New-York tribune., 1868-07-07

nv oorance than on the first day The iron rail-
,sot divides the floor OF the Convention rom tho
o,ators seats had been placed farter from inc paF
ha before and the delegates we're not so closely
cted as on Saturday. More ladies were present. ana
r. vas more interest manifested In the proceedings
% hau though filed its utmost capacity, was not so
,o,onscv hot as on Saturday, the atmosphere Deihg
,emnered by cool breeze admitted through lhe open
indows In the galleries only were fans necessary DuI
,hoo benp filed with the wards of Tammany and the
nral politicians Of the Democracy, this inconvenience
reeompensed to them by glmpses of the great gods
Of the Marty on the below But the galleries, the
most expansive Of any hail in the city, with Tier upon
tier OF seats like the benches Of an immense amphthea
ter and crowded with human beings crushed into one
oonpact mass was both brilliant and impressive To see
the huge multitude surge with enthusiasm in cheering
what they did understand or break down in disgust
An trying TO be jolly the bitter draughs Democracy
IA compelled TO swallow, sight that the Democratic
party can afford only for short season every four
years.
Everybody was aware that Gov Seymour to be
President Of the Convention and consequently everybody
was prepared to cheer usty upon the announcement.
IT happened that when Mr. CymerrepOred the organ
izaton and the temporary officer attempted In his mid
and gentle way announce the Hon. HOratto Seymour
as President the Convention that tremendous burst
of applause greeted the Hon." while "Horatio' fell
dead enough to Mr. Seymour that there is nothing
An nnme whatever the Convention may find in his phi
osophy Then folio wed his address, the principal point
IN which consisted in tha fact that Mr. Seymour carries
the Republican platform in his pocket, cOmmendable
thing for Democrats TO do but very dangerous expert
ment for those who wish die in the Democratic faith
The speech both heavy and long, and but for the
memorial OF Miss Susan b. Anthony on behalf OF the
women Of America its somnoleut qualities might have
affected the Convention the of the day. But Miss
Susan may die in the belief that the Democracy agrees
with her that the little difficulty Of sex IS iusurnountaDe
nnd she probably already that the Convention
II, Tho ixfbW
rural politicians and the pardoned Rebels are quite as
fond of universal laughter Of Universal Amnesty from
the derlsive cheers which greeted her memorial.
It's TO be remarked that while resolutions were intro
duced oomplmenng everybody except Grant and Colfax
al Justify cheered but the Man Of the People When
Andrew johnson pipes the Democracy will not dance.
This Convention treated him with the contempt the whole
people have shown him, and refusing to indorse his
pelIcy passed him by with cold wogls Of compliment
little better than the language Of open scorn
Mr. Biger Of Pennsylvania moved that the Convention
proceed to nominate a candidate for President Of the
United states This what the Convention had assem-
bed 10 do-hs is what the galleries wanted to see DONE
The Convention, however, was not nearly so inpatient
as the multitude and determined to have platform first
and candidate afterwerd It accordingly adjourned 10
Ioclock Then came the getting ont. John Morrissey
stood in an ante-rO0m cOoly tanning himself and occa
sonaly clancug at the Democratic rabbe pouring down
the broad starways. It sight TO do Johns heart
good. The swaying multitude, the uphted hands the
scramble for tickets and the violent Oaths of the dstD
utors Of pasteboard. must have brought back TO MN
some pleasant "reminiscences Of the good old Democratic
days when he was the idol Of the fancy" and dem
god Of "the ring" But why attempt TO describe the
scene1 In Difference to the rural Democratic editors who
were swaying and surgDg with the crowd whose hands
we're uplfted mpOrngy, whose oaths made chorus TO
{he more violent oburgatons Of the Tammany officials
with hands full Of magcthe open Sesame 70 the mui
titude-we may as we'll say il beggars description.
,bo
k called business was more promptly proceeded WIN
than in the morning Though the adournmeM was to le
O'Clock il was near y before anything was done at tho
tneinQ session: but there no delay The first
thing accomplished a splendid farce, performed IN
solame manner that it impossible even TO laugh at
A. This was the reception of delegation from the Sol
diers and Sailors Convention, with memorial to the
Democratic Convention exceedingly long and rghtfuy
stupd First came Sergeant Bates the who carried
the flag ever far without any reason at ALL ana as nc
bore tho banner the platform his jaunty appearance
indicated that he was as much fraud" tbe men who
walk 1000 miles in 1000 hours, even as the Democratic
Convention ITSELF Soon sfterward the soldiers entered
Gems Franklin, slocum, Granger, KLby Smith, Denver
Tam Ewing r. aud Others but the sailors were not TO
be seen We're they half seas over The soldiers OF
rather generals codly received by The multitude
and when galleries attempted 70 cheer them tLey
failed in the attempt. Tom Ewing was called upon for
speech and he failed But he deserved 70 ail Dc
cause he saw the Niger in the wOOd-pe, and nobody
was yet quite sure whether Chase and negro suffrage
would not be accepted by the Democratic Party How
when he called tne Rebel generals sitting Ia the
Convention below by the endoaring name Of brothers
there great shout and having made as nc thought
2 good point be gracefully retired
AThe Job beirg gone through with and the soldiers and
Sailors got rid 6 two hours OF llbusterng followed
The galleries more impatient than ever As the
prospect Of a ballot oOmed Up before their maginatons
bright couutenances were seen alOft, and furious aP
plause followed every that seemed to indicate
the qualification of their wishes. True, the applause ala
not always a the night place. but what OF that II
the should DC stripped for the field and put over
the track for heat in the great Tacef Aud Tor aWhe
II did seem as II there might DC trial Of strength
motion to reconsider the action Of the morning. by
which platform was TO be agreed upon and then
candidate put upon it, was made and move 70
table It by decided vote Then the motion 10 re-
consider passed, the voting by States being nuch
divided for instance the vote Of one state would be
Aye ca Nay Il and the next, Aye l, Nay 61
but the result was conclusive thought the multitude.
But amendments, substitutes, and motions to adjourn
delightfully."- interspersed with debate ana ques-
tOs Of order that the programme could not have been
more diversified II IL had been arranged beforehand
The Committee resolutions not ready TO report;
the Convention not ready nominate Like a small
boy celebrating the Fourth, they afraid TO let of
their hreracker lest the report should kill them and
uut somebody explodes torpedo among them they viii
play with fire but shrink 70 touch tho fuse.
