CtxcIyNArI. OHIO, June 22.-The hrst Gay
of the Convention opened with ciouuy'
hot day rs TO the weather, and misty uE-
certainty as 10 the final result. NO one ven
lures TO predict il.
THE contest for combinations during the
pj..ht was very spirited. Many OF the dele
cations were in session till 4 A. NJ, WINE
tbe streets were filed with parading CLUBS
and bands TIL after daylight.
Tilden was very generally taken at MS
word. as telegraphed yesterday, by all OF
the delegations at their subsequent mcet-
inos. though few individual delegates
threaten TO present his name TO the Conven-
tion. The real work to-day appears TO DE
in support OF Bayard and Payne. Ihey
sill lead all other candidates. but even their
best friends fear that they will not be aDle
TO carry the Convention. IL IL conceded
that Thurman and Hendricks are oct OF The
race. The ONO delegation have already
broken on Thurman, though they VIII give
him complimentary votes, and Indiana mas
secured 80 recruits for Hendricks.
THE SOUTHERN DELEGATIONS
with great unanimity agree to support any
candidate that New York may agree upon,
but the latter continue to be split up over
PAYNE and Pratt, and English, OF Connec-
cut. The Tiden men in the delegation,
headed by Payne's son.in-law, are working
closely for Payne, and claim this morning
forty votes for him. The rest OF the dele

The friends Of Bayard this
morning claim for him 200 votes on the first

HARMONY AND CONFIDENCE.
The Democratic speeches at the hotels last
night were all 10 the same effect. There
was not speaker who did not say he was
for the Cincinnati nominee, and that this
wear the candidate would not only be elect
ed. but would be man who on the 4ih OF
March next would be inaugurated. The
point of being inaugurated is very much ill.,
sisted upon.
The " first, last, and all the time" busi-
ness is confined to Indiana, whose delegates
are protesting too Loudly aud ficrcely their
everlasting devotion TO Hendricks. the i'm
possibe candidate. Ii he had stuck TO the
:. old ticket" he would have been nominated
in the event Of Tildra's Withdrawal. AS
The case stands, "he will be buried in the
ruins" The Enquirer this morning says
that portion OF toe delegation was "indlg-
mating" last night, and protesting against
treason TO Thurman. The Indiana dele
gates also held meeting, and protested
against the wdely-circulated story that In
diana was for Mcdonald rather than Hen
bricks. The two October States protesting
makes the situation very interesting.

The Commercial this morning says /:
" We are OF the opinion that nOtwithstand-
ing the confusion Of copbinafions and per-
plexity OF booms, SeDAtor Mcdonald, OF
Indiana, is likely 10 he the Garfield OF the
with possibly Potter OF New
York, English or Ingersol OF Connecticut,
or Parker or Randolph OF New JERSEY,
Vice President; and II an eastern dark
horse should be nominated for President,
Mcdonald would be Immediately in the way
OF the vice. presidency"
AN ISsPIgIrING SCENE.
The scene on the meeting Of the Con-
yention was quite an inspiritiDg one, an ;
visitors were not only impressed with the
grandeur of the Exposition Hall, but the
beauty OF the decorations. The delega-
tons were marked by banners of blue silk
in letters Of gold. while from the ceiling
there depended the flags OF all nations.

The centre to the ends OF the ball. The
terlaced seats in the rear OF the stage
were occupied by ladies in respondent
colors, giving the background OF the presi-
dents chat: beautiful appearance. AS
the delegates and spectators filed into their
seats, the great organ and the band alter
mated in playing the national airs, while
the galleries cheered Hampton, Randall,
ard other leading Democrats as they march,
ed TO their seats.
