Thoru was xomu talk of utilizing that
hietorlu struoturo again thin year, hut
tho flat had gone, forth for it dONtntc

delegate and M'itator within its wnlN
were tntng enough in tho memoir of
tho local luauagorn to dotor them from
petitioning for 11 xtxiiuinitit of It

gostcd, hut commodious an that mug
nitlcout hnll ia it wan iirououuced In
nufllcieut for tho requirements of tho
occasion.
Chicago had mndo 110 otTort to xecurn
tho convention it enmo to her an tho
voluntary gift of tho national commit
tec. Sho readily nccoptert tho unlooked
for honor, however, and determined that
ample wMon should lw mndo for tho
vast throng to lusoinblo within her hos
pitable. Itordom. For convention pur
pose proper tho wigwam on tho lake
front was deviHod to accommodate 15,
000 jK'oide. It wan afterward estimated
that, Including tho dolegatos, nearer SO,
000 would dctdro to "assist" in tlilt great
council of the Democratic party, and
the first plana were accordingly en.
Urged. Tho Improvised auditorium is
probably tho largest in tho world, and
its acoustic properties and seating ar
rangements aro declared to be unsur
passed. Tho building, which ia of wood, fronts
on Michigan avenue, where there are
four largo entrances. These will lie used
exclusively by tho delegates, newspaper
men and persons invited to seats 011 tho
tage. On tho north and south sldo aro
doors for tho admission of the general
public. Tho stage Is on the Michigan
vonuo side. It will accommodate JUKI
or 400 people. A commodious rostrum
ia in front of tho stage, facing east. This
ia for the accommodation of tho officer-)
and f-peakers.
East of tho rostrum aro tho desks for
tho ofllcial reporters and tho stenogra
phers of the Associated Press and Unit
ed Press, which will supply their patrons
with n verbatim report of tho proceed
ings. Tho nowspaper workers have ISO
Beats on either sldo of tho rostrum, no
arranged that every man can see and
hear without straining. Editorial spec
tators those from country papers and
those who Imvo no actual work to d-
during tho proceedings will ho lie
signed good positions in tho galleries.
One thousand seats have been bet apart
for the delegates in tho pit immediately
in front of tho stage. To prevent con
fusion, tho alternates will bo seated in
convenient places in the galleries It
has been decreed also that they shall
not le allowed upon the main Iloor or
pit unless thoy aro to servo in liou of
regular fsNilega tea. Tho seats rising from
tho outei edges of tho pit will accommo
date 0,000 people; the galleries above,
4,000 more. Admission, us usual, will
be by ticket, and there will bo an ample
force of 'police to keep tho various en
trances clear and preserve order on tho
outside. Tho exits have lteen ho arranged
that tho building can bo emptied in a
few minutes in caso of an emergency of
any kind.
To break the squatty appearance of
tho wigwam there aro towers sur
mounted with Ihigntuffu at each corner.
As tho structure has to le torn down
within two weeks after tho convention
finishes its work, very little pains will
be given to either exterior or interior
decoration. There will lie national Hags
and bunting galore, pictures of leading
statesmen and wreaths of (lowers and

evergreens wherever they can bo dis
posed to advantage. No etlort will bo
made to otherwise please or lie wilder tho
eye, since our people, who aro eminently
practical, do not deem it wife to cuter
into 111010 elaborate adornment for
temporary building. The comfort and
convenience of both delegates and vis
itors have been kept bteudily in mind,
however, and I think it is safe to say
that in these important respects tho con
vention hall will prove eminently satis
factory, Some llttlo trouble has occurred be
tween tho local committee in charge of
the arrangements and the national com
mittee in regard to tho muulter of tickets
to bo allotted Chicago. At tho last Dem
ocratic convention hero complaint was
mado that tho local allotment was un
fair nnd that certain outsido gentlemen
were permitted, or rather took upon
tbenuelves the liberty, to pack the hall
with followers of certain candidates. In
order to prevent anything of the kind
occurring this year, the local committee.
has demanded 0.000 tickets to dispose
of as In their judgment they see lit. Tho
" national committee tendered 8,000 at
first, but tho Democratic press of the
city objected so vigorously to such ft
slight recognition of Chicago's rights in
tho priinhe that the national commit
tee iliiiw back their proposal. Up to
. thU writing tho question has not been
nertnltely setued. It Is jontldently
peeled here, however, tlat 5,000 tickets
nt leant will fall to our share.
A little financial project naturally nt-(itch-
to this matter of tickets. The
erection of the Wigwam nut 10,1)00,
which was raised hy contributions from
hotel and restaurant keepers and cltl
tens generally. After using tt.000 tick
ets for their personal following tho lo
cal committee, should thoy Ihi awarded
5,000, will have H.OOO left. There will
lie no difllculty in selling thee at it'.'O
apiece, which would bring filO.imn and
cover not only the cost of the Wigwam,
hut the entertainment of iliMliiguMie I
visitors and other Incidental expeues,
Tho convention Itself bids fair to le
one of tlioinoit exciting In IhohMniy
of tho Democratic party. At the outst t
there will be a vigorous contest over tl.e
delegation from Now York. Tho inllim
cuts of Orover Cleveland have taken tie
position that the February convention itt
Albany did not fairly lepresetit the De
mocracy of the slate that it was ca'.lod
too early to obtain an honest expression
of the will of the people and that lis
action ought to bo Ignored. At tho Hy
acuso convention on May ill this nciil
meiit found format expression.
Senator Hill's suppoiters, on the othrt
hand, insist that tho midwinter conven

the convention. The outcome will have
a very important bearing on the selcc
tiou of a candidate. Hhunlil tho reguh :
delegation win, Senator Hill will hoi I
the soventy-two votes of New York state,
and ex-President Cleveland will have t
bo placed In nomination by a deleg.i!.
from Homo other state. It is believe
that Wisconsin will champion hi, chum
and that the orator for the occasion ha
already been agieed upon in tho poroi
of General llragg, author of the now
historic phrase that "wo love him f. .
tho enemies he has mado."
Hut the factional differences in Now
York have led many conservative Dem
ocrats to look around for some outside
candidate. They think the dispute has
Ik'coiiio too bitter to allow of a conipio
uiise, and that the nomination of either
Cleveland or Hill would result in the
loss of the Empire State. There is
abundant material from which to select
another standard bearer. Iowa has
placed the name of Governor Boles be
fore the country, Illinois is half pledged
to Senator John M. Palmer and Senator'
Voorhees looks uion Indiana's indorse
ment of Gray as a sure prelude to vic

land, Russell of Massachusetts, Pnttison
of Pennsylvania, Carlisle of Kentucky
and Cumpliell of Ohio, all sturdy, repie
sentativo Democrats, with more or le.-s
following leyoud tlio bounds of their
own states.
With such an array of names to choose
from it can be readily imagined that the
Democratic national convention of this

It has been tho generally accepted idea
that gout is a dl-oaso peculiar to lazy,
sluggish minded high livers who hnvo
nothing in the world to do but live and
eat. But thero is a now light, and Dr.
P. Smith says it Is not tho result of al
coholic drinks, for it is rare in Scotland;
nor do wines superinduce it, for it Is
rare in Spain and Italy, and tho beer
drinkers of Munich and Vienna know it
not. According to him it is n proud dis
tinction, for it "lielougii to tho most civ
ilized times ami nations, to tho stronger
sex, to the most vigorous period of life,
to tho higher classes of socioty and to
tho most able." And so another popular
delusion is attacked, If It is not yet de
stroyed, and tho gout must bo classed
with William Tell nnd Lucrezia Borglu.
It will bo remembered that Dr. Johnson
once wrote Dr. Taylor us follows. "My
opinion is that 1 have drunk too little,
and therefore have the gout, for.it is of
my own acquisition, as neither my fa
ther had it nor my moth ir" At the
same time Johnson was Immoderate in
all things, and ho acknowledged that he
was "a 'burdened and shameless tea
driukor."

Washington, Juno 8. As I write tho
Washington newspujier corresjHindents
are on their way to MluueaKills In their
own special train. No delegates, man
aging M)litlclaus, magnates or spectator'
will travel to the northwestern city In
finer stylo than the men who are to
chronicle the proceedings of tho conven
tion. They have sumptuous sleeping,
dining, parlor anil observation car.
They carry their own harlwr from the
National Capital Press club, their sto
nographors and tyiiowritors. If neces
sary they could print n newspaper in
any town at which they might stop, Inn
ing their copy ready for tho printers'
hands. At Minneapolis, and later i.t
Chicago, they will 1w second in iinior
tance only to the iiiciiiImth of tho con
volition themselves. The delegates will
nominate the candidates for president,
but it is the nowspaiicr men on whom
the entire country must depend for it
Information of the proceedings, the
plots, conspiracies, movements nml com
binations. No doubt many of my readers will 1 e
surprised to learn that this tqiecial train
will carry about eighty Washington cor
respondents to the field of battle. Per
haps you did not think there were so
many correspondents at tho capital. Dut ,
11 -' i
these eighty will 1m only one-half of the
whole uumtier, the remaining eighty be
lug left here to cover the news cf the
nation's capital.
The work of a nowspnper man at n
national nominating convention is r-.t
liost difficult enough. I have been
through a number of theso affairs nun
know whereof I spenk. Tho most Im
portant work a newspaper writer can do
Is not in tho convention, but before it
meets and nt night between tho dally
sessions. What occurs in the conven
tion is an oien liook, or at least easily
understood. It sjienks for itself and
only needs to bo carefully watched and
Intelligently reported. Stenographers
aro depended upon to rejiort nil speeches
and formal proceedings, and descriptive
writers are stationed at points of van
tage to make pen pictures of the stirriu.u
scenes.
It is worthy of remark that the flnef t
descriptive writer in recent national
conventions was a womau Mrs. Mar
garet Sullivan, of Chicago Sho is un
rivaled in tho vividness of her sketches,
the purity of her language, her quality
of enabling tho reader, though a time
sand miles away, to feel that he was
there, catching tho marvelous inspira
tion of tho moment nml being swayed
by thoso waves of human exaltation
which sweep over such gatherings.
Mrs. Sullivan will lie at Minneapolis
and Chicago. One of her peculiarities
is that she will not sit among the newt
paper men on the platfotm. She pref'-rs
tho spectators' gallery, where her point
of view is that of the average onlooki .
where platform, delegates and the thou
sands of spectators are spread out befi re
her like a valley seen from a mountain
top.
It is during the evening nnd tho night
that the special correspondent from
Washington is most valuable to the pa
per which employs him. Then thu lead
ers of the convention, the big politician',
tho liosses, the heads of messes "are
tireless, sleepless, devilishly active" in
promoting tho schemes to which they
are attached. Thero are secret plotting",
midnight conferences, combination-,
conspiracies which may change or uir . t
the proceedings of the morrow. As tin-
less, as sleepless, as active ns the poli
ticians must tho correspondent be. h
must know ns well us they, and he usu
ally knows better, whnt is going on,
Out of a thousand false stories and
strange rumors ho must sift tho truth.
Out of a thousand theories, each in turn
supported by a great variety of ovi
deuce, he must select tho true one. It
Is his mission to look always to tho fu
ture, to point what is likely to lie done,
as well as to show what is being done.
The great reading public not only want"
to know everything that is going o:i.
but what it nil means and whither it
drifts; and it depends upon tho special
correspondent to harmonize the con
flicting indications, tho diverse theories
and statements, into an orderly, ra
tional story which shall embrace not
only tho developments of the day but
their probable bearing upon the result.
I venture the prediction that these
eighty correspondents who reach the
field of battle today by special train
will from hour to hour nnd day to day
have a better understanding of tho sit
uation in both conventions than any
other men on tho field, excepting, per
haps, four or five men in each conven
tion who aro tho generals of opposing
I forces. Before tho struggle tho cor
respondent will inform himself ns to the
plans, the purposes, tho points uf strength
and weakness in each of tho camps. A
tho battle comes on ho will thus bo able
to judge tho vnluo of every onslaught,
every repulse, every tumpornry advan
tage gained by ono or the other of the
lighting lines. The slightest change in
tho array of battle will to him hnvo n
deep significance. To him it is a game
which ho knows bettor than nine out of
ten of the men who aro engaged in it.
When, a few days hence, you eagerly
seize your newspaper and rend of what
is going on nt Miuncniiolis, do not for
get tho man who is doing his best to
keep you informed of every phase,
change uud feature of tho tremendous
situation. Remember that ho is work
ing twenty hours a day, pushing and el
bowing his way through dense, hot
crowds, inhaling day and night the
fumes of tobacco nnd tho all iorvadlng
dust of packed hotel corridors, and
making prodigious sacrifices of mental
nnd physical vitality to servo you. Re
member that as a rule It Is sundown be-
foro tho schemes and combinations of tho !
hisses iM'gln to develop nnd liecoine
known, and that after satisfying him
self of the tendency ami features of tho
hour tho corresiom1eiit must turn his
arduously acquired Intelligence Into copy
and get it upon the wire.
The bauo of the tiowapacr profession,
itsoppiesslveuess, its murderousness to
the men who take pride and acliiovo
success In It, is that after a day's labor
has been expended in acquiring infor
mation, when lody and mind are fagged
with exertion and long tension, then
must 1m performed the most delicate,
tho most ImiMirtaut, most trying task of
all putting into words and sentences
the harvest of intelligence, Inference,
logic. Good iiewsgatheriug is a failuie
without good writing. How difficult
good writing is after a day and part of a
night of iiewsgatheriug in one of these
human maelstroms, known to the public
as a national convention, no man knows
so well as ho who has tried it.
At MliiueaiKilis thero .will lie more
than the usual necessity for rapid work,
because tho telegraphic service is not s i
extensive as that at Chicago or at other
cities in which national conventions
have formerly been held, Thero will be
n rush for tho wires, nnd the correspond
ent who can get his facts quickest ami
put them in words earliest will be tin
man to win the plaudits of his manag
ing editor. Thonewspaiersof the coun
try will rejiort tho preliminaries and
proceedings of the coming national con
ventions ns they have never before re
ported such gatherings.
There are papers in New York and
Chicago which will want nnd have, If

have from five to twelve men nt Minne

Tho special reports written by these re
porters will bo in addition to tho urn
tine reports made by press associations.
A feature of newspaper work in the
conventions of this year will be tlio il
lustrations. Four years ngo newspaper
illustration had not been so fully de
veloped ns it Is today, and while some
capital pictures were then printed th-j
illustrations of this year will be almost
ns perfect from tho graphic nnd tho
artistic point of vlo'w as thoso which the
weekly illustrated papers will bring out
ten dnys or so later. Tho modern news
paper lias become such n perfect photo
graph of the thought, tho occurrences
und tho incidents of tho day that precious
little is left to the weekly illustrated
journal or to tho monthly magazine.
Tho modern daily newspaper is tho
cheapest thing in tho world. Thero Is
nothing else that compares with it in
value per price. For two cents one may
buy a New York or Chicago paper of
sixteen pages. Think for a "moment of
what it is yon get for the price of u
postage stamp. First, thero is tho white
paper. It alone costs ouo cent, und
wnite paper, tlinuks to tho development
of machinery and processes, is cheniM-r
now than it over was before. To make
white paper, costly machines and appa
ratus, marvels of ingenuity and intri
cacy aro required. The paper is shipped
to the nowspaper office in huge rolls,
and there it goes through a process com
pared with which its manufacture is
mere child's play. Tho big roll lies on
tho sidewalk where it has been dropped
by the drayman. Tomorrow, you know,
It will appear worked up into printed
sheets. But what is tho method of
breathing tho breath of life, u soul, into
this mass of white, inert matter?
Early in the morning hundreds of
men in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe
are the first to contribute their share.
They aro news gatherers, telegraph nnd
cable operators. Thoy write of thrones,
armies, famines, principalities and
lowers. As soon as the sun has begun
to shine upon the western hemisphere
thousands literally thousands ot men
take up their part of tho work. They
watch, inquire, note, write. They nro
scattered from Hudson's bay to Pata
gonia, from ocean to ocean. Through
an almost infinite variety of channels
tho results of their toil, n hundred times
abridged, edited, adapted, concentrates
upon tho building beforo which you saw
tho roll of white (taper. Her twoscoro
of trained editors winnow again the
shower of intelligence which has been
touring upon them from tho four quar
ters of tho earth. They send nt dark
tho results of their labor to a room in
which 150 men stand under bright lamps
deftly picking 1,000,000 pieces of metal.
All night long the shower continues,
tho meteoric rain, and all night long
tho nimble fingers ply.
Then fifty or sixty stereotype dates
nro mado of tho pages of typo which tho
100 men have assembled together, and
theso plates, molten photographs of tho
world's yesterday, slide down to tho cel
lar. There stand from eight to ten beau
tiful, marvelous machines, next to tho
human mechanism in perfection und
function. Each co-,t f.'O.OOO. A small
army of men guide and manipulate
them. Almost in a twinkling these ten
greut pres-.es nro in motion, ten streams
of the white taper nro running through
them und emerging in printed, folded
sheets. An individual product of this
marvelous process this process to which

is n native of Washington, having been
bom there, while his father, Harvey
Wattorson, was serving as congressman
from n district in Tennessee. From
early youth ho had n strong predilec
tion for journalism, und after tho war
had broken out he was inclined to the
enuso of the Union, us his father was.
During the first two years of the civil
strife ho was editorially connected with
the Cincinnati Times, but ho afterward
went to Tennessee, nnd joined the Con
federate army, performing stnfl duty
until Generals Grant and Sherman had
destroyed tho power of the enemy in the
southwest. After the war ho went ti
Louisville, and when Tho Courier nnd
Tho Journal were consolidated ho was
chosen editor of tho united newspaper,
nnd still retains his position, with n largo
proprietary interest.
Wntterson has introduced now meth
ods into The Courier-Journal, and
though not entirely destitute of occa
sional eccentricity himself, ho has not
encouraged eccentricity in his sultordl
nates. Ho has said that when ho first
made his homo in this city it was tho
custom of newspaper men hero to get
drunk at least once a day a custom
which, if not wholly discontinued, has
been greatly modified. Their pugna
cious propensities have also lteen curlted,
if not cured, by his influence nnd exam
ple. It is rare that ono hears nowadays
of any kind of a fight among tho fra
ternity, whoso members used to bo con
tinually at war, not with (tens nlono,
but with canes, knives and pistols.
Wntterson has not lteen engaged in any
sort of "difficulty" for nearly twenty
tlvo yers, and yet ho has never hesitated
to express his opinion freely and clearly
on any subject that came beforo him.
He has tact, humor, ability, independ

pretty good authority that, W. D. Sloan,
the greut carpet merchant, will build a
