ESPECIAL TsLEsRAM TO THE NEwal
BALTIMORE, Sunday Night, July 7-lo O'Clock.
The South Carolina delegation are all here.
The presence of ex-senator Chestnut e1cites
much attention, ,rand the entire delegation re.
ceive hearty welcome. -.
The Greeley men count with certainty on
ak hundred Of the seven hundred and fifty
eight delegates, and have everything their
own way. Crowds are assembled tonight
around the street corners and hotel corridors
discussing the situation. Every unlucky
Democrat who opposes Greeley Is Immediate
ly. .Glsssed among Grants supporters. The
only trouble expected will be among the
Pennsylvania delegation. Otherwise the con-
vention bids fair to be perfectly harmonious.
The ohairmanship Of the Democratic CEN
tral committee Is TO be filed after the conven-
etion has finished Its labor. Other sections
concede the. position to New York City, for
the reason that 1t Is better to have 1t filled by
man Of wealth. The choice seems 10 lie
between Augustus sohell and James 8. Thayer,
both men OF great wealth and intelligence.
The former is largely interested with Commo-
dore Vanderbilt; the latter is a retired manu-
faoturer OF agricultural implements.
A large number Of Greeley men are deter
mined to read out OF the party every promi-
nent Democrat and Democratic newspaper
falling tosupport the nominees Of the conven-
tion. Congressman Beck, Of Kentucky, leads
this movement as against the Chicago Times,
New. York World, Daniel ". Voorhees, and
other such papers and men. Y 1t has been sug-
gested by Belmont's friends that he make this
move in advance in his opening speech, to
help him in his battle fol, reelection to the
chairmanship Of the central committee. But
even this would hardly avail to save him. he
is doomed, and schell or Thayer will hereaf.
ter occupy his place. The enthusiasm for
Greeley is quiet, but Intense. The city is
crowded. The delegations already arrived
ars mostly from the Southern aud Western a1!
States near by. The Northern delegations are
all expected tomorrow. A large number of
Southern tourists, on their way to the North.

BALTIMORE, Monday, July $40 P. n.
All the vital points Of the organization Of the
Convention are virtually settled. Jefferson
Randolph, of Virginia, q grandson Of Thomas
Jefferson, will be the temporary chairman.
The vote for the Presidential candidate will be
taken BY ballot as regular nomination. Au-
gustus schel, of New York, will be elected
chairman of the National Executive Commit
tse. and either Thomas A: Hendricks, Of Indi-
ana, or General J. A. McClernand, of Illinois,
will be permanent presideht'of the Conven.
ton. Hendricks is not delegate, but his
friends propose 10 let a delegate resgn and
elect him to the vacancy. Hendricks is e1-
pected tomorrow. II he does not come Nc
C,ernand Is certain to be elected.
An effort will be made to get through to-
morrow, but 1t is very doubtful II this can be
done. The city Is thronged, and hundreds
more are arriving on every train. The great
est difficulties are experienced In finding

Every indication points to perfect harmony
of action. Bill McMullen, notorious Phia-

reduced to eighteen out Of flfty-eight dele
