THE SPORT FAIRLY BEGINS.
Lively Times at the Opening of the Sec
ond Session of the Day.

Lively Times at the Opening of the Sec
ond Session of the Day.
Chicago, June 90 Every man who held
q wigw6m ticket knew well as he went to
the big barracks this afternoon that before
the session was over the battle would be on.
The assumption that there would be n
slirmish or battle was based partly upon
the fact that the committee on resolutions
would probably report. 1t was believed
that Bourke Cockrau's warning OF tho
morning that he "woud have business with
the convention later" meant entertainment
for the crowd. Partly, too, the anticipa-
tion of the .hrong was based upon the CON
viction that another democratic presidential
nominee would have been placed in history
before the session should have ended.
Tickets were being sold upon tho curbs
outside the hall for $12 to SO each.
The atmosphere was charged heavily with
moisture. The men in the galleries took or
their coats. How the women maintained
life, none but themselves knew.
New Works delegation, with Mr.. Croker
at the head, came first into the hall, and
the genuine Tammany yell leaped forth
from the bench rows directly behind the
alternates.
\ cry of "IIll'' went up, but a sound
like escaping steam Shot out from the floor
and grew to whstling, Kissing storm
The great throng, however, subsidel when
Chairman Wilson thumped the desk with a
wooden maliet and the session had begun.
Then tho sun was shining dull yellow
through the heavy air, the crowd reeked
and steamed, almost; physical discomfort
prevailed, but the interest in what should
occur drew individual attention somewhat
from individual suffering.
Rev. Thomas Reed OF Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, while characterized by high dignity,
was strong aud elected applause at its close,
The temper Of the audience was clearly
one of quick demonstration. The band
started america, while the convention
was awaiting the resolutions committee,
and the strains of the familiar hymn brought
hundreds 10 their feet aud cheers from ALL
Mr.. Bell strode up the aisle to Ohio's
chairs and his greeting was voclferous
General Daniel T.. Sickles slowly entered
the hall upon his crutches, and was cheered
until he took his seat
Delegate Dubignon of Georgia, then arose
and moved to ad journ till II a. M, to NOR
row.

the motion was scarcely put before the con.
vention by the chair before it was buried in
a storm of "noes.
Ex-Secretary Whitney entered at 610 p.
M, and took place on the platform.
Gov: Campbell at 6:1j p. IN. started on q
final tour of the delegations, presumably on
a missionary errand. He first made his
way to Michigan's chairs, and the entirs
body Of delegates from that State leapeI
upon the chairs and cheered him, while boa
Dickinson greeted him. The tour was con-
tnued amid cheers.
At 6:24 Delegate Charles b. Jones Of Mis-.
souri,, chairman of the resolutions commits
tee, appeared upon the platform. Address
ing the convention, he said: 81 am instruct
ed by the committee on resolutions to pre-
sent to you as report Of the committee the
following resolutions and move fheir adop-
tion. In order that you may more distinet-
ly hear what the committee has prepared,
intend to ask gentleman who is as famil-
ar as myself with the phraseology of the
platform to read it for me. Applause
And when it has been read | shall move the
previous question upon the adoption OF the
platform" [Cries Of mo, no, no. y
7. L. Patterson Of Colorado, advanced on
the platform and said: "In Wow of tha
statement just made, L will say that i rep
resent minority of the committee on reso-
lutions, and desire to announce that that
minority expects to be heard to present its
report before the previous question shall be-
put" Cheers greeted this announcement.
Then ex-Secretary Villas commenced to
read the resolutions at 6:2S, but when ha
reached the phrase from Madison to Cleve.
land| there was quick shout of one voica
near the platform. 1t was lost, however,
in flash, for it seemed as though with one
impulse the entire 90 900 people leaped upon
their chairs and with hats and handker-
chiefs in the air, let loose yels and screams
that shook the heavy air and almost made
the barracks quiver.
In a flash a white satin banner, heavy
with gold fringe, shot aloft and was moved
to the centre aisle 1t was the ensign of
the Michigan delegation, and on one sida
was picture Of Cleveland.
The first outbreak had been but mur-
muir beside the savage roar Of noise and din
that arose and swept and rolled from sids
to side of the great wigwam.
man in the rear OF the delegates showed
a picture of David B. Hill, and quickly
hostile hand ripped 1t from the standard
and tore it up, while cheers and Kisses
swept around the hall.
Then came into the arena the crimson
banner of Iowa. A sturdy Boiesan bore it
along and waved it constantly, while the
mass of sweltering people, if possible, swelled
the din and storm of sound. The tempest
ebbed and flowed until 6:47 p. m, when
Don Dickinson of Michigan caused the
Michigan banner to be carried from view in
order that business might be resumed.
There were hlsses from the crowd because
the gudon and baton of its applause should
be removed
Through all this Tammany's men in the
centre aisle sat grim and silent, neither
Kissing Cleveland nor cheering Hill. Their
self-control challenged general admiration.
