CHICAGO, June 5.-Niyht Sessien.-The
Ihrongs that besieged the Convention hall
for the, evening session have been far
greater than at any previous session of the
body. Half an hour before the time OF
meeting several of the outer doors of
admission Including that to the stage)
were closed by order of the sergeat-at-
arms, thus adding to the pressure and con-
fusion outside. The main floor, stage and
galleries were packed to overf1owing, and
there could not have been less than 10000
persons within the building before z
o'clock, while there were hundreds of
people outside holding tickets, but unable
to obtain admission. The great attraction,
of course, was the fact that the nominating
speeches were to be made, and that excit-
ing scenes were to be expectrd. Among
the spectators were quite large number
of ladies.
THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER.
Z 80 o'clock, and one of the New York
delegates Immediately offered a resolu-
ton las il in derision) for the issue of 500
and it was promptly voted down.
THE CAMERoN-TURNER DIFFICULTY.
Widely diversified and exaggerated ac-
counts of the rencounter. between George
Turner and Brewster Cameron having
gone out, the following authentic accom-.
has been furnished .n .,,, associated Press
nnSSruay night George Turner, delegate
from Alabama, met Brewster Cameron,
late the general agent of the Department
OF Justice, in the room of Frank Hatton,
in the Grand Pacific Hotel, and threatened
to assault him because OF his testimony
before the Springer committee, which
alleged the dishonesty of Turner while
United States marshal for Alabama.
Col. Sharp, chief postoffice inspector, and
Col: Thorn pson, General superintendent OF
Railway Mail Service advised Mr.. Cameron
to avoid difficulty, which he did by re.
naming in Hatton's room until Turner
and his crowd, who were in the hall out
side waiting for Cameron, had left the
building: Wednesday night, about II
O'Clock, Mr.. Cameron and Joel w. Bow
Justice, entered the main hall leading to
the rotunda of the Grand Pacific Hotel,
and met George Turner, Paul Strobach
and Charles ]. Pelham going out. Turner
and Strpbach, on seeing Cameron and
Bowman, turned and followed them, and
upon overtaking Cameron Turner endeav-
ored to strike him a blow in the face, and
which Cameron warded off partially and
returned by giving Turner g heavy blow
over the head with his cane. Strobach
then attempted to strike Cameron in the
face with an umbrella and was promptly
knocked down. As soon as Strobach got
up both he and Turner put their hands on
their hip pockets and advanced upon
Cameron, who dropped his cane and put
his hands in his overcoat pocket and
warned his assailants to stand back or take
the consequences. No revolvers were
drawn, but it is presumed that all parties
were armed, for Turner has been threat
ening Cameron for several days. Mr..
Cameron has thus far resisted the persua-
sion of his friends to have Turner and
Strobach arrested for assault, upon the
ground that their arrest now would be
