Scenes Last Night and To-day—Crowds Discussing the Chances of Candidates —The Betting, Etc. Local interest in the National democratic con- ‘vention ran higher last night than at any previous time, At the hotels and on the street corners crowds were assembled discussing the possibilities and the respective candidates. Cleveland was clearly the favorite, thouvh Bayard and Randall each had strong friends, who maintained a wordy fight tor them in discussion. A good many seemed to have read the convention reports so casually a8 to have overlooked the fact that it was distinctly understood no balloting should take place until after the n of the platform. There were ‘Scores Who, unl the appearance of the last edition Of Tux Stak, anxiously expected a ballot. WHAT A FRIEND OF THURMAN SAID. Ab Obio democrat, a warm friend of Thurman, said at Willard’s in reply to the suggestion that if Onlo would back the ex-Senator with unanimity he might win: “Some very quiet and effective Work ig being done out there, and alter Hondly’s condidacy shall bave played out—and it won't take long—the delegation wili sand by Thurman.” OLD LINE DEMOCRATS PREFER ONE OF THE TRIED LEADERS OF THE PARTY. ‘The remarks of old line democrats generally indicated a preference for some one of the tried leaders to anew man. It was plain that. Thurman, Hendricks, McDonald or Bayard would, as the nominee, arouse more democratic enthusiasin than Cleveland. “It docsm’t look right,” sald an old Indiana demo- crat, “for us to pass by Il our big men who have made our hard nghts and take up anew man. It may De ‘pogiess’ as some say, Dut it ain't any sort of democracy.” THERE WAS SOME BETTING last night, but no big stakes were putup. Cleve- land was generally backed against the feld, and one man backed Judge Field, of tle Supreme Court, asthe winner. ‘The universal comment was thot he was throwing away his moncy. His theory Was that Cleveland will not be able to command a two- | thirds vote, and that a dark horse wiil come to the front. He angued that Fleld would make the most acceptable compromise candidate, UL he Talled to impre:s anybody else with his way of thinking. AROUT THE BULLETIN BOARDS TO-DAY.

All the interest and excitementoot tne day seemed to center about Cleveland. His name was put in nomination by Mr. Lockwood, of New York, who in a happy speech presented the favorite’ name to the convention. He spoke of Cleveland as Tepresenting the class of young men in politics who are coming to the front, for the world moves, he Said, more rapidly than it used to, Me spoke of Cleveland's election as mayor of Buffalo for the Same purposes that his nomination was wanted now—namely, to reforin the government of the United States'as he had reformed Buffalo and then the state of New York, ‘Tue nearest approach to enthusiasm was then reached. ‘The hall was roused with cheers, and canes, banners and umbrellas Were waved in the air, and the excitement was in- tensifled by the opposition of Tammany, led by Grady, whose attack was embittered by a personal enmity for the New York governor. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, seconded the nom!- natton, and creaté i a further'sensation by saying that the great Catholic church did not permit its Priests 1n the pulpit to introduce politica.

Grady said that Cleveland and reform was a pretense and a. humbug, and that he could not carry the state of New York. Ir that were not so, the delegation from. that state would not be here’ divided.

Cuicago, July 10.—There ts no disyulsing the fact that the democracy are somewhat disheartened over the situation this morning. ‘The raid which Tammany hall made in the convention yesterday has cerjainly Impressed many delegates with the bellef that if nominated Cleveland cannot carry New York, and yet every effort which bas been made during the night and this morning to unite on some other candidate has met with absolute failure. The situation 1g not unlike that of the third day of the republican convention; when It was opposition went to Blaine. THE THURMAN BOQM LANGUISHES. ‘The “boom” started by tle California delegation and secon ed by Jobn Kelly for Thurman hasmade no headway whatever. All attempts to secure a united Ohio delegation tu his favor have failed.

He says If he can delay the baiioting Ull to-morrow or Saturday Cleveland wiil be de feated, vut the tumper of the convention at this writing ts One of mupatiencr, and Kelly will hardly be gratified. ‘Telegrams huve poured tn irc ail arts Of ihe state of New York declaring that if eliy is victorious here the democratic party of the stale will disband. TUR FEBLING OF THE GERMANS 1s expressed in the following telegram from the New York Staats-Zeitung: “Should Kelly return Victorlous to New York there will be such disgust and such intense feeling against the democracy, Which would then be piuced in the postin or sub: mitting to the will of Kelly, Wat the republicans will gain a ccinparatively ‘easy victory. Kelly Aghts for his existence, and will not survive his de- eal.” THE PLAN OF THE ANTI-CLEVRLANDITES, agreed upon, 1s, a8 stated, to delay the balloting until Friday. They declare thelr ability to beatthe favorite if @ ballot can be avoided. The leaders of the oppo-ttion hope to hold more than a third of- the dew:rates aw :¥ from Cievelaud for several bal lots, when he 1s expected to collapse. ‘They declare there are 250 voles in the convention that can never be taken to Cleveland, and that his nomination is, therefore, an impo-siUllity. ‘the day 15 bright ana cool as an October day 1n Washington. ‘ihe streets are alive with clubs bands of music, banners, flags, and thousands o} spectators. “Tiere are quite as’ many without the convention building as in it. lthouch Gen.

After the nominating speech was made, there were loud shouts in the galleries for Thur: man, and but litte applause for Hoadly. Estimate of the First Ballot.
