The blue and white high stiff hats of the uni
| formed clubs were everywhere during the day.
These were the distinguishing badge
OF the Democracy everywhere Aside
from this, the clubs were uniformed or
| not uniformed as suited their several tastes.
/ The Cook County Democratic Club who, in addi-
tlon to the ever-present white tile wear the blue
yacht cloth suits, orange silk gloves and lighe
canes, We're kept busy all day receiving kindred
| headquarters Among the first to arrive were
the Americus and Samuel J. Randall clubs of
Philadelphia. The former were attired in
/ oroWnlsh gray uniform, with cutaway coats and
| headed by the famous Woccacoe band, the latter
wearing silk badges conspicuously lettered in
| gold bullion with the name of their favorite.
Later In the day the New York County Democ-
racy came in body undistinguised by uniform
/ except as to hats

| later the Irving Hall delegation from New

and the list of important arrivals for the day

/ cratic Club and the Americas and Samuel J.
Randall clubs, and headed by the New York
j Seventh Regiment band. they were largely con
| spicuous for linen busters and portmanteaus
The coming of this famous organization had
/ been the theme of anxious inquiry all day, and
| there was an unusually large gathering of peo-
/ pie on the streets to see them.
/ The crowded hotels have been the scenes of
| incessant electioneering, and while many ex-
| trayagant claims are being made as to the
| strength of the various candidates, the truth is
| that pending the caucus of the New York dele
cation there is no change in the situation to
chronicle. Everything still hinges on the action
1 OF the Empire State delegates. There seems to
| be very little doubt but that Cleveland has
majority of these, and provided he is supported
IN the convention with any degree of unanimity
| by his own State, not only his avoWed support J
ers, but also some of the delegations that are |
willing to support any available man, claim that
he will receive the nomination. 1t is said that
the Western States recognize the fact that |
where the electoral problem is to be |
solved is in the East, and are willing TO concede
the first place on the ticketto an Eastern man. 1t
is also asserted that all indications show that |
Jc n hnfao
Buffers friends are very hopeful to-day, but |
his opponents claim that his boom. which was |
launched so brilliantly yesterday is already on |
the decline. The reason for this assertion is |
| the position taken by some Southern delegates
who arrived to-day The Bayard adherents
claim to have developed great strength in the
South and in number of Western States, and
contend that, with favorable showing in New
York, the Delaware senator will take com
manding position early in the balloting.
Everett T. Wheeler, president of the New
York Free trade League, with about twenty
members Of the league, is here, urging the neces-
sity of tariff reform, and will bend his energies
to secure the Insertion of plank in the plat
form meeting the expressed views of the league
It was stated to-day that Monsignor Capel the
Roman prelate, would be requested to open the
convention with prayer.
Some Of the delegates, especially those from
the South, are 10th to accept Tildens letter Of /
withdrawal as final, and talk of his nomination |
anyhow. The Daily News will say on this subject
1t may be said authoritatively, however, that |
Daniel Manning has in his pocket |
letter from Mr. Tilden to meet |
Just such contingency as this. |
Should4 Tilden's admirers insist on bringing his
name before the convention this document will |
be read and it is safe to say it will reiterate and
emphasize his letter of declination 1t is fur
ther understood that this paper will be fiat

the Sage of Graystone will be asked to tranfer I
