OUkw. the Fifteenth W ash i noton, Jan. 21.—After a good na fared, animated content, and on the fif toenth ballot, the Democratic national com mittee has chosen Chicago as the film» for laildhig the Democratic tints mal convention of 18U2, and June 21 aa the time. From th>- finit Chicago baa nought to con vey the imprewdon to the country that it did not care to secure the convention. In the k»t five daya, wlien this city was full of boomer» for different towua, no voice ha» been heard proclaiming Chicago's advan tages, Fur this reason many people: imaginisl that it was entirely out of the race. Chi cago, as usual, did not want anything. As usual, she got everyUiing. Governor Peck's speech in favor of Milwaukee waa j the wittiest and spiciest of the lot. When j all had been board the committee went into executive session and the balloting took place with tlie following results: Tlw Ballots. The committee then went into open ae*r HesBion and the Hpokefimen for the various cities presented their claims. ; First Ballot—Chicago, 1; Milwaukee. 8; Kan sas (Mty, 13; IndianapuliH, 2; New York, ft; Cin cinnati, 3; Ban Prauctnoo, S; Detroit, 3; Bt.

The hotel oorridore were crowded with delegates from the various cities, and as their cities showed gains the corridors resounded with cheers. It soon became apparent, however, that the com mittee was coquetting with several «ties. When on the first ballot Kansas City led, its adherents gave a wild western cheer. On the third ballot when Ban Francisco received 15 votes, the number of people who wanted to visit the Golden Gate would doubtless even appall«! the generous Californians. Bt. Paul's hopes were raised by leading on the fourth ballot by 13 votes, only to be dashed on the subsequent ballots. Perhaps the worst collapse was that of Detroit, which on the sixth ballot received 19, while on the next it dropped to 1. In dianapolis' hopes were raised on the eight ballot only to disappear from the contest in the next ballot, when she received 1 vote. The men from Milwaukee were perhaps the uoisest, and rent the air when the Badger state capital received 20 votes on the ninth ballot. The crowd was in great good humor, and their enthusiasm rose and fell as their favorites fared on each recur ring ballot. When on the fifteenth ballot it was an tranced that Chicago had 27 votes and the r convention the crowd in the corridors were f fairly struck dumb. That a city which had j U0t even asked for the convention should be 1 selected was inexplicable. The Milwaukee, Bt. Paul aud Detroit delegations went out on the sidewalk and cheered for Cleveland. Resolutions thanking the Hon. William Dickson, the resident member of the com* mittee, aud tho local reception committee ter their excellent care aud attention to the national committee were adopted, imd tht committee adjourned.
