PHILADELPHIA, June 6, ".
THE CROWD AND EXCITEMENT.
All the morning the streets are
crowded with vast throngs of people
moving to and fro. The day is delight
full and the display of bunting from the
public buildings all over the city is II
spectacle of the grandest character. AT
the Academy of Music flags are numer-
ously displayed, extending far across
the streets. The academy was filled
long before the hour for assemblage Of
the convention: The delegates were
all seated at about half past ten, enter
ing the hall amid the warmest demon
strations of enthusiasm.
TOO HOT FOR COATS.
IL A. M.-Every available space in
the Academy is taken up. The third
tier, which was yesterday mostly un-
occupied, is this morning literally
packed and many owing to the heat in
that quarter appear in their shirt
sleeves.
SOME DELAY.
The committee on platform not having
come in there was some delay in open
ing the second days session. At 10: 80
Chairman Settle called the Convention
to order. After music by the band the
roll of States was called, when the
presence of each was announced by the
Chairman of the respective delegations.
Here it was discovered that about 100
persons had obtained entrance surrep-
tituiously to the hall, all of whom were
expelled by the Sergeant-at-arms.
Prayer was offered by Rev. D. Har-
per of North Broad Street Church. He
spoke of the day as one which would
be memorable in the future; day
which was to record another page in
our national history, day in which
centered and around which clustered
not merely the welfare, but possibly
the destiny of the nation. He prayed
that the platform to be established
should be the embodiment of wise and
Just and humane principles, and that
the men to be selected to bear the ban
ner of the Republican party, and to I'LL
the highest places of honor and trust in
this land should be specially blessed
and that the efforts of the Convention
should be crowned with glorious sue
cess.
REJOICING OVER OREGON.

was held. Four years we have been
under Democratic rule, and now We
are Republican in the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Legislature. Three
cheers for Oregon"

MOVES IN HURRY.
An Ohio delegate called for "a Grip
pied soldier of that State, Gen. E. F.
Noyes." Noyes, advancing to the
platform, said that the failing of the
Ohio delegation was to talk less and
act more. He thought they ought to
finish their business and go home. He
was afraid that they would not be able
to 90 home tonight if they waited for
the report of the committee on platform
Therefore he wished to proceed with
the nominations at once and let the
platform come in afterward. He prom
ised for the nominees ofthe Convention
a larger majority than Ohio gave Grant
four wears ago. [Cheers.l There was
absolutely no disaffection in Ohio.
There had been a few Liberal Republi-
cans, as they are called, but they were
now ashamed of themselves and were
stronger friends of Grant now than
they were before. He persisted in the
opinion that the Committee should at
once proceed to the nomination OF
candidate for President. lCries OF
make the motion.l
In conclusion he moved to suspend
the rules and to proceed to nominate
President. Carried.

ago she sustained Grant because she re-
