Sunday. The arrival OF delegates and
independent organizations continued
Throughout. Saturday night. and all OF TO-
day and tonight. The full working
strength of the convention is on the ground,
with but a few individual exceptions. a
! roll call would show the presence in this
city Of 500 accredited delegates. The fea-
ture of the day was the arrival OF marching
organizations. their coming heralded by
bands Of music. and from early morning
until the arrival Of the Tammany Hall
delegates tonight. There have been con
staptly recurring Genes Of marching
bodies and boisterous receptions. Great
crowds hung about the vicinity OF the
Palmer House, and each arriving contin-
gent was met with great cheering. The
! Cook County Democratic club, q strong
local organization, performed the greatest
portion Of the escort duty, but were joined
as the day advanced by outside clubs. SO
that the Mcdonald club Irving Hall and
| Tammany clubs OF New York, had az their
escorts the Americas u Randall clubs
of Philadelphia, the New York County
Democracy and other outside organiza-
tions. Tonight, in the brilliantly lighted
| streets about the Palmer House there is a
| mass OF people computed to number 10000.
drawn thither by the oommotion occas-
toned by these arrivals. The crowded
| hotels have been the scene Of ineessan,
| electioneering, while many extrsysgant
| claims are being made as to the strength
| OF the various candidates. The truth is,
that 10 the pending caucus Of the New
| York delegation there 10 no change in the
| situation, and everything still hinges on
the action Of the Empire State delegates.
| There seems to DO very little doubt that
| Cleveland has a majority OF these, and
l providing be IS supported in the conyen-
| ton with any degree OF unaminity by his
own State, not only his Ryowed supporters,
bus also some OF the delegations that are
willing to support any available man,
claim that he will receive the nomination.
1t is said that the Western States recognize
the fact that where the eleotora 81 problem
10 TO be solved is in the East, and are will
ing TO concede the fret place to an Eastern
man. Ii il also asserted that all indica-
tions show that Cleveland is Tilden's
choice. Buffers friends are very hopeful
to-day, but hls opponents claim that his
boom, which was launched so brilliantly
yesterday, ia already on the decline. No
reason for this assertion is given. Through
some OF the southern delegates who ar
rived to-day, Bayard's adherents claim to
have developed great strength in the South.
They claim, slso. a number of the Western
States, o contend that with q favorable
showing IN New York and Delaware he
wall take d commanding position in the
earlier balloting. Everett P. Wheeler,
President OF the New York Free Trade
League. with about 20 members, are here
urging the necessity OF tariff reform, and
wall Q their energies to secure the in
sertion OF q plank in the platform meeting
the expressed views OF the League. Ii was
stated that Monsigneur Oapel, the Roman
Preiate. would be requested to open the
convention with prayer.
CHICAGO. July The scenes of actiy-

and t~horoughfares leading up to it, were
Tiled with great masses of people, which,
by their very large numbers, made the
progress of the cable cars and car
