one of intense excitement and almost uneX-
ampled heat. At night, though it is OF
course known that the great work is over,
there is still such furry and noise that the
events OF the day, except where conSpicu-
ously marked, cannot very readily be res
called to mind.
| DOUBTS AND FEARS.
When the Convention met there were
many ardent friends of Tilden who feared
that the brasSy opposition Of the Tammany
men had weakened his strength.
Tilden's leaders, however, never allowed
themselves to believe that defeat was posi-
| bic, and in nearly all they did showed
courage, determination, and ability. Their
| organization was excellent; and the on
slaughts OF their adverSaries wherever made
were quietly met, and, as general thing,
very effectually disposed Of.
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.
The platform reported from Judge Mere
dith's committee met with no more oppos-
ton than was anticipated. While it was
under consideration the interest aroused
was very great, and at times uncomfortable
excitement took possession OF the Conven-
ton, requiring suspension Of the proceed
ings.
The platform is admitted to be a sound
and strong one. TllGcn's most active sup
porters regard it as highly favorable, and
are satisfied that upon it The Great Re-
former can stand with the best prospects Of
victory.
nany OF the nominating speeches We're
fine, and applause invariably followed from
the interest represented by the speaker.
Hon. Thomas s. Flournoy presented the
views OF the Virginia delegation and the
will OF the Democratic people in seconding
l.Tilden's nomination. On the first ballot OF
the 1888 votes cast Tildcn received 403!,
whereas 492 were necessary to 4 choice. On
the second ballot Tilden had $50, and the
result was received with enthusiastic de-
monstrations OF applause.
