Judge Reagan, of Texas, followed and
said it was supposed among his peo-
pie that the Democratic party could
succe ed at this election with distinct
Democrat, therefore they had come
here to unite with their brethren from
the whole country. In effecting such an
arrangement as will unite the Democrats
with the honest opponents of the admins
tratiOn, it was wisdom, therefore, to take
the Cincinnati platform. Why refuse to
accept the situation and make the best of
it?
Mr.. Barksdalc, of Mississippi, asked if
it was advisable to take separate vote of
each resolution. The chair answered no,
as previous question had been ordered.
Barksdale then asked the unanimous con-
sent of the convention to the division Of
the vote. TCries of no, no. e. a. "
McRae, of Tennessee made frantic eff
forts to obtain the floor, and was finally
recognized by the chair and proceeded
with excited protest against the cutting off
of the debate. Cries of sit down-call the
roll, call the roll. The roll of States was
called on the main question, the adoption
of the platform, which resulted, yeas, 662 !;
nays, 20. At the close of the call, when
Delaware voted no, there were loud APP
plauses. The chair appealed to the cOn-
Vention to treat with respect the vote of
any and every State. A delegate said dis
turbance was in the gallery Before the
vote was announced permission was asked
by the chairman of Alabama to make
an explanation of a change which he de-
sired to make in the record of Alabama's
vote An objection being made the chair
man ruled that while Alabama had q right
to change the vote he could not maintain
the proposition, subsequently, unanimous
consent being accorded, Shorter, of Alaba-
ma, took two minutes to explain that there
were in the pending resolutions some state
mentS rather than declarations of princi-
piles which some of his delegation could
not endorse without an explanation and
without satisfaction. Having said this he
changed Alabama's vote from twelve ayes
and eight nays to twenty ayes. Cheers.
Hoffman, of New York, presented pc
titiOn of fifteen thousand Germans of the
city of New York relative to nomination
of candidate for President. It was sent
to the desk, where it was read by the Secre-
tary. 1t recommends the nomination of
Greeley and Brown and expresses the be-
lief that they will receive the hearty sup
port Of the Germans regardless of past par
ty affection as the best nominations that
can be made. ICheers.]
Ray, of Indiana, offered resolution to
proceed to vote by States for the candida
ties, President and Vice President. Cox,
of New York, offered an amendment pro-
n or hn aal of re
chairman shall state how the delegation
votes and his statement alone shall be

the mover of the original resolution and
the latter was adopted UiUd UOce. Snow

When Hoffman rose to cast the vote of
New York, his delegation was greeted with
three cheers. Order being restored, Hoff-
man disputed Missouri's promise to give
Greeley the largest majority of any State
in the Union, and said New York's major
ity would be larger than Missouri's total
vote. He also expressed his regret that
there had been any division of the vote
here. He knew those who did not vote for
Horace Greeley were acting Conscientious
ly, but he desired to appeal to them. New
York is Democratic State. 1t had more
than four hundred thousand Democratic
votes, and when these were ready to sacri-
flee personal preferences and prejudices on
the altar of the country, he hoped their
brethren elsewhere would do the same.
LGreat cheers.
After the chair announced the result of
the ballot Wallace, of Pennsylvania, took
