UeClnesddg's Proceedings.

Wednesddy's Proceedings.
Convention called to order at fifteen
minutes past ten, A. NJ, Rev. Halsey,
ID. d., of Chicago, opened with prayer.
Mr.. Wicklitfe, of Kentucky: / de-
sire to offer a resolution, which 1 re-
gard rs a privileged question, in ref
erence to the future existence and the
continuance Of the organization of
this convention. / hope, if it is not q
privilegedquestion, there will be unan-
1mous consent upon it. 1 am satisfied
there can be no exception to it. The
delegations from the West, including
that State, to which i am attached are
of the opinion that circumstances may
occur between this and the fourth of
March that will make it necessary for
the great mass of the democracy of
this country to be reassembled. To
get up new convention is work of
delay and much difRculty-and my OBJ
ject is that the dissolution of this con-
vention shall not be affected by its adj
iournment, after it finishes its labors
to day, but to leave it to the Executive
Committee, at the instance of the de-
mocraay, if any occasion shall require
to convene us at such time and place
as the Executive National Committee
shall designate:
Resolred, That the convention shall
not be dissolved by the adjournment
at the close Of its business, but shall
remain as organized, subject to be
called together at any time and place
that the Executive national Committe
shall designate.
Which resolution was received with
applause and carried unanimously.
The convention after little delay
proceeded to vote by States for a can
didate for the Presidency oftho United
States, the first vote resulting for Geo.
b. Mcclellan, ia; Thos. III. Seymour,
So; Horatio Seymour, IL; Charles
O'Conner, ]; Blank, j votes, cast by
three of the Michigan delegates.
This vote was subsequently changed
by the States to the following result !:
Mcclellan, 202a; Thos. II. Seymour,
23a. Necessary TO a choice, 1909.
The announcement Of the change of
State after State to Mcclellan was
greeted by bursts of applause from all
parts of tho house, but when tho re-
suit of the ballot was announced, the
vast audience surrendered itself to the
wildest.enthusiasm. Shout after shout
from the assembled thousands, ming
ling with the thunders of cannon and
the swelling strains Of music, swept
out from that building. For over fif-
teen minutes the tumultuous applause
continued. Gontlemen upon chairs
swung their hats. Ladies waved their
handkerchicfs. Every one joined in
one grand shout Of JOY, caught up
and echoed back and back again ny

Of 1900 OF 5000, had been sent of to join
