A STREAM OF VISITORS.

A stream OF visitors and a driZzle Of
delegates were passing into the hall an
hour before the time set for the OPEN
ing Of the convention. The anxious
ones hurried to plant themselves IN
their seats before any other person
should preempt them,
Even before one tenth Of the dele
gates had arrived the hall had become
intentionally warm The windows,
which are on only one side open but
halfway and are on the level Of the top
row OF seats In the gallery.
IN The drawing for seats Pennsylva-
MIA and Michigan were fortunate ones,
securing locations directly I'm front Of
the speakers stand, Two thirds Of the
way back 20 the rear was Nebraska.
New York was In the front row just to
the left OF Michigan. Indiana was di-
rectly behind New York. while Massa-
chusetts Jared the worst of amy Of the
great states being I'm the back row.
by the time the hall was ono-third
full the heat began to Increase TO a
noticeable degree. The auditorium
from the Speakers stand was one flut-
ter RS the pnlm leaf fans bobbed back
and forth The delegates lost but little
time IN doifng their coats With the
exception Of the temperature, which
was a serious drawback 10 the conven-
ton, the effect was not unlike a slow
snowfall gradually whitening the sur
face of the ground.
FIRST RIPPLE OF APPLAUSE.
The first ripple OF applause that went
across the convention hall came from
the galleries when the Texas delegation
marched In bearing their flag or red
white and blue. with the single star A
white silk banner bearing the inscrip-
ton Florida Democracy safe and
sound was borne into the hall shortly
after Texas had arrived, and was also
greeted with applause. This was five
minutes before ~, and up to that time
not handicap had been offered to any
man who hnd entered the hail The
platform was crowded with members
