National Democratic Convention at Cincin-
natl.
Cincinnati was filled with delegates
and on-lookers to the National Democratic
nominating convention, June 81, preparatory
to the opening of the convention, on Tuesday,
June %. MIR. Tilden and Mr.. Seymour had
each declined u nomination for the Presi-
dency. and their declinations were accepted,
and the question OF nomination was all at sea,
with the seeming preponderance of Mr.. Payne,
of Ohio. The Minnesota delegation reached
Cincinnati on the morning of June 81, and
were quartered at the Burnet House. They
met in the afternoon and organized by elect
ing P. II. Kelly, chairman. For officers of the
convention they made the following selec-
tions: Vice-president, L. L. Baxter; secretary,
L. A. Evans; resolutions, w. W. McNair; Gre
dentials, 81. r. Wells; contested delegations,
H. w. Lam5erton; permanent organization,
J. G. Pierce; rules, J. j., Thornton; member OF
national committee. P. Fl. Kelly. 1t is thought
the Minnesota delegation will probably give
complimentary vote to Hancock on the first
ballot, and then go for Payne. There is large
number of Minnesotians in attendance out
side of the delegation.
