 Brought the Delegates to Chicago.

 Half an hour before the time set for the opening of the convention there were as many visitors in the galleries as witnessed the entire opening session of Tuesday. Not once since the open ing of the convention have all the wis itors seats been filled, but the manner in which the crowd poured through the , entrances today gave evidence that by the time the gaVel fell every seat would | be occupied and the standing room 1 damned to the limit. Delegates and al- | ternates somewhat wearied with the l session of yesterday, were not as | prompt as the spectators in their ar rival, and the orchestra rendered about | Cne-half its days programme while waiting for the convention to open. !
