Delegates Arriving at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The California
aud nevada delegations to the demo-
cratic national convention arrived
this morning with full numbers,
making the first of the arrivals. A
portion of the New York delegation
also arrived, among whom may be
numbered Daniel Manning, chair
man of the delegation. The Califor-
mia delegation held a caucus during
the forenoon to outline their future
plan of action, but came to no final
decision. The hotel lObbies are scenes
of great activity. and the ~plaoarding
of the state headquarters has already
been commenced. The Railways and
Hobbies of all the leadin- hotels are
literally decorated with photographic
views of Roswell P. Flower.
CHICAGO, July g. The gathering
of the democratic clans a. Chicago
seems to be progressing but
slowly. A number of scattering
delegates from distant points aud one
solid delegation. that of Ca ifOrnia,
are here. but as yet things in the
local political world are comparative
" quiet The subcommittee on ar
rangements of the national commit
tee have been hard at work here for
the past week, but 50 far their lahOrs
have been all in arranging
and ~perfectirg the innumerable de-
tails of the convention. The changes
in the hall are all about completed
and it is expected that the theatre
chairs for the delegates and the other
seats will be put in position tonight.
It has been decided to light the hall
with electricity, which will not only
illuminate the building better, but
also insure q much cooler atmos-
phere.
w. H. Barnum, chairman of the
national committee, did not arrive
today as expected but will he here
in the morning. Among the pas :
onscrs on Tie New YORK limited ex-
press which came to-day were VIZ.
Manning, chairman of the New
York State committee, accompanied
by Edward Cooper and a dozen other
state Democrats. among whom are
two delegates. Mr.. Manning said
he didn't come here with music and
buster to nominate Cleveland, but
he came as q Democrat who believed
that the best interests of the party
would be subserved by Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination. According to
Manning's calculations Cleveland
will have 48, Or q majority of the
New York delegation. An important
caucus of the New York delegation
will be held here on Saturday
night, at which Cleveland's strength
will be actually determined. Referr-
ing to this proposed meeting Mr..
Manning said: We don't propose to
hold the caucus unless all the dele>
gates are present. W. have no de-
sire to take snap judgment. MI.
Flower has members of the delega>
ton who will work to have him NOM
mated. We have no objection to
that. Mr.. Flower Is a good man, but
we don't think he has as fair a show
of carrying New York as Mr.. Cleve-
land has. The California delegation
brought word that from fifteen to
thirty prominent California demo-
Gratis would be here Saturday, when
elaborate headquarters and work in
the interest of Justice Field will be
formed. The California delegates
themselves, however, have an
nouncea that they will inaugurate a
campaign against Mr.. Field Their
efforts will be given TO secure the
nomination Of Tilden in spite of his
letter. but If that should prove inn
possible they will work and vote as a
unit for Thurman.
The national subcommittee re-
quests that as soon as the various
delegations have perfected their Or
gaDization they will send a list Of
their chairman, vice president and
committeeman to the national COM
mittee rooms at the Palmer House,
and it Is requested that such notifi-
cation be sent in as early as possible.
