The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-07-01

when by one universal impulse every
person in the hall was on his feet and
the preceding scenes sank into insignifi-
canoe. Up 70 the cedar of the coneave
ceiling went shout that broke against
il like roaring sea against the rocks of
of a cavern. Upon the ends Of canes
and umbrellas hats were tossed, and the
mass Of humanity surged and rocked
like the branches Of q forest whirled in
the sweep of a tornado. The ear was
shocked by the terrific sound that came
pouring down from the sensitive walls
like the clear peal of thunder
In the midst of this the band struck
up %Hail Columbia" and Yankee Doc
de- and inspired the insane throng TO
the verge of madness The Americas
and Randall clubs of Philadelphia, who
wore white ties, stood upon the railing
between the delegates and alternates,
and, elevating their hats upon canes,
shouted till they were exhausted. Then
Dixie was given, and the southern
song was saluted with renewed vigOr,
many of the southern delegates elasped
hands and danced to the measure of
the familiar air.
Mr.. Mack, chairman of the Indiana
DELEGATE IN, made his way to the stage,
and moved that the nomination be made
unanimous He said in Indiana the
democrats would this year turn the left
wing OF republicanism, while he relied
upon New York 70 crush the right wing
and the solid south TO sweep away the
center. His speech was received with
great applause
As Mr.. Mack retired from the stand
the handsome and intellectual face OF
Samuel J. Randall, framed in its black
hair arr,aaraI bahfuI him Tho
instantly shouted his name and thun-
dered with applause, during which Mr..
Randall was escorted forward and stood
with impressive calmness, waiting to
be heard. His voice, heard for the first
time in the convention, penetrated to
every nook of the vast auditorium, and
his ringing praise of the conventions
choice was received with deafening
cheers. When he predicted that Penn
sylYania would be added TO the demo-
cratic column, another wild scene of re-
jOicing interrupted him, and on his de-
liberate utterance that if the people rat
flied the choice Hancock would be inau-
gurated, decided sensation was pro-
duced.
Then followed Senator Wallace, of
Pennsylvania. Randalfs rival, and Gen.
Hampton, who said that in behalf of
the solid south once arrayed in arms
against Hancock he would now PROM
Use a solid vote under his standard, q
sentiment that aroused immense enthu-
siasm. Judge Hoadly, of Cincinnati,
then appeared and spoke briefly. Sixty
years ago, he said, Jacob Brown had
said to John Miller at Lundy's Lane
when confronting British red-coats !:
'YOu see that battery-take it," Miller
answered: I'm try" He did it. You
have commanded US TO take the Garfield
battery in Ohio-we'u try! There was
great applause.
Then came tremendous shouts for
voorhees,, of Indiana, who rose and
walked to the stage, accompanied by a
roar and swell of applause that made
the building shake. II was n great
ovation. The president could not OBJ
tain order except from the delegates, to
whom he put the question, should the
nomination, as seconded by Mr. Mack,
of Indiana, be made unanimous. There
was a roar of ayes. Immediately as
Senator VOORHEES, stepped to the stand
the band struck up 'HDixie," the con-
vention rose to its feet, the banners
were waved alOft. The Americas Club
standard with an oil painting of General
Hancock, was brought up and waved
before the chairman, while from the
rear of the hall an escort brought up the
transparency of the Randall Associa-
ton, upon the back of which had been
hurriedly painted the inscription:
