REGULAR PROCEEDINGS.
I'D. m).-About 1880, delegates began |
to fife into the hall. There seemed dur
ing the morning to be considerable con
fusion as to the interior arrangements of
the building and its capacity to hold
peoplc who rightly or wrongly succeeded
in getting tickets of admission, thereby
involving some danger of making con-
fusion for the delegates. 1t became evil
dent. as the hour of the convention ap-
preached, that the whole building would
he denscly crowded, but there would be
no confusion. The hall is devoid of
banners or cmblems Ofany kind.The plat
form is densely crowded. Before the con
yention opened, the scene was that of II
perspiring crowd in desperate Efforts TO
cool the heated atmosphere.
The morning has been spent by the
various committees in tolcrably sue

which elected immense cheers. lie
arose and said the delegation from
the Second district of Monroe county, |
would not take part in the convention
unless their rights were fully recognized.
Assistant District Attorney Fellows, of
Now York. arose and said his party was |
willing TO do anything for harmony.
The name of John Kelly was received
