DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION,

| TUESDAY mOkNlN0. JUNE 10, 1896.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.
| The Democratic National Convention re-
assembled at Baltimore yesterday. The only
difficulty in the organization will be the con-
testing delegations from Louisiana, Alabama
and Georgia, in each OF which States the
friends OF Mr.. Douglas, as well as his oppo.
nents, have appoinie delegations. The Balt.
more American has the following which will
| be interesting At this time:
The prospect of a solution of the Difficult.
| ties ehcompasstng the Convention appeared
| last evening to be- a shade be ttef. The promi.
nent men OF both sides were more inclined to
| taik calmly over the prospects Of the party
| and while the iirmness of neither section ap.
peared 10 be in the least degree shaken, ther.
seemed to be more lively appreciation of the
madness of disunion on the ues lion of caudi-
dates Stripped of all excitement, the follow.
| ing facts were regarded as settled:
| First.-That the Douglas men have a ma
| jority of the whole Convention, and nothing
| can be done outside OF the nomination Of can
| dida'cs without their consent.
| Oecond.-That Douglas cannot get a two
| third vote, and can only be nominated. il the
/! South remains in Convention, by the adop.
| tion of the majority rule, or if The seeding
! delegates remain out, by interpreting the two
| thirds rule to mean two-thirds Of those pre-
| sent AMI voting.
| positive
| strength to prevent the nomination Of any
| other candidate, unless acceptable to his sup.
porters.
Under these circums tances numerous rep
| resentatives from the South are urging upon
the whole South the policy of nomina ting
Horaho Seymour, who has been admitted by
| the New York delegation TO be able to carry
4 that State. and thus putting New York IN the
eide whether they would abandon Douglas un-
| der any circumstances, or continue to support
| him TO the final end.
There is a strong Dickinson delegation al
| Barnums, urging the South 70 take him up as
| their candidate, but it is believed to be use.
| less, AS the New York delegation do not con
| slider that he could carry the State. Eras tus
| Corning is working hard for union OF come
| kind, believing the whole responsibility rests
| on New York. and she has il in her power tc
hold the Convention together, and should dc
| so at all hazards.
Mr. Gushing has decided not to give tickets
| to any delegates but those who remained anG
| acted with the Convention at Charleston, in
| conseq uence OF the violent demonstration o.
dissausfac ton which his reported determine
| tion of admitting only the anti. Douglas dele
| gates from the Southern States 10 the floor hao
| created.
| A resolution to admit the Seceders will b,
introduced, and the first difficulty Of the Con
| vention will arise on that question.
| 1t is believed that by the vote of New Yorl
most il not all, the seeding delegations viii
| be admitted to the floor, together with the con
| testing delegations from LOUISIANA, AIaOaUl;
and Georgia. If the question is referred Il
| the Committee on Credentials 1t Is said tina
| Mr.. Gushing will decide that the former Com
mit,ee is defunct This, however, Will be i'm
| material. on the formation OF a new Com
| mitte the various delegations will select thel
own members. Tue seeding delegation
| from the three States named may retus
| to come in on these terms. but II they d
| the backbone Of the secession movement viii
| be broken.
Its thought by some that Guthrie nigh
| possibly be nomir ated but the South will no
| agree upon him, the opposition OF some OF TN
| Southern delegations being very bitter.
| The Douglas men claim that he will have IL
| votes on the first ballot.
| An nattemp. will be made to reopen the plat
| form but the ma iority Will resol utely refus
| this until after the nomination is made. Their
| will then ii is said, be no objection on the par
| Of New York TO 60 with the South for the Zen
nessee resolution respecting the decision OF tn
l Supreme Court.
The hotels all present a crowded, bustlin
| appearance, and the influx of visitors expec te
| Today will evidently tax their capacity ~
accommodation to the fullest extent. bai
| NUNS City Hotel is the grand gathering pom
| where the crowd most persistently and Lblch
iy coagregate and indulge in the most anlma
: ted discussion of political events, past preser
and to come. A few fine suites OF apartment
are reserved for a part of the Keystone delegt

: here the delegations of New Hampshire, Col
I necticut. Indiana, Vermont, and part OF IL
i delegations from the States OF Rhode 1slan

9 The Ciiimor House is perfectly alive WI
