The Democratic Committee has chosen July 3d aa the date for the Convention. The place is not " selected yet. Several ballots were taken, -thft last of which stood San Francisco 17. ; rShieaira 15. St. Louis 14, Cincinnati !. : mi "....;-.,- mahqo till 1 fVV1rklr to-morrow. t the chairman stated that the first business in order was the selection of a date for holding the National Democratic Cm-. . vention. Senator Oorman offered a resolution fix- ing the date at! July Sd next. This was rigorously opposed by Congressman Scott, of Pennsylvania, who was present as prjxy Wm A ll TT noil a l.in7 -"written speech, depicting the advantaze which he believed would accrue to me - Democratic party from a Convention held . as early as May 22d. He said that when the Democratic party was in -power ueiore me war, it uu . . " to hold Conventions early in the year. Ia . the present case, he declared that the cam paign could be made more vigorous and aggressive by the selection of an early date and a distinct and early enunciation to tne American people of the principles which would be wrought into the Democratic platform. . Mr. Dawson, of South Carolina, follow ed in the same vein, expressing the opinion ' that the Democratic party would be little itself by deferring its Convention until it had first ascertained how.th9 Republican platform was framed and who were the nominees of that party. Another proposi tion was made at this juncture to fix Jane 5th, as the date for holding the Conven tion. but this, as well as the early date sug gested by Mr. Scott, was objected to ny Senator Gorman, who declared that in view of the fact that thera were some differenc s of opinion in the Democratic party upon . the tariff question, it would be impolitic to hold the Convention before the Democratic . . i j iOU52 oi rtepresemauves nau uau aa uy- portunity to agree upon a tariff measure which would bring together all dissentient opinions and secure the united support of the party. When such a bill had been agreed upon Democrats could fasten upon aRepub iican Senate the responsibility for failure to enact a law revising the existing tariff lav and correcting its evils. Senator Pasco. f Florida, briefly expressed himself as in f vor of an early date. A ballot was ten taken upon tne three propositions, which . disclosod the fact that the advocates of the July date had a clear majority over the ad herents of th3 May and June dates Tiie latter then combined their forces to secure the selection of June 5th, but the Commit tee, by a vote of 28 to 19, agreed that the Convention should be held on July 3d, next, A short recess was then taken, when the Committee reassembled. On mo tion of Mr. Dawson, of South Carolina, representatives of the Press and person il friends of members of the Committer were admitted to the session. The Committee then gave a Searing to representatives of the various cities which are contending for the honor of s .curie g the Convention, the first audience being given to W. W. Fuller, of Chicago, who presented reasons why that city should be selected. General Hunt presented the claims of Cincinnati: a duty which had been assigned to Speaker Carlisle. He regretted the en forced absence of that gentleman, who, he said, bad been summoned to the bedside of his sick son in Kansas. He was assured that the sympathy of the Committee wouIJ follow the Speaker in his calamity. Representative S. S. Cox, of New York, then went to the platform to present the claims of the metropolitan city, and was greeted with loud applause and cheers He thanked the Committee for the kind recD- tion given New York in his own perioa. -That city, he said, presented through h-r business merits political organizations, a id all associations which belonged to thu - Democratic stronghold, its earnest request for the meeting of the Democratic Co a- - vention at that place. He presented a communication from the Business M.a's Committee of New York, setting forth the accommodations which would be afforded the Convention in Madison Square Garden, and making generous offers of hospitality to the Committee and of convenience to the delegates' to the Convention. As to . transportation, said Mr. Cox, New York would Btand pn a par with any other city. And aa to lrmTOAJiflttA snrt tolpcrrnrwViir. tt m . xnunication, it was far at the head.

LUaughter In the course of his speech he declared that he belonged ra that echool of . Democrats who hi that all the offices of this country should be filledVoy comperemt ana worthy Democrats f Loud and prolonged applause and cheers! and a cry of "Hurrah for David B. Hill." He believed that unless there was such an : ?immKtv as-to renderthe decision a crime. hrt would give preference to. an honest Democrat over an. honest itepubiican. If there were two hotels In a olty, he tound it : v " nnvi nca himself that the Demo. critic hotel set a better table and furnished a trttsr tea t"aa -luo. cr""iv twvw. rLau'Mer.l - If -there were two- llaesfof A railroad; one ofScered by Republicans and; one by Democrats,' he - could easily, satisfy himself that the Democratic road was . the smoothest " and : freest -'.from: accidents. Laughter. An' army' that would . not reward -' its own - soldiers would coma to grief. .The ;party which did . not stand by its own men would share the same fate. I Applause. 7 He urged that the Convention should oe held in a Demo-' cratic city, and deprecated .the - practice of feeding Republican cities on Democratic spongecakes. Laughter. None of the surplus fund of the Republican party went to a Democratic city, and the reason for the success of that party in the past and its formidable aspect at present, was that it stood by Jits political localities. He had little sympathy with the argument that ia the selection of the Convention city, the comfort of Democrats should be consulted. A. Democrat who could not stand two days of the hottest weather ever invented, in order to secure some Democratic votes, was unworthy of the name. Applause J He had canvassed for the party whea the thermometer was 103 in the shade, and had fattened every day. The coming Convention would be a short one. The candidate could easily be named. Its duty would be. to announce the platform on which to go to the country with the great leader who would carry the Democratic party again to victory. The candidate would come from New York. Why should the Convention go to that city instead of the Imperial West, in order to announce his name to the poople of .the United States?- He had no word to say against the crowned States of the Pacific Slope, which to-day were rushing to unequalled ess pice amid gold and sunshine' and flowers; ho bad not one word to whisper against that splendid City of the Lakes, whose progress . and wealth were unparalleled in ' the annals of the country; but in the coming canvass the Democratic party must stand by its princi ples and platform and rely on the innate strength of Democracy alone. "1 thank God," he said in conclusion, "that we are in battle array and ready for what is to come. Our leader has and will have in his hands a banner, not drooping uncertainly and moodilyT but floating wide, fair and defiant, with the principles of the party emblazoned upon it." Applause j Horace C. King, of Nevada, spoke in favor of holding the Convention in San Francisco, -believing that the Democratic party would be benefitted thereby. He re ferred to the hospitality of the people of that city, as attested by their recent wel come of the Grand Army of the Republic, and regarded that as an earnest of what might be expected if the Convention was given to San Francisco. Mr. Martin F. Tarpey, of California, subscribed to every word that had been ut tered by Senator Vest. If one grain of sand could be put tn the balance in favor of the Democratic party, and the gentlemen could show that by holding the Conven tion in Chicago, 8. Louis, Cincinnati or New York, that grain of sand would fruc tify and bring forth Democratic fruit in No vember, he would not stand here asking that the Convention should be given to San Francisco. The Democrats of California and the Pacific Coast had been Spartans in the cause, and while they held forth the baud of fellowship to their fellow Demo crats of the East and South, and while tbey offered to harbor the Convention at their firesides, they would not wish to have the pleasure of its society and company, did they not feel that they could be of some service in the great battle about to be opened. The people of that section were quick to resent an insult and prompt to re turn kindness, and he believed that if the Convention came to San Francisco the re sponse of California would be a glorious an overwhelming majority for the Democratic nomineo. Tne fires of patriotism that would be lighted on the pinnacles of the Sierra Ne vadas by the gentlemen who would sit in the Convention and ratify the nominee, would be carried triumphantly as flambeaux by the gentlemen on the returning March, until the blaze was quenched in the waters of the Atlantic. Every citizen of Cali fornia Democrat aod Republican would turn in and help to redeem his fellow citi zens' promise. They felt that they could deliver the goods, or they would not ask tbe Convention to partake of their hospi tality. They promised to pay all the ex penses of tbe Committee, using "all" in its most amplified sense. There would be car riages ad lib. fLaughter l And two ad ditional telegraph wires would ba put up between San Francisco and Chicago, which with those already in use would accommo date all tbe business that was offered. He did not claim that San Fi ancisco should have tbe Convention because it could ac commodate it, or because its people were hospitable, or because it had the fines climate in the world; but he did claim that this Democraticvbody. sitting as tbe cus todian of the interest of the Democratic party, should take into account the four teen votes which were trembling in the balance, and that San Francisco should have thoughtful consideration at its hands. Applause, Ail persons except members of the Com mittee wete then excluded, and balloting began to select the city in which the Con vention should be held. Tbe following were tbe ballots: let.

Feb. 82. --The -President and his party arrived hero at 8 o'clock, and were met by a committee Of citiaens and the mayor. Thousands of people were present, and as the train rolled in the Chat ham artillery fired a salute and all locomo tives aod factories in the vicinity blew a welcome blast. People were particularly enthused as the President and Mrs, Cleve land stepped from the coach. A little daughter of Col. Haines, engineer and general mansger of the Savannah. Florida & Western R R . presented Mrs. Cleve land with a splendid collection of flowers. The party were escorted to the "long room" of the depot, which had been prepared for the occasion, and decorated with potted plants, ftowers and evergreens An in formal reception, lasting about ten minutes, was held, and about 1,000 people were presented to tbe President and Mrs Cleveland, and other members of the party. Carriages were then taken for a drive around the city. The route bad been published and was thronged with people, notwithstandicg the fact that a drizzling rain was falling. The mayor and Capt Falligant, chairman of the (citizens' com mittee, rode with the President and Mrs. Cleveland. Other citizens rode with Col. Lamont and wife, and Secretary Whitney and wife The Georgia Hussars acted as escort. .Cheering was continuousindica ting a hearty welcome. The Jasper monu ment festival being in progress, all the buildings were gaily decorated with bunting. The only stop in the course of the drive was at the Taliaferro Academy of Fine Arts. Mrs. Cleveland had expressed a de sire to see the collections of sutuary and paintings there. The depot was reached without other incident of any kind worth mentioning. An hoar had been spent in the drive, and the President expressed himself as being much pleased with it Within fifteen minutes after reaching the depot the party was on its way to Jackson ville. The people were greatly pleased with Mrs. Cleveland, and there was great regret that the President and bis party could not remain longer. The Senatorial party reached here at 7 30 a. m., and left at 8.80 a. m. Jacxsokvillx, Fla , February 22. The Presidential train arrived here this after noon, and was greeted with a salute of twenty-one guns and the acclamations of an immense concourse of people. The party was escorted to the St. James Hotel by the State Military Reception Committee. in carriages, and a band playing patriotic airs. Msyor Burbridge rode in the carriage with tbe President and Airs. Cleveland. which was decorated with flowers and evergreens. At 1.30 o'clock, after the Preai dential party had taken lunch the Marshal of the day, Major Harkishimer. with twenty aides, formed the procession. Tbe following was tbe order of tbe pro cession : First Division Police in platoons : mar shal and his aides; First Florida Battalion. with band; Prestaenlial party in carriages, the carriage of the- President and Mrs. Cleveland being drawn by six black horses; Wilson s Battery, momred as special es cort to tin President; Second Florida Bat tahon; Congressional party in carriages; Press Association in carriages; invited guests in crrrisgee.

Tbe line of march was along the principal streets, wmcn were gay ith decorations of all kinds, including evergreens, buntlog. reatoons or oranges and orange nowers. Masses or people to holiday attire lined the route, and it is es timated that 100.000 citizens and visitors Witnessed tbe procession, includinc thou sands ef Northern tourists. On tbe arrival of tbe procession at the Es position Building another salute of twenty-one guns waa bred by a detach ment of Wilson's battery. Tbe President, Mrs. Cleveland and their party and visiting Congressmen, were met at tbe north en trance by tbe Reception Committee of the Sub Tropical .Exposition, with Director General Paine and officers of tbe Associa tion, and were escorted to the platform in front of tbe north gallery. The military then entered and stacked arms, except the guards on duty. Beats were provided on the platform for representatives of the city. State and United States governments, dis tinsuished citizens and committees. When the President, Mrs. Cleveland aod the accompanying guests were seated, Col ontl J. J. Daniel delivered an address cf welcome, which was warmly applauded. When quiet bad been restored the Presl dent replied as follows: "I am exceedingly grateful that I am able to see the wonders of your Slate and to meet this kind-hearted people, and the sincerity of your welcome has made me already ieei quite at my ease, l am sure thst every person must be impressed with the extent of our country and the diversity of its climate and products, when he finds that, by traveling thirty-four hours within its limits, winter and snow can be left behind and exchanged for tbe balmly air and bloom and verdure of summer. The American citi zen in search of health or pleasure and comfort in any variety of climate, or in al most any changed condition, has no need to leave American 60il. or .to lose the bene fit and freedom of American institutions and laws. 1 suppose the advantage of for eign travel should be freely appreciated. but it seems to me that there is enough in our own land to interest and instruct oft times with greatest advantage, many of our citizens woo maist upon seeaing novelties and sights of foreign countries. There is. however, satisfaction in the fact that none of these return without an increased appre ciation or ineir nome. While this proves that our citizenship and our patriotism can be relied upon as against all the blandish ments of the old world, I have thought if a Cood share oi tne time thus spent in learn a . . ing now muen we loveu our country was devoted to acquiring more intrinsic know ledge of its beauties and its advantages. both our citizenship and our patriotism might be improved, l expect my present occupation At the seat or our government. where our country and its people and all their needs are constantly subjects of thought and care, makes it hard for me to omit reference to these things; and yet I would not have you think that on this social visit, the holiday - which - J have taken is to be spent in any other way than . in the freest enjoyment which your kindness and tbe facilities of jour State and city affords.
