w. F. Villas of Wisconsin offered a
resolution thanking the people of st.
Louis for their hospitable and kind
treatment.
Gov. Brown offered a resolution that
a committee consisting of the Presi-
dent of the convention and one dele
gate from each State be appointed to
wait upon Governors Tilden and Hen
bricks and inform them of their nom-
ination. The resolution was adopted.
A resolution recommending the re-
peal of the two-thirds rule came up.
Birch of Tennessee moved to lay it
on the table. The motion to lay op
the table was lost by a vote of $50 TO
379.
A resolution recommending the ad-
mission of Territories at the conven-
tion was laid on the table,
The question came up on the adop-
tion of the two-thirds rule resolution,
and Mr.. Wallace of Pennsylvania
called for division of the question.
He was in favor of the part reqviring
future State conventions to instruct
their delegates, but not that portion
which made this convention dictator
to future conventions.
The division was had and the first
was lost.
Senator Kearney of New York said
he was instructed by the delegation
from New York to present to the Pres
ident of the convention the portrait Of
Gov. Tilden now above the chair, and
he would say TO this convention that
he believed Gov. Tilden and Gov. Hen
bricks would sweep the country in
November, and after the 4th of March
next the President would do some
more sweeping. He would sweep the
baggers from the South and the
thieves from the North.
On motion of Mr.. Williams, at 1890
P, NJ. the convention adjourned sine
die.
After the adjournment a portion of
the delegates and spectators remained
in the hall and were addressed by
Hon. G. NJ. Preston of Kentucky and
other speakers.
NEW YORK, June 29.-The Herald
referring to Tilden's nomi-
says: He never held an i'm
portant office till elected Governor of
New York less than three years ago.
He never was in Congress; never held
a position of trust under the federal
He lacks experience,
and yet by his extraordinary capacity
for politics he has distanced all COM
petitors. Tilden's nomination is not,
equivalent to his election.
He is undoubtedly the strongest and
most popular nominee the Democratic
party could have made. The chances
for his carrying New York are doubt
ful. If he wins in this State, he wins
everything; if he loses this State, he
loses everything. With is own party
divided, and the Republicans alive,
adversaries thoroughly united, with
the full influence of federal patronage
exerted against him, and the discour-
aging effect of the probable Republi-
Tilden enters upon the unequal con-
test.
The Herald congratulates the coun-
try on the financial plank of the plat
form of both parties and says we shall
have safe administration and steady
progress towards specie payment and
business prosperity whether Hayes or
Tilden carries off the honors.
The Times says Tilden's nomina-
tion means that the Democrats have
abandoned in advance all hopes of
carrying our State, and place their
sole reliance on the chances of solid
vote of the Southern States, South
Carolina excepted, with the addition
of the votes of the Pacific coast, and
New Jersey, Connecticut and New
York. On this basis they would
have 1913 votes in the Electoral Col
ege. being eight more than a MAORI
ty. Deduct New York from the Dem
ocratic calculation and the majority
is changed into minority. The
Democrats have therefore deliberately
settled on New York as the battle
ground of the campaign, and staked
everything Oh carrying this State. 1t
warns the Republicans not to under
value his strength in New York. His
candidacy forces upon the Republi-
cans campaign of hard, honest and
systematic work, and the necessity of
nominating their best men for State
officers.
The W0rLd eulogizes both the st.
Louis nominees and the platform. 1t
says st. Louis responds to Cincinnati
first by nominating candidate whose
name is symbol of unflinching re-
form on platform which means a
peaceful revolution in the whole spir-
1t and conduct of the Government Of
this country. 1t urges unity among
all conflicting elements of the party.
The Tribune says: The St. Louis
Convention has placed an admirable
candidate on bad platform. 1t was
wise to nominate for President its very
strongest man. His nomination is a
triumph of principle which gave rise
to the Independents in November of
1872, and which every side joins. In
the approaching contest we shall have
