Evan Mishler, Of Berks county, pre-
sented the name of Mr.. Wallace as
Pcnnsylvania's candidate for the per-
manent Presidency OF the Convention,
and it was resolved to give him an
earnest support This was for the pur-
pose Of testing the strength Of Tilden
and Hancock, the result showing that
the latter was "nowhere" after bal
lot was taken.
Following this committee Of five
consisting of Mutchler, of Northamp-
ton; McGowen, Of ofPhiladclphia Pack
or, of Bradford, and johnson and Dun
lap were appointed to suggest the
names Of those to be placed on the Con-
vention Committees on Permanent
Organization, Platform, and Credcn-
tials. A resolution was then offered
that the Chairman be directed TO cast
the vote of the delegation for Han
cock. Mats was the author Of IL; Dill
moved to amend by inserting Hend-
ricks, and McGowen moved to further
amend by inserting the name Of Joel
Parker. After considerable wrang-
ling the resolution was withdrawn
with the consent Of those who had
offered the amendment, and the eau
Gus proceeded to ballot for a choice,
with the above result.
The final proceedings Of the Penn
sylvania delegation was the appoint
ment of committees 10 visit the several
delegations, urge them to cast their
ballots for Pennsylvania's favorite son,
and report at another caucus, to be
held at o'clock to night.
The night session Of the delegation
was of little Importance, the only bu-
siness being the reception Of reports
from the five members authorized TO
suggest the representatives Of Penn
sylvania who should be appointed upon
the Convention committees. The re-
ports were adopted, and Robert Il.
Monaghan was recommended for Vice
President; G. Il. Boyle, Of Fayette,
for Secretary; VIM. V. McGrath, men,
Der of the Committee on Permanent
Organization o. ]. Broadhead, of
Carbon, on Credentials, and Malcolm
Hay, of Pittsburg, on Platform. The
committee which had been authorized
TO work up Hancock sentiment did not
report. They having failed in their
mission, the Tilden panic apparently
sweeping everything before it.
SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
ST. Louis, June 2S.-The committee
on platform sat until ! o'clock this
morning, and then adjourned without
coming to any conclusion. The serious
differences relate entirely TO the finan-
cial plank. While nothing is officially
known, current rumors, well defined,
are that majority favor plank fab
ricated by Mr.. Dorsheimer, Of New
York, which is earnestly opposed by
Western members, especially Mr..
Ewing, of Ohio. Some Of the mem
bers doubt their ability to report at
the morning session, if at all today.
The committee were to re-assemble at
10 o'clock this A. NJ, but had not ad-
journed at twenty minutes of eleven.
The platform is substantially agreed
upon, except the financial question,
but has not been put in torn. No re-
liable synopsis Of il can be had because
Of danger Of changes in the final draft.
Every seat and standing place in the
Convention hall was filled. President
McClernand called the Convention TO
order FIVE minutes after eleven o'clock,
introducing Father Brady, ofSt. Louis,
who offered prayer.
Mr.. Young, Of Georgia, offered res
olution that the Convention indorses
the reform inaugurated by the House
OF Representatives, in cutting down
appropriations, approves their investi-
CATIONS Of fraud and congratulates the
country on bringing public criminals
to Justice. The Chair decided that the
resolution must 60 TO the committee
on the platform.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, offered a
resolution that tho will of the people
for retrenchment, as expressed in the
appropriation bills, is and ought to
be sustained. Referred to the plat
form committee.
Mr.. Villas, of Wisconsin, offered a
resolution confning delegates speeches
to five minutes, except that ten min
utes be allowed for presenting each

Mr.. Kelly, of New York, at the re-
quest OF some New York delegates,

Mr.. Jacobs, of New York, made a
point of order that this was out of or
der. The Chair so decided.
Mr.. McLane, Of Maryland, inquired
the order Of business.
THE PLATFORM WANTED
The Chair. The report Of the com
mittec on resolutions is not yet made.
Mr.. McLane moved that the Con-
vention then proceed at once to bal
lot [Applause.] He said there should
be no attempt by the Convention to
hasten the committee on resolutions
or bring any pressure upon them. But
the Convention had the duty 10 nomi-
nate their candidates as early as possi-
bic, and he thought they should lose
no time in fulfilling that duty.
Mr.. Woodson, Of Missouri, offered as
On amendment that the Convention
will not ballot until after action ON the
report of the committee on resolutions.
He urged that no candidates should be
elected until the platform is adopted.
[Applausc.l He suggested the posi-
bility Of two reports from the commit
tee. lie hoped there would bc har-
