THE SCENE AT THE EXPOSITION BUILDING. Col. Robert G- Ingersoll spoke last nigat st the Exposition Building to the largest audience ever drawn by one man in Chicago. From 6 o’clock the sidewalks fronting along the build- ing were jummed. At every entrancc there were hundreds, and half'an hour later thou- sands, clamoring for admittance. So great was the pressure the doors were flually closed, and the entrances at either end cautiously opened to admit the select who knew enough to apply in those directions, Occasionally a rush was made for the main door, and a8 the crowd came up against the huge barricades they were swept - back only for another effort. 3lore than one la- | dy was caoght by the undertow, and acrose thestreet to take her place on the next wave that poured upon the resolute doors. Wabash avenue, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, and Van Buren streets, .were jammed with ladies and gentlemen, who swept into Michigan avenue, and swelled the sea that surged around the building. At 7:80 the doors were flung open and the people rushed in. Seating accommodatlons, supposed to be adequate toall demands, had been provided, but in an instant they were filled, the aisles were jammed and around the sides of the building poured a steady stream of human- ity, intent only upon some coign of vantage, some place, whence they could see snd whers they could hear. From the fountain, beyond which the building lay in shadows to the north- ern end, was a swaying, surging mass of people. The platform was erected on the eastern side of the building, almost midway between the main entrance and the elevator. A sounding board had been established over the speaker's stand, and seats had been arranged behind it for more prominent and invited guests. TAE NORTHERN KNTRANCE was reserved for gentlemen accompanied by ladies; the seats immediatelyaround the speak- er's stand were reserved for the gentler sex. And such another attendance of ladies has never been known at a political mecting in Chi- cago. They came by the hundreds, and the speaker looked down from his perch upon thou~ sands of falr upturned faces, stamped with ths most intense interest in his remarks. The galleries were packed. The frame of the huge elevator creaked, groancd, and swayed with the crowd roosting upon it. The gallery- railings bent and cracked. The trusses bore their living weight. The roof was crowded, and the skylights tcemed with heads. Here and there an advenoturous youth crept out on the girders and braces. Towards the northern ead of the building, on the west side, is a smaller gallery, dark, sud not particularly strong-look- fog. It was fairly packed—packed like a sar- dine-box—with men and boys. Up in the or- gan-loft, around the sides of the organ, every- where that 8 human could sit, stand, or hang, was pre-empted and fillea. Once before in the history of Chicago the Ex- position Building has been filled, but that was ‘when men met frrespective of party to announce the fact that they knew their rights and were determined thenceforth to protect them. Tho throng last night partook of a more extended and national character. It was composed of Republicans. Of the immense crowd—at least 50,000 in number—nincty-nine one-hundredths were Republicans. Here and there a Democrat. turnedup to hear what was said or sce what was to be done. . But the huge* building euvcloped an army of Republicans assembledto honor a leader in the party and applaud the sentiments that leader should enunciate. ‘It was a roag- nificent outpouring, a compliment alike to the principles it represented and the orator. At 7:45 there was not standingroom for more. Calis were made for music, and Frank Lum- bard’s Glee Club was called upon. * Vive L’Amerlul;’ a campaign song, and “Old Shady " followed in quick succession. AT THE CONCLUSION of the last song the apglmc was vociferous, and at its height one of the gallery supportson the western side, and just opposite the speaker’s stand, partially gave wav. There was a yell. Then came a stampede. In an instant that pss of the gallery was cleared. Beyond one or twu t:r\uheg hats no damage was done. The plat~ form sunk & foot or more, but it was soon oc- cu’gicd again. here was @ short interruption, when Lum- ‘bard came forward again and sang the old War bymn— xnmm beanty of the lilles, Christ was bora across the sea. The audience joined in the chorus, and 33,008 Yoices sang until the walls rang agatn, Glory, glory, hallelujah. A% 8:05 Nevins’ Band came in, forcing a way, s
