This Mornings Proceedings.

he'd by the name or the "Colosseum,"
was the center OF attraction for our
citizens of Democratic faith who, ac-
cording to announcement, met there to
ticket with which to try con-
illusions with that of the Republicans
made yesterday at Turner Hall.
John NJ. Hinkle, Esq, Chairman of the
committee intrusted with the duty of
selecting meeting place for the Con-
vention, did wise thing in securing the
The hall proper, which,
by the way, is capable OF seating two
Thousand people, Is on the first floor, is
we'll lighted, and with extensive CALLER
les for the b'hoys.
Its acoustic properties are tirst-rate,
too. To-day the star-spangled banner,
remnant of last years campaign, on
which was emblaz0Bed the name of Mil
ton Sayler, was flung to the breeze just
in front OF the platform to give to the
surroundings the air Of patriotism, as it
were.
The meeting was slow to organize,
and it was tull 1880 O'Clock before the
huge crowd congregated on the side
walk made its way into the hall. When
the delegates had nearly all filed in, Mr..
VIM. Lusby assembled the platform ana
informed the body that the hall must be
again cleared, and that upon re-enterimg
each delegate must surrender his badge.
This was found necessary in order to
keep out all but delegates, as the badges
were being transferred with astonishing
rapiditv. Thus another half hour was
wasted. At exactly IL O'Clock Mr.. Lus-
by raped for order, and appointed
John M. Hinkle, Thomas Meehan, Ed.
Males and VIM. Geilfus as committee
TO attend to the sitting Of the delegates,
which was accomplished with the usual
amount OF noise.

The first question that raised a bieeze
was a motion by Mir. W. j. O'Neil tha
in each delegation where there was {
contest each one should have a repre-
| sentation on the Committee on Creden
tials. After a good deal Of conte ntiou
the motion was carried.
1t was Dick Hurley, of the Sixth
| Ward, a friend of Jake Gardner, of thu
| Fourth, who made for Billy VNeil. Billy
was squelched lor time, but receiving
reinforcements of three policemen, whit
stood at his back, he again took th,
