 An Adjournment Taken After the First Ballot.
 CHICAGO, July 1O.-The third day of the Democratic national convention opened with all nature smiling Clouds had given way to warm sunshine and the lake fog had disap~ peared under the influence of a moderate breeze. The political pulse beat with fever ish activity. The Thurman boom had taken 8 healthy growth and thousands gathered in front of his room in the Palmer House, cheering wildly and waving strips of red flannel attached to walking sticks. His seat to-day was occupied by an alternate and he will not again put in an appearance during the convention. The city was wild tonight as the probabilities grew that the nominee of the party would be declared before the con- vention took rest, but after the first ballot the convention adjourned to finish it's work probably tomorrow.
 GREAT CROWDS FILLED THE HALL
 when Chairman Villas rapped the convention to order at 11:O6 this morning, and the dele gates stood reverently while Dr. Laramore delivered prayer. The committee on resolu~ tions reported that they could not submit their report before p. m., and the chair ruled that the call of States proceed Gen. 0. G. Manser opened the ball by seconding the nomination of Thurman. He character ized Thurman as the Bismarck of America. great demonstration followed his words: Missouri seconds the nomination of Thur man." Thousands of red bandannas were waved in the air and three times three with a tiger followed the set cheers and the audi ence was fairly wild. Silence was at last re- stored. Manser then proceeded to eulot ize Thurman as the colossal Democrat of the age. He said that nothing but great blun- der could prevent the Democracy from win hing in the political contest this fall. Thur man was great lawyer. great as jurist, and greater still as statesman. (Ehe chairman ordered the election of any person shouting fin the galleries after the convention should be in order) Manser proceeded to assert that as late as the close of last year Mr. Conkling had complimented Senator Thur man as the Senator who had for seven years led every resisting movement against the
 
 istration. He was authorized to declare that there was no division in the Ohio delegation against Thurman; that they were solid for him; that he could carry Ohio; that every German daily in Ohio was pledged to his sup port, and that twenty thousand Germans had declared for him in that State. He prom ised the support of Tammany for Thurman; the State committee of California promised him 20, ,OOO majority; the country was ripe for him and Thurman alone could carry the country for the Democracy.
 THOMAS G. POWELL, OF OHIO, NOMINATED Governor Hoadley. He said the brilliant record of the great State of Ohio should be maintained with the candidate he presented -Gov. Hoadley (slight applause) His strength lay in recorded facts. He had nev- CT been defeated at the polls. He had re ceived the largest vote ever given Democrat in Ohio, receiving 19, 900 more than Hancock (moderate applause at Hancock's name). Hoadley was known as great lawyer, a brave soldier, Governor of great ability and leader of courage. His character was stainless. He was stronger than his party. He was the friend, the confidential adviser, and would, if possible be to-day the chief champion of the last great Democratic Pres- ident, Samuel J. Tilden. (Applause). MT. Powell closed with an eloquent appeal for his candidate
