VI lueIU anu Iucy ucNOttu LuClE IbhO,
to the framing of such declaration Oh prihcipies
as they thought would be popular.
When Mr.. Watterson appeared on the stage Win
his platform in his hand there was general shout
of applause part of which was an expression
of satisfaction at relief from speechmaking, winch
had been continued until it had become tlresome,
and part complimentary to Mr.. Wattcrson himself
who in spite Of the local fight made on him in
Kentucky, is deservedly popular with his party.
Two or threo Of the resolutions were applauded'
although majority of the delegates were paying no
attention to what was being read, as they were
engaged in consultation and in making
combination on the Vice-Presidency. Tie hrso
resolution which attracted attention was that
which demanded tariff for revenue only. When
this was read some of the Southern and Western
delegates who sat Immediately in front and could
hear what was read began o little cheering over
this which extended and finally became general
in all parts of the hall. Mr.. Watterson's pet reso-
luti0ns were those which declared the existing
administration to DO tho representatives OF con-
spiracy, dcnouncing " the great fraud OF loI6-""
and expressing regret that Mr.. Tilden had re-
solved not again to be candidate for the
Presidency. These he read with strong emphasis
and much apparent feeling as though he really
believed in what he was saying.
The Convention responded heartily and perhaps
moro unreservcdly than it had done to the mention
of Mr.. Tilden's name at any previous time. All
the former applause at the name OF the statesman
of Gramcrcy Park had been confined to spots OF
the Convention. The delegates were greatly
afraid Of Mr. Tildcn when they came here, ana
their fear that some way or other the convention
would be stam,"dcd into his denomination was at
all times q damper on the enthusiasm with when
any mention of him had been received. But
tlo n1QSn1 Samuel j.
Tldcn was now 40 moro than any other Demo-
cratic citizen, and there was no reason why he
and the issue for the Democratic party which he
made should be warmly applauded. The shout.
therefore, which began among Mr.. Tilden's nearest
friends grew until it became general all over the
hall, and Mr. Wattcrson had his reward.
THE SECOND PLACE on TIE TICKET.
The Convention was by this time getting i'm
patent to complete its work and get away. and the
demand for an immediate roll-caIl for the nomina-
ton of candidate for the Vice-Presidency was
heard from all parts of the hail. This proceeding
was purely formal. iuasmuch as tho nomination OF
William II. English, OF Indiana, had been deter
mined upon dnring the two honrs that had elapsed
since General Hancock'S nomination became as
sured.
The Illinois delegation had been very much en-
conraged by the events OF yesterday, and. as was
reported in these dispatches last night, had agreed
10 stand by their candidate, Morrison, until the
transfer of their votes would nominate some other
man. They suspected then that General Hancock
would carry Oft the first prize. and they contehl-
plated q contingency in which their forty-two votes
might be judicously used to secure Tor thelr canui
date the second place on the ticket. They thonght
that he time they had been looking Tor had come dur
ino the ballot for Presidential candidate this morn
M iD1un no IN "a Hancock
"buomn by Joining II. They then fully expected
that IIancock's friends IN other delegations would
rec,procato hy putting Morrison OH tho ticket too.
Rpt bcfore the ro-call for tho nomination OF cand"
dates for the Presidency began other arrange
ments had been made. The Convention had taken one
nj its candidates from q Republican State, q State
which the Democracy have no hope OK carrying
passipp over all the doubtful States, almost every
one Of which had candidate of its own. IL Morr-
son whose home is in another of the Republican
stronrholds was put on the ticket it would look as
though all the doubtful States were to be lett 10
SHIFT tor themselves.
But this was not the only objection to the nomi-
nation of Morrison. The successful management OF
4 National campaign requires funds anu great
many of them. The nominee for tho Presidency is
neither M immensely rich man himself, nor mas no
beInd him any such man who Is expected to spend
PAYNE had been the nominee he would have been
oxncctcd TO spend from half million to million
dollars between now and election day, and al
th,uob Mr.. Bayard would not himself be required
IN furnish auy large sum for campaign expenses,
Gonna Of the friends who had been supporting him
hare would do it for him. TO put two men on the
ticket who could neither furnish money themselves
nor command il from frie s was blunder when the
leaders d,d not intend should be committed Will
iom II, English, Of Indiana, was man VINO was
available both because of his residence IN Indiana
and his supposed popularity there, aud because IL
,yoe thought that he could either furnish or COM
| maud norton of the money that would DC neeoed
for tho canvass. A brief presentation OF the rea-
sons why Mr.. Engllshs nomination would DC wiser
,hop th,t Of Morrison was made to all tho dclega-
tions by some of the more experienced poiicai
managers while the platform was occupied by the
To,vcnt,on orators 80 that when the roll began to
he called tho matter had been fully arranged.
THE LAST RoLL-cALL.
Alohoma as the first State on tho list. struck the
,o,.notc General sPetts, Of her delegation tall.

Senator VOORHEES,, speaking for Indiana, SAID tha'
hot State had no candidate for the second place on
,hn tckct. but thanked the Convention for ITS
snlection of an Indiana man, and cast the vote ol
L,s State for English. 1t was not generally
known in the Convention whether Illinois hao
fallen in with the English arrangement ana whei

nomination of English by its vote for Morrison Du'
