 At this sally the audience which evidently
 had surplus of enthusiasm, broke into
 cheers. Dewees made 8 vigorous opening
 speech in which he first reviewed the call for
 and objects of the convention, and then wig
 orously denounced both the old parties and
 the money power. He was frequently ap
 plauded. At the close he nominated Hon. l Gilbert De La Matyr for temporary chairman.
 At the appearance of De La Matyr the con-
 vention rose to it's feet and gave him enthu-
 siastic cheers. The usual committees were appointed. While the roll of States was be- | ing called for list of members of the several 1 committees a New York delegate created l sensation by rising and moving that the pie
 ture of Hon. Zach Chandler, which hangs
 over the chairman's desk, be taken down. He l was ruled out of ordex During the progress of routine business an excited debate broke 1 out over the pictures which the Republican | convention left hanging about the hall. There ! were conflicting motions, half dozen men speaking at once, and considerable confusion,
 but at last the whole matter was tabled.
 A memorial was presented from the Wo- man Suffrage Association asking the conven- l tion to put a woman suffrage plank in its platform. The convention then took re- 1 cess until 7:3O.
 1 The convention reassembled promptly at
 7:30 p. m. There were about eight hundred | delegates on the floor and between 5000 and I 1000 spectators in the galleries. The com
 mlttee on permanent organization
 was not ready to report, and the first 1 hour spent in listening to speeches
 from leading Greenbackers and Green | back songs from male quartette. l The first delegate called on for a speech was Denis Kearney of California who is here 1 and took part in the proceedings of the con 1 vention this afternoon. Kearney was not in l the hall however, and so others had to be | listened to. The first speeches of the even 1 ing were made by MT. Wallace member of l the Canadian Parliament, and E. w. Wright, 1 who are here as representatives of the Cur ! rency Reform League of Canada. Both
 made speeches which pleased the convention 1 and the galleries very much, and the latter | brought the audience up to high pitch of l excitement by his sharp hits at the Republi- 1 can and Democratic parties While the Californians were talking Rear l ney came in and after they had cheered the | convention insisted on hearing him He | mounted the platform and addressed the con 1 vention for over an hour His speech was plentifully loaded with his peculiar epithets l and slang, but it was less denunciatory than most of his efforts and was notable in some particulars. After paying his respects to Conkling for the latter's sneering allusions to him in the Republican convention, he devoted himself exclusively to the discussion of the Chinese question He explained in detail the system of slave labor inaugurated and main l tained by what are known as the six Chinese companies, and insisted that the people would not tolerate continuance of that system. He 1 declared that he knew positively that Garfield could not get one-third of the votes of Califor mia, Oregon or Nevada on account of his posi- tion on the Chinese question. After Kearney's speech the convention adjourned till to nor row morning without having effected a per fnanent organization. The Pomeroy faction of Greenbackers are holding their National convention in FarweIl Hall. Ralph H. Boyt was made temporary chairman A long discussion was held over raising S100 to pay for the .hau Democratic State Conventions. INDIANAPOLIS June 9.-The Democratic l State convention met this morning The l convention was called to order by Col. B. c. 1 Shaw, chairman of the Central Committee. | Ex-Governor Thomas A. Hendricks was se- lected as permanent chairman. Hendricks 1 name aroused the utmost enthusiasm, the 1 delegates rising to their feet, cheering and 1 yelling, throwing up hats and waving hand | kerchiefs and other articles Hendricks was | called for and approached from the commit 1 tee room. As he came in front of the dele 1 gates the vast assemblage rose almost en masse and gave him royal salutation lasting | two three minutes. When it had sub- l sided he addressed the convention. | The platform reafhrms the Democratic prin- 1

 BALTIMORE, Md, June 9.-The State Demo cratic convention to select delegates to the 1 National convention at Cincinnati met to day The resolutions are of the usual Democratic stripe, and the convention does not consider that the delegates to Cincinnati should be in structed. The convention declares, however it's sense of the distinguished ability and ser vices of Thomas Francis Bayard, of Della ware. His unblemished public and private character commands the confidence and re- spect of the people of the United States. It resolved that 1t is the sense of this con- l vention that in making the Democratic nomi- nation for President of the United States the l two-thirds rule be strictly adhered to- When the name of Bayard read the convention broke into the most enthusiastic and long ap- plause Delegates were chosen and the con- vention adjourned

 How the Nomina tIons are Regarded.
 NEW YORK, June 9.-Although the wave of 1 public excitement that has surged through this city during the past week has subsided and the great convention has passed into his tory, yet to-day among Republicans in vari- ous parts of the city the merits of the candi- dates were earnestly discussed. There was by no means unanlmlty of opinion as to the choice. Some were inclined to think that General Arthur would injure the ticket, as his record is one of fierce hostility to the present administration, and Sherman in particular would not be inclined to take kindly to him. Others maintained, on the contrary that it was necessary to conciliate the third termers smarting under defeat, and that Arthurs name on the ticket would incline the formidable Grant phalanx to rally around the nominees. Wayne Mo Veagh, of Philadelphia, who returned from Chlcago yesterday, Whlther he had gone as representative of the National Union League opposed to the nomination of Grant, said ''I regard the nomination as an excellent one. The Republican party has been saved. The action of the convention enfranchised every individual member of the party and gives the death blow to political dictatorship in the States Republican statesmen will hereafter be simply leaders, not bosses, the merit alone of the man determining his position in the party. The battle was fought not only on the third term issue, but on the abroga- tion of the unit rule and the relief of States from the domination of political bosses. General Garfield carry Pennsylvania against any man the Democrats may name"
 Rumors of all sorts are rife among the Democrats. Among the rest is one that Til den will soon announce his withdrawal from the field, now that Grant has been shelved by the Republicans. The preparations for the Cincinnati convention are almost
