THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY,
Their Convention at Robinsons
Opera-h0use To-day.

The streets in front Of R0bins0n's opera
house were crowded this morning for two
hours before the time set for the Convention to
open. Every ward in the city was represent
ed, both by It's delegates andsby large numbers
Of outside parties, who either had friends who
were to come before the Convention or were So
licitous on their account
Tickets of admission were in demand, but 1t
was thoroughly understood that none except
the delegates were to he admitted 10 the lower
part OF the house. The tickets were issued to
the delegates from the box-oifice, and every
one not holding tickets was rigidly excluded
until the delegates were seated, ana afOef that
| none oXce2t the more orderly portion were ad-
| mitted to the balconies The house was ad-
mirably arranged, sections being allotted to
| the different delegations.
No convention IN this city has opened with
| such excellent arrangements for many years.
Especial credit is due to Mr. John B Hinkle,
| Chairman Of the Committee on Hall, FOR the ex-
| cellent Engagements In every particular.
At ten O'Clock the delegates were admitted
to the hall, and took their seats with the utmost
quiet and decision. Some little amount OF dis
satisfaction was observable among the country
delegates, they having been assigned seats in
the dress circle, while the city delegation was
massed in the parquette.
| 1t is only proper to- add. however,, that SO
| many Of the county delegates as could be got
into the parquette had been assigned seats
| there by the Committee.
| Uncle JOHN Robinson was on hand at an
early hour, and at the opening OF the Convcn-
ton occupied a private box with Mayor john
ston and others. Among the notables present
were Hon. Il. L. T. Baber, author OF the Baber
Law; Hon. L. NJ. Jordan, His Honor Mayor
Johnston, Hon. III. b. Banning, Hon. W. I.

The spurious tickets printed yesterday were
freely circulated, but were soon found TO be
useless.
Commissioner Corbett, the prospective can
didate for Treasurer, was on hand at an early
hour, and working earnestly, as were also
Sclif, Neare aud Stevens, all OF whom were
