the CONVENTION AdJ0urnB Till
To-day.
LOUISVILLE, September 4.-Although
the hour OF reassembling had been fixed
at nine o'clock, the delegates drifted in &C
slowly that the Convention was not called
TO order until some minutes past ten
just previous TO this, the unusually excel
lent band in attendance on the sittings Of
the body entered the room, playing
Dixie" It's performance was greeted
with repeated cheers. A medley, com,
posed entirely of national airs, was re-.
ceiyed with vigorous hand clappings.
The Chairman announced that the
Committee on Credentials had not been
able to complete its work, but would do
50 during the day and as soon as possible
A delegate moved that a sergeant at.
arms be appointed. Carried. Mr.. Penn.
ingIon, OF the Police Department, was
appointed.
Mr.. Monahan, OF Ohio, offered a resolu.
ton that d committee OF one from each
State be appointed by the Chair, to be a
National Democratic Committee of the
United States.
G. Chsuncey Burr, of New Jersey, offer.
cd as a substitute, that each delegation
choose two members OF said committee
and the chairman Of each delegation an.
nounce the names as soon as practicable,
Nr. Burr said, in defense OF his substi.
tute, that it was exceedingly needful that
a large Executive Committee should be
chosen. He would not object to three or
four members from each State. The very
best men should be chosen to serve. One
person is too little at such q time as this,
MIR. Monahan accepted the substitute.
A delegate from New York objected
that nothing had been said here about
representing reform on the National Ex.
ecutiVe Committee.
The Chairman said this was Demo-
cratic Convention. Labor Reform was
not before 1t as an issue, and was not a
question for discussion, for or against.
A man who arose to address the Chair
was discovered not to be delegate, and
was squelched
Burrs resolution was adopted.
The following resolution was offered BY
Judge James Lyons, OF Virginia:
ReSolred, That we concur with Mr..
Charles O'Conor in the great PRINCIPLES
announced in mis- letter 10 this Convention,
and admire the delicacy which prompted
the request not to be nominated; but de-
voted like ourselves, as he is, to the an.
cient principles OF the Democratic party,
and united with us in the effort 10 restore
them, We hold him bound to perform his
part in the great contest which we are
about TO wage; and, confident that his
honor and patriotism would not permit
him to refuse 10 do so, we nominate him
as the candidate Of the unpurchased Dem.
ocratic party Of the Union, which We now
represent.
This resolution was received with ire.
mendous enthusiasm, and, on motion, it
was carried by acclamAtion, followed by
cheers for OConOr twice repeated, the
delegates generally rising to their feet and
shouting ut the top Of their voices, wav.
ing their hats and exhibiting every sign
OF demonstrative satisfaction.
Blanton Duncan appealed to the Con.
venton to take vote by States, and said
that some outsiders had voted, as a vote
OF States would show entire unanimity.
Mr.. Burt moved that the nomination
BY reclamation be reConsidered, and q
vote by States be now taken.
During the roll call Geo. Francis Train
arose In the mass OF delegates and be-
gan to make a speech of objection. He
had hardly opened his mouth when there
were loud cries Of "Put him outl Put
him outW He was Immediately hustled
out OF the Convention amid considerable
excitement ana loud demonstrations OF
approval. 1t was stated last night that
Mr.. Train intended TO become a part and
an instrument OF plan 10 break up the
Convention, hence his prompt election.
