Assembling OF the Convention.
CINCINNATI, June 22.--The convention is
rapidly assembling at 1879 Il. M, in the spa
cious Music hall, whose beauties have been too
often described to require any further notice
now. In general appearance 1t is Il rounded
obloug, being but little larger in length than
breadth. Tho platform is in the western end,
while on the opposite end and on the northern
aud southern sides are galleries for spectators
these galleries being largely occupied by
ladies. The main body of the hall is assigned
to the delegates and their alternates, whose
positions are indicated by neat ban
nerets of blue silk edged with gold, bear
ing the names of the respective states.
The upper galleries are decked with Ameri-
can flags, while at the windows the flags of all
Municipalities are flying In the centre of the
hall is suspended blue canvas bearing the
motto, "Ohio greets the nation" The general
effect of the hall is very pleasant but its seat
ing capacity is less than half of that i'll which
the Chicago convention was held. In this re-
spect it has greatly the advantage, however,
because all its occupants can see and hear.
Back of the platform the great organ discusses
its music, and in the main gallery at the oppo-
site end of the hall military baud is stationed.
Shields on either side of the organ, each bear.
ing thirteen stars and the national stripes bear
also the words, Peace, good will, prosperity.
happiness" at one side, and Abundance, VIC
tory, commerce, enterprise" on the other. The
arrangements for the press, though moderately
good, are not equal to these at Chicago, having
been controlled here by men without export.
oncc as to the necessities of the case and with
out disposition to seek Information from those
who know best what Is required. 1t follows
that there is n great deal of loud complaint OH
the part of the press representatives, some of
it certainly we'll grounded.
Among the prominent men on the platform
are to be seen Representatives Reagan of'rexas
Atkins of Tennessee, Forney of Alabama Har
ris of Virginia, Blackburn of Kentucky, Hill
of Ohio, Springer of Illinois. Also ex.Reprc-
sentatives Banning and Rice of Ohio, and
John G.. Thompson, sergeant-at.alms of the
house of representatives.
At noon the organ played medley of ma
tional airs with excellent effect, elciting
much applause. About two.thirds of tho del
esates are in their seats. The platform and
galleries arc well filed. II is now 1890, and
tho convention has not yet been called to
order.
CALLED TO ORDER.

man of the democratic national committee

est impartialily in the administration of the
duties assigned 10 him. This was the only
adequate method by which he could testify his
