THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA. TUESDAY, JULY 15. 1684.—'TWELVE PAGES. DEMOCRACY Gathered in Chicago to .Name the Next President. A DETERMINED SET OF ME Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas Temporary Chairman. BOX. W. II. VILAS, PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. 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. THE OPENINO SCENES.

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.

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 Butler, highly 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."
