Mr. Falconer of New York followed
Then came
W. P. BRECKENRIDGE, OF KENTUCKY,
who hegan by saying: We have this
day beaten our swords into pruning
books with which we shall reap, in No
vember, the autumnal harvest ofsuccess.
He had loved the Snu,h He had been
willing to lay down his life for her. But
to day they stood on q higher plane
that of American citizenship. TODAY
the banner unfurled is the star spang led
of the nation, made sacred by the blood
of the man chosen this day as the lea
der of the Democratic party. He ap-
pealed TO New York, Pennsylvania, IT,
diana and Ohio to answer for their part
in the coming contest, and closed by in
voking Gods blessing on this days la
Dor.
At this point
JOHN KELLY APPEARED,
coming down the main isle. Instantly
a great shout arose, the organ chimed in
and the band also took part. By the
time Kelly had reached the stage the
excitement was almost equal to the
scenes of the early moments of the Con-
vention. The chairman, in introducing
Mr.. Kelly, said that by to-day's action
the Democracy of New York had been
reunited.
Kelly was
GREETED WITH THE Widest APPLAUSE
and when quiet was partly restored
Kelly said that, bv nominating Hancock,
the Convention had reunited the Demo-
cratic party of New York. He had nc
doubt bis brethren and those with whom
they had been fighting politically for tie
past five years, would agree to let pas
differences be forgotten. Great ap-
plause He promised 10 say nothing
hereafter of the bitterness of the past
The union of the Democrats OF New
York was essential to succe sand now be

for Hancock in November. He then
proceeded to eulogize General Hancock
and pronounced him soldier and gen.
tleEan and man Of honor. He coun-
ciled organ z,ton in tie State of New
York, and asked that whoever in the
State OF New. York hereafter, spoke oil
the difference in that State should be
REGARDED AS A TRAITOR
There was higher duty than fighting
each other politically. For himself he
pledged his heartiest support to the tick
ct, and predicted its success.
Loud cries were made for Fellows, o.
New York, representing the other side o.
the New York political strife He ap,
peared at length, and while the house was
cheering and the chairman rapping fol
order he took his place at the Speaker
desk. A proclamation for special quie
was made by the Chair and repeated by
the Sergeant -at-Arns, to enable him tt
be heard. He said the action to-day wai
snperb. All dissensions in the New
York Democracy were healed Infinitely
more than this had been done the gian
0iscord in the land had been strangled
Hancock again should hear
THE ROAR OF HAMPToNs CANNON,
and again all over this land will com
the voice of fraternal accord, and owe
the whole country shall fall the benedic
ton of lasting peace.
AT the close OF his speech John Kelly
stood up beside him, and the two wit
clasped hands and their faces covere
with smiles, made the formal sign of re
Cancellation. The scene was heightene
in impressiveness when the band struc
up "Auld Lang Syne," and was support
ed by the ponderous tones of the gres
organ.
