and, pending the choice of another
man, adjournment was taken till this
morning.
10 A. M.-The sky is overcast and
the temperature sultry. The door

delegates are yet seated, and they are
coming in very slowly. The galleries
are only partly filled.

only half filled. The organ and mil

offered by the Rev. DR.. Taylor, OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.

the proceedings by outsiders and
asked the convention to preserve order
at any and sll hazards.
Peckham resumed, and said that the
delegation had received letter from
Mr.. Tilden, IN which he renounced
| himself rs q candidate for nomination.
Knowing him to be honest in purpose
and action, we accept his letter Gs q
renunciation of all claim aud call fol
the candidacy. He now presented the
letter for such action as the convention
desired, but the delegation have
agreed upon smother candidate, and
he named Speaker Randall. Ap.
