All the great There will leaders will be present. and dried" about it "cut he nothing will decide themselves The delegates vhat they want to do. And it Is because the delegates are yet uncertain t to their course; because there are so many possibilities In the situation; and because of the vast Interests Involved, that each day's session of the convention will present a scene of and wild acfeverish excitement claim which will makp It memorable con-te- ation was made In history. With five or six presidential candidates already In the field and several dark horses being diligently trained, to be entered as "added starters at the last moment, the prospects for a and spectacular contest are Xo one now here expects the convention to be concluded in three days It may run for a week. But while It lasts there will be ample oppaportunity for the leather-lunge- d triot to shout himself hoarse In behalf of his country, his party and his lively great candidate. The setting of been well chosen the big event has and every preliminary has been arranged. The convention will be held In the great hall of the Coliseum which Is situated In the heart of the city of SL Louis and Is conveniently reached by several lines of street cars. The big hotels are within easy distance. The decorators have taken the hall in hand and expect to have completed their work by Wednesday. C. W. Martin, the head of the Missouri Tent ft Awning company, of this city, who has the contract in charge, promises to make the hall a bower of beauty. If the profuse use of flags and green stuff can do that there is no doubt that he will fulfill his promise, for of them he has a plenty. At Chicago the most prominent feature of the decorations was a large picture of the late Senator Hanna. Because of the part he bad taken In the formation of Republican policies in recent years, that was appropriate enough. But at St Louis the central figure will be a large picture of Thomas Jefferson. Republicans mny say that that is another Indication that the Democratic party Is living in the past. But to Democrats and this Is to be a Democratic convention the contrast will have an-th- er significance. There will be no pictures of the only living Democratic Mr. Cleveland, nor of any of the candidates for the presidential nomination In the hall. In this respect the dec orations will be The hall Itself Is oval In shape and f ubstantlal structure. Great steel girders support the roof, which Is arched so as to afford the greatest acoustic properties. A tier of seats rilng from the floor of the hall ex tends around each side and a gallery UP nearer the roof increases the accommodations for visitors. There are eats provided for 10,500 persons In tbe hall. Three thousand of these are n the floor itself, still leaving ample pre-emin- non-partis- tee and distinguished guests. A row of boxes extends all the way round the hall, like those In Madison Square garden. New York, at the Iiuikc show, and these, too, will be reserved for distinguished people. Immediately to the right ;uul left of the platform are the desks for the working newspaper men those representing daily newspapers whose reports must be dashed off at once to the telegraph wire. These desks number 176 on enrh side. Just hack of them are railed off sections containing S00 chairs on each side for the use of representatives of the weekly papers and i the magazines. Altogether there will be over 700 seats on the floor reserved for the press. Stairways in front of the correspondents and by the side of the platform lead down directly to the telegraph offices of the Western Union on one side and the Postal Telegraph on the other, ao that, "copy may be rushed to the wires without delay. Back of the correspondents on each side and here is where the new idea cornea In are the seats for the alternates. Heretofore in all national conventions the alternates have been stretched in long lines from end to end of the hall back of the delegates The delegate! themselves. In a wide pointed wedge formation, will occupy the exact center of the floor, stretching from directly In front of the speakers platform to the rear of the hall. They will be seated on each side of a wide aisle leading straight to the platform, and there will be an aisle on each side of them, so that a delegate who Is called to the platform to speak, or who desires to send a telegraph message, can do so without disturbing his colleagues The drawing of seats for the delegations, which Is done by a blindfolded boy who draws the name of each state from a box previously well shaken, will occur In a day or two In the office of the sergeant-at-arm- s The first names out of the box get the front seats and the lottery freJust quently has peculiar results how It will turn out this year will not be made known until the day before the convention when the standards bearing the name of each state, will be placed In position. These standards by the way, will be fastened securely to the floor so that delegates In a moment of enthusiasm may not snatch them up and bear hem in triumph around the halL That is a favorite "stunt of the delegate and frequently results In much confusion because of his inability to find the place from which he took the standard when he wants to replace it At the east end of the hall a complete postolfice Is being fitted up with letter boxes for each delegate and al ternate. This will be under the charge of Assistant Postmaster Henry P. Wyman of St Louis; William M.

Among them are contests from the twelfth (Columbus) district of Ohio, .the second district of Maine; the flrsL second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth districts of Pennsylvania, and from the district of Columbia. Unofficial advices suggest that other contests may be made but these are all that have been filed so far. The national Democratic committee will meet at 10 a. m. on July 4, to take up these contests and the other preliminary work of the convention. There is talk of organising a big parade for the night of July 5, the eve of the convention, in which all the marching clubs that come to the convention, and the military and organisations of the city are to take part, but the movement has not yet taken definite form. semi-milita- 2. 1904.
