Fourth Day.
CHICAGO, ILL, July II

CHICAGO, ILL, July II.
fhe hour at which the Convention
adjourned last night, coupled with the
fact that the thermometer was close nto
the nineties in the shade, acted as an
.effectual damper on the punctual in
stincts which so far have characterized
the Convention. At ten O'Clock, the hour
appointed for reassembling, only twenty
delegates were in their seats and less
than half of the gallery space was oc-
cupied.
AN OVATION TO HENDRICKS.
Shortly after ten O'Clock Hendricks en-
tered the hall. AS soon as he was recog-
.nized the audience arose and gave him
an ovation, the cheering continuing for
minute or more. He took his seat and
was soon surrounded by friends and po-
litical admirers.
JOHN KELLY RECEIVED WELL.
The ovation which Hendricks received
was equaled by that which welcomed
John Kelly as he entered the nall, the au"
dience giving him three times three.
At 1850, President Villas arrived and
at once called the Convention to order.
Rev. DR.. Clinton Locke, of Grace Epls-
.copal Church, Chicago, made the opening
prayer, calling upon God to direct the
proceedings of the Convention.
When the prayer was concluded the
chairman made an eloquent appeal for
order during the day.

kilograms favoring various candidates,
which the Convention declined to have
read or placed on record.

to converse with those around HIM.
When Illinois was called to complete
