CINCINNATI, June 22.-The Convention
was called to order at 1910 by ex-senator
Barnum, of Connecticut, Chairman of the
National Committee. Prayer was offered
by Rev. Chas. W. Wendte, of the Unitarian
Church, who spoke of the young democ-
racy of America having become q refuge
trodden throughout the world, and the
light and hope of the nations, and prayed
that, with an unfaltering hand, every un-
Just law on the statute books might be
erased, and our political life purged from
every evil that keeps back the people from
the highest virtue and happiness. Above
all, he continued, let there be an end Of all
sectional divisions and strifes. Let every
root Of bitterness, every occasion Of es-
arrangement be removed, and let our whole
people, forgetting the things that are be-
hind, and pressing forward to the things
that are before, be united in heart and
hand in the bonds Of mutual confidence
and good will; help the Convention to
choose for leaders in the approaching and
honorable struggle men Of large wisdom
and experience, Of lofty character and ire
proachable life, true and fearless in the
hour Of trial, yet ardent lovers Of Justice
and peace. Enable the members Of this
Convention to rise above all self-seeking
and personal preferences, and indiscreet
party zeal, into the larger sentiment Of the
public good Of American nationality and
human brotherhood. Let them remember
that he serves his party best who serves his
God. We ask that our action to-day may
be we'll pleasing in the sight Of God.
Mr.. Barnum, by direction Of the Ma
tional Committee, presented the name of
Hon. George Hoadley, Of Ohio, for Tenn
porary Chairman, which wal agreed to.
VIM. l.. Scott and H. D. McHenry were
appointed to conduct Mr.. Hoadley to the
chair. His approach to the platform was
greeted with applause. Mr.. Hoadley pro-
ceeded to address the Committee and the
Convention. and thanked them for their
complimentary action in putting him in
the chair. He pledged himself to the
s~trictest impartiality in the administration
Of the duties appertaining to him. This
was the only adequate method by which he
could testify his gratitude. As Chair
man he should be neither the friend nor

his f~avorite, in whose behalf he may be
both earnest and partisan. He took the
ground that the representatives here were
not delegates Of Congressional districts,
but as representatives Of indestructible
States. He proceeded with some laudation
OF the Democratic party, for which the
Convention would make no new creed,
which had its own vitality, and which
would not depend for its future with the
success Of its ticket, or be crushed out by
its defeat. Their duties here were simply
to declare the party will. The occasion
was one Of great interest and importance.
At st. Louis four years ago, they placed in
nomination two Of the foremost men of the
nation. GGreat applause, and the subse-
quent repetition Of the name OF Samuel ].
Tilden was the occasion of the outburst,
the delegates rising in their seats and cheer
ing and waving fans. They were as GER
tainly elected as were Washington or Mon
roe. Applause. He denounced the Re-
publican party as one of fraud, which
cheated the people of their choice, thus
proving their infdelity to Republican
principles, but il the Democratic party
should again be successful no cunning de-
vice Of dishonest arbitration should rob
them Of the fruits Of their victory. ZAP
plause. Although the Democrats failed
to ~inaugurate their candidates., their cause
was not wholly lost. They defeated the at
tempt to steal the State government Of
Florida, and no trace remained OF the car
pet-baggers In the South except the $170,-
600, 900 of State debts accumulated by
them. as Q burden on tie people. and the
fact that Louisiana has but one rightful
Senator in Congress. Applause.
@. Bebee, Of New York, offered Q resolu-
ton adopting the rules Of the last National
Convention for the government Of this, un-
til otherwise ordered. Adopted.
The roll OF States was called for the ap-
pointment Of the necessary committees.
When New York was reached, John Kelly
arose and was received with both cheers
and misses. The Chairman refused to rec
ognize him, as being out Of order. Great
confusion. Kelly failed to make himself
heard, but 1t Is supposed that he rose to
protest against the selection Of members OF
the committees from the New York dele
The usual preliminary business
was transacted. and the convention ad-
