CHICAGO, July 10.-There is no Disgusting the fact
tnat the democracy are somewhat disheartened
over the situation this morning. The raid which
Tammany hall made in the convention yesterday
has certainly impressed many delegates with the
belief that II nominated Cleveland cannot carry
New York, and yet every effort which has beer
made during the night and this morning to unite
on some other candidate has met with absolute
| failure. The situation is not unlike that OF the
third day Of the republican convention: when 1t wa:
found impossible to unite on one man all OF The
opposition went to Blaine.
THE THURMAN BOOM LANGUIsHEs

A Scene i'm the Convention.
There was quite a scene in the convention this
afternoon while Massachusetts, was seconding the
nomination OF Bayard The speaker said that
Cleveland could not carry Massachusetts,: that the
labor vote would be against him. and that finally
his nomination would be only disastrous In that
state but that would be alike disastrous through
out the country.
hsses The Kisses greatly incensed the speaker,
who, shaking his fist t that part of the hal they
who would hiss where they dared not strike. Still
the kissing was kept up TIL the presiding ofncer
restored order. The speech was regarded as the
most 1ndlscreet yet made In the convention.
The Irish Vote.
Ex-Congressman Roberts, OF New York. ex-presi-
dent Of the Fenian Brotherhood, telegraphs a most
vigorous denial OF the statements made by Grady
yesterday In the convention that Cleveland cannot
command the Irish vote. He says that Irishmen
universally repudiate the assertion of Grady and
announce that they will vote for the nominee who
ever he may De. G. w. A

EVERYBODY sLEEPING LATE THIS MORNING.
CHICAGO, July 10.-For the first time since the
opening OF the convention there was not q Jam at
the Palmer House this morning before O'Clock.
For some reason, perhaps the fatigues Of yester-
days session and last nights marching people
slept late 1t relief to be able TO walk through
the large corridors OF the hotel without being
crushed, and it was agreeable to those who have
business In the Palmer House to reflect that the
nervous excitement was telling upon the over
Jealous visitors and tagging them out. The ren C
ton was only Short-lived, however for by O'Clock
the rotunda and corridors had again filled up and
the tremendous crush which has characterized the
past week was repeated again.
THE DAT LIKELY 10 BE TAKEN Up WITH THY CON.
TEST OVER THE PLATFORM
The subcommittee on resolutions has completed
full draft Of the platform which it commenced TO
read to the full committee at 1880 this forenoon.
The draft does not meet the approval OF Gen.
Butler. and he has prepared . minority rep rt
which VIII be submitted 70 the committee but 1t Is
expected that his report win be rejected BY heavy
vote. 1t Is anticipated that the regular minority
report may be submitted to the convention, In
which event sharp discussion Is expected to fol-
low. This may consume great portion OF the day b
session 1t Is not now probable that the report WIN
be read In the convention before noon.
