OF NEW YORK.

GENERAL FRANK P. BLAIR,
OF MIS- sou II 1.
FINAL ADJOURNMENT.


one ever convened In the city Of New York, is now
thing Of the past. Like many other great political
gatherings from which vast amount Of good was
expected In relieving the country from the incubus
or O corrupt government by the presentation Of
men upon whom the great democratic masses ana
the conservatives throughout the country could
thoroughly, heartily and successfully unite it has
proved to be nothing other than fzzle OF the first
magnitude
Yesterday was the nth and last day of the Conven,
tion Between the conclusion Of the proceedings OF
the fourth day and the reassembling Of the Conven
ton at ten O'Clock yesterday morning the city was
rife with specuations as to the ultimate result The
hotels and other headquarters OF the different dele
cations were continually thronged, the barrooms
overnowed and the patience Of the police in main
tanning order on the principal thoroughfares taxed
to Its uttermost But we do not have Democratic
National Conventions every day in the year. and due
allowances were made for the eXuberance OF feeling
on the part Of the delegates and their multitude OF
adherents
1t would be idle to deny that the friends OF Mr.
Horatio Seymour have succeeded in playing deep
game and clever one. Though thousands supposed
on Wednesday night that the Convention had really
determined to bring forth man in whom the entire
conservative element could unite with some show Of
success against the serried. multudinous and finely
tined to awaken to the fact that they
were thoroughly and grievously sold. Many
Of the harder working sincere delegates
also labored under this impression, but ey were
muoh astounded as the masses OF honest democratic
voters and welwishers, whom the action Of the Con-
vention will 30 confuse and demoralize throughout
the entire length and breaith OF the land.
tho headquarters ofthe different delegations were
scenes Of continuous excitement and uproar. Not
only were the delegates themselves deeply engaged
In caucusing but thousands poured into the hotels
from different portions OF the city seeking by host
Of inquiries TO get at the secret object OF this or that
delegation tobe pursued at the next meeting OF the
Convention, which, It was generally expected would
conclude its deliberations.
The Hancock men, encouraged by the heavy bal
ACTING which had been effected in his favor were
quite jubilan his anticipated success while the
adherents OF Pendleton, Hendricks and johnson
were correspondingly depressed But before the
meeting Of the Convention 1t was confidently as
serted that Chase would be nominated at
en- early ballot large number Of heavy
bets were made that he would be the
candidate These predictions were grounded
upon che statement that Mr.. Seymour after
long elaboration with the New York delegates,
had succeeded In convincing them that the Chief
Justice was the only candidate with whom the demo-
Gratis would have particle Of hope for success at the
great contest In November.
al lam convinced that ChiefJustice Chase Is the man
for the emergency. We must nominate him. and he
nan DO elected II he receives the nomination. -
Fhese are said 70 be the words used by
the permanent President OF the Convep.
ton fnow the Presidential candidate OF the
democratic party At any rate the superstition that
the New York delegation would yesterday drop the
name OF Sanford E. Church and vote solid for Chase
was encouraged at every opportunity by the dele.
gates themselves, and also by the majority OF the
Ohio delegation. Even the bets which could have
been made against Chsse's chances with profitable
ODDS were shrewdy permitted to pass by unheeded.
And ct this very time the ''little arrangemenv'
was being entered into by which Ohio with
Pendleton as its chief wire puller, would
st the proper momebf spring the mine which would
destroy the hopes Of the democratic and conservative
masses Of the country, and py the generation of q
sudden enthusiasm lead the majority Of the Conven-
zion into tho endorsement OF candidate whose cleo
zion would be morally impossible.
- The nfh day OF the Convention broke hot and sui
Try with an atmosphere the oppressveness Of which
WAS rather intensified than relieved by the thunder
storm OF the preceding night The fuu and thorough
reports OF the proceedings Of the Convention, as
reported In the columns Of tue NEW YoRK
HBRALD, were eagerly devoured nv the immense
throngs OF strangers In the metropolis az well as y
the community at large. The thousands Of Weary
heads were sooner lifted from the pillow OF sum-
Der than they commenced TO speculate and schema
anew. AZ early az eight O'Clock yesterday nom.
ing the crowds began TO assemble again An
the neighborhood OF Tammany Hail. and by half.
past nine O'Clock Fourteenth street again blocked
up from Third to Fourth avenues. Chase and Han.
cock were still the names most frequent upon the
Ipa of the multitude rw<r.s
A few moments after the opening OF the doors the
great nail OF St. Tammany was once more crammed
70 ts fullest capacity The number OF ladies present
among the spectators was even larger than on the
previous day and upon their fair faces, as well a.
upon the countenanccs OF the sterner SEX could be
easily traced a perceptabe increase Of interest In
the deliberations about TO commence.
The opening prayer was made by the Rev. Mr.,
Plummer and was listened to In reverent silence.
