bers of the Cook County Democratic
club, who in addition to the g Fel
present white tile, wear blue yacht
cloth suits, orange elk gloves and
light canes, were kept busy all day
receiving kindred organizations and

Randall clubs Of Philadelphia, the
former attired in a brow nlsh grey
uniform with cutaWay CO is and
headed by the famous Woccacoe
band; the latter wearing silken
badges conspicuously lettered in

body, undistinguished by uniform
except as to hats. Abont 4 O'Clock
the Mcdonald Club of Indian apolis,
$50 strong, and bearing large bans
ners, on which was the portrait Of
the Indiana candidate, was escorted
to the Palmer House. An hour later
Irving Hall delegation from New

arrivals for the day closed at 6 30 by
the appearance Of Tammany Hall,
occupying TWO special trains and
numbering about 600. AS its mem
bers marched no LaSalle street,
escorted by Cook County Demo-
cratic Club and the Americus and
Samuel J. Randall Clubs, and
headed by the New York Seventh
Regiment Band, they were largely
cen picuous for linen busters and
pOrtmanteaus. The coming of this
famous organization hal been the
anxious inquiry all day, and there
was an unusually large gathering Of
people on the strests to Sea them.
It was stated TO day that Mons'gnor
Capel, the Roman preJate, would be
requested to open the convention
with prayer.
The event Of the dav was the arri-

at Rochester the Tam many train
stopped ut the Central depot, where
LOCO people were pre- ,ent to see it.
Kelly was called out of the car. and
ne spoke as follows: "Ci;izens of
Rochester-AlloW me to conGratu-
late you on this evidence of what
appears to bs your interest in the
political affairs of the nation. When
I see 80 many anxious faces take it
that you are anxious to know whom
Tammany Hall favors for Presi-
dent. Let me fret ask you whom
do you favorp cloud cries of "Til-
den" "ButleH," and "Bayard.'0 Mr..
Kelly, continuing, said: "We have
been greeted all along the line by
crowds of citizens since we left New
York. It is safe to say that nine
tenths Of all those people do not
favor the nomination of Governor
Cleveland for President. We believe
it would be disastrous 10 the Demo-
cratic party 20 nominate him. I
think that the expression of the
working classes, as recently mani
tested In decided opposition TO
Cleveland, ought to have some effect
on the delegates. Our only hope
and expectation is that the national
delegates will listen to the warning
and nominate man who will meet
the expectation of the Democratic
masses. It does not matter to us
who that man may be, so he will be
one who can win, In view
of the opposition expressed by
Republicans against their nominee,
we should ends avor to nominate
man who is oppo ite to what he is.
Their nominee is charged by
his own party with dishonesty while
Speaker of the House OF Represent
tatiVes. They charge that he has
gfoWn rich In the public service,
and it is hardly necessary for as to
repeat the accusation. for hi, own
party is keeping these accusations
before tue public now. as Cover
nor Cleveland has against him the
organized labor party of every State
in the Union it would be political
suicide for the Democratic party to
nominate him. Ytu have here
your own representative. He is
safe, careful and prudent; his adj
vice is always good for you to fol-
low. | now bid you good night"
At Utica, N. Y, The Tammany
train was greeted by cannon and
an immense crowd. John Kelly. in
response to calls, appeared on the
car platform, and in the course of
his remarks said:
"We are all Democrats. and are
going to Chicago to nominate the
next President. Tammanv Hall

national Democracy, but 1t will be
