CINCINNATI, June 22 This morning
found speculation still wild az to the
probable action of the Convention, and
only one thing seemed certain, viz:
that q ballot will not be reached very
early. Bayard exhibited strength, bat
Payne appeared strong enough to lead
him on the first ballot If the New York
Tildsn men hold their seats. However,
all conjecture is idle. The Music Hall
began TO ill soon after eleven O'Clock,
the seating capacity being perhaps
about one half that Of the building
used at Chicago. The platform is at
the west end Of the hall, aad there are
galleries on the north and south sides.
These were filed with spectators, quite
O number Of whom were ladies.
The position for the delegates in the
body Of the hall ia indicated by blus
silk bannerets, edged with gold, and
bearing the names Of the different
States. A profusion Of bunting decor
sted the sides and windows, and blue
canvas, bearing the words "0hio greets
the nation" hangs from the centre Of
the ceiling. The large organ at the
back Of the platform and military
band afford plenty ofmusic.
Among the decorations brought by
the delegates were some handsome ban
ners-one OF dark velvet, with me
dallion- portrait Of Ssmuel J. Randall;
another with an embroidered owl, In
dicating the Americus Club, and yet
another with the likeness Of Hendricks
and the words: "Indiaua-For Presi-
