Indianapolis, Sept. 2. — Tomlinson hall, the scene of many notable conventions. never presented so attractive an appearance as when it was opened shortly before noon today to the National Democratic party—that element which, being dissatisfied with the platform and the nominations of the Chicago convention, met here to promulgate a party platform and to name as their representatives candidates for the presidency and vice presidency of the United States. The hall, which for ordinary assemblages, is termed a great structure, was bountifully and tastefully decorated, prominent over the stage hanging fKWdgßie is \ /I -W*.' SENATOR PALMER, portraits, in gilt frames, of Jefferson. Jack-on, Tilden, Cleveland and others of the recognized leaders who, up to the present time stood, as the staunch idols of a party undivided and indivisabie, according to the claim of politicians and statesmen. The convention hall filled rapidly and in good order. The . personal of the delegates was pleasing, when vieweo through any other than partisan eyes, the representative gold standard men gathered together being attractive in appearance, neat in dress and businesslike in the manner in which they proceeded to get down to the work in hand. But a short time after the Opening of the doors the delegates were all in their seats, and even earlier, the space devoted to spectators was quickly taken up. In personnel Mie attendants are confident that the delegates will take rank with any who have ever had seats in u national convention. Conspicuous 111 the convention are ex-governprs, senators, congressmen, and others whom the Democracy has honored hfghly in the past.

Soon after the brass band had been quieted and a majority of the people holding tickets had been seated, Senator John W.

The rapping was succeeded by a request of Secretary Wilson to call the roll, and after responses thereto ex-Governw Roswell P. Flower of New York was ; O- '

He spoke at lenght on the causes leading up to the present meeting denouncing as undemocratic the vroceedinus of th'* Chicago convention and its results. He , provoked a lusty cheer when predicting | that the east would give encouraging support to the ticket to be mimed by the delegates before him. Succeeding the address the various I committees are to be appointed. But little else will be done today. Tonight a mass meeting is to be held in the hall, and several prominent disciples of the new organization are billed for adX“. PRELIMINARY DOINGS. Incident* Connected With the Arrival of Delegate* and Vhdtor*. Indianapolis, Sept. 2. —- Yesterday afternoon the doubt that possibly the convention might not be well attended began to wear away. State* ao remote as California, Rhode Island, Florida and Texas sent evtdeaoe of their support by the arrival <rf delegates, and all trains following during the afternoon and evening brought additions to the delegates and spectators. The situation, however, did not begin to take on the inspiring, exciting qualities of a political gathering until late in the evening. About 7 o’clock Alabama and Georgia delegates arrived and were escorted from the depot to the Denison House by Weber's band of 20 pieces from Birmingham. This being the first crowd to arrive that had gone to the expense of bringing its music along, the arrival was marked by greater demonstration than anything that had preceded. Its march into the hotel was the first signal for an outburst of applause, which was repeated as the musicians produced “Dixie” to bring out the southern yell and “Yankee Doodle” for a responsive echo from the north and east. Au enthusiast produced three lusty cheers when he prpposed them for “Bragg and Buckner—north and south united,” but there was not a less noisy response when a delegate in another part of the lobby proposed three cheers for Cleveland. New York’s delegation added to the busy scene about the Bates House by arriving 72 strong at about the supper hour. They each wore a badge of bright red and celluloid on which was announced their place of residence and adherence to a sound currency with gold as its basis. Numerous other delegates came iu on night trains, either in groups or singly, and indications at an early hour tliis morning were that the representation would be little different from that elected to attend the convention. The Grand Hotel crowd was hardly so large as at the other leading hostelries last night. Among the throng there were a good many local residents wh are supporting the Chicago convention. A’conset]uence was frequent argument between little groups of men. That any converts were made to either cans, as a result of these discussions was not proclaimed. BRAGG AND BUCKNER. Predominant Feeling That This Will bi the Ticket Named. Indianapolis, Sept. 2. —Senator Vila* has not since his arrival stated what course he will pursue in case the effort is made to nominate him. He, however, declares that Wisconsin is undivid edly for Bragg and intimates that when the Draper time comes he will put arfuietus upon the talk of himself for the place. It looks now as though tht ticket would read Bragg and Buckner southern delegates arriving last night taking kindly to such a combination Florida and Washington are for Grover V " •I.SlIiHt VILAS. Cleveland ami Hi nry Watterson is expected to have a great deal of strength. This has waned, however, since tin talk against hint is based on his pa-t criticisuns of President Cleveland. The Wisconsin delegation- held a meeting,- oV'T which General Bragg presided, and unanimously passed a motion instructing Burr W. Jones of that state-to pjesi-nt Bragg’s name when the roll of .states Was called for the nomination of candidates. General Bragg himself is very '•omplae.eut over the matter and sits m ili< Denison house room re ceivmg ail visitors who may come to I talk, not about himself or his eaint.i ' dacy, bat aboqt.rhe gold Domocratic movement and this convention. ■I General Twcy of New York, tb< j Delawareuielagates, Controller Eclioland others '-tom to the suggestion o.
