The chances from tba first favored Chicago. New Yorkers, however, were hopeful of profiting by tjie division between Chicago and St. Louis, and hoped Saratoga would be selected* aa a compromise. Chicago, however, won in the struggle, and tha Democratic convention will lie held In that city on the 8th of July. Tbe 24th of June was first selected, but a reconsideration was voted by thoae who were in favor of a short campaign. The contest between St. Louis and Chicago has bean very cloaa, Chicago leading by only one vote upon the first 1ml lot Tha St. Louis people made a gallant struggle and take their defeat with a very good grace. Some of tbe diaappointed people bave said that the location at Chicago was lathe interest, of Mr. McDonald, but there is no basis for the supposition. It was not until nearly 4:30 o'clock that tbe final struggle over tbe location of the convention was settled. Two or three hours were occupied in presenting the claims of rival c ties. Nothing illustrates more closely the rivalry of St. Louis and Chicago than the fact that written statements were submitted by W.': C. Qoudy, of Chicago, and by Col. Prather, of St. Louis, agreeing to pay tbe full expanses and transportation of the delegates to tha national convention as an inducement to capture votes.

Mr. Morse came to New York and leased the old church-armory building on West Twenty-third street, which he transformed into a theater, with the avowe 1 object of presenting the "Passion Play."

A good many Republicans may remember that the Republican overthrow of 1882 was followed by the passage of civil service laws and sundry good things, and they may say to themselves that as this lesson was immediately fruitful of very good results, and as it was too quickly forgotten, it had better be repeated to bring forth another crop of good results, and to be remembered longer.

There was not the slightest hitch anywhere. Every representative body, civil, military and naval, was promptly on hand. The police details were excellent., and the immense hut orderly masses of people that thronged tttD- route, from the Battery to the navy yard at Brooklyn, were illustrations of the esteem and sorrow felt by the a ster cities for the loss of the gallant fellows who perishi d in a hopeless endeavor. Flags at half mast fluttered from nearly every large building on Broadway. Similar symbols of sym|Dathy fluttered from the forest of masts along the shores of the East river.

New York, Feb. 23.—O.ily five of the surviving soldiers of the war of 1812 answered yesterday to their names on the occasion of the dinner annually tendered them by Dahlgren Poet, of the Grand Army of the Repub lie. These were Henry Morris, aged 84; George Cygier, aged 80; Gardner R De Lilibridge, aged 82; Win. J. Surre, aged 83, and Elijah P. Jenks, aged 83 years. At the dinner last year ten veterans sat down to dinner, but three are since dead. One was Charles Coombs, a;ed 00; another, John Morris, aged 87, and the third, General Aliram Dally, aged 88 years. The dinner was served at Walhalla hall, on Orchard street, and was heartily enjoyed not only by the veterans, but by leventy-Qve or eighty members of Dahlgren and other posts of the Urand Army. The old veterans were blithe and chipper a* ever. Th* veteran corps has decreased rapidly of late years, and now only sixteen survive. Of these, as far as could be learned, twelve were able to do duty, while four were incapacitated by age In 1866, when the 1812 veteran corps was reorganised, the roll contained 376 names. Now there are only twenty-two uauies on the foil, of which six belong to meu who are believed to be dead. WM.

Bdfvalo, Feb. 23.—The Daily Times (Democratic) has published the substance of the conference between James D. Warren, chair man of the Republican state committee, and President Arthur, bad in Washington last Wednesday. It states that Arthur will serve as a rover from now until the proper tim», in the convention, for another candidate, that Mr. Warren has convinced Mr. Arthur I bat it wul be impossible to carry the convention for him, and that it is wiser to select some other Stalwart candidate, who will be sprung upon the convention at t he last moment. The man decided upon for the nomination is Elihu B. Washburne, of Wisconsin, minister to France during the Franco-Prussian war. The services that be rendered to the Germans there, it is thought, will gain him their support, and be is a western man. Gen. J !seph It. Hawley, of The Hartford (Ct.) Courant, was mentioned for vice-president. The plan of the Stalwarts Is to keep Arthur before the cou itry as a candi late until the last mo meiDt for the benefit of the opposing factii n in I he Republican party, the object being to keep the real nominee out of the range of the Halfbreed fire.
