 Charles S. Strongfellow, of Virginia, sec
 onded the nomination of Judge Field. He said he had been in peace and in war 8 de- l fender of the Constitution to which Virginia contributed, informing the Republicans that the South was still fighting against every \ assault that would seem to subvert the right 1 of self government. John w. Daniels also l of Virginia seconded Hancocks nomination. He eulogized at length the record of Han cock and his respect for civil law when once | the war was closed and cited his deeds in be- l half of the South. The nomination of Han cock would mean an aggressive campaign, l and the cheers of the boys in blue and the boys in gray would be joined in one national I anthem
 l J. H. Good, of West Virginia seconded 1 the nomination of Thurman. He said West ! Virginia could not be forgetful of her bene- factor. In the days of her political adversi- I ty she raised her voice for help and the re- ! sponse came back, s'We are coming" It was the voice of Ohio an9 Ohio came to the rescue led by the noblest soldier of all the | nation. He stood where others feared to 1 stand and drove the dragon from his den. ] The Chair then directed the clerk to re- port to the convention the names of the | nominees The first outbreak was over the calling of Hendricks name but it was over 1 shadowed by the tumult that followed Hancocks name, when two-thirds of the dele- gates shouted for ten minutes. MT. Brecken- l ridge, of Kentucky, moved that they proceed ! to ballot MT. Hoadley, of Ohio, moved ] that the convention adjourn till 10 a. m. to- morrow. MT. Breckenridge said they should keep at work, as there was no need for post ponement. Let us have one ballot; then we can adjourn. Our platform can be presented ! and we can go on with our work. scene of confusion ensued, amidst which the motion to adjourn was put. The galleries joined in voting no. The Chair said he would not de- eide, he would not recognize the miscella- neous and outcries of the galleries. The roll of States was ordered called and resulted, 3171 yeas and 3953 nays. The Thurman and Hendricks States voted to adjourn, and the Hancock and Bayard States opposed. The announcement of the vote was received with cheers and the motion to pro- ceed to ballot carried. It was then 5:2O p. m The roll call was at once begun. Californias two votes for Seymour were faintly applauded. Colorado cast five of her votes for Loveland and Connecticut brought Payne into the field, giving him two. Iowa
 brought out Senator Mcdonald, giving him
 three votes, and Kansas brought out Gen
 eral Ewing, giving him ten. Kentucky cast
 two of her votes for Tilden. This action was greeted with outburst of applause
 and huge attempt to break the columns of
 the other candidates Mir. Scott of Iowa,
 said that if the insult was repeated by the
 galleries, he should move that they be cleared. The roll call was finally resumed.
 The solid votes of Louisiana and Maine for Hancock awakened more applause. Michigan created much amusement by giving her vote in a scattering manner, and brought two new candidates out, George B. Lathrop of Mich igan, and General Mcclellan, each of whom
 got one vote. Tilden got one vote in Missis- sippi, seven in Missouri and three in Nebras- lya New caV one 0f har tn traditional candidate, Joel Parker North Carolina brought out new candidate in the person of Judge J. s. Black, whom she gave one vote. Pennsylvania cast one vote for H. J. Jewett Little Rhode Island gave one of her votes to English. of Connecticut, making the nineteenth candidate in the field. MT. Breckenridge after the vote announced, moved to adjourn until 10 a. m. tomorrow, which was carried and the convention ad- journed.
 The ballot was announced Black 1, Sey- mour s, Mcclellan ?, Morrison 62, Randall 3, Lathrop 1, Tilden 38, Hendricks 494, Bayard 1634 Thurman 6S4, Payne S1, Field 65, Hancock I'll, Jewett 1, Parker l. Ewing 10, Mcdonald 3, Loveland 5, English 1. Neces- sary to choice 492.
 On the first ballot tomorrow Maryland will vote for Bayard as to-day. Indiana will vote | for Hendricks as to-day. Minnesota will vote for Hancock as to-day. Kansas will change her ten votes from Ewing to Hancock. Ken l lucky is undecided, but will probably cast seven for Tilden and the remaining seven | teen votes will be largely for Hancock. The | ten votes which Wisconsin cast for Morrison will be cast for other candidates tomorrow. 1 The State is very much divided, but if the | leading Democratic States of the North unite ! on Hancock Wisconsin will join.
 The committee on resolutions met this af- l ternoon at their rooms in the rear of the stage and received the report of the sub ! committee appointed to prepare platform l to be offered for adoption by the convention This in substance reaffirms the blanks of the l platform of '76, together with an additional one expressive of respect and confidence in I Tilden for his struggle with the corruptions I and subversions of civil liberty perpetrated ! by the Republican party, and protests against l the great fraud of '76. The following are substantially the features of the platform as reported A decided hard money plank (even the silver money men were de- feated in the meeting), emphatic condemna- tion of the presidential fraud of '76, and call ing the attention of the country to the great danger to free institutions by such crime, l firm declaration in favor of local self gov ernment, eternal adhesion to the old time Democratic principles of Jackson and Jeffer- son, under which the Union be sustained l and the interests of the entire people guard ed declaration in favor of tariff reform and suppression of the present unjust custom | house duties, plank against Chinese immi-
 
 | immigration, strong declaration against rail l road subsidies and land grants to railroads ] and other monopolies, sand declaration that 1 public lands be reserved for actual settlers, plank in favor of real and thorough civil re- 1 form, a declaration of respect for and conf dence in the lofty patriotism and noble self 1 abnegation of Tilden in the withdrawing l his name as a candidate from be- fore the convention, and thus offering himself sacrifice to the great principles of | unity of the Democratic party. For this | forgetfulness of self he deserves the pro- found gratitude of the Democracy of the whole Union. The report will be presented | to the convention the first thing in the l morning. and after action on it the conven- | ton will again ballot, and it is expected a nomination will be made in good time. The Vice President question will be quickly settled and the convention will probably ad- iourn soon enough for the delegates to leave by the evening trains.
 One of the rumors circulated this evening is that Tilden has actual control of more than ] une-third of the members of the convention and will be enabled to prevent the nomina- tion of any other candidate except one of his choice. This was not manifest in the ballot to-day, but strong color is given to it by the fact that men are making tours of the delegation parlors this evening offering to bet $1OO to $2O that Tilden will carry New York, $1OO to $5O that he will carry Indiana,
 
 by SO large vote as to leave no room for doubt in the electoral college, and even money that he can carry New Jersey Connecticut and Maine. It is said that Tilden has private wire from his house to the convention hall and that he is in constant communication with his mana gers and is fully informed as to the progress of events. The Tammany Hall men have put on Hancock badges and do not com plain at being refused seats in the conven- ton. This evening they marched to Gov
 ernor Hubbard's headquarters and gave him
 serenade to show their appreciation of his
 assistance in presenting their claims 1 before the convention. MT. Hoskins spoke in favor of Tammany and the Governor re- piled
 The New York delegation met at 9 o'clock in their rooms at the Grand Hotel and held a session which lasted till after midnight. Much of the time was devoted to consultation with
 subcommittee from the Ohio delegation. The one point raised was whether New York should or should not continue to support Payne while he remained with the support of the delegation from his own State New York
