Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1880-06-22

northern and ON the southern sides
are galleries, being largely occupied by
ladies. The main body of the hall is as
signed to the delegates, and their alter
Mates whose positions are indicated by neat
banners of blue silk edged with gold,
bearing the names of their respective
states. The upper galleries are decorated
with American flags. while at the " indows
the flags of all nations are flying. In the
centre of the hall is suspended blue can
vass bearing the motto "Ohio Greets the
Nation"
The general effect Of the hall is very
pleasant, though its seating capacity is
less than half that in Chicago, but it has
great advantage over it because all can
see and hear. Back of the platform the
great organ discourses music, and in the
main gallery military band is stationed.
The arrangements for the press, though
moderately good, are not equal to those of
Chicago, having been controlled here by
men without experience as to the necessi-
ties of the case and without the disposition
to seek information from those who best
know what is required. 1t follows that
there is great deal of loud complaint on
the part OF press representatives some OF
it certainly well-grounded.
Among the prominent men on the plat
form are Representatives Reagan. Atkins,
Forney, Harris, Blackburn, Hill and
Springer.
The Convention Organized.
At 12:4O p. M, the convention was
called to order by ex-senator VIM. II.
Barnum, of Connecticut, chairman of the
national committee. Judge H oadley, of
Cincinnati, was elected temporary chair
man by acclamatiOn, and on assuming the
position was received with loud cheering.
He said he would be neither the friend nor
foe Ofany candidate in his rulings. He said
that Democratic principles were eternal
and would not be affected by the success
or failure of the nominee of this conven-
tion. His reference to the nomination of
Tilden was received with great applause,
the delegates rising to their feet and
cheering and waving hats and handker-
chiefs. Judge Hoadley predicted success
for the nominee of this convention. His
reference to a third term shows that the
newspaper reports that Grants name
might be considered by the convention
were entirely without foundation.
Judge HOadley said that four years ago
they nominated two of the foremost |
men of the nation. [Great applause.
The mention of Tildens name |
was signal for an outburst of
enthusiasm He asserted they were as
certainly elected as was Washington and |
Monroe. He denounced the Republican
party as one of fraud and infidelity to
republican principles but if the Democrats
should again be successful, no Gun
ming device should rob them of
the fruits of victory The following
were nominated and accepted as the re-
naming temporary officers? F. o. Prince
