Kmivn City's Attraction * .
The claims of Kansas City were first , pre
sented by Hon. Mr. Putnam. Ho said that
with the oxcoptlon of Now York nnd Chicago
there was not a cltv In the United States
Hint enjoyed the facilities that Kansas City
enjoyed to enable the representatives ot the
democracy to assemble. The hotel accom
modations would accommodate nil the
delegates who might bo present nt.
the convention , as well as the
numerous visitors. There would bo
erected a convention building , &naif required
that bulldjng would bo constructed accordIng -
Ing to plans approved by thu committee. The
tolograpti.sy.stcm of Kansas City was second
to no city , wtlh the exception of Now York
nnd Chicago. In conclusion Ha said that If
the convention was brought to thn city ho
represented the delegates would bo allowed' '
to shako over something n little stronger
than Ohio river water. ( Applause and
laughter. ]
Senator Vest's npponrnnco on thn speaker's
stand was the signal ( or prolonged applause.
IIu .spoke in a conversational tone and
directed most of his romnrKs toward nn
eulogy of the accommodation that could bo
nllordcd by Kansas City. Ho assumed that
this convention would go to the west. [ Ap
plause. ]
Kulogl/rd Tiiminiiny.
New York dirt not need this convention
and should not hnvo It. Now York was the
battle-ground of the convention to uo called ,
and for that icason , if no other. New York
should not be selected. Now York was too
great , financially. numerically and
politically to need the aid of any convention ,
and , besides that , Now York had. Tammany ,
and Tammany was larger lhan any conven
tion. [ Applause aim laughter. 1 Tammany
had no division about a platform or candi
date. [ Laughter. ] There was no acrimo ,
nlous debate hoard in those traditional halls.
Ho said that with all kindness to Tammany ,
for ho was an honorary member of that
society [ laughter ] ho did not belong
to the ranks of Ihoso gonllomon whose
velvety conscience and silken curs
were turned by the shouts of the Tammany
braves as they scattered In Might the
broken hopes of 'tho republican party. ) Ap-
plauso.j The claws of Tammany's tiger ,
crimsoned today as they were with radi
cal blood , had no terrors for any one oxcont
an enemy of true democracy. [ Applause. |
Now York did not need the convention and
should not have it. Chicago , tbo imperial
city of the Inland sea , did not ncod it and
should not have It. Nor should the conven
tion go to tnat pleasant , and beautiful city of
Milwaukee , The democrats wanted a city
which was individually and distinct
ively and cosmopolitan and was not
shadowed by an immense city within
eighty tulles of It. St. Paul should not ask
for tbo convention. One of the charges made
by the republican party was that the demo
cratic party camped on- ) year whore the re
publicans had camped the year preceding ,
and It was time that the democrats should
follow their own policy. Kansas City was a
cosmopolitan city. It was democratic , but
Its people know no Hag but that which
decked the walls of the hall. [ Applause. ]
Admitted Missouri Will Di'lilorrullc.
If it wore urged that Missouri was n dom
ocratlc state ho admitted the soft impeach
ment. [ Laughter.I It was a democratic
.stato nnd , like the old guard of Napoleon , the
democracy of the state might die but it would
never surrender. Missouri was n democratic
state , and her votes would bo given to tno
democratic candidate whether the conven
tion wont to Kansas City or not ; the destiny
of ttio democratic party would bo the destiny
of the democrats of Missouri. TApplnuso , ]
< Invi < riMjr IVrk of Wisconsin.
The claims of Milwaukee were first ad
vanced by Governor Peck of Wisconsin. He
came , he said , not to fight gentlemen , but to
go into a race with Ihoroughbrods. Ho came
from a state where democracy had bean
wnlkod upon for forty years that ho knew of.
Tames were different now. [ Laughter. ] The
old democrat ! : had raised boys who hud
begun to vote where Their fathers
loft off , and Wisconsin was
now democrntic by 2)0,000. ) [ Applause. ]
There was not a republican in the capital of
Wisconsin from dome to basement , except
ono colored man , and he was kept for luck.
[ Laughtor.j If the democrats of Wisconsin
haa dona wrong ho hoped they would bo told
so. [ Laughter. ] Though ho urged the
claims of Milwaukee , ho declared that wherever -
over Iho coDveulion was hold , and whoever
was the oandlaato , Wisconsin would glvo the
democratic nominee twelve electoral votes.
It could get a few moro.
All 1'romUcil XVInronilu's Vote ,
Major Somsrs of Milwaukee , though
warmlr pressing the claim of Milwaukee ,
spoke [ n n vein of party patriotism , and de
clared that the twelve'votes of Wisconsin
would bo found in the democratic column
whether or not Milwaukee was glvjn the
convention , ana no matter who Ihocandluato
tulirht be.
Mr. Donnelly of Wisconsin was the next
.speaker , nnd bo also advocated the selection
of Milwaukee
The claims of Now Yorlr wora presented
by Jnmos Bruslln , Mr. Myers , comptroller of
the citv , nnd Colonel John Fellows.
M. R Tarpjy of California portruved the
advantage which would accrue from the se
lection of San Francisco , and was followed
by Mr. V. T. Coiomun of California , who
spoke in thu same vein.
St. Puiil's . \rRiimcntn.
Hon. T. W. Lawlor of St Paul was the
first speaker in behalf of that city. Ho
caused n telegram to bo reaa , slimed Jointly
by the mayors of St. Paul and Minneapolis ,
making every reiiulsltoplcago for the accom
modation of the convention and the ontcr-
tulumont of visitors.
"Tho twin cities of Minnesota , comprising
a population of moro than 00,000. " said Mr.
Lawlor , "Jutii In 11 petition that tbo national
convention bo locatml at St. Paul.1
"I feel , " sold ex-Coiiurossinan Wilson , the
next speaker , "that the democracy of the
great northwest has boon over

This has been true not particularly
of Minnesota , but or the entire northwest.
If the democratIcTranks are to bo recruited it

this convention goes to Wisconsin ivo will
not be mourners. If It goes any where else

THE EVIL SPIRIT.
A ItrnrRiulu American l.urgHy lle
fur Hit1 Trouble.
Julio Foster Is probably moro respon
sible than any ono .individual for the
misunderstanding between the two coun
tries , writes the Washington corre
spondent of the Chicago Tribune. Ho
is a native of I'onnsylvatiia , who wont to
Chili forty years ago , married a Chilian
woman and became u citizen of that
country. Ho hates the United States
with all the rancor of n ronocndo. For
weeks ho peddled around Washington
Complaints and slanders against the
American minister , the consul to Val
paraiso and the naval officers. Ho drew
up nn indictment of eighteen counts
against the United States , which in
cluded all the grievances , real and
fancied , of the Chilians for the last
twenty years. Though ho had no official
standing , this was not known for awhile ,
and what he said was given the weight
which naturally might attach to one of
the congressional envoys.
Besides the prominence of his son , his
son-in-law was ono of the loaders of the
congressional party and an influential
member of the Chamber of Deputies.
For this reason officials in Washington
extended Minister Monti the widest
charity in not holding him responsible
for Poster's actions , though Foster lived
nt the legation , and went everywhere
that Montt did until Mr. Bliiino refused
to receive him at the State department.
It was soon , however , with his influ
ential kin in Chili , Foster might have a
standing with Montt because of the min
ister's fear of olTonding his son and son-
in-law.
Foster , hpwovorwnsin communication
with Chilians on his own account. Ills
contomptof the United States wrs groat.
Ho saw his slanders published in mug
wump and democratic papers , and the
efforts of President Harrison's adminis
tration to uphold the -national honor
ridiculed. Ho may , therefore , have
been excused for believing that this
country would never go to war to avenge
the Baltimore outrage. It Is pretty cer
tain that lie communicated his views to
his son , the judge of crimes , and this
may have nccountok for the judge's in
solent tone and for the bins with which
ho conducted the investigation.
liH Tuiiililcil.
Hon. .1. J. Richardson , Iowa member
of the national democratic committee ,
lias been tolling this story down cast :
The managing editor of Mr. Richard
"
son's paper "had an experience with
Manager West of the West house in
Minneapolis which was very racy. Ho
wanted lo obtain accommodations for a
corps of reporters at the republican na
tional convention , and wrote a letter to
Mr. West three days after the selection
of .Minneapolis as a place- for holding
that mooting , requesting that a room
should bo assigned to the Davenport
Democrat. lie received a reply in
which Mr. West said that ho was al
ready in receipt of ton times moro appli
cations for rooms than ho had room , and
that it would bo impossible to assign a
place as requested. The managing
editor promptly replied to Mr-
West's epistle in about this strain :
' My Dear Sir I am sorry that
you cannot accommodate the
Davenport Democrat with a room. lam
nevertheless thankful to you for your
frankness in admitting that the cilics of
Minneapolis and St. Paul are not ca
pable of accommodating a great conven
tion , which you do by refusing to assign
a room to the loading democratic paper
of the stale of low.i. The own91 * of tnis
paper , Mr. , T. J. Richardson , is a mom-
bur of the democratic national commitleo
and is being deeply Importuned lo vote
for St. Paul for the location of tbo demo
cratic national convention. You can
readily understand that under the cir
cumstances ho will not bo favorably im
pressed with the accommodations whleh
tbo democratic national convention
would have in the Twin Cities. " The
Davenport Democrat could have had a
whole floor in the West House appordlng
to Iho reply which Mr. Wes t sent to this
sarcastic letter.
A Vutimblo flnlit Coin.
Ono of the first gold coin.3' atrnck by
thu United States mint is in the posses

Twenty-fourth police district of Phila

family for three gonoraiions , having
been given to his grandmother , Mis.
Kliznboth Krowdon , at the Gray's Ferry
arsenal , in payment for clothing made
for the troops sent to the Mexican war.
The old lady wrapped the coin in u
handful of the thread used in sew
ing thu soldiers' uniforms and
wound the whole about with
two yards of blue tape , used in binding
the coats , pants and vosU. The throat !
and tape are in a good state of preser

deathbed gave the coin 'to' Ollicor

who in turn gave it to him , The coin

K. ] Ono of the most disgraceful sights
over witnessed on the streets of the cMiltal
city was scon at tlio corner of Twelfth and
M streets nt noon today. Two youtiK
women , oacb apparently about SO years of
ago , stopped each other on tbo street corner
and after a wordy encounter came to blows.
Tno smaller girl of the two accused the other
of tampering with tbo affections ot a young
man and from mere accusations tin )
two passed to oaths and bllllnirs-
gate seldom heard outsldo of n bar
room. Than tbo smaller girl KnocKud the
larger otio down nnd scratched nud clawed
in true fotnlnlno fashion. In tbo mcanllmo
u crowd of probably 100 men bad assembled ,
but not ono lifted a hand to put a stop to tlio
disgraceful affair until after the second
knock-aown. Thu spectacle of the frlrl
prostrate In the gutlor , her face blooding
profusely anil tier clothing torn and muddy
llr.ally moved a bystander to interfere. The
pugllistlcally Inclined female was afterwards
arrcslcd. At thu police station she gave
her mi mo as Louisa Lindsay , She claimed
that the other girl had stopped bclwocn her
and her afllancud husband , who is u conk or

NuliniildiN Military SlriMiKtli ,
In view of the threatening aspect of the
Chilian complications nnd the possibility that
the state may bo called upon to furnish her
quota of tlio volunloer forces lhat may bo
sent to Chill , a few facts concerning Ne
braska's military strength will bo interest
ing. According to the last report of the ad
jutant general the N'ouraska National cuard
consists of two regiments of Infantry , ono
battery of artillery and ono troop of cavalry.
The enlisted men number' ana them nro an
oven hundred oftlccr * . In equipment the
Nebraska troops will suffer by comparison
with tho3o of other states. Tnoir uniforms
nro condemned by the adjutant coneral as
bolng almost unlit for ttio. They ore , or
were on the date of the last report , without
overcoats , blankets , knapsacks , havorsuuKs
or canteena , all of which would bo necessary
In thu event of tholr being called Into active
service. However , all of the ofllcors , and
undoubtedly most of the men , would relish
the idea of a summer Jaunt lo the ether end
of thq hemisphere , even though Iho pleasure
of the trip would bo marred by danger of
death.

Tlio typewriter irl in the Richelieu
looked up from her machinu vest-inlay
afternoon and remarked to tho" Chicago
Herald hotel lounger :
"I have boon playing a very important
part in a very intorcstino' romance. "
"Oh , you havnV"
"Yes , I havo. "
' What's it about ? ' '
"Love , of course. What do you sup
pose ! "
"And were you one of the principals ? * '
" \Voll yes , I think 1 did the most
important "part. You see there were
four of us "
"Double wedding ? "
"No , not a double wedding1 there
isn't any wedding yet. Wait. There
were four of UK throe girls and ono
young man. The young man lives hero
at the Kicholiou. Ho hasn't boon in tlio
city long. Ho came here from a corlain
town in Connecticut whoso name I won't
mention. Ho is a nice young man and
very wealthy , oral loasl his family back
in Conncclicut is wealthy. When ho
came lioru ho was ougaged lo a young
lady tn his own homo. Hut ho didn't
love hor. Ho didn't love any one until
ho came hero "
"And "
mot y
"Wait a minute ! This engagement
was ono of those family a Hairs arranged
by the parents of ilio young folks you
know how such tilings go played 'to
gether as babies , romped aa children ,
went to school together , fathers old
chums , mothers old bchoolimitos , both
families wealthy , and so the young people
ple become engaged. You know how
such things 'fo ? "
"Oh , yes. "
"Woll. as I say , this young man didn't
love hur. After he came here they cor
responded. Then the youn m-vn tmtg
his ideal _ hero in Chicago , and foil in
love with hor. You can imagine in
what a quandary lie was nlaeed already
engaged , and then to fall in lovo.
Finally he hit upon a way to break off
his engagement and to do it honorably.
Ho came to moand dictated a letter lo her
just an ordinary love letter just such as
ho had boon writing to her , I porsiuao.
It was hard work and nearly exhausted
and quite enervated mo , but I finished it
and marked it 'dictated' and he signed
his name , and it was posted off to tlio
poor girl down in Connecticut. In a few
days ho came back again and said : 'That
wouldn't work. She just scolded that's
all. ' So ho dictated another of the biimo
sort. Now you know no girl could en
dure two dictated typewritten love letters -
tors , and hoslio , being insulted , broke
Ihe engagement. And now lie is free to
marrv Iho girl lie loves. "
"Which is - "
"A young lady way di/wn tlio boule
vard hero. This is the third girl In the
atTair you &oo. And now , tlio slory hav
ing reached Connccllcul , her family is
furious , and his , I hoar , refuse to give
him any money whatever. "
