EXCITING - ‘SCENE, Organization To Be Com- pleted 'To-Day. AN ANIMATED. AND Oincemati, May 1, 1972. ‘This morning all the politicians, préss men and pathiners were ‘early astir. Such hotels as the Jamés, Burnet and Gibson preseuted a weary’ and monotonous assemblage of boot legs thrust forwardas bedless lodgers dozed ‘and groaned. ‘The parlors, wheré ‘Neddquarters, of candidates had been established; showed, after eight @’ctock, slevepy-eyed Gnd-worn men, young and old, fghting up under exhaustion. The newapaper men were generally worn out and had Jost ali their in-. quisitiveness, and nobody canvassed the elaimea of ‘she candidates, SIGNS OF THY FUTURE. ‘There Were seen scattered over the floors cards and handbills with such head lnes as, “The Ticket That Will Win. For President—Oharies Francis Adams. For Vice President—Lyman Trnmbul}.” The newspapers came ont with large ex- tra sheets, full of little else but the Oonvention, and, by the way, editorial leaders had been telegraphed from all parts of the country to imQuence: the nomination of tis man or prejudice that one, It seemed apparent that a good many people had long had large expectations of the Convention or large presumptions as to their pewer over it, RARLY MORN, It rained all night in floods, and this morning the arizzde continued ‘and the alr was sticky; and very soon the city was filled with strains of music, and ‘the line of beards and carpet bags took the direc- tion of Mozart and Exposition Halls. At Mozart Halla good-humored, orderly and well attired con- vention of Germans and Americans assembled, and after a short seasion adjourned in deference to the other convention. “WHERE ARE OUR TICKETS 7” ‘The room of the Committee of Reception, in the same hall, was besieged with people soliciting Wekets, and the delegations of distant and thinly represented States were rewarded with a large excess of pasteboards. The names in the Delaware call, for example, were those of George Alfred Townsend and John M. Williamson, ond inquiry failed to discover any other persons. Mr. Town- wend ie a native of the State and has never voted elsewhere. THB POLIOR ON THE GROUND. ‘The police force at Exposition Hall was not large, but reapectfil and saffictent, and a number of ushers were placed in the aisles, lobbies and in the rear of the stage to direct people to seats. TNE MUSIC OF THE UNION. A band of music was placed upon a balcony in front of the hall, which began to play various airs after eleven o’dlock, when the doors and galleries were thrown Open, and speedily the whole body of that portion of space reserved for delegates at the base of the platform was filled. FILLING UP. ‘The galleries and audience part filled up slowly, aud very few ladics, comparatively, entered the rear galleries, owing to rumors of the leakiness of the roof and the general inclemency of tife day. At aquarter to twelve a band of music also en. tercd and occupied a cell or recess in the extreme renr of the stage, where the musicians were hidden by flags and évergreens. By this time the appear- ance of the place was very animated, The dele- gates were almost atl well dressed, cleanly shaved, orderly men, with @ large sprinkling of youthful and even boyish collegiate faces. TEUTON DELEGATES. ‘The German elemontwae very large, and It poured into the andience portion of the hall as well as among the delegates, and remained earnest, bnt stolid, gazing on and waiting for the decisive mo- went of organization. APPRARANCR OF THE BALL. A line of flags overhung the galleries on both pteles of the hall, Beneath these a continuons line of looped evergreens foil from every white column, so as to expose above the row of painted sbields of the States, each shield bearing the name of the Stato in Diack letters on a while bar dexter. The pillars sup- porting the galleries were also wrapped with ever- greens as far up as the gallery, and a circle was left im a large mass of evergreens for a small shield. ‘The stage was very beautifully treated with jong skeins of evergroeus, covering nearly over the speaker's head, and at the point of convergence a great bulbons mass of ivy creeper and laurcl, fresh and sparkling, dropped down and swung in the elear upper light, Over this a huge wreath of ever- green was suspended from the gas fixtures, The gas standards on each elde of the President's stand werg wray With sik fags, wound round with Svergreens. ‘Khe Speaker's Chair was a substantial and weil -presorved, though venerable, object of brown velvet, with gilt legs, and is said Ww havé been used by John Adamg.on some patriotic occa- won. The rear of the stage was covered by a screen of silken “fagy, with sheaf of standards and eagles, eumounted frat with the eMgy of alange sprees engie, and above with the coat oe Cincinnati beautifully draped. A mall thicket of tropical and temperate blooms was distributed. infront, of and on the plank of this wercen. Up in tho high gabic of the hall was a large paintings femaie Muse of History, with a rather Germanio face readlag from a volume, PACKED, At twelve o'clock the house was crowded in every part and the tage was densely packed, not only with sitting, but with crowds of standing people of rank, promineut among whom were Long: John Went- worth and Senator Tipton, CALLED TO ORDER. Amid perfect silence and perfect attention Colone! Wn. M. Grosvener. stepped forward’ and called the. Convention to,order.in 9 ‘short, sharp speech, which was sevoral times interrapted by applause. “Grosvenor is & wiack-halred, dark- skinned young man, of rather Hebrew features, RY CHAIRMAN.

At the conclusion of Mr. Mathews’ addrese three NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. secretaries were named, and, to the dimapppint~ ment of many, Colonel Grosvenor moved that an adjournment be effected in order to perfect the State delegations. : This, Bowever, passed: without dissent, and al) were abont to go tranquilly, when, suddenty, Carl Schurz appeared, SOHURS OVATrONTZED. Instantly the whole houve was in uproar from every side, The name of the eloquent German was shouted, and he came forward in a neatly fitting roan spring overcvat, with hat, cane and eye- glasses, and was received with cheers, Jim Scoville, of New Jersey, rushing to the front and waving his bat. Schurz spoke but a few sentences, and these in @ very distinct and moderate-pitched voice, with one or two hite, He refused to go on when re- quested, and the great mass Of men broke up at one o’ciock precisely. DAVIS EXPIRING, ‘The warked feature of the morning was the ap parent deadnese of the Davis movement, Yester- day and last night a large crowd of Minois sup- porters of the Judge, numbering probably eight hundred or a thousand, reached the city with s band of music, and great hopes were entertained of the effect their presemee would have upon the Convention, but carly this morning they applied for tickets to the body of the hall and were refused, the regular list of delegates having been already handed in and the tickets for their admission issued and distributed. r MKNACES OF COMING TROUBLE. There was yf course considerable feeling mani- foated, and threats were made in the roome of the Bxecative Committce that Illinois would have ber rights any way, and would, if necesnary, force a ‘way into the hall.. In consequence of these threats @ seenc similar to.that. which occurred at the con- vention in this city that nominated Buchanan, when the Benton ur) democrate, headed by Grats Brown, fought thelr way into the hall with revolvers drawn after knocking down the door- keeper, was.anticipated. On the assembling of the delegates at Exhibition Halla strong pelice force was in consequence detailed to guard the entrance. As the fail fs surrounded by aniron railing and gaten, the prespect of a anccessful attack by the. Davis supporters ie net very promising. REW YORE IN COUNCIL, The Now York committee, of eight, appointed to arrange the list of delegates to the nominating con- vention .met at the Burnet’ Honse, with closed doors, to complete their work, delegates and Claimants being admitted toplead their cases, when the delegates at large were aringunced, TILTON, MAD WITH INDIGNATION, The flery Tilton, who has been eagerly looking for the position, and bas been exhibiting himself and his flowing jocks to the delegates for that pur- pose, took immediate oxception to the name of Archie Bliss, of Kings. “Why, dir, It will kill. the movemont,”’ sald the excited Theodore. ‘We can wever carry the Brooklyn water works.” TT, T. evi- dently believes that, the great Mberal republican movement depends opon the repadiation of the Brooklyn water works job and the selection of Theodore 'THton as delegate at large; but the reat of the delegates fail to appreciate the importance of either, INTRIGUING FOR PUTLADRLPBTA, It camo out to-day that Oliver P. Morton had really formed a conspiracy to beat Grant at Phila- delphia, Senator ‘Tipton introduced to me one of bie constitucnts this morning, who informed me that the brothers-in-law of the great war Governor and General Boum, namety, John Burbank, Gov- ernor of Dakota, and Ed Burbank, paymaster in the United States Army, were flooding Nebraska with documents urging that in view of the alarming dis- integration of the repnulican ‘party and the neces- sity of carrying the erection in Indiana this fall, the retirement of Gencral Grant is desirable, and the nomination of Senator Morton at’ Philadelphia, There is no doubt that Morton has had this object in mina for the whole of the past three years, Mr. Blaine, in a mode equally astute, but not so auda- ctous, wants to be recognized at Philadelphia, PENTON’S LITTLE GAME, The Fenton intrigue—it is called by some the Fenton treason—excites much indignation among the New York representatives, The Senator, while here, devoted but little of his time to his own State, but left the Barnet House aud put Rimself in communteation with other parties, His first object was the Davis movement, to which, it is said, he was committed at Washington, together with Senator Tipton. Fenton’s shrewdness soon taught him two facts, First, that he could not hope to exercise a certain control over Davis in the event of the nomination and election of the fat Judge. The strong democratic atmosphere surrounding Davis, and the character of the men who were his prominent supporters, forbade such a hope. Secondly, Fenton soon discovered that Davis had but a poor chance inside the Convertion, notwith- standing the loud noise made for him oatside, ABANDONING DAVIB. Fenton immediately threw the Judge overboard and set to work on his own avconnt to find a candi- date whom he could claim would owe his nomina- tion to the New York Warwick. Tipton, his flidus Achates, ond Waldo Hutchins, his fugleman, sug- gested A BRILLIANT IDEA. The candidates already named wonld destroy each other. After being cast backward and forward like shuttlecocks by the political battledores they would fall to the ground and become nothing but cork ‘and feathers. Tipton und Hutchins would then spring Fenton’s own name on the Convention, and it wonld be accepted with acclamation, Fen- ton, whois more cunning than either, had some misgivings as to his own strength and popuiarity, and, while he would have been only too willing, he would not risk bis fature chance of the Cabinet for such @ desperate ventare. OVERTURES TO COX. 80 he set to work to make overtnres to General Cox’s friends, and agreed to take New York over for Cox on certain considerations and in certain con- tingencies, This is to-day the Fenton programme, DOKSN'! WANT GREELEY, He dors not desire Greeley’s success, and he does not wish anything tocome to New York unless it comes to himself. The reason is obvious. The Cabinent is his present point, and after that the chances of 1876, GRURLEY STILL A PAYORITR. Grecley’s chances, however, still 1 erg Dest of ‘any old candidates, but there séenis to-day a revival in favor of Adama, THB OW10 DRLEGATRS, The Ohio representatives to-day elected the fol- lowing delegates to cast votes in the Liberal Re- publican Convention :— At Large—Stanley, Mathews, of Cincinnatl; Jacob Brinkerhot, of Mansficld; Jobo W.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 3, 1872, At twelvo’o'clock the Convention assembled, i Colonel Grosvenor announced that the Conven- tion should come to order, THE FIRST SPERCH. He said:—As chairman of the Liberai Repnblican State Convention of Missouri, by which this Con- vention was ealled, it is my pleasure, gentlemen, to call you to order. This Convention originated ina single State, and has now embraced representa- tives of the republican party from every State of the Union. (Applause). Nothing can prove more effectually the depth and strength of the public sentiment to which we have appexled than the fact that the call originated so informally. It origi- nated in @ State by no means the largest or most potent in political affairs, and has ted to this Con- vention, acknowledged now by ali to be not only the largest in point of numbers, but the truest rep resentative of popular sentiment, — (Applauée.) Our appeal to the country, it appears, then, was based on correct judgment of the public feeling and the public need. (Appiauge.)

As the President was about to put the question he was interrupted, and his voice was drowned by sudden and vociferous calls for Senator Schurz from ail parts of the hail, which were continued until the gentleman appeared on the front of the platform, when some one darted forward and asked three rousing. cheers for Schurz, which were given with tremendous enthusias u, many delegates leap- ing from their seatsand waving their late |p con- cert with the approving roar of voices that chorused @ weicome to the speaker, Snch was the anxiety to hear him that he was forced to decline in few words of almost peremptory character, Fi pBe AN DEMOSTHENES, Mr. Schur¥ kald :—My fellow citlzens—It is impos. sible for mé to express my gratitude for the cordial manner in whieh you have called me out and re- eéived me, but I fear I shall have to disappoint you now.

MEETING OF THE NEW YORE DELE- GATION. INE: wise NOR Cuscrnnati, Ohio, May 1, 1872, ‘The New York delegation had an interesting and exciting meeting this afternoon, about one hundred and twentytive members being present.

Some of the delegates denied the right of this as- Semblage to so bind the votes of delegates, Others urged that this assemblage wae representative of the people of New York and had the same power to bind) the delegates as original primaries would have to inatruct their choven representatives. ExJudge SmLpmx, of Rochester, presented & strong argument against tying their hands, but he wi bmit to the order of the majority. . (Ap- ir.

(Applause.) A DeLEGATE inguired if Mr. Tonsey had a right to hold the floor to that very indefinite time when Mr, Lloyd should answer hié question. Mr. Tausex said as the genticwan waived an answer he now moved to subetitute the name of Joseph W, Toale for that-of Mr, Lloyd, in order that New York’s entire ajxty-eight votes might be counted for Mr. Greeley. ETHAN ALLEN regretted the motion, because it as- sumed that Mr. Lioyd would disregard dishonor. ably the solenin obligation imposed’ by the instruc- tions voted to-day. He, as a gentieman, if he ac- | cepted appointment as delegate in the presence and full knowledge of those instructions, he was bound by every principle of honor to obey them. Mr. COCHRAN opposed the motion, and urged that, | if Lloyd so desired, he couid not cast his vote against the instructions, and if he did it would not | be received; but, If the contingency provided for should be tiny to arise, releasing the delegation from its obiigation to vote as a unit, of course Mr. jure. Lloyd would be at liberty to vote as he picased. ‘The question being taken the amendment’ was lost—yeas #3, nays not counted, By aathority of | Henry (.

REUNION AND REFORM CONVENTION. -——-4 CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 1, 1872. Mozart Hall, where the Reunion and Reform Con-’ vention held its session, did not fill up rapidly, and when the hour arrived for the opening of the Con- vention there were comparatively few persons present, At twenty minutes after ten o’clock the number had swollen to four or flve hundred. Judge, William B, Caldwell, President of the Ctneinnath Reunion and Reform Association, called the Cony vention to order and nominated Judge J. B, Stallo, of Cincinnatt, for temporary President. Judge Stallo, om appearing upon the stage, was received with considerable applause. He then delivered the following address :— JUDGE STALLO’S SPEECH. While Lam profoundly sensible of the honer yor have conferred upon me by selecting we as the temporary Chairman of this Convention, I approacty the attempt to discharge the duties thus devolved upon me with great diitidence. I very much fear that as reformers who propose to inaugurate the practice of selecting men for the discharge of publid Lrusts with a single regard to their merits, you have made » somewhat inauspicious beginning, for I am... sad deficient in iL the qualifi¢ations, including great physical vigor and # thorongh familiarity with parliamentary usage and roles, without which it is impossible satisfactoril; to preside over your deliberat even for a brief. hour.
