GUS as if they hadn't been sat down upon

day.
They are good looking lot of men on the
whole, but it is a kind of logged bully as
indicated by the square jaws, broad shout
ders and stout abdominal proportions OF the
most notable. Many of them are young
men, stockings in the art of politics, so to
speak, but they all wear an air of complacent
| assurance which seems to become them as
well as the white plug hats which adorn their
heads.
The personnel of the Irving hall crowd COM
pares favorably with Tammany. They are
spruce tidy looking set of young men, with
visable repugnance for the red leaders and
| they don't seem to care who knows it.
The county Democrats of New York
brought the Sc zenith regiment band along,
and they whoop it up in manner that has
seldom been equaled in this city,
very natty, tony lot of men are the
members of the Americas club of Philadel-
pha They put on lots of style, and seem
to know their own business

They never miss chance to give Bayard
send off, and besides, they are aid to be the
Washers of the convention.
In this connection you should see the i'm
mense number of ladies in the Palmer house
lobby and at the convention. 1t seems as
good as picnic. They enjoy it quite as
much as the matinees.
Rafprn tha ntinD hour this N Cr
it was curious to observe the peddlers who
! hawk badges containing medallion photos of
the several candidates, around the streets
and hotels. Badges, like straws, show the
drift OF sentiment sometimes, but i'll seasons
like this all signs are liable to fail, and, as
an old stager remarked to-day, this is apt to
be an off year. 1t was about draw this
morning as to whether the Cleveland or
Thurman badges had the most purchasers.
The former, perhaps, had a little the start
with Thurman a good second and field of
good flyers, any one of which is liable to pass
under the string first. Even the betting
men have given the thing wide berth so
far, and it is estimated that half the usual
money will change hands.
1t was reported this morning that Buffers
friends were keeping him in allegiance, with
the view of. bringing his name before the
convention with grand flourish in case the
leading men fall out.
twas about 10 AS o'clock when the Sew
enth regiment band came down State street
and their shining instruments and gay uni
forms presented very gaudy appearance.
They headed Tammany and as they stopped
in front of the Palmer house the enhancing
strains of the familiar dirty,
sis this Mr.. Riley, who keeps the hotel;
My friend Mr.. Riley, they speak of SO highly, ETC.
Were played out of compliment no doubt
to Mr.. Palmer, the gentleman who runs this
big tavern. Then the crowd surged and
pressed into the street which was almost
blockaded and rush was made for the big
building on the Lakefront where the future
destiny of this great nation was about to be
settled, at least for the time. The scene was
terrifc-that is the word. The crowds were
big on the first days of the convention but
the numbers have swelled into many thous-
ands.
At II O'Clock nearly every seat in the i'm
mense building had been taken up by early
corners, and even those holding tickets had
to take their chances on getting in at all.
On going to the east entrance the GLOBE
man produced his pasteboard, and after a
tough struggle succeeded in getting as far as
the door. Just then a platoon of policemen
rushed on the crowd and drove them away
from the entrances. The fact was that the
doors had been locked for the time
being, every seat at time beng occupied.
Seeing no other way the GLOBE correspon-
dent decided to make break and throwing
his castor through a window he excused him
self by going in after it. Tickets of admis-
sion were sold on the street this morning at
the rate of S. apiece, and it seems that some
one with an eye to the main chance is max
ing good thing of it.
MINNESOTA DELEGATES sERENADED.
Just before convention time tonight
while the Palmer house presented bewild-
cring scene of animation, confusion and
gaty, there rose far above the din and ex-
element of the throng, the clear bugle notes
of brass band The crowd turned with one
accord in the direction of the melody, and
by this time the itinerant musicians were
proceeding up the main corridor of the hotel.
1t was the band belonging to the Demo-
cratic phalanx of Albany, New York, and
| marching in the rear were about fifty of the
members of this organization. They presen-
ted truly imposing picture. each man wear
| ing white plug hat and they all wore canes
in parade dress.
! The music gushed loud and clear over the
| conversational buzz and chatter of feet on
the marble thing of the great floor, and what
was the surprise of the assembled multitude
when the band headed for the headquarters
of the Minnesota delegation, situated on the
office floor of the hotel 1t was in short a
serenade reception rendered the Minnesota
delegation, presumably from their avowed
intention to stick by Cleveland, the Albany
phalanx being strong supporters of the latter
The GLOBE was on hand as usual, and the
delegates were treated to ice water all round
All in all, it was happy thought on the part
of the New York state men, and it was CRATE
