The apportionment was maOo tlirco or four weeks ago anil since that ttmo hundreds of application1 ! have boon piling Into Chicago from papers all over the west and south which did not understand that the press arrangements had boon relegated to a commlttoo 1,000 mlles nway from the conven tion city. NenmimiH-r Men Klrklng Ilnril. Tno congressional press coramlttco , of which Mr. F. A. Q. Handy Is chalrraaln , maintain * that as only 350 scots were nllottcd them for distribution , they could certainly not gwo nccomodatlons to 2,000 newspaper workers , nml that they should not bo blamed for the Inclc of facilities when that question was determined solely by the national com- mlttco. And so It is that the national com mlttoo Is tonight the object of n general protest - test from the nowspipcr fraternity , nnd this protest llndi vigorous ulloranco In the din- patches that are going out ever the wires to all paints of the union. Several vain attempts were made to bring the commltteo to open the trallcry to the out siders. Hut It. was foil that this matter should bo disposed of by the committee on resolutions , and whnn a southern delegate Inquired , "what is the matter with the ox- cotifodoratest" n discreet delegate from a northern state promptly moved to refer the wliolu question to the comraittoo on resolu tions. The conviction that Cleveland shall bo the loader of the iiomocrallo party has full pos session of tha delegates today. Tammitiiv Hull and the South. The strong factors in the democratic party the south and Tammany hull Imvo not played the loading parts as they have boon woiit to do , nnd ns undoubtedly they could do If they were In accord. The soutli did nok glvo Its confldonco to Hill , but It has boon generous In Its approval of Hill. Hut the moment the south hna mis givings of success under Hill's leadership It laid nsluo Its sentiment and turned to Cleveland. The nt'compllshed Whit ney , who poured oil on the troubled waters and stood between Tammany hall nnd tho200,000 revolting dem ocrats , overshadowed Hill aud the Syracuse people , and broke up the lines of faction which was the chief danger to Cleveland's success. The moment the couth bellovod that Cleveland could carry Now York , under the leadership of Mr. Wuttorson , all opposi tion molted nway nnd the demand for the nomination of Cleveland grow Irresistible. This overwhelmed Tammany hall , or rather Isolated It , ana loaves it as the ono obstacle in the way of Cleveland's royal triumph. Tailing Now Hope. The fact Is manifest that the swinging into line of many of the western states has given now hopes and spirits to the democrats. They nro no longer In a hopeless minority , and the touch of elbows doubles their power. The doubtful democratic states of the west , uniting on Cleveland , constrained the oppo- nltlon to him In the solid south to yield. Moreover , the south was moro divided in this convention than It has been slnco 1STO. Acaln on the silver question , the south nnd the west are In accord , nnd therefore in clined to .support each other on all other mat ters. Hut neither can the south or the west , furnish a cimdidato for the presidency In the year IbftJ. For Iho flrit tlmo slnco IS3'J the south , or rather Mr. Wnttorson as n southern demo cratic leader , had timidly darou to suggest n southern statesman for the presidential nomination. But , the aucgostlon was only whispered and the movement for Gorman , Illto that for Carlisle , each in Its turn , molted into thin air. Indeed the efforts with brass bands aud public parades to make a candidate of Hill , of I5.vimor , of Morrison , ol Holes , were not it whit moro successful than the whispering for Gorman. Thulr ( Inly Cniullilntc. The personality of Cleveland towers over all. The rank nnd lilo of the democratic party the army of nearly 0,000,000 of voters believe In the ox-nrosldont. The moral forcu of this popular opinion is stronger than Tammany hall , though It were supported by the loaders in all the other states , and whllo It is true that the ex-federal officeholders the broad nnd butter brigade are hero formidable In numbers , still those mon , Ilka Gorman nnd Pnlmor , Bolos and Gray , are hero to execute the will of the masses. Never was a democratic convention moro thoroughly dominated oy popular opinion , against the Judgment of many of the inoro generous-minded of the acknowledged leaders. Now that the presidency is practically dis posed of in nil but the formality , the spirit of speculation which is always active In political conventions Is directed to the vice presidency. The selection of cx-Govornor Gray of Indiana us the running mate of ox-President Cleveland scorned very proba ble last night and this mornlnir , but later In the day It transpired that Mr. Gray might have some opposition whore it was least oxpeutod. < ) | ininMits | or ( iniy. There nro various mcmbor.s of the Indlann delegation , among whom lire said to bo numbPiod the leaJora of the Cleveland fac tion In the Hooslor state , who uro opposed to the selection of .Mr. Gray nnd would bo dls- posoil lo construe his nomination ns nn af front to Iho poopla who Imvo berne the brunt of battle in tlu Hooslor state In bi-balf of Cleveland nnd In opposition to the presidential ambition of Indiana's favorlto BOII. So it scams that Iho selection of Mr. Gray as u means of insuring the electoral vole of that state for tha doziourallu ticket might not , after all , contribute any cer- tnintv to the result , which Is hop J to ba nt- tulnod , nnd the dUsusston of this peculiar hltuatlon in the Hooslor state hat oiusu.l the eitiro question to bo opened up again. The proverb that politics mukus strnngo boJ.fellows was uovor bettor illustrated thai : Ir. this controversy over thu vlco presidency. Tlio Uoia of the day llmU the Clovaland pco- pl > i of Indiana secretly allied with the nnti- Cleveland faction In the uttouipt to provcut the nomination of Mr. Gray. . llunilnj ; lor Huvonco. The former ro aottmtod oy the desire to prevent the ox-governor gaining political lupremiiuy In the mute of Indiana , mid tno latter are burning with n doslro for rovcngo on the Gray people for coi.bontint ; to turnover ever the entire vote of Indiana to drover Cleveland when It was so confidently ex pected that the majorlly of tha In- > U Inn a delegates would stand but to i I'D last upalnst the ronomlimtion of the cx-prcildent. Jt is said that tha Cleveland pcoplo of Indiana favor the selection of Coi > eroi man W. C. Uyimm of Indl'inapoHs if uu Indiana man i * nominated for the vice presidency , and the Georgia aoirauuon i.s iiiso unuoraioou to bo very fuvorablo to Mr. Ujuuin , Btevonson and MorrUon of Illinois , Holes of Iowa land Ounpbi'li of Ohio are alto spoken of , but despite all this Governor Gray still is the favorite candidate far the vloo presidency.

Um brellas were raised in all parts of the hall for protection from various aggressive glob ules of water that sneaked In through crevices in the root. Amonjr others who shielded themselves from the fluid was Dick Crokor of Now York , who , from under his spread umorolla , calmly surveyed Iho situa tion as far us it was visible in the Rloem.

" [ Applnuso.J Owens' IComurlcg. The temporary chairman , when the ap plause that greeted his appearance subsided , said : "Two great dangers menace the dem ocratic party.

But with my well known opposition to tno nomination of Mr. Cleveland , if I should go on the platform committco aud urge such a course , I should bo at once charged by the free coinage Cleveland land mon with being there for the purpose to make trouble by my extremism , whilst on the other hand if I should propose n free coinage j plank ornstrnddlol should bo charged by Cleveland's eastern supporters with a purpose - pose to handicap his election in advance , i Taking oltbor horn of the dilemma I should bo suspected nnd distrusted m the begin ning nnd in the end , In the event of disaster , held responsible for that which I wns powoilots to control. In other words I should bo required to assume grave responsi bilities without the conIIdonco and support of the guutlomon immediately back of Mr. Cleveland. I fool under no obligations to tuko such a false position , so 1 refused it. " Mr. McIConzIc , whom Mr. Wattorson pro posed for tbo place , was unanimously elected. Ills Siiccvnsor on the Commlttcie. Mr. Wattorson considered his appointment appropriate , ho being on original Cleveland man "which amounts to a great deal. " Mr. Wattorson expluincd'tnat his refusal to serve on the co mm it too was a direct display of his approval of Cleveland's nomination. "If Mr. Cleveland la nominated no ono will support tbo ticket moro heartily than I shall , " ho continued , "lam his friend , not bis onomy. I came here for peace , not for war. But I nm not the man who ought to place Clove- laud upon his platform , and I cannot consent .to bo a party to place him upon a platform stultifying him as to the record. I said , Mr , Cleveland is a platform to himself. Both his personality and his opinions arounoscapablo , and oven if wo deslrad to straddle the silver issue ho could not mount or ride our straddle with any grace or safety.

At the Jlcqucst oi n Number of States , It was announced that the resolutions bad boon adopted at the request of the signers of a letter , who represented thirtv-livo states nnd appealed for harmony and the wlth- Irawal of the contest as likely to create blttoinoss and dissension , vhich would militate against success n November. It is understood hat this letter was prepared and sent to the Syracuse delegation at their request , as they desired not to push the contest under the cir cumstances. The signers are not given , and at the inootinc tonight ono of the opposition ntimatcd cicany nis uisoeiioi tnat loirty- Ivo states In the democratic convention had made the request. It was known that when the commlttoo on credentials was called to order that Mr. Joudert asked to withdraw the contest and Mr. Bourke Cockrau. was on hand to watch Lho interests of the regular democracy of S'ow York and BOO that no point of vantage was gained for use in the convention or in w York state in the contest for supremacy in the state organization , which has boon threatened and feared The llrst thing done was the submission of a request by Chairman Lamb , at tbo request of Mr. Coudort , that he bo allowed to make n statement withdrawing the credentials of thn Syracuse delegates filed this afternoon , which constituted tbo making of a contest. Immediately n motion was made to lay the request on the table , but it was declared that ho should bo heard , Cocknin 1'llcfl nil Objection. Mr. Cockrau was nn his foot and at once raised the question as to the request being properly in order. Ho maintained that Aiora was nothing before the commlttoo ; ho jad never hoard of a contest having its incipiency - cipioncy In the contest commlttoo. No cre dentials were submitted by tbo contestants to the committco. nnd if they had done so it was doubtful If ho , Cockran , would bo a member. Ho did not rccognlzo the right of any member of his commit tee to make a contest ( referring to Bragg's filing the Syracuse credentials. ) A contest must bo made in the convention. Had such a paper been presented there , ho would have opposed Us rateronco. Ha would tiavo wanted It hoard oy tbo full convontion.

Coudort was to ba recognized us the Syracuse representative ho gave notice that the ether ldo was going to bo hoard , or n long while would bo consumed in tub discussion. He then struck a hornet's nest bv saying : "I know there are democrats in the lollowihg of Cleveland. Haven't you votes ouough to afford to bo u democrat for oncoi" Ho denounced thu Syracuse convention as "bolters , " and said they would be called down. General Bragg warmly nskod what the gentleman meant by saving "democrats for oncui" Ho had boon a Ufa long democrat. St. Claire I don't mean you , sir , but there are mugwumps In your section.

"Wo wimt votes ; wo don't wunt to drlvo them nway wo want to reconcile all dlfformices and use our scalp ing knives on our onomlos and not on our friends. " C. B.

O'Uonnoll of Colorado thought It apparent to every man that if the Syracuse delegates were democrat * they would not ba here , but ho was willing to hold out liU band anil in vite them into the faith. It was because thov were not domocvats that they bad sought to cast a slur on tbo regular Now York democracy. But If they wore manful enough to acknowledge tholr Bins , ho would not cast anything in thu way of their re pentance , and they should ba allowed to con fess and if they showed ti desire elnoeioly to do bettor ha fuvorod granting tliein absolu tion. General Brace replied to 'tho ' slur on the mugwump , .nlugwuiur. , as ho understood it , was u man who was not bound by party , bul voles at be thinks richl , but ended by da- clarlng that the Syracuse delegates were lot mugwumps , O'Uonnoll ngaln attempted to reply , but the majority wns for harmony and cut him off with cries of "question. " Cockrau tot the lloor and moved to clvo Coudort all the time ho wanted. Ho was not opposed to Condcrt talking. All hi ob. eotod to was to surrender the domocratlo inrty to the mugwumps who despised and who only support certain candidates bccaUso they say they uro bettor than the democratic iarty. If there bo a contest let it bo hoard , but ho opposed the explanations about something that did not exist. Was this committee meeting to wound the sensibili ties of the Syracuse gentlemen , or to try contests. Its tlmo should not ba taken In re ceiving explanations , not of the contest , but > f the withdrawal of nn alleged contest. If .hoy were to bo hoard , the regular democracy should have n chance to answer. ItaUocI III * Voice for llnrmony. Footo protested against tha word smuggled , and spoke for harmony. Cockransald ho would bo glad to give Coudort all the tlmo ho u anted H ho would mlv furnish a copy of thu alleged signatures to the petition asking the withdrawal of the contest. Coudort , having nt last got n bearing , said 10 bad not expected bis doraocraov to bo im- lugnod by Cockran , whoso political fortunes 10 had tried to advance. Cockran interrupted with n disclaimer of muoachlng Coudnrt's democracy. Coudcrt said ho was hero for harmony. ! Io had hoard a great deal about mugwumps. Ho thought men talked mugwump when ihoy did not know what they talked about. Ho had grown grey In the service and hod never received any rewards , nnd if that were mugwumpory they were welcome to it. Ho claimed that the Syracuse mou repre sented 200,000 democrats nnd hod como here with a claim , but had been told that Its prosecution might bo regarded outside of Now York ns evidence of dissension aud im peril the democraticparty. . They had there fore voted unanimously to withdraw and ? lvo that evidence ol tholr good faith. The resolution had boon passed by the representatives of the men whoso democracy had never been Impeached , ana who had always boon faithful. There was a humorous sldo to it and that wns those mon bulng called bolters by these who had cone after the llosh pots and olllcos In the republican party nnd then como back to do- uounco him as n bolter.

Coudort replied : "Partly , " nnd then D'Donnoll started in to score n point oa the "anti-snappers" by asking why they had instituted It , but was cut short by loud cries of "Sit down , " on Lho part of members of the committco and by Lamb , the chairman , who ruled that the contest , was withdrawn nnd there was noth- Inc before the committee , thorobv shutting off O'Donnoll , notwithstanding bis protests against this summary method of preventing trou bio.

In fact , the magnificent disci pline which soomod. to rule Tammany on Its coming to Chicago has largely disappeared , and its loaders admit they can no longer con trol their men. The real work of the Tammany caucus was brlof. Air. Crokor made a short speech , in which ho stated that the country was evidently for Cleveland and that Now York would probably have to take what it could got rather than what It would like. Iowa's 1'lca for lolen. A committco from Iowa , who had in ohargo the Boles boom , was admitted nnd put their case very plainly before tbo Nurr York dele gation. Their speaker was understood to say that a little ever 300 votes would prevent Cleveland's nomination on tbo first ballot and that Iowa had assurances from tbo delegates from other states which seemed to show that Bolos had In sight 120 ballots with out counting the seventy-two of Now York. If these sovouty-two were cast lor Boles on the first ballot it would make very nearly 300 votes for Iowa's favoriio son , nnd with the scattering vote which might go to Pnttl- son , Gorman , Morrison and Russell there was , it was said , a lighting chance that votes enough could bo picked up to carry the nomination ever to a second ballot. In that event it was predicted that there would bo sorlous breaks In Indiana and Missouri , which would go solidly for Cleveland on the llrst voto. "He must lose after the first ballot , " the Iowa spokesman said , "and to boat Cleveland land wojonly need to prevent a stampede on the first. If Now York will come to us , wo believe that wo hnvo nothing to fear. " Tiimmany'H rro ; rnm. Tammany loaders then hold a sorlous con sultation , and It is said that the following program hts been ugro&d upon : If Bolos shall show In the earlier states called upon tbo roll symptoms of the strength which the lovvans claim for him , then Now York , In stead of presenting Hill's ' name , will cast its seventy-two votes for Boios for the effect the change will have on the states lower down on tbo roll call. But if Alabama , Florida , Kontuoky , Connecticut , Maryland , Now. Jersey , Minnesota , Missouri , Nebraska , Kansas , Louisiana and Georgia do not give Boles a serious and promising vote than Now York will cast its strength to Hill as against nnv candidate. Tbo matter has oven gone so far that It is said a stoorinc commlttoo has been appointed to count and consider the votes of the various Htatos and to Indicate to tbo New York delegation what its duty is to bo under the promises.
