shout told the whole story. Nine-enths Oh tue oni
Convention were impatient for an opportunity
place their feet the solid piahhs vi 'n'O
nlatform and to enter the campaign under
a banner Inscribed with Its ringing no'oo''
when the tumut had little subsidized the Chairman Dc
gan again but was unable to get beyond that magic worn
Cincinnati until the President called the convention W
order and asked that the Chairman be allowed 10 pro
coed As each Of the ~ articles was read, however
the delegates would not be restrained from maeshs
their approval by enthusiastic shouts.
The Chairman of the Committee had been instruct
cd to move the previous question, and 1t was at
this point that Senator Bayard first made Ills protest
The previous question not being debatabe, the roll Oh
the States was called, and number OF the delegaes'
supposng that II the previous question was sustained
no debate would be allowed voted In the negative
Senator Casse1y this and privately suggested 10 the
President an explanation which caused several States
to change their votes to YEA making the total count
653 in favor to 156 against the demand MI burr ac
corded the floor TO Senator Bayard, VINO dehVereu an
able earnest speech against adopting inc Clheiuhau
o'Connor who having Strengthened out every point on
which onnoson had arisen closed with most pathetic
appeal TO the Convention stop at mere Words but
10 Law aside unimportant differences OF OPINION
and come TO the rescue Of the down-trodden ana
afflicted South Strong and earnest as Senator baymu
was had there been any considerable DIVISION III inc
Convention it would have disappeared after TINS re-
markably eloquent and effective reply. but thy minority
WAS very small and the whole Convention had made up
its mind beforehand One two other delegates made
short speeches, and then the roll OF the states was
called. This part Of the proceedings was marKed py
the customary demonstrations. The Chairman OF
the Alabama delegation said, in changing some
of the votes of that state that If they were voting foT Mr.
Greeeys of acceptance Of the CINCINNATI nomlna
tlon the vote Of Alabama would have been solid The
ment that the platform had received GO votes
and that only GO votes had been cast against it, was the
signal for another shout OF delight.
The honor of nominating Mr.. Greeley TO the C0nven-
ton was accorded to the Illinois delegation. No other
candidate was named, and the voting began at once
Some Of the States simply announced their votes,
while the Chairman of Delegations from Others made
appropriate little speeches before doing So missouri
promised for the ticket the largest majority given by any
of the States and Convention and spectators IN the
gallery cheered TO the report. When New-fork was
called and Gov. Hoffman rose to speak the scene was
one Of the widest imaginable enthusiasm. The dele
gates all rose to their feet waved their hats and shouted
until the pe1spiration rolled from them in streams
The scene repeated when at the close Of his speech
he referred 70 the boast of Missouri, and promised Tor
NewYo a larger majority than Missouri would cast
votes for the ticket. Gov. Hoffman seems not to have
consulted Senator Conlng. who has promised the EN-
pire State to Gen. Grant by 10000 majority. The heat
was so intense and the delegates were so much eX-
haused by the time the vote announced that the
enthusiasm fell short Of what had been expected But
there was plenty honest cheering No clique or shouts
paid in postOices in cOnsulsps' hut applause that
came from the heart, and which eyinced determine
ton TO work for the ticket, and TO elect it.
At the back OF the stage Immediately after the nomi
nation was made, drOp-curtain was lowered on which
was representation of the White House. far more APP
propriate than the on horseback armed, booted,
and spurred which was displayed at Philadelphia
The remainder of the proceedings was comparatively
devoid OF interest though the delegates did not Zee
from the house in such indecent haste without waiting
for an adjournment, did the Renominatonists The
States called through for vote for VcePresident,
and the fact that Delaware alone voted for another
diiate than B. Gratz Brown proved The good feeling
that prevailed IN the Convention After the customary
complimentary resolutions the Convention adjourned
