and exciting discussion than on any day from 1 the beginning to the end of the Republican ! convention. The great Butler demonstration of last night has had more or less to do with 1 this. Hundreds of members of trade and 1 labor organizations who took little or no in terest in the gathering month ago are now sureing into the hetels and croyding tha curbs, arguing and cheering for the man of their choice, and wearers of Butler badges with the well known plWsiognomy of the lion of Massachusetts are to be met with on every hand. This fact, coupled with last nights demonstration, is anything but pleasing to the southern delegations and they do net hesitate to express their opinions freely. The result has been some pretty exciting debates which at times have threatened to develop into something warmer than mere argument. A canvass of the various southern delegations was made this morning and the almost unan- imous opinions expressed may be condensed into single sentence. "We will support anybody upon whom New York can unite, except Butler. Him we will not support. ? Outside of Butler the condition of affairs is precisely the same as twenty-tour hours ago plenty of booms, but no one claiming the lead. Neither have any dark horses been reached The numerous processions of the day have sadly disturbed the quiet harmony of the usual Chicago Sabbath.
 The County Democrac- of New York ar rived few minutes before three this morn ing. When the train of thirty cars rolled into the depot there were nearly five hundred Democrats of Chicago ready to greet the wis., itors. At 11:2O the Cook county Democratic club, numbering over one hundred, a large number of Democratic visitors and the sub reception committee formed in line on Monroe street near Dearborn and marched to the depot. There they had to wait for more than three hours before the train ar- rived. The train as it neared the depot was saluted with frecrackers and with lusty cheers. Thers were about eight hundred in the delegation from New York. Along the route to the hotel, the visitors were loudly the discharge of fireworks. This afternoon the Cook county Democracy and Union veterans with music and flying banners marched to the Union depot and escorted the McDonald club of Indianapolis to their headquarters. Mike Mcdonald led the procession. A little later the County Democracy of New York, in two the Twelfth street depot and received their brethren of Irving Hall with open arms More people greeted the New Workers than participated in the reception to the Indian ians, and the march to the hotel was 8 con tinuous ovation. The crowning dem onstra- tion of the day was reserved for the chieftain of Tammany and
 
 o'clock in the evening when their trains ar rived at the Twelfth street depot. The va- rious local Democratic organizations were on hand in force and their ranks were rein forced by several thousands of the general populace. Deafening cheers greeted the Tammany men as they emerged from the depot. When the Palmer House was reached the services off squad of police were neoes- sary in order to secure an entrance for the new arrivals. John Kelly, arm-in-arm with Mayor Harrison, led the way, and his appearance in the rotunda was the signal for a burst of applause. The ladies in the gallery waved their handker- chiefs and flags. Ben Butler took in the scene by peeping down over the shoulders of 8 fair damsel. Kelly took no notice of the plaudits and marched with the rest of the delegates to the billiard hall where he waited until the order to disband was given and again emerged and mounted the stairs to the Tammany headquarters, the cheering meanwhile being resumed with increased in- tensity. For fifteen minutes thereafter the crowd yelled itself hoarse in it's call for Kelly" RGd Speech" but the chieftain failed to respond Calls for cheers for Cleveland met with hearty response, but the mention of Buffers name was the sig n for an outburst of misses and derisive yells.
 The lenders of the Baysrd movement have been at work to-day with good results, and from conversations with 8 number of the Mcdonald followers it appears that a combi- nation between Bayard and McDonald for first and second place respectively is proba- ble.
 There is a reliable report current that at 3 meeting of the Kings county delegation in the Palmer House tonight it was voted. six to 3, that the delegation support Cleveland for the presidency. It is generally conceded that this settles 1t, as Kings county claims to hold the balance of power in the New York delegation, which, if it follows out the instructions given by the Saratoga convention, will vote as g unit for Cleveland, the majority of the delegates from the Empire State having declared for him l. is also understood that the North Carolina delegation will push Pendleton for the vice presidency. Is is understood that MoDsigHor Capei will deliver the opening prayer on Tuesday and that the choice of temporary chairman rests between Colonel Villas, of
 
 Butler in Chicago-A Rig Demonstration
 by the WorAtngmen.
 CHICAGO, July 6.-Gereral Butler, accom- panied by his secretary and few persona friends, arrived here early last evening In talking of the situation he said the Demo cratic national convention would undoubted- ly insert protection plank in it's platform He thought the Democracy needed a presi- dentia1 candidate who could hsrmonize all it's factions, leaving the obvious inference. In regard to the southern sentiment in his di- rection he said that he would without doubt get an enthusiastic reception should he go to New Orleans In regard to the candidates s his position was declared to be that hs was ignorant of the status of the various men seeking the nomination and he had come to C. icago to find out. The labor demonstra- ticn in his interest did not take place until nearly 10 o'clock. There were about three thousand people in the Ens of march, who carried variety of transpaEencies bearing emblems that were designed 10 advance the candidacy of Butler. There were at least twenty thousand people about the Palmer House when he appeared to speak, but his remarks were heard only by those near him, aud the vast crowd dispersed without much information iu regard to his designs on the coming national convention.
