the question was taken the delegates should RISE
The Chairman, not quite understanding the propo-
siton got the Convention it's feet before putting
the question. This impaired the effect of the per-
Torrance somewhat, but had the advantage Of max
ing sure thing of getting the delegates up in time
which in Convention 80 tired as this was some
thing worth while. All the nominations went
through without jar or ripple. and for wonder,
there was not single negative vote against
any one of them when the Nays were
called This business being over, there re-
manned nothing TO do but to adopt the resolutions
and adjourn. But there was feeling OF hesitation
ON the part of the managers at receiving the report
Of the Committee on Resolutions at 30 early an
bonr II afforded time for discussion and amend
- msnt and this was the thing they did not want.
p Moreovar. nobody knew but that some indiscreet
delevate might throw frebrand into this harmoni-
- ous body in the shape Of Third Term resolution
The policy was to off all possibility OF such an
interruption by firing out the delegates with
snAeobes or some other such nonsense till it should
be too late TO suggest any alterations or additions
TO the platform aud rush 1T through without word
With this view, Senator Conkling had been sent Tor
to address the Convention and occupy the time
He not being on hand, Gen. Woodford was
pressed into the service and made short speech
Senator Conkling's speech was very elaborate
tration, clarifying President Grant, and magnify
ing the mission of the party. His appearance upon
the stage was greeted with by far the heartiest APP
plause of the day. The drift and purpose OF the
speech were unmistakable. Ii was for Inird
Term for Grant all through and could have had no
other object than to prepare the party ioi 10
event. The resolutions which were read suose-
oueptlv made no reference. however remote, 70 tne
Third Term question: except so far as, by praise OF
the President they paved the way for such an az
tempt when the time comes. In this regard tne
ohice-holders who visbly and palpably controueu
The whole business from beginning to end, and to
whose MANAGEMENT the harmony and smoothness
of the proceedings mainly due, can
COMMIT upon substantial victory. They
have not only STAYED off all open opposition to
Third Term but have sent the delegates home filled
ND with Mr. Conklng's special pleading and piausi-
BILE presentation of the arguments for It. IL mas
been for them good days work. There seems 10
be. also entire confidence in the success OF the
ticket aud the party, which will be 80 much addi-
tional prestige for the Third Term movement. After
the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. Isaac H. Bailey
took the platform and began the reading OF an ad-
dress, which gradually but surely cleared the hail.
Some body STAYED around with Mr. Bailey to lock
up the building when he got through, but do not
learn who he was and so cannot say whether he and
Mr. Bailey are there yet or not.

1890 when that apostle OF Democracy, who had been
placed In the Presidential chair James Buchanan pro-
claimed 70 these United States, when already eight
states had set up an independent government that
while he regretted the doctrine of State Rgnts had been
pushed beyond its true limits, and that tnere was
no right of secession, yet unfortunately there
was no power within Federal Government TO coerce
A sovereign State. And Samuel j. Tden aud the men
who met with him Syracuse approved that message
