First Day.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The national democratic
convention opened during thunderstorm. The
noise OF the rain on the roof almost drowned
the noise OF the voices within the wigwam. Re-
peated peals OF thunder broke directly over the
structure, TO the CONSERVATION of the timid.
The interior of the wigwam was very dark.
The band struck up amid resounding cheers.
The music had a tendency to allay the nervous
feeling caused by the darkness and storp.
Senator Brioe appeared on the platform at
1925, and was greeted by rounds OF cheers.
There were many empty seats in the gallery,
but the body OF the hall was well filled Soon
Gov. Campbell, Of Ohio, entered the hall and
was greeted with cheers. Brice called the con-

CHICAGO. June 22.-Notwltnstanding
the fact that the democratic conyeu-
ton Was thrust upon Chicago after no
tlce had been gwen that II Was not
wanted, the Chicago people have iisen
the delegates . cordial aud spon taneous
welcome.
Everywhere the evidences of greet
ing are flung TO the more or less vIgor-
Gus brsezes in the form of flags, bunt-
ing and other elaborate decorations.
The principal streets are gorgeously
bedecked with red, white aud blue
stresmerswhile from every flag staff the
stare and stripes float above the heads
Of the Ieeming Thousands, elbowing
and iostling in the animated thorough
fares be.ow. The individual demon
strations OF welcome in the form Of
decorations are iuuumerable.
The hotels are literally banked be-
hind labyrinthisn festoons Of bright
color. McVicker's, the Columbia and
other tnesters are framed with multi
colored streamers. The Herald build
ing, ornate and beautiful itself, is rich
ly caparisoned In the livery of patrio-
tism. The Tribune building 10 conspic-
uous for its lavish display Of flags.
Over the door to the counting room q
shield bearing the legend, "Our Friends,

either side with lunches Of flags. On
the opposite corner the Inter Ocean

gesting that it cares rap whether the
democrats are III town or out Of it.
No Enthusiasm Evoked.
Early this morning the various clubs
formed aud marched through the
streets, but their appearance evoked no
enthusiasm.
The quiet in Chicago all the morning
was oppressive. So was the heat. In
al d about the headquarters in the va
rious hotels. the delegates lounged in
blissful Incidence, sweltering from the
heat and swearing at the resolutions
committee, which sent out word early
that it would be unable to agree upon
q platform before tomorrow, possibly
later.
The Michigan headquarters in the
Palmer house was the rendezvous that
seemed 10 be the most attractive, and
where the crowd was densest. Here

there was any amount of kicking.

announced that the next business was
the calling of the roll of states for nom-
inaton for candidates for president.
At this the convention loudly
cheered. When Alabama was called
delegate named Fenlon jumped on his
chair and moved al adjournment, but
without needing the motion the secre-
tary proceeded with the call. Arkansas
yielded her place to New Jersey and
amid cheers Governor Abbott was rec
ognized and took the stand to noml-
nate Grover Cleveland.
3He stood just behind the chairman's
desk, a manuscrIp in front of him. and
speaking SO clearly that he could he
heard all through the great hall, he
sasd:
"Mr. Chairman-In placing q name
before this convention speak for the
united democracy OF New Jersey whose
loyalty to democratic principles, faith
full service to the party and whose con-
tributions to its success entities it to
the consideration of the democ-
racy of the country. In voic-
ing the unanimous wish of the
delegation, present as their candi-
date the name of the distinguished
democratic statesman born upon its
soil, for whom in two presidential con-
teststh state hasgiven Its electoral vote.
We have been in the past and will be
in the future ready TO sacrifice all per-
sonal preferences to the clear express
sion of the will of the democratic
party.
1t is because this name will awaken
throughout our state the enthusiasm OF
the democracy and insure success, 1T is
because he represents the great demo-
cratic principles and policy upon which
this entire convention is unit, it is be-
cause we believe that with him as q
candidate the democracy of the union
will sweep the country and establish its
principles throughout the length and
breadth of the land. that We offer to
the country as the nominee the choice
of the democray of New Jersey, Grover
Cleveland"
When Governor Abbott named Cleve-
land the hurrah of an hour before was
renewed.
The delegates sprang up tn their feet,
many of them mounted chairs, hats
were thrown into the air, and the NOISE
OF the cheering was deafening.
The cheering continued for ten min
utes. The chairman finally succeeded
in pounding order with his gavel, and
Governor Abbott went on. Almost the
next sentence was:
Not Unanimous.
"Not only will he receive the support
of every democrat in the land"
There were cries of "no" and coun.
ter cries Of "yes," from all over the
hall.

Piled 81 said every democrat"
The point brought down the house.
When Governor Abbott came to the
review Of the modern heroes OF DEM
ocracy each was cheered in moderation
from Russell to Boies. but when David
b. Hill was mentioned, Tammany and
the New York delegation led demon
stration second only to that which the
| Cleveland men had made.
General Sickles waved his crutch high
in the air.

high in the air.

other that it would be the means of
