All came to the fray with ardent antlcipa-
t;ons of exciting work 1t seemed as though the
ctv was turning out en- for this last tourna-
ment of their labors. The buildings were decKed

THE PLATFORM AT LAST.
But the suspense is forgotten when the platform
is announced and Senator Schurz reveals the reso-
lutiops Each declaration of this document, as 1t
fell distinctly from the Senator's lip, won the ap-
prevail aud ringing applause of the Convention. Inc
reception of the platform indicated the spirit ana
purpose of this great movement. The rapturous APP
piaIse that welcomed the ringing notes on Amnesty,
Civil Service Reform, the Tariff proviso, and the
One-term plank, showed the handspring OF the
whole Liberal movement. Every part received an
honest approval and when the brief declaration was
finished, the Convention arose en- to affirm its
adoption. One delegate enthusiastically styled the
instrument the new Declaration of Independence"
In less than half an hour the Convention had come
together and built platform upon which the most
patriotic citizen of the country might be proud to
stand; but the great contest was now to begin.
BEGINNING THE BALLOTING.
The decks were cleared, and the work of balloting
begun. The crowded ranks drew up closer; the
restless delegates subsidized to the stricest attention.
and in perfect and almost painful Stiffness Sena-
tor Schurz called for the roll and the formal ballots
bearing the names of Adams, Trumbull. Davis,
Greeley, Crate Brown. Curtin, Palmer, and Chase,
are scattered in the faces of the journalists and the
delegates near the stage who make an eager
scramble for the corrected slips Coming
in alphabetical order. Alabama divides her prefer
ences &C. in silence Arkansas records her equally
diverse CHOICE. The operation is by means a
simple one, and the perpexed Secretary is again
and again obliged to roar out the results, as some
favorite shoots ahead by the united vote Of a State.
The proceedings are suspended to afford him the
cheers then the rather mOnotOnous work contin-
ues The plurality for Charles f. Adams,
on the first ballot, aroused his friends
10 the most unbounded enthusiasm, when
of her delegation, the Hon. Edward Atkinson,
nOunces the bulk of her vote for Adams. and their
sympathizing neighbor across the aisle Ohio, arises
TO cheer the vote. Great surprise was expressed at
the result of the ballot, certain candidates who
stood strong in rumOr coming out with but COM
paratively small vote. Mr. Trumbulls strength,
notwithstanding his understood indifference,
prised and gratifed all.
With unnpaired ardoT the work is repeated and
again repeated, little change being made in the
State preferences the largest clingiDg pertinacously
TO their first choice. The appearance of Gov. Gratz
Brown on the stage hOwcVe stops for the time the
work Of ballotng, and the roll is relieved of one
name when he has concluded a brief address TO the
delegates, Withdrawing in favor of Mr. Greeley.
THE EXCITEMENT INCREASING.

probation. There a general request for time
to consult by the different delegations,
and pending their return, the roll went
on for new ballot. The withdrawal
of Missouri for consultation took the Chairman
Senator Schurz-from presiding, and in his place,
the Hon. George w. Julian took the chair as Fist
Vice-PIesdent. This seemed the time for the
Woman Suffrage representatives, and, while the
count was rapidly going on, Miss Anthony was sud
denly discovered leaning appealingly on the arm of
