A CHORUS OF DISCORDANT SOUNDS, Coxvetiox Haty, CricaGo, July 8.—The day opens auspiciously for all the purposes of a great convention, held in the heart of July, save that there is amist in the air which may grow into rain, The airis cool and bracing and summer apparel does not burden the person. Crowds began to gather in tie vi- cinity of the great hall, in which the democrat- ic national convention s being held, at an ear- Iyhourin the day, The door tenders and ushers roported for aluty atS o'clock, with people then in waiting to enter and secure their seats, Inside the auditorium however, there was AN APPROACH TO CHAOS, laborers still being engaged in giving the fin- ishing touches. After having been employed during all of the preceding night, thaidhl not desert the main platform where the dacorations «were being hung, to within half an hour of the time announced for onsnlng of the convention,when the workmen quitted the building and the scene was clear. The picture presented was majestic and truly so with its secting of 14,400 auditors, every seat in the vastamphi- theater appeared to be occuvied. 1t i8 con- ceded that in picturesqueness the arrange- ment and dressing of the ball exceeds that of the convention of four weeks ago, THE GREAT VISTA If the old half has boen lost by the placing of the main stago at one side, midway, in- stead of at the extremo ond of the ball,but the arrangement brings the entire audience very much closer to the stage proper and the delogates. The decorations aro not profuse but striking and ploasing to the eye, the national colors predominating. The only retarding feature s the main plat- form which is dwarfod in comparison with the magnificent proportions of tho hall. Tho del- egates are in & siuare immediately fronting thie speakers’ platform on the dead level of the convention hall. Betweon the delogates wnd the platform are the quarters assigued the press represcntatives, which is provided with tables in raising tiers, affording these workers the wost complate view imaginablo of any in- cident Itkely tobe provoked during the ses- sions. To the right and left of the delegates are the SEATS FOR THE SPECTATORS, sloping upward easily to a point thirty fect from the floor level. The only additional word to be offerea in the way of description is that the lighting of the vast hall is complete, being flanked and crowned with great windows which pour their flood of light upon every portion of the auditorium, even with a dull, leaden sky overhead. At 11:30 the scarlet coated band of the First Tlinois regiment took a position above the speaker’s platform, and goon burat forth with o national air which proved to be the signal for the asrival of the delegates. I'rom that moment the crowd streamed in without ceas- ing until at noon hour, when the hall had its full complement of people. THR KELLEY REVOLT, The breach in the rauks of the New York delegation, as indicatsd in these dispatches last night, is being used as a_very effective wexpon by the opponents of Mr. Cloveland, and there is exerything to indica o that the southern delegates will turn toward Bayard or McDonald, and to this end those who have been startled at sizo, and character of the Cleveland movement are now working, In- diana is being urged to stand by the favorite, and not to be tempted from their present line of on by a vice-presidential offer. Speaker Carlisle arrived from Washington this morning and goes to swell the active force of revenue reformers now on the ground, The committee on resolutions is generally re- garded as having & majority for A CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM, It contains, however, extremists of both vices and & number whose position has not been clearly defined. In any action of the committee there will bo a majority and a mi- nority report and it is now believed that the subject may have to be fought out on the floor of the convention. Another of the thines which now appear certain to occur is a fight in the convention over the unitrule and notwith- standing the claims made yesterday by the Tammany portion the Cleveland people do clare thay are ready for this contost also, and will defeat it by » handsome majority, THR APPROACH OF THE HOUR for the assembly of the convention was marked by the arrival of the delegates inlarge bodies and a great crush of people at the door- way, whieh provoked confusion, The arrival of the Califormia delegation carrying a banner at their head, provoked the first ont burst of enthusiasm in the body of the audience and the cheering was hearty, The presence of the distinguiched leaders among the delegates did not appear to be caught by the crowd and there was no applaus to mark their aerival, This held true until the familiar fig ire of Scnator Thurman, of Ohio, was discerned when a cheer arose which awelled invo ar as the audi- ence came to know the occasion of the ap- plandin While the excitement waa at its lluight- Califors delegate, named M. T. Thompson, addressing the chairman who ' was not yet in his place, and said: ““The Califor- nia (‘nlv,{nthm, after traveling 2500 miles catch- o8 its flrst glimpse of paradise in the person of Allan G, Thurman, ef Ohio,” Soon afterward when the band struck up RN there was another great shout proceeding from the southern delegations originally, and as the import of the applause was understood it was taken up by the audience. Among the U. S. Senators present, either as delegates, alternates or simplo spectators, were Hampton, Vance, Beck, Williams, Me- Pherson, Farlay, Voorhes, Pendleton, Jone: of Fla., Ramson, Lamar; Jones and Call, CALLED 10 ORDER, At 10:40 Chicago time convention was called to order by ex-Senator Barnum, chy an of the national democratic committe Prayer was offered by Rev. D. C. Murgeard, of the Northwestern theolegical seminary, Ho prayed for *“a blessing on this great assombly of representative citizens; that they should ba endowed plentifully with that wisdom which is first pure, then peaceablo and_ gentle and easy to be entreated; that nothing should be done through strife or vain jealousy, but that they should be filled with thath charity which is not puffed up and doth not behave itself unseemingly.” &Iu]nn\ od that their deliberations would be guarded to such conclusions that would best promote the glory of God and the welfara of the nation. BARNUM ON HARMON The chairman said: Gentlemen of the con- vention, harmony seems to be the sentiment of the convention. Every ome here seems saturated with a desire and determination to nominate a ticket for president and vice president, which will be satisfactory to the north and to the south, to the east and the west; nay more, a ticket that will harmo- nize the democracy throughout the union and insure victory in November, Harmony pro- vailed in the deliberttions of the national committee. a temrmrnr{ chairman in the interest of any candidnte, but on the contrary one who shall preside over the deliberations of this convention with absolute impartiality, In that spirit, and to that end, T have been direct- ed by the unanimous vote of the national com- mittee to name the HON, RICHARD B, HUBBARD, of Texas, for temporary chairman of the con- vention, cction of Hon., R. B, ard for tempor chair- man will say contrary, no. The Hon R. B.

MIt, HUBBARD, in taking the chair, gave thanks for the honor. Aorie him;"3.d which he accepted mnot as a tribute to himself, but as a compliment to the great state from which he came—n state which was absolutely cosmopolitan in every fibre, The democratic party in all its elements was the same as it was when founded by framers of the constitution nearly three-q ters of a century ago, Men died us the leaves in autumn, but thé principles underlying liberty and self-government were eternal, and the principles that underhio the democratic party could not perish from the carth, although their authors might cease to be. [Applause.] THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY lie said, was as much a party organized for ag- grossive war as_when \ictory berched upon its banners, The democratic party now had the house of representatives, and would have the senate but for treason inthe senate cham- ber itsclf. (Cheers). It would have the pres- idency, too, but for the hands of robbers, who struck down the expressed will of the people by means of perjury, bribery avd corruption, The presidency had been stolen from the dem ocrat ty, by men uttering falschoods through palo Jips and chattering tecth. Some of the men who had participated in the crime had passed “beyond the river,” there to give an account of their stewardship. That STEALING OF THE PRESIDENCY wasthe greatest crime in the national history, The great leaders of the party (Tilden an Hendricks) with the grit which becomg heroic statesmen and patriots, had submntted with the conrage of men who love their country better than self and power. [Cheers.] The democratic party now would work a reform, and should pit forward candidates whose names would be in_themselves a platform, [Cheers.] It wanted a platform, too, that would sp in no doubtful tones or as a del phic oracle, It should declare cor ruption in the government, agai enor mity of the civil service, oy called depurtment of justice ainst the abuses of the postal service, inst robbery in high places that the burdeas of the government shall be based equally and equitably on _all classes of the people, and that the hundred millions of surplus revenue shall not be al- lowed to accumulat Harmony and conciliation should rnle your coun "here never was a time in the his tory of the democratic party when THE ENEMY INVITES THE VICTOR The great and unnumbered hosts of ed men of the republican party are rd in the distance—in New Eogland, in New York, on fhe lakes aud in the west and everywhere; and whils the democratic party should not deviate one iota from the painciplis of its party, it should with open_arms say to these mon —hundreds of thousands, Godgrant there ma ““here, here ix the pirty of the mstitution and the unmon—that loves our ommon country: come hither and go with us for honest rule and honest government.” omelusion he urged thit whatever candi- werenominated, ~hould be supported ally, declaring that he would not so support them fwould not be & good democrat and hardly » patriot. |[Appiause.| THE UNIT RULE, THE CONVENTION DECLARES FOIL IT, The rest of the tewporary organization having then been aunounced, Mr, Smalley, of a8 now.

[“Hi! Hi!” and “Oh!” Oh! " and hisses from the gal- it nia, made a point of or- der that the discussion was notin_order pend- ing the temporary organization of the conven tion, but the point was overruled by the ch man.

He hoped that this convention would a THE OLD DEMOCRATIC MOTTO, “Let every man speak his sentiments and vote his sentiments,” then whatever senti- ment prevails should be slow tointerfers with the power thestates have over their dele- gates, The federal constitution provided that votes for president should be by states, and that the voice of the state should be obeyed by its electors, The same attempt that was made now had been made in the republican convention of 1880 in favor of GGeneral Grant, but had beev defeated. He admitted that the vention of New York had adopted a n in favor of the unit rule, and he had not opposed it because he belfeved the choice of the majority would be what it was not to-day, (Laughter.) The fact still r mains that whatever was done in the New York state convention could not control the action of the national democratic convention, There was no power in the convention that could make a reporting recretary place a lie in the minutes of the convention and FALSIFY ITS PROC 1f the chairman of the deley noounced twenty-four of his colleag ng for a certain candidate for whom they already an- nounced their intention not to vote, the secretary so reported them, he and his colleagues would be reported as ectting in a form which their lips de d, and that would by outrage on free speech., neral Clunie, of California, said his dele gation had come all the way from California to vote for the greatest political reformer of the age, Samuel J, Tilden. ng to the (qnestion ab issue tion from New York had been elested by districts, and at large, and it would be an outrage on_the minority not to permit them to vote sccocding to the wishes of their constituents, In the name of justice, decency and fair dealing, he called upon the convention to perm it the dis- trict delegates to vote in accordance with the OMAHA, NEB., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY of the convention in favor of Mr. Grady's proposition.

It was against that, they (the Kelly men) protested, [Cheeers. | sod they, too, s which pormitted MR, FELLOWS pro ded with his argument. A1l that the majority of the New York dolegates desired was to do what theirstate had instructed them to do—express their sentiments in a certain prescribed form, The convention should not take away that right. It was a right dear to the stato of New York: If she wera stripped of that rivht she would feel degraded and dis: honored. He de: ed [ironically] that M, aud himself were in tonder symy, with each other.

When those names were presented, the convention of the state of New York elected us delegates and without that action we could have had no authority. No gentlemen of tho minovity here can contend, for one monient, that if the convention had regrettod those names, vo them down, that v of the names thus sented would have had any business in this convention, It was only the action of the convention of the state of New York that gave to its delegatos any authority here.

SUMMING UP THE SITUATION, CLEVELAND'S SUCORSS VERY PEOMISING, Special Dispatch to Tz B CHicAGo, July 8.—The anticipated fight be- tween the Cleveland forces and the opposition broke out soon after opening of the conven- tion. It was precipatated by & resolution in- troduced by Senator Cirady, of New York, John Kelly’s licutenant, that the unit rule be broken, If this rule, making it imperative upon the states to vote as o unit as the major- ity of the delogations directed, is observed, (‘ja ind’s nomination is an almost foregone conclusion. But if the rule is broken snd the delegates votes as they choose individually, a long and bitter fight will probably result, = As the case now stands, Cleveland has a lm\i rity of the vote of the delegates, but it will take two thirds of them to nominate him. The situation still is, Cleveland against the field.
