pedal TO the Appeal
Sr. LOUIS, June 1S.-Ihe NOrk Of tn,
APPEAL has been indorsed b. tht
DemoeIAtic party Samuel J. Tilden, o
New York, on the second ballot, ws,
this evening nominated fer the Prssi
i dency Of the United States by tee Ma
tioDel Democrats Convention, the result
being declSged amid
- a FURoRB OF EXCITEMENT,
much OF which was manifested hy tI,s
opponents OF the great statesmau Of
New York. The contest was q short
one. The afst ballot, as informe d you
Il you'd in my dispatch of last night,
gave him 409I votes, which, by change
on the part Of Missoud, as increased
eight votes, making Ava against I4Oa for
Hendricks, the next strongest candi-
date. Ga the announcement Of this vote
the greatest excitement ensued, aud for
few moments it was Impossible
for the chairmsn to obtain the order
necessary to proceed with the second
ballot. The friends of Tilden were eager
and earnest, and demonstrations were
made by delegates as well as outsiders,
giving Indications that the strepeth
of the New York governor was
MUCH MORE SOLID
thar these figures indicated; Lu! even
the most enthusiastic will give out. The
sec opd 1 lllot wss ct last called. Ala.
banar the first on the list, respond ID
with fell Vote, which renewed
tbs Excitement, and this wss
fresh fed by The votes of
Arkansas and California, delivered in
rapid succession. When Colorado was
reached, the chairman of that S.a.e de-
clariDg the vote said that the people he
represented regarded tue msjority vote
given In The convention as a plain indi-
cation that Samuel :. Tilden was ent;.
tied 80 tho nomination OF the conven-
ton, and he therefore, by in
structionf, cast the vote OF Colo.
RADIO solid for Mr. TiIden. This had
quiokening effect, speaking, SIS it did,
the conviction of even the most earnest
believers in the two.tairds Itt'e. State
after State followed, until vote equal
20 four hundred and sixty.fi vevo.es was
reached, when the changes commenced.
THE GRAND RESULT
was reached amid such a scene as beg.
gsrs all description. Friends embraced
each other and hand.shakiug became
the orderi congratulations flowed free
Is, ard the bslisf in the SUCCESS of our
ticket became common declaration.
When the excitement had spent itaeJf,
Senator Wallace, Of PennsylVauis, in
behalf of his delegation, moved TO make
the domination unanimous, which was
seconded by New jersey and Tennessee,
Captain Sam Donelson speaking for the
delegation. This was carried with re-
newGl Of the excitement, amid which
repeated cheers were called and given
for Samuel J.. Tilden. w. II. Carol,
Marsh Polk, John Helms, Peytou Smith
and Alfred Caldwell, Of our delegation,
supported Tilden throughout. The Nash
vile american, am authorized in say
ing, will cordially support the nominees
of the convention.
EvERYTHING INDICATES SUCCESS,
and assurances are pouring in that we
shall carry more than votes enough to
elect Hidden President. The Vice. Presi-
dent will be nominated tomorrow, and
the national committee appointed. 1t
is proper should say that the contest
over the financial plank Of the platform
ended as gloriously for Tilden as the
nomination. 1t is q triumph Of con
servatism, striking as it DOS the mean
between the extremes Of hard money
and imitation. The bsst interests OF the
country are provided for, and the patri-
Otism of the masses is relied upon to
give it life in the future legislation of
the country.
