he was in power. They appreciate the ability
OF Thurman and the fitness of all the candi-
dates who had been named, but South Caro-
lima favored Bayard, because they believed
his the strongest name before the Conven-
ton. [Applause.l
The Chairman of the Texas delegation
stated his desire to second the nomination OF
Hancock.
Hubbard of Tennessee took the platform,
as he said. to second the nomination OF the
soldier statesman Hancock. he proceeded
to extol Hancock's conduct in the South,
when in command there, after the war had
closed, when he said that the war was over
and the Constitution revived, and when he
ordered the doors of the bastiles to be opened
and their inmates set free. He urged the
good policy of nominating Hancock, who,
besides being eminently worthy of Demo
cratic support, would unite the party, chal-
lenged the approval of the whole country and
bring the votes, and that was what they
wanted, in Gods name, whether of Demo
Gratis, Republicans, or whoever else. IAp-
plause.
Daniel of Virginia followed. The Conven-
ton was embarrassed by the variety and
brilliancy of the names from which to choose
their nominees Complimenting those whose
names had been presented, he still believed
that the strongest nomination that could be
made here would be that of Hancock [great
applausel not of Pennsylvania only, but
Hancock of the whole United States. ZAP
plause He was the first after the war
! to salute with his stainless sword the majesty
of the civil law. He combatted the
argument that the country was tired of the
rule of the camp and opposed to soldier can
didates, citing the fact that Washington him
self was the typical soldier, and yet the civil
magistrate of this country without a peer
[Applause1 Hancock's nomination would
mean instantaneous and instant aggression.
1t would say to all the land, ave move on
the enemy's works tomorrow" Applause
Nominate Hancock, and they would hear the
music of the cheers of the boys who wore the
blue mingling with those who wore the gray.
Applause
Goode of Virginia next took the platform,
and supported Mr.. Thurman's nomination
Under him there would be no North, South,
East or West, but one Union. [Cries of
"Time, time" in tie face of which Goode
closed.l
ANNOUNCEMENT OF CANDIDATES.
CLo;, than tho Dnr1ec of
! those who were In nomination for President
of the United States. The names of Hen
bricks, Thurman and Hancock were each re-
ceiyed with considerable applause, that FOR
Hancock being by TAR the greatest and most
enthusiastic, and apparently the most spon-
taneous and natural.
BALLOT DEMANDED.
Breckenridge moved that the Convention
now proceed to ballot, and urged the i'm
portance of proceeding with business and
getting through with it as quickly as possible.
Some urged that they should first adopt
the platform.
Breckenridge insisted on having ballot
now. There was no differences of opinion in
the party now which made the adoption of a
platform before nomination necessity.
MOTION TO ADJOURN.
Hoadley moved that the Convention adj
journ until 10 o'clock tomorrow. [Great
cries of NO" "Call the roll call the roll. y
Mr.. McGofferty of Massachusetts charged
that in the viva voce vote on the motion to
adjourn the galleries joined, and he asked a
vote by call of the roll.
The Chair said he had not yet announced
the result of the vote on the motion, and
ordered call of States on adjournment.

The Chair announced as the result Ayes,
317I, noes 3951-so the motion to adjourn

This looks like victory for Hancock
against the field, though it is not a decisive
test, but evidently friends of the other candi-
dates are afraid of it.
Haggett of Massachusetts, moved to pro-
coed Immediately to ballot for a nominee for
President of the United States. Agreed to,
with few dissents. Applause.
