Special 7s!sgrdn 70 ne Register.
CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, ILL,
June 22.-There were early indications
Of a big crowd at the Wgwam this
morning, some thousands of people hav-
ing been induced 70 invest in tickets
through a general expectation OF some
offensive move by the anti-Clevelandites
and sharp reduction in the price of the
pasteboards. Yesterday and last night
tickets we're held at Sl2 and SIS, but
this morning there was a sharp press
ure to sell at almost any price and any
thing from fodr dollars up was accept
ed. This condition combined to bring
out shoals of visitors and citizens who
were not visible yesterday, and at half
past ten o'clock there were more people
under the roof than at any time Tues
day, with the tide setting in strong
through the doors.
The delegates were very late, there
not being over thirty or forty scattered
over the floor at a quarter OF eleven.
At eleven o'clock the committee on res
olutions which had convened at ten was
still i'm session with no definite informa-
at hand as TO when they would be able
TO report.
THE FULL COMMITTEE
put in six solid hours yesterday after
noon and evening and at the end Of
that time appointed a subcommittee TO
edit and shape up the great measure Of
suggestions, petitions, requests and
recommendations. This subcommittee
was in session until a. m. and reported
to the full committee at 10 a. m.
AT eleven o'clock, the hour set for the
opening of the session, there was a
magnificent audience Of fifteen thous-
and people in attendance, and it early
manifested a disposition TO cheer TO the
echo everything in sight.
1t was sn audience genuinely repre-
sentative of the Democratic party, gath
cred from every State and Territory in
the Union, to watch the deliberations
OF the body whose work was to shape
the destinies Of the organization they
love, and delegates, as their eyes swept
over the vast expanse Of earnest faces
around them, could we'll have realiz-
ing sense of the grave responsibilities
resting upon them.
Such must have been the thoughts Of
many delegates who last night were en-
Enthusiastically tramping the streets or
bowling the name Of some favorite son
in a hotel corridor, but who now sat
with grave and thoughtful demeanor
evidently taking a calm survey OF the
field before it was everlastingly too
late.
THIS FEELING
Of reflection was held By many to jeop-
Ordize Cleveland's chances, and coupled
with the rey Akening Of the ahti-Gleve-
land senti' int in certain parts OF the
