Special Dispatch to THE EVENIXe STAR, Cutcaco, July &—The first day of-the convention 4s typical in its citmate with the democratic situ- atlon—warmer and showery. The only movement looking to any change in the strength of candidstes was begun last nizlit, aud continued until this Morning, under the leadership of a senatorial co- toric, in Debalf of Senator Bayard. Nearly all of the southern delegations have been visited, and strong appeals made for hls support. The general tenor of these appeals Was that’ Bayard could com- Mand all oF the democratic vote of the northern aud eastern states, and just as large an indepen- dent repubilean vote as could be secured by Cleve- land. Letters from Massachusetts republicans to this effect Were shown, and in which tuey also de- Clared that ‘he Dover ‘speech would not lose hlin a singie independent vote. It was also urged that Such ‘a nomin.tion would unite the party in New York, and lusure the state 1a November. The de- cision of several delegations to support Bayard bas made THE FRIENDS OF CLEVELAND SOMEWHAT TIMID. ‘They do not claim for him even a majority onthe first ballot, and fear that If most of the field unite on Bayard the two-third rule will defeat Cleveland. ‘The effect of this change has, of course, been very marked on Tammany ball. ‘There 1s no longer any taik of bolting the convention and refusiug to Sup- | Port the ticket Tn tact, the entire sentiment bere Ouiside of New York is TO LET MR.

He said he took but little stock im the taik of Irish-Americans Kicking against Cleveland. 4 BITTER TARIFF FIGHT IMPENDING. ‘The committee on resolutions will have a bitter fight, und there fs a possibility of that ght being transferred to the convention. If the revenue re- formers have the courage of thelr convictions, tt Certainly will be. ‘The conspiracy to set up a tarlif straddie is well laid. Democrats have been told that New York, New Jersey and Connecticut can- hot be carried’ upon ‘a revenue reform platform. ‘Therefore, the majority of the democrats are re. quested t6 conceal their real views, and skulk be- hind the filmsy shelter of so-called expediency.

HOW IT 18 ARRANGED AND DECORATED. ‘The arrangement of the hall in the great ex- position building isin marked contrast with that Of the republican convention held in June. Then the stage was at the end of the hall, with tiers of seats rising back of it, holding over a thousand sons. The democratic committee that t was impossible for quite two-thirds of the au- dence to hear what was golng on, have abandoned the stage feature and a sinall platform on the Michigan avenue ‘side of “te build ding, equi. j distant from the ends. The delegates and'alter- nates, therefore, face the side instrad of the end, and occupy 1,640 seats immediately in front. On each side of the delegates the hail ts divided off into sections for sp-ctatora, The result is that only {hose in the center can hear what is going on, those ‘at the ends being unable to hear, and, in many in- stances, to see anything. ‘The seats for the pros and the very mucl meiit has caused some dissaustaction. While | seating capacity, compared with the other conven- Uon, has undoubtedly been tacreased, the facilities seeing and, hearing have been, decreased. ‘There are seats for about 18,500 persone. ‘The decorations are much more elaborate than ‘av the republican convention.
