n Grand Opening.
CHICAGO. July s.-The day opens suspi-
ciously for sll the purposes of 8 great con-
yention held in the heat Of July, save that
there is mist in the air, which may grow
into rain. The air is cool and brscing. and
Summer apparel does not burden the per
son. Crowds began TO gather in the
vicinity Of the great Hall in which the
Democratic National Convention is being
held at an early hour in the day /; the door
tenders and ushers reported for duty at
8 o'clock. with people then in waiting to
enter and secure their seats inside the
auditorium. However there was an sp'
proach to choose. Lsborers are still be-
ing engaged in giving the finishing
touches, after having been employed dur
ing all of the preceding night. They did
not desert the main platform, where the
decorations were being hung. within
half an hour of the time an

so with its seating of 4 200 auditors.
Every seat in the vast smphithester sp-
pesred to be occupied, the audience hav-
ing its full quota Of the fair portion Of
humanity in holiday attire. Ii is conced-
ed that in the picturesque arrangement
and design of the hall, it excels that Of
the convention of four weeks ago.

First Illinois Regiment took position
above the speakers platform, and burst
forth with a mstin, which also proved
the signal for the arrival of the first dele
gates from Tennessee leading the van.
From that moment the crowd stresmed,
without ceasing, until st noon, when the
hall had its full complement of people.
OF THE GATHERING.
The breach in the ranks Of the New
York delegation is being used as S very
effective weapon by the opponents OF Mr..
Cleveland, and there is everything to indi-
cate that the Southern delegates will move
toward Bayard or Mcdonald, and 10 this
end those who have been startled st the
size and character Of the Cleveland move
ment are now working. Indiana is being
urged to stand by their fsvorite, and not
be tempted from their present line OF
action by the Vice-Presidentisl offer.
Speaker Carlisle arrived from Washington
this morning, and goes to swell the sciive
force of revenue reformers now on the
ground. The Committee on Resolutions
Is generally regarded as having 8 majority
for s conservative platform. Il will con-
tain, however, extremists Of both vices,
aud Anumber whose position have no. been
Clearly defined. In any action of the com
mittee there will be s majority and
minority report. 1t is now believed thsi
the subject may have to be fought on the
door Of the convention. Another thing,
which now appears certain 10 occur, is s
tight in open convention over the unit
rule, and Notwithstanding the claims madt
yesterday by Tammany, 9 portion of the
Cleveland people declare they are ready
for the contest also, and will defeat il BIZ q
handsome majority.
The arrival Of the California delegation,
carrying 8 banner ct their head, provoked
the FIRST o1tburst of enthusiasm in the
body of the audience, and the cheering was
hearty. The presence Of distinguished
leaders among the delegates did not appear
to be caught by the crowd, and there was
no applause 10 mark their arrival. This
held true until the familiar
