A delegate moved that the conven-
ton should not adjourn until the nomi-
nations of candidates for President and
Vice-President We're completed. The
motion was received with cheers.
The President (SOtO UOce) asked dele
gate, who was close to the rOstrum, to
withdraw that motion, inasmuch as
the convention would be likely to do so
any how.
Amid much excitement and eonfu-
sion, the Secretary again began to call
the States. As the call proceeded, and
one State after another increased the
votes for Greeley, there were wild cheers
and shouting, which interrupted the
proceedings. When the announcement
was made that Indiana gave nineteen
for Greeley it was received with over
whelming cheers, the delegation from
that State and many others rising to
their feet and swinging their hats with
the greatest enthusiasm

bull 10, DAVIS 6, Chase 80, Palmer l.
Before the vote was formally announce
ed, Minnesota changed nine from Trum-

changed their votes, but there was
such great confusion and noise that it
was impossible for the reporters to hear.
Mcclure changed Pennsylvania to fif-
ty for Greeley and six for Davis. Great
cheers. Indiana changed twenty-seven
for Adams. A stampede of changes to
Greeley here occurred, bnt the noise and
confusion was so great it was impossible
to hear the details. Illinois changed
solid to Greeley, except one delegate,
who insisted on his vote for Trumbull.
Before vote was announced the

States, as on the sixth ballot Greeley
gained six in Georgia, in Indiana nine.

be declared unanimous but the motion
was lost as there were many noes.

changes which had occurred without re-
cording the States in which they oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Cochrane inquired if Mr.. Greeley
had a majority.
The Chair said yes, and therefore he
was nominated as the candidate for the
Presidency by this convention.
NOMINATION. FOR vICEPRESKDEHT
The next order of business was the
nomination of a candidate for Vice
President. Illinois and Ohio asked the

vention to order, again reminded the
delegates that they were to select one
from each delegation as a member OF
the Liberal Republican Executive Com
mittee.

he was requested to inquire whether
the name of Trumbull was before the
convention as a candidate for Vice
President.
Governor Koerner, of Illinois, re-
piled that Trumbull would not consent
to become a candidate for that office
