The Mcclellan Haen, under the lead of Sunset Cox,
ef Ohio, commenced che gss game carly by moving

form. This motion was PreeiP,stsd BY The attempt
ed Alex Long, Of Coxs State, 10 got hearing or q
RESOLUTION recognizing the doctrine OF States shts.
Shs double meaning of the Platform dssahs6sd Ma
Kong, and he declared his intsntioH rot TO 10
cheated by trickery. This statement woke up the
Mcclellan men, aR6 hencs tho previous question.
At tho moment when the question vss put BY Gov.
seymour, fifty delesatos, mostly Peace men, were
olamOring for tho floor but Asir shouts wore dsro-
0arded, and the previous question carried BY the
5eP Of the outsiders. The sans Aish-headed course
vss pursued in putting the motion TO adopt the
platform a. whole. Not less than nifty delegates,
Sncuding Long and ODDS, Of Ohio, KibbOr, Of Mis-
souri, Ficklin, Of Illinois Dodge. Of Iowa, Wick
Bile, Of Kentucky, and Harris. Of Maryland, were
calling out, "Mr. President" when Gov. Seymour,
On the most hurried manner, put tho question: ard
although on the nays many voices called FOR veto
b. States Gov. Seymour heard nothing, and de-
elsred tho platform adopted.
Then followed the scenes which the telegraph ha.
eoubtlcss graphically depicted. Harris, OF Mary
tasd, showed considerable grit While assaiing Me
srder, altar saying sbsut al lie rad 20 saw One of
Bio objections urged against bis reading the letter
Co General Banks because It vas printed in
= Horace Greeleys TmgUNE,' tnd General Nor
gan, Of Indiana, in replying 10 Harris called him
can ally OF Horace Greeley" When EsITis fin
tshed, the Keystone Clu5;es and thousands Of 9TH
ers outside the Convention, yelled ard shouted
s'Put him out" "Kick him out" so. As he
passed 20 his scat Nsw-York delegate casually re-
marked: "You oughtnt to throw in 9 frsbrand
Harris" Somebody else raid: you're ID
traitorl' when HAMS turned or tho NeW-forfeT--
thinking re made the rsmsrt-and quickly knocked
bin down. The Nsw-Yori,sr rose and tried 10 CRAP
Ole Harris but the latter retired few STEPS and put
lis hand in his vest IS IL TO draw pistol. BY this
ame the police intericred, Asd the incipent TOW
was stopped. As il IL well known about every
ahird man in the Convention is armed, tho conse-
auonces of this small frscas might have been en-
largsd to formidable dimensions. Fortunately, the
police we're promptly on hand.
The victory gained by the Peace men in the a.
eernoon gave them great encouragement and during
khe evening they boosted immensely From The
fact that the name OF Hossso Seymour hsd been
