St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-07-11
Just then a loud cheer

announced Inc presence OF tne IammaIy
sachems and braves, and to verify the remark
of the stranger the GLOBE papoose waltzed to
the side walk, there they were in full war
paint and seemingly as confident and joy
GUS as if they hadn't been sat down upon
and walked over in the convention Wednes-
day.
They are good looking lot of men on the
whole, but it is a kind of a logged bully as
indicated by the square jaws, broad shout
ders and stout abdominal proportions of the
most notable. Many of them are young
men, sucklings in the art of politics, SO to
speak, but they all wear an air of complacent
assurance which seems to become them as
well as the white plug hats which adorn their
heads.
The personnel of the Irving hall crowd COM
pares favorably with Tammany. They are
spruce tidy looking set of young men, with
visable repugnance for the red leaders and
they don't seem to care who knows it.
The county Democrats of New York
brought the Sc zenith regiment band along,
and they whoop it up in manner that has
seldom been equaled in this city.
A very natty, tony lot of men are the
members of the Americas club of Philadel-
phia. They put on lots of style, and seem
to know their own business.
There is a Baltimore club on deck, also.
They never miss chance to give Bayard a
send off, and besides, they are aid to be the
Washers of the convention.
In this connection you should see the i'm

lobby and at the convention. 1t seems as
good as picnic. They enjoy it quite as
much as the matinees.
Before the convention hour this morning
it was curious to observe the peddlers who
hawk badges containing medallion photos of
the several candidates, around the streets
and hotels Badges, like straws, show the
drift of sentiment, sometimes, but in seasons
like this all signs are liable to fail, and, as
an old stager remarked to-day, this is apt to
be an off year. 1t was about draw this
morning as to whether the Cleveland or
Thurman badges had the most purchasers.
The former, perhaps, had a little the start
with Thurman a good second and a field of
good flyers, any one of which is liable to pass
under the string first. Even the betting
men have given the thing wide berth so
far, and it is estimated that half the usual
money will change hands.
1t was reported this morning that Buffers
friends were keeping him in allegiance, with
the view of bringing his name before the
convention with a grand flourish in ease the
leading men fall out.
T
enth regiment band came down State street
and their shining instruments and CAV uni
forms presented a very gaudy appearance
They headed Tammany and as they stopped
in front of the Palmer house the enhancing
strains of the familiar ditty,
SIS this Mr. Riley, who keeps the hotel;
My friend Mr.. Riley, they speak of highly, " ETC.
Were played out of compliment, no doubt
to Mr.. Palmer, the gentleman who runs this
big tavern. Then the crowd surged and
pressed into the street which was almost
blockaded and rush was made for the big
building on the Lakefront where the future
destiny of this great nation was about to be
settled, at least for the time. The scene was
terrific-that is the word. The crowds were
the numbers have swelled into many thous-
ands
At II O'Clock nearly every seat in the i'm
mense building had been taken up by early
corners, and even those holding tickets had
to take their chances on getting in at all.
On going to the east entrance the GLOBE
| man produced his pasteboard and after a
| tough struggle succeeded in getting as far as
| the door, Just then platoon of policemen
rushed on the crowd and drove them away
| from the entrances. The fact was that the
| doors had been locked for the time
being, every seat at time beng occupied.
Seeing no other way the GLOBE correspon-
dent decided to make break and throwing
his castor through a window he excused him
self by going in afterit. Tickets of admis-
sion were sold on the street this morning at
the rate of SIS apiece, and it seems that some
one with an eye to the main chance is max
ing good thing of it.
| MINNESOTA DELEGATES sERENADED
Just before convention time tonight
while the Palmer house presented a bewild-
cring scene of animation, confusion and
gaity there rose far above the din and ex-
element of the throng, the clear bugle notes
of brass band. The crowd turned with one
accord in the direction of the melody and
| by this time the itinerant musicians were
proceeding up the main corridor of the hotel.
| 1t was the band belonging to the Demo
cratic phalanx Of Albany, New York, and
marching in the rear were about fifty of the
members of this organization. They presen-
ted a truly imposing picture. each man wear
| ing a white plug hat and they all wore canes
| in parade dress.
The music gushed loud and clear over the
conversational buzz and clatter of feet on
the marble thing of the great floor, and what
was the surprise of the assembled multitude
when the band headed for the headquarters
of the Minnesota delegation, situated on the
Office floor of the hotel. 1t was in short a
| serenade reception rendered the Minnesota
delegation, presumably from their avowed
intention to stick by Cleveland, the Albany
phalanx being strong supporters of the latter.
The GLOBE was ON hand as usual, and the
delegates were treated to ice water all round.
All in all, it was happy thought on the part
OF the New York state men, and it was CRATE
fully appreciated and acknowledged by the
recipients. II. G. d.
