CHICAGO, July S.-The second day Of
the convention opened bright and cool
with the continuance Of that refreshing
breeze which has made the work by day
endurable and has given delegates 9
chance to sleep with comfort undel
blankets during the scant hours allotted
to rest The shouters seemed to rest
content with the showing already made
and are allowing the workers to settle
down to serious business. The crowds
were moving towards the Coliseum
early in the day, as the time of meeting
was 10 o'clock, and the experience Of
the previous DAY warned the people that
time and patience were required III
gaining admission.
At exactly 1850 Senator Daniel raped
for order. The minions of the sergeant
alarms had some difficulty i'll clearing
the aisles. When ali were seated and
order was obtained, it was found that
the spaces reserved for the New York.

vacant. The threat of bolt came home
with a realizing sense, but it was ex-

In other parts of this paper we
pub sh the good things said about
the newly nominated ticket for
President and vice-Presicent.
On the other hand we have the
great dailies Of New York bitterly
opposing these nominations, and
there is little doubt but that the
national democracy will lose all
the New England aud Middle
States with possibly two excep-
tions. But these states are a.
ready republican and the loss will
really be no loss at all it will be
just losing them over again, and
these States arc not essential to
success. All things considered,
all probabilities weighed. and all
disasters discounted the chances
are III favor OF democratic VIC
tory, the election Of Bryan and
Sewal... But there is no double as
surance of this and the power Of
money 10 buy votes and to buy

never before or it NAV be a tidal

There was no boiling at Chica-

says there will be no third Demo-

Democratic sentiment in the six

ously demands one within the
next Thirty days. He does not be-
ieye that one will be nominated;
he thinks that many Democrats,
