WAHIIINOTON LICTTKK,
Washington, Feb. 24th., 1888.
Washington Iiuh been tho Mecca to
wards which tho eycK of all good demo

thu past few days. 1 lore the llrst steps
woro taken towanlHthu great victory which
Ih to bo won UiIh your nguin by tho party.
Thu Democrat le National Committco
which met In this city to select thu titno
und place for holding thu National Nom
inating Convention, held a three dayH
meeting of intense intercut and every rl
vul city worked its hardest for thu prize.
Thu only other business of Importance
transacted by thu committee wuh tho
election of Mr. Win. Stclnway, tho piano
manufacturer, of Now York city, to till
thu vacancy on thu committee caused by
thu denth of Hubert O. Thompson. Thin
selection wuh a great disappointment to
tho republlcuiiH. whoconlldeutlyoxiiucted
11 grout row in tho committee over It.
lteprcKontutlvu Scott, of PoniiHylvunla,
was in favor of holding thu convention
beforu thu republlcuiiH held theirs, lie
liuving thut having ttossesslon of thu
Government, It wuh thu proper thing for
tlio democtutH tu take thu Initiatory stops
In oenlng thu Prctiiilontiul campaign.
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, opposed
uu curly convention, maintaining thut
there wuh no reason why tho deinocrutn
should change their, policy of following
thu republicans: thut with 11 late con
vention thoy could tuku advantage of any
mistakes of their opponents, whereas, by
preceding thu Itepubllcans It would on
able them to iiuiku capital out of any
blunders Unit might bu committed by thu
Democrats. Senator Gormun'H views
weru shared by neatly two-thirds of tho
committco, bunco thu selection, at llrst of
July II. Tho next duy a tccouslileratlon
of tills votu wuh secured, uud Mr. Scott's
vIowh accepted by adopting Juno 0 an
thu date for thu convention. It wuh not

Mr. Mills, chairman of thu House
committco on Ways uud .Means, Iiuh Just
returned from u living trip to Providence,
Ithodu Island. Ho says lie is delighted

in regard to thu luvuuttu question.
Throughout tho manufacturing districts
