NEw.yoRK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1880.

out for this conspicuous honor. A tidal wave or
disorder rolled over the thrOng At last the Con-
ventOn quoted down, and began to ballot, with
Mr.. Stockton on the Same footing with the rest.
The result was the election of Stockton by 9S5 out
of the 900 votes, Zulich by s54 votes, Cleveland
by 7O3 votes, with no election for tho fourth man.
Two more ballots we're required to elect Hezekiah
Smith, the Greenback Congressman, a victory
which is to DO set down to Dir. RandOlph's credit.
While the counties were being called for this
vote, and later while the Convention was supposed
to be ratfying the District nominations, the as
semby was in n constant state Of insurrectiOn and
domestic violence in spite of the pathetic appeals OF
tho chairman. But after all, it was, good
humOred riot and it may have beeen nothing but
nm outburst of Democratic harmony In one OF the
lulls mild hammered man offered q resolution
chantyille" Where the is Merchantvillep
rOarcd an irreverent delegate from HudsOn and the
CONVENTION exploded once more, leaving the views
table. ''' ''''''''' ''''' '''' ''''''-
Again delegate with bqndage over his eye,
rights of the Tp elfth Ward had been invaded; but
the Convention was unsympathetic, and the Twelfth
Ward man was jeered down and trampled upon.
AsUDDEN ADJOURNMENT.
As tho vote proceeded, and the uproar swellcd in
volume, the Convention began to Ooze out into the
fresh air. As soon the last District called,
motion to postpone the State Committee business
until the Gubcnatorial Convention was declared
carried and in ordcr to escape from the persistent
Haggerty the house adjourned before any alternate
dclcgatcs-at-large had been appointed, or any pro-
vision made for their appointment.
Nobody seems TO have discovered what 1t all means
Tho HaggGrty resolution turned out to be fling at
I1lden, and on Endorsement OF Parker. All tho
managers are happy because the party was able TO
break away from the time-halOwcd tradition which
seemed to make instruction for Parker" polit-
cal necessity. But Mr.. RandOphs friends have
little to no thankful for,
Stockton was the lion of the day. The delegation
is IN his hands, and his regard for Stockton is more
profound than his regard for Randolph. If any
pickings fall to NcwJersoy Mr. Stockton Is In posi-
ton 10 help himself first. It looks, too as if the
than had been suspected. Randall has friends in
the delegation, so have Jewctt and Bayar1. The
most that can bo affirmed with safety Is that the
delegation Is frec-to dickcr And got Mr Tilden
can have 1t If he wants it badly.
