FRIGHTFUL DOUBLE MURDER IN RICHMOND.— A special fiom Richmond, Va., states that on Sunday night, at about 11 o'clock, a negro named Wm. burke, in a supposed fit of jealousy, shot Pat Harris, also colored, in the mouth. He then locked bimself up in his house with his wite and armed with a loaded musket detied arrest, threatening to kill any one who attempted t enter. The police surrounded the house and proceeded to break in. A panel was knocked out of the door, through which Burke’s wi tried to make her exit from Une house, but b. fore she had succeeded her husband struck he over the head with the musket, crushing in skull and dashing out her brains. The polic then entered and secured the murderer. While all this was going on a large crowd of negroes fathered, and when they learned that Burke ad killed his wife the excitement became iu- tense, and an effort was made to take him from the police and hang him, but the officers kepi the crowd off and took the prisoner to the sta tan-house.

Weaver and Chambers. The socialists were represented in the meeting, but when it appeared that the platform of the greenback and labor conven- Uon, to which all present were invited to sub- Scribe their names, did not contain the “earth, air and water” resolution, the soctalists noti- fied the greenbackers that tt would be consid- ered bad faith if that resolution were not in- corporated in the platform, and that their party would sever its alliance with the green- ack as and nominate its own candidate for President. The socialists have polled 12,000 votes In Chicago and claim 100,000 in the coun- Uy. | Their disaffection trom the greenbackers would ercety: reduce the greenback vote in November.

CINCINNATI, O., June 22.—The first day of the Convention opens with a cloudy, hot day as to the weather, and a misty uncertainty as to the final result, No one ventures to predict it. ‘The Contest for Combinations during the night was very spirited. Many of the delegations were in session till 4 a. m., while the streets were filled with parading clubs and bands till after day light. Taking Tilden at His Word. Tilden was very generally taken at his word, as telegraphed yesterday, by all of the delega- Uons at thelr subsequent meetings, though a few individual delegates threaten to present his name to the convention. The real work to-day appears to be in support of Bayard and Payne. They still lead all other candidates, but even ther best friends fear that they will not be able tocairy the convention, It is conceded that ‘Thurman and Hendricks are out of the race. The Ohio delegation have already broken on Thurman, though they will give him compii- Yotes, and Indiana has secured no re- tor Hendricks. The Southern Delegations with great unanimity agree to support any candidate that New York may agree upon, but the latter continue to be split up over Payne and Pratt, and English, of Connecticut. Tne ‘Tiiden men in the delegation, headed by Payne's Son-in-law, are working closely for P: ne, and claim this morning 40 votes for him. ie Test of the delegation are for Judge Pratt, of Brook- lyn. Telegrams from there, of course, urge his Lomination, headed by the Brooklyn ring. The form in which The Bayara Ticket appears is Bayard and Morrison. The idea is that a strong fight may be made under this banner for Illinois, and that it 1s almost certain to win in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Mr, Belmont is of this opinion, and ready to back it with material ment. The Irlends of Bayard this morning claim for him two hundred votes on the first ballot. This would lead all other candidates. “Harmony and Confidence. The democratic speeches at the hotels last night were all to the same effect. There was not aspeaker who did not say he was for the Cincinnati nominee, and that this year the can- didate would not only be elected, Dut would be & man who, on the 4th of March next, would be inaugurated.

As the case Stands, “he will be buried in the ruins.” The £/juirer this morn- ing says that a portion of the delegation was Poul tngpre, Ser pion aod protesting against treason to Thurman. -The Indiana delegates also held a meeting, and eee against the Widely circulated story that Indiana was for McDonald rather than Hendricks.

G. W. A. | — By Associated Press. | Chances of the Candidates—Bayard Ahead. | Crxcrxnatt, June 22, 11 a.m.—lp to this time | nothing in relation to the probable nomina- | Ucns has taken definite shape. If New York. | New Jersey and Connecticut could agree as to | a ucket, it looks as if the convention would readily accept their decision, so far as can be ees from opinions of various delegates, ut thus far no united action has been agreed | upon. Mr. Bayard still appears to have the largest number of really earnest and hearty supporters, but there is nothing yet to justify the expectation that he will win. New Yor being considered the pivot state, there anxiety to learn who its delegation considers the most available candidate there. Bayard is evidently the strongest_tn southern affections, but the southern delegates will not press him ae by following northern leadership. The Field men have secured the promise of many complimentary voves on the first ballot, and in this way have increased thelr apparent strength. Georgia ts expected to divide its vote between Bayard and Field on the first ballot, but Field’s managers have not been able to con: solidate the Pacific delegates for him. They claim all of Oregon and seven of California's twelve votes; but five Nevada delegates are per- sistently against Field. The divisions in Ohio and Indiana are thought by many to leave all the candidates from these states out of the ques. tion. Payne ccontinues apparently to be quite strong, and some shrewd observers think Unat if the Tilden men held all thelr seats in the | convention, and cast New York's solid vote for Payne, he will lead Bayard on the first ballot. This, however, 1s doubtful, and the chances In any event are that Bayar firm, while Payne's votes , ‘These are opinions only, which are telegraphed In order to give an idea of what the preponder- ance of the talk ‘but all is at sea, and no- | body can give apy safe forecast of what 1s to ecmie, Bescription of the Music Hall, Where the Convention Meets. ‘The convention fs rapidly assembling at 11-30 8. m., in the spacious Music Hall, whose beauties have been too often described to re- quire any further notice now. In general ap- arance it is a rounded oblong, being but little larger in length than breadth. The platform is In the western end, while on the opposite end and on the northern and southern sides are gal- lerles for spectators, these galleries being largeiy cccupied by ladies. The main body of the hall is assigned to the delegates and their alternates, whose positions are indicated by beat bannerets of blue silk edged with gold, bearing the names of the respective states. The upper galleries are decked with American flags, While at the windows the flags of all na- Uonalites are flying. In the center of the hall is suspended a blue canvas bearing the motw “Ohio greets the Nation.” e general effect of the hall is very pleasant, but its seating capacity is less than half thatin which the Chicago convention was held. In thig respect it has greatly the advantage, how- ever, because all its occupants can see and hear. Back of the platform the great organ discourses its music, and in the main gallery at the oppo- site end of the hall a military band 1s stationed. Shields on either side of thé o1 each bear- ing thirteen stars and the national stripes, bear also the words, “Peace, good will, prosperity, } happiness,” at one side, and “abundance, victory, ccmmerce, enterprise,” on the other: ‘The arrangements for the press, though mod. erately good, are not equal to those at Chicago, having been controlled here by men without experience as to the necessities of the case, and without disposition to seek information from those who best know what ts juired.

It is now 12:30, and the conven- tion has not yet been called to order. ‘The Convention Called to Order. Ex-Senator Barnum, of Connecticut, chair- man of the democratic national committce, calied the convention to order at 12.45 p. m. @pening Prayer. He then presented Kev. Charles W. Wendie, cf the Unitarian church, who invoked the Ubrone of grace. He spoke of the young demo- cracy of America having become a refuge and asylum for the distressed and down-trodden throughout the world, and the light and hope of the nation, and prayed that with an unfal- tering hand every unjust law on the statute book might be erased, and our political lite purged from every evil that keeps back the peo- le from the highest measure of virtue and appiness. Above all, he continued, let there be an end of all sectional divisions and strifes. Let every root of bitterness, every occasion @f estrangement be removed,and let our whole peo- ple, forgetting the things that are behind and pressing forward to the things that are before, united heart and hand in’ the bonds of mu- tual coniidence and good will. Help this con- Yention to choose for leaders in the approach- ing and honorable struggle men of large wis- dom and expertence, of lofty character and ir- reproachable life; men true and fearless in the hour of trial, yet ardent lovers of justice and peace. Enable the members of this convention to rise above all self-seeking and personal pref- erences, and indiscreet party zeal into the larger sentiment of public good of American nationality and human brotherhood. Let them remember that he serves his party best who Serves God. We ask that our action to-day may be well pleasing in the sight of God. Judge Hoadly Temporary Chair- man.
