CINCINNATI, June 22.-Music Hall was crowdedin every available niche by 12 o'clock The force of officers is good, but the regula- l tions about seating are not equal to those at
 Chicago. The officers are if anything Of fcious rather than efficient. The decorations ! are more sartistie than those at Chicago, the banners marking the location of the delega- ! tions being of a deep blue silk bordered and | lettered in gold. Along the line of demarca- ! tion between the delegates and alternates a ! handsome silk banner is suspended. Flags of all nations decorate the upper windows,
 and American flags are stretched in profusion around the hall There were about two thirds as many people present as were in the l convention hall on Lake Michigan The l number of ladies present greatly exceeded that of the Chicago convention at the first session.
 Ex-Senator Barnum, of Connecticut called the convention to order at 12:45. Prayer was offered by Rev. Charles w. Wendte, of the Unitarian church. MT. Barnum then, by direction of the Ma tional Committee, presented the name of George Hoadley, of Ohio, for temporary chairman. Agreed to- Messrs William L. Scott and H. D. McHenry were appointed to conduct him to the chair. Judge Hoadley's approach to the platform was greeted with applause.
 The judge proceeded to address the con- vention. He thanked them for their compli- mentary action in putting him into the chair. He pledged himself to the strictest imparti- alty in the administration of the duties as- signed to him. This was the only adequate method by which he could testify his gratitude. As chair an he should be neither friend nor foe of any candi- date, though he had his favorite, in whose behalf he was both earnest and partisan. He took the ground that the representatives here were not delegates of Congressional dis tricts but representatives of indestructible States. (Subdued applause) He proceeded with some laudation of the Democratic party, for which this convention would he said, make no new creed; which had it's own vital ity, and which would not depend for it's fu- ture on the success of its ticket or be crushed out by it's defeat. Their duties here were simply to declare the party's will. The occa- sion was one of great interest and impor- tance. At St. Louis four years ago they placed in nomination two of the foremost men of the nation. (Great applause, the del egates rising in their seats and cheering and waving fans.) He asserted that they were as certainly elected as Washington or Monroe (Subdued applause.) He denounced the Re- publican party as one of fraud, which cheat ed the people out of their choice, thus prov ing their infdelity to Republican principles. But if the Democratic party should again be successful, no cunning device of dishonest bitration should rob them of the fruits of their victory. (Applause.) Although the Democrats failed to inaugurate their candi- dates their cause was not wholly lost. They defeated the attempt to steal the State gov ernment of Florida, and no trace remained of the carpet-bag government in the South ex- cept $170, GOO, ,OOO of State debts accumulated by them as a burden upon the people, and the fact that Louisiana has only one rightful Sen ator in Congress. (Applause.)
 The remaining temporary officers were then appointed, F. O. Prince, of Massachu- setts, being temporary secretary with seven assistants and seven reading clerks, ser geant- arms and official stenographer. MT. Bebee, of New York, presented a resolu-
  vention govern the present one until oth erwise ordered adopted. motion was made that the roll of8 delegates be called for members of the committees on permanent or ganization, credentials and resolutions An Iowa delegate moved that the committee on rules be added. Smith M. Weed, of New York, suggested that 1t was the practice that the roll of delegates should be called, and that the chairman of each delegation should present the credentials of his delegation. This was the next business in order and the only way in which the status of members of the convention could be defined. He asked that the original motion be with drawn and his motion substituted. After some discussion the original motion was adopted and call of States ordered to be called. When Senator McDonald's name was annouced as the Indiana member of the committee on credentials it was applauded. There was much disorder in the hall during the calling over of the committee announce ments, delegates conversing together and many standing and moving about Henry Watterson's name was cheered as 1t was called for committee place.
 As the call of States proceeded and New York was reached, there was an exciting scene that threatened at one time to cause much trouble. The belligerent John Kelly was sit ting with the other Tammany sachems imme- diately in the rear of the space reserved for delegates and in the first row of alternates. When the clerk. called for New York and the names were announced Kelly sprang to his feet and began to shout fsMr. Chairman" The Chair paid no attention to him until he repeated the third time, 'sMr. Chairman" and cheers and misses had begun to be deaf ening Then Judge Hoadley rose, and with compressed lips and stern demeanor ordered the calling of the roll to continue.
 Kelly-Mr. Chairman MT. Chairman
 Judge Hoadley-The convention will come to order.
 Kelly remained standing and continued to demand the attention of the convention He essayed to speak, but the noiseand confusion was so great that he. could not be heard ten feet away.
 Judge Hoadley-The sergeant -at-arms will enforce order. Gentlemen claiming to be delegates must wait until their cases have been passed upon by the convention
 Kelly insisted upon being heard, and Judge Hoadley shouted to the sergeant -at-arms to preserve order. Put the man down, put him down I sayi
 John B. Hostins sprang to his feet and at tempted to speak, but the confusion and shouting were such that his words were not heard by any of the delegates. The sergeant at-arms and policeman moved over towards the Tammany section, and seeing it was use-s less to continue the struggle in the face of such opposition Kelly resumed his seat. The episode created a great deal of excitement among the delegates and guests After it's settlement Hoadley called one of his assist ants and directed him privately to go to Kel- ly and say that he could not recognize him until he was admitted as regular delegate
 After the roll call was completed the chair announced that the committee rooms at the rear of the hall were at the dis posal of the committees. s. M Weed, of New York, moved to adjourn. Mr. Avery, of Massachusetts, moved that the adjournment, when taken, be until 10 g. m tomorrow. A Delaware delegate moved to amend that it be to o'clock this evening Mr Hill, of Ohio, said he had resolution he desired to offer. The Chair asked if it was an amendment to the amendmept Mir Hill said no and proceeded to state that it was a resolution instructing the secretary of the convention to issue tickets to all editors of the Democratic press making personal application. The amendment to the adjournment resolu-g ton was withdrawn, and Mir. Hill then of fered his resolution which was declared in order by the Chair, and was read as follows:
 Resolved, That recognizing the great services tonal campaigns the secretary of this convention hereby instructed to issue press tickets persons who are bona dde editors of Democratic papers who make personal application for the same
