forty-two. Wild enthusiasm followed the an
nOuncement, as yesterday she had voted solid
for Morrison. The same demonstrations fol-
lowed the announcement of the vote of Ioulsl-
ana, Maine Michigan and Minnesota When
MissOuri's twenty-eight for Hancock were given
there was another rousing cheer. New 1ork's
seventy votes for Randall drew forth demon
STATIONS from the Randall club, whose
white hats and canes were used. When
Ohio was called, Alexander Long said
the delegation asked leave to retire for
consultation. The state was passed. Pennsyl-
vanla also asked leave to retire and was passed.
When Ohio was called again Mr.. Hill said the
most Of the delegation was absent, and the
chairman also absent, but in obedience to
the instruction of three hundred thousand De-
mOcrats of Ohio, he would cast the Al votes of
Ohio for Allen G.. Thurman. The chair refused
to recognize Mr.. Hills right to cast the vote.
/ Ohio then returned and cast Al votes for Thur
man. Wisconsin got permission to change her
vote, and cast 20 votes for Hancock. Here an
other wild scene of excitement occurred. New
jersey followed, casting her IL votes for Han
cock. Instantly the whole convention and the
galleries became wild with enthusiasm, and it
required several minutes TO enable any
one to hear an individual voice. When
ii last peace was partly restored
Hale, (Pennsylyania). mounted on a chair,
eulogized Hancock and closed by changing the
vote Of Pennsylvania, making So votes for Han
cock. Again the anthem of enthusiasm and
again in vain the weakened staCcatO Of the
chaiTman's gravel until it was wholly drowned
by the overwhelming tide of sound. Then w.

Guilty changed her vote to IS for Hancock, 5 for
Bayard and for Thurman. Nebraska changed
her six votes to Hancock Virginia then
changed to Hancock, then Nevada, then Rhode
Island and the work was done.

/ A season of speech making here ensued, rem
dered particularly interesting by the recOncllia-

I Kelly, IN. y. being introduced spoke In en-

the differences in that state should be regarded
as a traitor. Fellows, (N. y. representing the

close of his speech John Kelly stood up beside
him, and the two. with grasped hands and faces
covered with smiles, made the formal sign Of
reconciliation.

4 chair, and after order was restored proceeded to
read the platform as follows:
The Democrats OF the United States. in convention
! assembled, declare:
That we pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional
doctrines and traditions Of the Democratic party as
illustrated by the teaching and example Of long line
Of Democratic statesmen and patriots, and embodied
in tn platform of the last national convention Of the
party.
STANDARDIZATION to Capitalization and to that
! dangerous spirit Of enc-oachment which tends To
consolidate in one and thus to create whatever the

laws separation of church and state for the good of

gold and silver and paper convertible into coin de
mand, the strict maintenance of the public faith,
state and national and tariff for only, the
subordlnaton Of the military To the civil power, and
a genuine and thorough reform of the civil service
The right to free ballot is right preservative of
all rights and must and shall be maintained in every
part of the United States
The existing administration is the representative
of conspiracy only, and its claim of right to surround
the ballot boxes with troops and deputy marshals to
intimidate and obsruc the electors and the UMPIRE
cedented use of the veto to maintain its corrupt and
despotc power insults the people and imperils their

We execrate the course of this administration in
making places in the civil service reward for polit

shall make it forever impossible for defeated candi

tOral votes of two states, the candidate defeated
the polls was declared To he president and for the
first time in American history the viii of the people
set aside under a threat of military violence,
struck deadly blow at our system OF representative

The resolution of Samuel j. Tiden not again TO be
a candidate for the exalted place to which he was
elected by majority of his countrymen, and from
which he was excluded by the leaders of the Repubi-
party is received by the Democrats of the United
States with deep seIsibiity, and they declare their
confidence in his wisdom patriotism and integrity,

they further him that he is followed into the
