Facts and Rulnors from Baltimore.
From Tuesdays Sun.
Many business houses displayed flags in
| honor of the occasion, and all the public
| buildings of the city and hotels were sim
| larly orilalnentrd, so that with these dCc0ra
| tionS. and the tllrongS on the streets, and the
| stir and hustle and excitement everywhere,
and the crowds on the street cars, the city
| appeared at its best. At the I(ainc's Hal
| headquarters, corner Of Baltimore street and
| Pust-Oncc avcnrc. there was n crowd al
| day, with numerous applicants for rcglstra
| ton. Much excitement existed in regard tc
| tho visiting clubs from Philadelphia and
Washington, for whose reception so mucl
preparation has been made. The turnout tC
receive the visitors was very crcditablc ano
| the hospitality layiSh-in keeping with the
| time-honorcd custom of the city 10 treat al
| strangers with the best.
In the afternoon there was no abatement
of the stir on the streets, even during the
hottest part Of the day. AS on Sunday, tho
hotels were like bce-hivcs, and all the dclcg"'
tons headquarters were thronged. The Car
rollton and Barnuln's were particularly busy
MARCHING on.
When things were at the highest during
the morning at the Carrolton, James G.
Madigan, of Missouri, surrounded by Il mum
Der Of other delegates, addressed from the
main stairway a crowd in the lobby, talking
Greeley and Brown. After his remarks The
| crowd joined him in singing Marching
On" and In cheering Greeley, Brown, and
success. The samo spirit prevailed every
where" marching on"
"a WEAK INVENTION OF THE ENEMY"
The city was flooded with documents and
affect the minds of delegates, and if possible
to create dsselsons. 1t is suspected that
the money to pay for this kind of operations
comes out of the Radical electioneeriDg
fund, made up of assessments on the many
thousand ofljcc-holderS throughout the coun.
try, and distributed by the Congressional
Committee in Washington. One paper,
which was extensively circulated last night,
was signed "a Jeifersonian Democrat" and
set forth long string of reasons why Charles
Sumner should be nominated for President.
There was another document directed
| against Mr.. Greeley signed ga Bourbon
| Democrat" The concluding sentence of this
| latter document concludes with the follow
| ing threat: "Should this Convention nomi-
nate Mr.. Greeley all true Democrats will be
invited to remain here and make the prelimi-
nary arrangements for the nomination OF
Democratic candidates, and placing before
the people Democratic platform, that our
| party may be saved disSraceful humiliation
of compromising with sorc-llead faction
and taking ore of them as our leader"
