POOR QUARTERS
For the Newspaper Men-Many Stand Out in the
Rain While Seats Are Vacant-ChanceS That
Gray May Find Strong OppositOn-Poh-
tics Makes Strange Bed-FellOws.

CHIcAGO. June 2l-The National Demo
cratic Convention was In session two nours
TO dav. and during all that time the name
of but one illustrious American was men
homeland that name was that OF James
G.. Blaine. the great popular leader OF the
Republican party. By a singular coinci-
dent the name of Grover Cleveland, the
Democratic idol, who is destined TO be the
nominee Of the convention, was not men
toned by either the Chairman or delegates
throughout the entire session so that OF
James G.. Blaine called forth the most en-
thusiastic demonstration Of the day.
The indications are that the National
Convention of 1892 is not to be so inhar-
monious as has been generally predicted.
The proceedings Of to-day were unusually
tame, being Of the dullest routine and no
action being offered to call forth any par
ticular party enthusiasm.
TIE ONLY DISSENSIOS
which occurred in the days proceedings
was over the attempt OF several delegates
TO throw open the vacant galleries TO the
crowds of eager Democrats who were
standing outside in the rain. No one seems
able TO explain the mysterious reason but
throughout the entire session there were
5000 unoccupied seats in the galleries OF
convention hall. 1t is probable that
never in the history Of American
National Conventions have the press
arrangements been so wretched and the ac-
commodations to the active workers so in
adequate as on the present occasion. A cry
of disappointment went up all along the
line when the newspaper men were shown
their seats and narrow desks in the conven-
ton hall to-day and comparisons made be-
tween the accommodations Of the National
Republican Convention Of two weeks ago
and those Of to-day were not 10 the favor
of the Democratic National Committee.
During all this time, when there we're 5000
vacant gallery seats inside the wigwam,
there were over four hundred representa-
tives of the press, 200 Of whom were repre-
sentatives of daily papers, standing on the
outside and unable to get en admittance to
the hall. Most Of these gentlemen were
from Western and Northern States and
had failed to secure the usual courteSies
because Of the matter being referred 70 the
Washington Press Committee which dis
tributed the seats before these newspaper
men had made their application

CHICAGO, June 21.-Immediately after
the adjournment of the convention the
Committee on Resolutions met in the room
set apart for IL in the convention building
and organized by electing Hon. Thomas /.
Bayard, of Delaware, ex-Secretary OF
StgtD under the Cleveland administration,
chairman of the committee and Z. ID.
Jones. Of Missouri, secretary.
After the roll of States was called,a men,
Der of the committee expressed the convlc-
ton that il would be unwise for the com
mittee TO hold its sessions amid such
wretched surroundings, as the moor Oh the
room was water soaked from the rain
which had dripped through the fiimsy roof
of the convention hall Another member
stated that the Union League Club, OF chi
CapO. extended an invitation TO the COM
mittee 10 meet in the more salubrious
atmosphere Of the parlOr Of that club. Be-
fore this invitation was acted
upon. Mr.. Crafts, OF Illinois,
Who was averse to the committee
RECEIVING COURTEsIEs
from a club generally recognized as a Re
publican organization. made the point Sc
cretly 10 various members that 1t would De
better 10 meet in the IrOQuOis Club, the
well known Democratic club OF Chicago.
No one was present, however, who had
authority 20 tender az invitation on tne
part OF the IrOQuOis Club, and Tor time
there was considerable embarrassment as
to where the committee would ind an ap-
propriate meeting place. Finally, Chair
man Brice OF the National Committee,
who when made aware of the situation,
entered the room hastily and asking to ad-
dress the committee, stated that he would
be glad TO have the Committee on ResOlu-
tions meet in the parl0r of the Palmer
House which had been reserved for the
National Committee.
''You can have these parlors," said he,
'fOr your exclusive use until YOU complete
your labOrs.n
This invitation was accepted by acclams-
ton and the committee, having extended
its thanks 70 the

for its kind invitation, adjourned until

CHICAGO. Ill, June 21.-This has been a
night of parades and complimentary sere-

leading beneficiary.
Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kentucky
have each had parades on an elaborate
scale with splendid music, torches and hre-
works, and the marching columns attracted
tens Of thousands of people to the lake
front.
The first to appear on the scene after
dark was the Watterson Club and one or
two other Louisville organizations, with a
Oand Of forty pieces.
They lined up in front Of the auditorium
and gave "three times three for Tam
many, and then marched into the already

CHICAGO. June 2l.-In the opinion Of
good many people Tammany Hall means
mischief
Tt has been too circumspect and decorous
to-day for the nature Of the beast and there
is a grim foreboding that the big organiza-
ton has a well laid plan Of campaign mark
ed out and is but bidding its time. To was
rumored this morning that the Hill men
had orders to be on hand at an the ses-
sions OF the convention in full force and
many were curious in the face of the dearth
of tickets, 20 know how they were going to
get there.
The mystery was solved when 10 was
found Tammauv men had been put on duty
at certain doors, and all who wore a Tam
many badge were passed right In whether
they had pasteboards or not.
The Tammanym men have not been bolster
Gus to-day, but they have the ar Of men
who have resolved upon a desperate coup.
''No indeed, - was the reply, eve under
stand pretty well Mr. Whitney's faculties
as aclaimant and am sure Mr.. Cleveland
will not be nominated on the first ballot.
Give up the fghtF' said Sheriff Remick,
"why its Just getting interesting"
Despite all this the detection ofIllinois
and Indiana has troubled the Hill men more
than they care TO admit
Some Of the Tammany men are sullen
and declare that IL Cleveland is nominated
they viii refuse 70 make it unanimous and
will fght him. The leaders, like Sheehan
: and Croker, say nothing
= That the Boies fellows were disheartened
could plainly be seen this morning, al
though they by no means forsook their
cause. On the inner circle Of the Boies en-
gineers is II. @. Shaver, Of Dubuque, a
newspaper man of established repU-
tatiou and an earnest worker for
the Iowa idol. This morning he
sauntered Istlessly past headquarters, his
shining idle exchanged for an irregularly
shaped crush hat and the expression Of his
face had changed from one Of con-
hdsnce to one OF forlorn hope
He would not acknowledge defeat
but vehemently declared that he
would not endorse any action through
which the name Of Boies would be placed
on the ticket in second place. This state
uent is echoed by Boies men on ever side,
and tonight they are making vain effort
fto stampede tho town.

Tammany had big detachment and a

Then Kansas City hove in sight, and the

them came the Randall club, of Pittsburg,
with a magnificent display of fire works
and a fine serenade. The several demon
strations, the significance Of which is vari-
ously interpreted, were fine and combined,
they made it the liveliest night OF the
week.

BUzzARp's BAY, MASS, June 21.-Ex-
President Grover Cleveland and Governor
Russell went fishing to-day. The distin-
guished inhabitants of Gray Gables were
awake long before 6 o'clock, and after
breakfast Mr.. Cleveland and Governor
Russell fell TO talking over the political
situation.
An hours chat was enjoyed in this line
on the veranda overlooking the bay, when
they were Joined by Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs.
Russell and Miss Ruth. There would be
absolutely nothing new in the political de-
velopments of the days it was agreed, until
after the convention had adjourned, so
sail was decided upon.
When the party returned they found
waiting them bulletins of the progress OF
the convention and several important pri-
vate dispatches from VIM. &. Whitney,
Don NJ. Dickinson and may other Demo
cratic war horses on the scene Of battle at
Chicago.
All the dispatches were Of an encour-
aging kind and reassuring tenor, informing
Mr.. Cleveland that be would be nominated
ON the first ballot After reading the last
bulletin, stating that the convention had
adjourned, the Governor and eX-President
lunched. Gov. Russell will probably re-
main until after the result OF the convention

land and New York Must Take What
She Can Get.
CHICAGO, June 21.-The anti-Cleveland
men In New York have been practically IN
caucus all day long, though the doors Of
the Headquarters have only Deen shut
since p. N.
A stroug effort was made to bring the
delegation into line by Mr.. Whitney short
ly after the adjournment OF the convention,
and IL is understood that Croker, Murphy
and Cochran are now ready and willing TO
cast their votes for the eX-Presldent
nut an unexpected difficnlty has been found
in the temper of the New York representa-
tiyes. who say they propose 70 vote against
Cleveland as long as his name is before the
convention.
MIR. Croker for the first time during the
convention made short speech In which
he stated that the country was evidently
for Cleveland and that New York would
Drobably have 10 take what IT could get
rather than what IL would like.
A committee from Iowa who had in
charge the Boies boom was admitted and
put their case very plainly before the New
York delegation.
The speaker was understood 70 say that
little over 300 votes would prevent Cleve-
lands nomination on the first ballot and
that Iowa had assurances from tho delega-
tions from other States which seemed 70
show that Boies had in sight 10 votes
without counting the ~ votes OF New York.
II these - were cast for Boies on the first
ballot il would make very nearly 200 votes
for Iowas fayorite son, and with the
scattering vote which might 90 70
Pattison, German, Morrison anu
Russell there was, it is said a
lighting chance that votes enough could be
picked up 70 carry the nomination over 70 a
second ballot. In that event, 1t was pre-
dicted that there would be seriOns breaks
in Indiana and Missouri which would
20 solidlv for Cleveland on the hrst vote.
Tammany will meet in caucus at S:5O a.
m. on Wednesday, when all the plans lnoi-
Gated will be fully perfected.

The Leaders See the Danger They Are
In.

CHICAGO. June 21.-An interesting ques-
ton is developing in the Tammany deiega-
tion tonight. A difference Of opinion has
arisen among the leaders as 20 the wise
policy for TammanY to pursue in view Of
the overwhelming sentiment developed in
the Democratic Convention in favor OF the
nomination OF ex-President Cleveland.
Richard Croker is reported as having
taken a positive position in favor OF a
friendly understanding with the Cleveland
leaders. and il is alleged that he IS endeav-
oring TO persuade Edward Murphy, Jr.,
and William SheehaD, Senator Hills lieu
tenants, Of the wisdom OF prevailing on
their chief 20 harmonize the differences la
New YOrs in the interests OF the Tamma-
nv organization. Many OF the leading Hill
men outside Of New York are wiring Sena-
tor Hill 70 the same effect tonight, but as
vt the senator maintains an uncompfO-
lnisirg position.
