority of the free silver votes in the committee. The rooms were profusely decerated with American flags, and there was a vast throng of visitors, admitted by ticket, many of them among the most distinguished demo- crats in the country. Quite a number of democratic Senators, and almost half the democratic membership of. the lower house, were present. A few ladies were in the parlors. Before the speeches began bouton- nieres of red carnations were presented to the members of the press with the compli- ments of the city of Cincinnati. By the direction of Chairman Harrity, the roll of states was called, and the four cities, Chi- cago, Cincinnati, New York and St. Louis, were placed in nomination, amid the cheers of their respective partisans. Thirty min- utes were allowed each city in which to pre- sent its claims. Chicago had but one speaker, Judge Adams A. Goodrich, who made a very brief, but a strong presentation for the city of the lakes. The arguments in favor of Cincin- nati were presented by.M. E. Ingalls of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and ex-Con- gressman Follet#-S. Walde-Smith of the New York board of trade and transportation, S. E. Ford, representative of the hotels; T. C. C. Crain and Col. John R. Fellows presented the claims of New York. Ex-Gov. Francis, Gov. Stone, Mayor Walbridge and Senator Vest spoke for St. Louis. Took Their Success Quietly. ‘There was no attempt cn the part of the Chicagoans to celebrate their victory in a demonstrative way, but, on the other hand, they took their success very quietly. The delegates say the preparations for the con- venticn will be arranged by the local com- mittee already appointed for that purpose and the subexecutive committee of the na- tional committee. The location of the hail in which to hold the convention will be left to this subcommittee. Most of the Chicago- ans left the city today, some going directly home and others going to Fortress Monroe and New York for a visit. Chairman Harrity expects to issue the usual call for the holding of the convention in a few days. It will be in form very much like the last one, with the changes in dates made necessary by the difference in the time of holding the convention. The cail will be issued from Philadelphia. Six Delegates From the District. A resolution’ was offered yesterday by Committeeman Niblock recommending that “in the next naticnal convention the demo- crats of Oklahoma and Indian territories shall be cntitled to like representation with Arizona and New Mexico of six delegates each.” Mr. James L. Norris at once offered and vigorously supported an amendment to in- clude the District of Columbia in the reso- lutien. £ The resolutions were supported by Sena- tor Brice, Lieut. Gov. Sheehan, Gov. Fran- cis, Mr. Smalley of Vermont and others, Mr. Smalley being especially earnest with reference to the increased representation of the District- Finally the committee ce- cided unanimously to pass the resolution as amended. The national committee adjourned with- out electing the sergeant-at-arms and other officers, who probably will not be chosen for some weeks. ———_—-e+_______ THE POPULIST CONVENTION. Place of Holding It Soon to Be Decided. Quite a number of the members of the national committee of the people’s party arrived at St. Louis yesterday to take part in the meeting of that body, which is to name the time and place for holding the na- tional convention. Mr. H. EB. Taubeneck, chairman of the executive committee, says nothing is known yet as to where or when the convention will be held) Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Omaha, In- dianapolis,“ Dallas an@ Atlanta want the convention, and each one of them has friends in the committee. But whichever place is selected, there also will the Bi- metallic Union meet, and the union of these two elements will make one of the largest conventions ever held in this country. Conceraing the alleged movement to bring about a fusion of all the reform forces, Mr. Taubeneck said: “I have received a number of letters from influential members of the party in various sections of the ccuntry, suggesting that, but as yet the matter has not been formally or officially discussed. Nor do I know whether the committee will deal with the subject at this meeting. We will perhaps send repre- sentatives to the meeting of the American Bimetallic League at Washington next week to Icok on for us, ani participate as in- dividuals if they so desire. But as to the re- port to the effect that I have advocated a union of all the reform forces in the nation or. a free silver platform, I want to denounce it as absolutely false. I have done no such thing. nor had I even contemplated it. Of course, we will make the currency. question the muin issue tn our platform, but that by no mears indicates: that we are going to merge our party into any other. We are ‘still in the middle of the road, and are going to stay there.” Mr. Taubeneck declared that he had no idea yet whom his party would nominate for Fresident. He considered Sibley of Pennsylvania a magnificent man, but did not look upon the indorsement by the free silverites of Sibley for President as at all binding on the populists. PRESIDENT KRUGER’S ASSURANCE. Americans in the Transvaal Do Not Need Protection. In reply to a cabled request to President Paul Kruger of the South African republic the New York World Has received the fol- lowing dispatch: PRETORIA, January 16, 1896. New York World, New York: Deep plot was laid to overthrow the in- dependence of the republic. The so called grievances of the Uitland- ers and their need of protection was simply a pretext for the invasion of the country by freebooters of the Chartered Company, whose aim was to overthrow the independ- ence of the republic. The freebooters are imprisoned and their officers will so to England for trial. Americans are in no danger whatever. They have no need of protection, but are able to take care of themselves. Ten of them who joined the revolutionary so called reform committee will, with ma- jority, mostly British subjects, be tried ac- cording to law, and justice will be done all without respect of nationality.
