FIRST DISTRICT.

ROW N TIE CAMP.
Union Hall has seen noisy times Never be-
fore, however, has it witnessed such disgraceful
scenes as took place there yesterday in the effort
to nominate Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the First District To describe tha
crowd it is only necessary to say that the two
classes Of Democrats were present,-the plugs
and the respectables. They belonged exclusive
II to neither factiou,-Caulic1d's or Hoxic's.
They we're found in each, and In great profu-
sion. The idea Of contest Was uppermost in
most minds, aud none we're disappointed It
Was clear from the start that there would be
trouble. It was In the air aud in the complex
ion Of the crowd, and the proceedings will show
how e7erybody's anticipations were realized.
Promptly at II o'clock, Gen. Corsc, Chairman
OF the Congressional Committee, raped On tho
tahle and called the elements to order In
mediately r. f. GoodeE jumped up and no1ni-
mated E. F. CulIerton for temporary Chairman
Somebody else nominated Gen. Corse. Howls
of approval and dissatisfaction followed from
the representatives Of the two sides. Gen.
Corse tried to evoke order out Of the chaos, but
his cffo11s were fruitless. ]. H. Rea, one Of tho
respectables, who had taken a scat near the
front, tried to get hearing, and succeeded IN
saying that Gen. Corse should nominate the
temporary Chairman. He was rewarded for his
pains BY the pertinent observation from Gen.
Corse that he ought to take his seat
The noise continued, both sides tEying to get
a hearing, and Gep. Qprss advising and entreat-
ing all parties to come to order, and not behave
like q lot OF schoolboys. He managed to re-
store partial quiet, and read the published CALL
Having got this duty of his mind, he nominated
4. D. Waidron, OF Hyde Park, IS temporary
Chairman.
r. E. Gooden jumped up and renewed his
nomination of E. F. Cullerton.
Gen. Corse put his nomination Of Mr. Wal
d1on, and the affirmative votes certainly were IN
the majority, although the noes we're loud and
vigorous.
and appealed from the decision Of tie Chair.
Gen. Coree-I have decided.
Everybody now esteemed It his duty to uosnv
proclaim that he appealed from the decision OF
the Chair.
Gen. Corse introduced NJ. Waldron as tenn
porary Chairman. The Forsythe crowd, the
Supporters Of Barney Caul1cld, received the an
nounccment With evident disgust, while tho
Hoxie men, led by Mr.. Rea and other respecta-
BILE gentlemen, looked quietly on, their more
noiSy pa5sans expressing thetr aggregation
moveable amidst the noise and confusion.
John Forsythe put the nomination Of Cul-
lerton, and the responses were deafentng: There
were cries for Cullerton and cries for Waldron-
One took his stand at the LETT and the other at
the right Of the reporters table, their respective
pa1tisans crowding around. Alr. Waldron in
vain endeavored 70 secure order.
Mr.. Rea, In spite OF the din, managed to get T.
hearing, anu said it WIS usual Tor the Chairman
Of the Congressional Committee to appoint =
temporary Chairman, who WIS to appoint :ho
Committee on Credentials That Committee
was to saw who should vote.
