cheers were given for Horace Greeley.
as NeWYork was called, the entire dele
CATION rose, with Gov. Hoffman at their
head, and for moment the convention was
hushed and profound silence reigned. Then
the convention rose, with three ringing
cheers for New York followed by three
more for Coy. Hoffman,. The Governor
attempted to speak, but the applause at
once was renewed in the gallery quarter of
the house. Cheer followed cheer, and the
galleries rose, the audience waving their
hands and handkerchief, while enthusiasm
became irrep,essible. After three attempts
to .be heard, Gov. Hoffman began. He
disputed n1issouri's promise to give Greeley
the largest majority of any State. He said
New forks majority would be larger than
Missouri's total vote. He also expressed
his regret that there had been any division
of vote here. He knew those who did not
vote fo- Horace Greeley were acting con-
scientiously, but he desired TO appeal to
| them. New York is a Democratic State !;
| it had more than four hundred thousand
Democratic votes, and these were ready to
sacrifice personal preferences and pteju-
dices on the altar of country. He hoped
these brethren would do the same. [Great
cheers.
Tennessee-Mr. President, in less than a
week after the nomination OF Horace Gree
lev and Gratz Brown at Cincinnati, the
Democracy of Tennessee assembled in Con
vention. There was doubt and hesitation
reigning throughout the Union as to what
should be the course of The Democracy,
when the Tennessee Democracy deriving
inspiration from the tomb Of the Her
mitage, (applause) took the responsibility
of declaring that it was the high
duty of every patriot in the land to support
the Cincinnati ticket. [Good, good.]
Tennessee was the first to clasp the hand
| that was extended at Cincinnati, and it now
to-day warmly repeats that clasp. Tennes-
see, who has given three Presidents to the
| Union, casts her "a votes for Horace Gree
| ley, of New York, and desire to say to the
| gentleman from Missouri, and to the gen.
tleman from New York, that as Tennessee
was the first to put this ball in motion, she
| proposes to enter the contest with them
and give the andidate of this convention a
larger majority than either. Laughter
and applause.l
Pennsylvania Goes Solid.
After the Chair had announced the result
of the ballot, Mr.. Wallace, of Pennsylvania,
| took the platform and was received with
| cheers. He said: In obedience to the di-
vision of public politics in lis State, their
| delegation had cast a part of their vote
against the gentleman who, by the usages
and customs of the Democratic party, is
now its nominee for the Presidency. They
! would yield to this decision and accept the
result which the great high curt of appeal
of the party had decreed. In conclusion,
| by instruction of his delegation, he moved
that the nomination be made unanimous.
