The Convention.
= the hour for the assembling of the
convention approached the crowd that surg
ed IN wet phaiauXeS to the hall gave rise 10
the spprehensiun that it would be INSULT
cient to accommodate all. The people Sut-
fered excessively from the heat and fans
and Saratoga water were in great de
mand. The hall is guiltleSS of any decora-
ton whatever 1t stands bare and una
dorned. Not a lady is present, no accom-
modations having been provided for them.

ers who bv some means secured admission

yates from their seats But nothing Of the
kind occurred During the roll call OF the
convention the name of Mr.. Tilden evoked

reEorm in National and IN State goyera-
ment has retained all its former strength
and Gained many recruits from the ranks of
;ts o6ponent. The Importance of the point
cal issue of this time cannot be over esu-
t;ma,ed and the position which the Demo
cratic party will assume in the coming
canvass may be to 3 great extent deter,
mined bv vour action to-day. Reports from
