along the sidewalks and In the station
are numerous bsnds snd reception CON-
mittees waiting for the delegations
which they nave been assigned TO esco:!
to their hot,l. The scenes Of sctTity
which we're visible about the hotels
until after midnight were renewed ard
increased early this morning. By s
O'Clock the main corridors OF the hotels
were thronged With people, and in the
streets the sounds Of martlsl music were
heard on every side. But little work has
been done thus far TO dsy. The chief in
terest centers in the meeting OF
THE DEMOCRATIC MAJ IONAL COMMITTEE.
Then the temporary chairman for
the convention will be decided on.
There is no resaon TO chsnge
the prediction thst the choice
OF the committee will elect Govevnt I
White of California, although, as prom
inent committe emsn remarsed few min
utes ago, 81 have often seen slate fixed
up and tEen come to naught"
The delegations began arriving early
They arrived IL divisions, or an individual
hour o. two, and then whole
delegations begsn putting in an sppear-
snce. They all wore badges and nearly
all osndanas. The one word on their lips
was Thurman" Notwithstanding ine
excitement ard hustle, there was little
cheering, all hands evidently saving
themselves for an outburst Of enthusiasm
lister In the proceedings, when il would
perhaps count for something. The Ms,
rine Bspd lay in wait for Tammsny and
the First Battalion Band for the New YOyk
County Democracy. Nov and then they
would
TUNE UP THEIR PiPEs,
and, to the delight OF tie crowds, nearly
raise with their voices the corrugated
iron roof. a. about 0 O'clock the middle
space Of the depot was filed with people.
They were crushed together by the NOV
ing Tass and the epdesYor OF great
number to get into little space. Tae
cause OF the crush was the approaching
arrival Of the New Workers. The trains
bearing the County Democracy and Tam
mnuy were lste, and though scheduled
oDI5 some minutes behind, they were
fesily yed several hours
The Chicsgo County Democracy
arrived before them and SO did the
Iroquois cluo Of the sane city. Each
had big band Ct musicians. All i'rmed
in line together, the Ifcquois Isl stock
ings) to the 73sr and the County (Short
hslrs) In front. While the bands blew
themselves h0arse the undulating line OF
white sRd black tall hats on the ca cs.
goans lick!Y passed cut CT the depot.
A Wisconsin delegation csme next,
followed by the Hendricks club from L,
Fayette, Ind, wearing "Gray" tsdges.
They were the first Of tie arrivals show
ing i disposition TO yell.
The Topeka Democratic Fism1eau club,
with tin helmets and canvas uniforms,
arrived about this moment and were soQn
Joined by the Kansas Cay Democratic
club. The
FEATURE OF THE MORNING
prob.bly was the Kansas City Democratic
clubs entry. Their band was gaily ar
rsyed and the members of the Clue wore
.aigh white Aata ana yellow linen busters,
and most OF them hc1 tied about their
necks or wrapped shout their hats red bar
dana hapdkerChieia,s showing their lzanipg
toward the old Roman. One OF these
handkerchief we2rers had on the top Of
his hat q small, but completely formed,
rooster. The cluo was followed by the
gretesque-lookin Fam 9lesu men on the
march down town.
TIE Samuel Randall cIuo, Of PITTS
burg, with yellow gloves, white hats,
blue suits and velvet badges, were
Numerous in the depot, though they ar
rived yesterday. They were welcoming
the morning additions to their numbers
that came in from the east.
The Texas delegation got CT the train
at the east end of the depot, and compnr-
etively escaped notice.
The crowd CT spectators stayed about
the depot sheds until TsmmaDy arrived,
and then the st. Louis Hendricks Associ-
alton, wheeling into line, marched merrily
away with TammaEy, the mob OF sight
seers trailing a. tbet, heels. There was
no excitement after that, and the County
Democracy on its Srrival soon sfserwerd
saw an almost deserted depot.
