The Candidates Placed in the
Nomination,
Chicago, III., July 7. — [Special.]— All
tl»e delegation* have arrived, and
the city 1* booming with
democrats on all sides. The number is greater
than the day before the Into republican con
vention met. There is lets excitement and
far less hurrahing than nt the two last demo*
erotic conventions. The delegates from the
various states seem to realize that it is Im
portant to consider well all that Is done.
There is less expression of preference than *
ever knew at a national convention before
the balloting commenced. The only excite
ment we have had is the guerilla war carried
on against Cleveland by a handfull
Flower men, sore-heads and Tammany hall.
They have been asserting most irasDively up
to last night that he tlid not have a majority
of the New York delegation, but the delega
tion met and he carried ull but nineteen
Flower men, and under unit rule the
seventy-two votes will be solidly for him.
The following gentlemen were designated to
day by the delegation to fill the committees
W. K. .Simmons, committee on credentials
W. T. McArthur, on organization; K. 1
Howell, on resolutions; J’*t Walsh, on
national committee. I saw a Georgia delegate
made very sick last night of the chairmun of
the republican executive committee of this
state, who Mid he preferred the democrat/
should nominate Cleveland. The Georgian
said to him: "Who do you think should he
the strongest man for the democrats
“Butler, by all odds,” said the republican.
This broke up the conversation. K. 1*. II.

THK MARCHIXO MIX.
The feature of the day was the arrival of
the marching organisations. Their coming
was heralded by bauds of music, and from
rarly morning until the arrival of Tnmmauy
hall last night, there have been constantly re
curring scene* of marching bodies and boister
ous reception*. Great crowds were assembled
in the vicinity of the Palmer house, aud each
arriving contingent was nu t with great cheer
ing. The Cook county demo
cratic club, a strong locdl organization,
performed the greatest portion of the local du
ty, but were joined as tue day advanced by
outride clubs, so that the McDonald club, of
Iudiauu|Ndis, and the Irving hall aud Tom ma
ny clubs, of New York, bad ns their escort the
Amerlcus and Jlaudall dubs, of Philadelphia,
the New York county democracy aud other
outside organizations. Last night in the bril
liantly lighted stmts about the Palmer house
wa* a mass of people, computed to number
2U.00U, drawn thitiior by the commotion occa
sioned by these arrivals.
THR S1T.XKM OX THK HTSRKTS.
The scene* of activity about the Palmer
house, which is at present the groat national
jK.Iiticnl center, were renewed curly this morn
ing. By M o'clock the utaiu corridors of tho
hotel, and the thoroughfares leading up to it,
were fill«il with great masse* ol people which,
by their very number*, made the progress of
street cars,and carriages very slow, umi at
titties Well nigh impossible. In
tbs dining rooms and cafes in
the vicinity, there was an army of men, huts
In baud, waiting their turn for seats at the
breakfast tables, lu fact tbe crush ha* now
became so great as to make comfort a matter
of only faint possibility, and the discomfort
has been greatly increased by the fact that the
headquarters of tho party have been central
ised instead of being divided and scattered, a«
was the ea»* with the republican national con
vention. The crowd* to be ac
commodated are much greater than nt
the republican convention, which fact is due
largely to the presence of great number* of
marching organizations, some of which re
semble full inarching regiments by their num
ber*, aud while it was probable that Inst
night that all had arrived on the scene of ac
tion, this morning witnessed the arrival of
additional host*. Delegations, clubs, parties
and individuals came i^mriug into tbe city oti
early trains without limit, and a* they moved
directly upon the hotels, those places became,
a* the‘day wore on, inaccessible to every one
except a stalwart pusher

The marching column numbered
thousand, and carried a variety
reticle*, all of which bore the face of Butler,
supplemented With such sentiments as “Labor
needs a statesman." “If J am,not for you, I
am against vou—Butler to the factory czars of
Lowell." “the workingmen welcome Butler."
Toward the rear of the column win home aloft
a mammoth spoon, on which was inscribed
••Butler will feed you all." The extreme rear
of the line was made up of a broom brigade,
displaying the device, “Butler will sweej WM

Uhicaoo, July 8.—[Special.]—Tho conven

filled to overflowing, with hundreds on the
outside. The speech of Governor Hubbard,
temporary chairman, was splendid. His
Terence to the fraud of 187(1 created the
udest oppbiuw given during the delivery of
the speech. After the temporary organization

menced, and ull the opponents of f’levcland
joined in to help break the unit rule. The
debate was not bitter, but was earnest, nml
.ntinned for some time, when loud call*
were made for the question, which was that
tho delegates from New York should ho ul-
lowed to vote without regard to the unit rule.
The result of the vote was—yea*, 333; nay

was greeted will* loud applause, -and It lx

The fight made on him has been a bitter one,

Mr. Fellows proceeded with his arguments. All
that the majority of the New York delegates desired
was to do what their state had instructed them to
do, express her sentiment in a certain prescribed
way. He appealed for the convention not to take
away that right. Jtwnsa right dear to the state
of New York. I f*he were stripped oi that right
