OPENING OVERTURE.
A CIIOni'8 OF DISCORDANT SOUNDS.
CONVENTION HALL , CHICAGO , July 8. The
day opens auspiciously for all the purposes ol
a grant convention , held in the heart of July ,
save that there is a mist in the air which may
grow into rain. The air is cool and bracing
and summer apparel does tiot burden thb
person. Crowds began to gather in tto vi
cinity of the great hall , in which the democrat
ic national convention is being held , at an early
ly hour in the day. The door tenders and
ushers reported for luty at S o'clock , with
people then in waiting to enter and secure
their seats. Inside the auditorium however ,
there was
AN A1TKOACH TO CHAOS ,
laborers still being engaged in giving the fin
ishing touches.
After having been employed during all of
the preceding night , they did not desert the
main platform where the tlncorationa ' .wore
being hung , to wltblnhalf nn hour of-tho time
announced for opening of the convention , when
the workmen quitted the building and the
scene was clear. The picture presented was
majestic and truly so with its sottin ? of
14,400 auditors , every seat in the vast amphi
theater appeared to bo occuuied. It is conceded -
coded that in picturesquonoss the arrange
ment and dressing of the ball exceeds that of
the convention of four weeks ago.
THE CHEAT VISTA
If the old half has been lost by the placing
of the main stngo at ono side , midway , in
stead of at the extreme end of the ballbut
the arrangement brings the entire audience
very much closer to the stage proper and the
delegates. The decorations are not profuse but
striking and pleasing to tlio eye , the national
colors predominating.
Tno only retarding feature is the main plat
form which is dwarfed in comparison with the
magnificent proportions of the hall. The del
egates are in a Hanaro immediately fronting
the speakers' platform on the dead level of the
convention hall. Between the delegates i.nd
the platform are the quartern assigned the
press representatives , which is provided with
tnbleH in raising tiers , affording those workers
the wostcomplnto view imaginable of any in
cident likely to bo provoked during the ses
sions. To the tight and left of the delegates
nro.the
SKATS KOll THK Hl'KCTATOUS ,
sloping upward easily to a point thirty feet
from the floor level. The only additional word
to bo offered in the way of description is that
the lighting of the vast hall in complete , being
flunked nnd crowned with great windows which
pour their Hood of light upon ovary portion of
the auditorium , oven with a dull , leaden nicy
overhead.
At lll0 ! the Horlot coated band of thoFirst
Illinois regiment took n position above the
speaker's platform , and BOOH burst forth with
n national air which proved to bo the signal
for the airivnl of the delegates , From that
moment the crowd streamed in without ceas
ing until at noon hour , when the hall had its
full complement of people.
THK KKI.LKY ItKVOLT.
The breach in the ranks of the Now York
delegation , as indicated in those dispatches
last night , In being used as a very effective
weapon by the opponents of Mr. Cleveland ,
and there is oxorything to indica o that the
Bouthorn delegates will turn toward IJayard
or McDonald , and to this end those who have
been startled at size , and character of the
Cleveland movement are now working , In
diana is being urged to stand by the favorite ,
and not to be tempted from their present line
of action by a vice-presidential olfor.
Speaker Carlisle arrived from Washington
this morning and goes to swell the active
force of revenue reformers now on the ground.
The committee on resolution ? is generally re
garded as having n majority for
A CO.VSKIIVATIVK I'LATKOKM.
It contains , however , extremists of both
vices and a number whoso position has not
been clearly defined. In any actionof the
committee ihoro will bo a majority and a mi
nority report and It is now believed that the
subject may have to bo fought out on the floor
of the convention. Another of the things
which now appear certain to occur is a fight In
the convention over the unit rule and notwith
the claim ! ) mndo yesterday by th
Tammany portion the Cleveland people do
clnro they are ready for this conteit also , nm
will defeat it by a handsome majority.
THK AlTIiOACH OK THK HOfll
for the assembly of the convention was market
by the arrival of the delegates In largo bodio ,
and n prcat crush of people at the door
way , whieh provoked confusion , The arriva
of the California delegation carrying a banno
at their head , provoked the first out burst o
enthusiasm In the body of the audience run
the cheering was hearty. The presence o
the distinguished loaders among the delegate
did not appear to bo caught by the crowd am
there wai no nnplaus to nmtk tliolr acrlval , Till
held true until the familiar fiRJro of Svnnto
riiurman , of Ohio , wa.s.dlscernod when n dice
arose which swelled Into n roar as the mull
once came to know the occasion of the ap
platidlng , While the oxrltomont was at it
height n California delegate , named M. T
Thompson , addressing the chairman who wo
nnt yet In his place , and said : "Tho Calif or
nia delegation , niter traveling 200 / miles catches
os its first elirnppo of paradise in the person o
Allan G. Thunnan , t Ohio. "
Soon afterward when the band struck up
"DIXIE"
there was another great shout proceeding fron
the southern delegations originally , and as tin
import of the applauto was understood it wa
taken up by the audience.
Among the U. S. Senators present , cithe

Mr. Menzoie , of Indiana , offered as nn
amendment to the amendment that no stata

mi. QIIAIIY , or NEW YOIIK ,
spoke in I support of his amendment , He
claimed that the delegation from Nuw York
had been misrepresented in the matter. There
was a great deal of danger ho said , that
through the uower and inlluuiico of political
machinery the honest and truthful opinion of
Now York might not have its proper force.
Hero the newspapers might bu bouirlit to print
in their columns that seventy-two solid votes
from New York would be cast for the cimdi
dntoj but there wns no power to make it so.
[ "Hi ! Hi"J. ! There were resolute men in the
Now York delegation who would not only
give their reasons ivliy ono candidate should
not get the nomination , but would have the
right to givu their votes to that candidate- who
they thought would bu elected. [ "Hi ! Hi ! "

Air. Harris , of Virginia , made a point of or
der that thu discussion was not in order pending
ing the temporary organization of the conven
tion , but tbo point was overruled by thu chair
man.
man.Mr. . Grady continued his speech. IIu said
that when the Now York delegation left that
state it was understood that their votu would
be decidedly ono way , but by political coiubin
stions the people's will was sought to be inter
fered with , so they nmdo this , the only pro
test they could make. They made it for the
honor of the party , nnd HO that Now York
might take its place in the democratic column.
IIu hoped that this convention would adopt
THE OLD DKMOCIIATIC MOTTO.
"Let ovcry man speak his sentiments and
vote his sentiments , " then whatever senti
ment prevails should bo slow tointnrfcro with
the power the states have over their dele
gates. ' Tha federal constitution provided that
votus for president should bo by states , nnd
that thu voice of tbo state should ba obeyed
by its electors. Thu same attempt that was
made now had been made in the republican
convention of 1880 In favor of General Grant ,
but had beeu defeated. Ho admitted that the
state convention of Nuw York had adopted a
resolution in favor of tbo unit iiilo. and ho
had not opposed it because ho believed the
choice of the majority would bu what it was
not to-day. ( Laughter. ) The fact still re
mains that whatever wns done in the New
York state convention could not control the
action of the national democratic convention.
There was no power in the convention that
could make a reporting recretary placea lie
in tliu minutes of the convention and
KALSIl'Y ITS rnOCKKDINGS.
If the chairman of the delegation announced
twenty-four _ of his colleagues as voting for a
certain candidate for whom they already an
nounced their Intention not to vote , nnd jf
the secretary so reported them , ho and his
colleagues would bu reported as setting in a
form which their lips denied , and that would
bo an outrage on free speech.
General Glunie , of California , said his dele
gation had enmo all the way from California
to volu for the greatest political reformer of
the afn , Samuel J. Tildon. Speaking to the
question at issue , ho said the dologatlon from
Now York had been eloitcd by districts , nnd
xt large , nnd it would bu an outrngu on thu
minority not to permit them to vote according
to the wishes of their constituents. In thu
iiiimo of justice , decency nnd fair dealing , hu
"tiled upon the convention to perm it the dis
trict delegates to vote in accordance with the
ivisbes of tbo.-e who chose thorn.
Mr. Powers , of Michigan , advocated the

iHkcd , should a man ba presented ns a reform

Comparative ( | uiel having been ivstorxul ,
Mr. Kelly , procoodt'd ntt follows :
Them are li'J rouutie-t lu thu sUto of Now
York , and but ten of them ( leiurerntle , and by
ilia argument of the senator from New York ,
the great democratic county of Nuw Yoik ,
which elects your democratic president
f an opportunity js t < lvon to thorn ,
s to bo disfranchised in a demo
cratic convention. That in the principle which
n hero nnd now presented to tlio convention.
When the question itself was before the state
convention , it is true a.s Hinted here , that no
liRCUwion took place , nnd It was with the
prontest difficulty that we could pcrauado and
irevail upon the mnjnrity of thn convention to
ulmit u.s upon equal terms with these who op-
) ese us In the county of New York. Having
iccomplUhed that , and having also pointed
out to thorn

\f what they an ) golntr to do , wo have r.o
) ther rcsourcoK , no other appointments , but to
tppeal to a democratic convention to give to
ho democrat ie delegates f mm the great cm-
ilro Ktuto of Now York an opportunity to vote
or their choice in this coiiTontion , The gen-
loinin Hays there aru no procr.donts for thu
lositlon assumed by Mr. Grady. My rccol-
ectiou I'oes back to tbo convention of ,11H.
I'lie very saimi question came up in that con
vention , and by tbo wish , the will and the
good fooling and liberality which prevailed
imong thu delegates , it was concoodcd that no
nan's voice , representing a constituency in n
lomocratic convention should bo Ignored.
Applaueo , ] 1 will not trouhlo the convention
vith a history of democratic conventions from
hat dav to this , but I hope that this conven
tion will take into consideration this import
ant point , which I deslro to present to them.

ratio counties to which 1 hare made refer

of the constituencies that havu sent their dole-

appeal to thu good HOIUO , to thu

Special Dispatch to THK BKK.
CHICAGO , July 8. The anticipated fight bo-
ween thu Cleveland forces and the opposition
mike out soon after opening of the convcu-
ion. It was jireclpatitcd by n resolution in-
riHluced by Sonntor Grady , of Now York ,
'ohn ICelly'ri lieutenant , that the unit rulu ba
irokon. If this rule , making It imperative !
ipon thu states to vote n * a unit as the major-
ty of thu delegations directed , is observed ,
jlovolaml s nomination is an almost forrgono
conclusion. Jint If the rulu is broken mid the
lologatos votes ns they cheese individually , a
eng and bitter light will pr.ibably result. AR
bo case now stands , Cleveland has a majority
of the votu of thu delegates , but it will take
; wo thirds of them to nominate him. The
situation still is , Cleveland ngaimt the field.
Dan Manning is greatly elated over tbcjiciult
of to-day's buttle.
