CINCINNATI LOVE FEAST.
HANCOCK AND ENGLISH,

L
4 the utmost harmony and the best of feelin
! throughout, and now that it is over, there are
! sore spots. The nomination of Hancock cs
properly be called unanimous. He was not az
vocated by the politicians, and his boom ha
t no financial backing. His headquarters wei
at the Third National hotel, and no brass ban
or noisy appearances were called into requisi
tion. As telegraphed you late last night hi
/. boom grew rapidly after the first ballot, ant
it became most oertaiu that he would go int
the convention this morning with three hnr
: dred votes. When the roll call had been fr
ished this morning he had 302. The secretarie
commenced to figure up. and had been at wor
several minutes wheh the chairman OF the Wis
cOnsin delegation arose anC
asked TO change the vote of the State. The
chair wouldn't allow it to be done without
vote of the convention. The convention voteC
to allow it and then he changed the vote. which
had been 10 for Hancock and 10 scattering, t.
90 for Hancock. Terrific yells went mp, anC
Wi sconsin had made the
TURNING POINT IN THE CONVENTION,
ss it did two weeks ago in Chicago, it starting
Gar6elds boom there. The chairman of the
New Jersey delegation arose and changed the
vote of that State, adding n1S to Hancock.
| From this time there was almost endless confu-
sion, the galleries, the delegates, the platform,
all joined in
EXTRAYAGANT DEMONSTRATIONS OF JOY.
Twenty-Five men were on their feet wildly
waving their hands, shouting, Mr.. Chairman, ."
each one hoping to get an early
recognition in order to change the
vote of his State. AS rapidly
as it could be done in the noise and
confusion changes were made until votes
enough had been secured to nominate, Then
the chair ordered the roll to be called, each
State to have each vote recorded. On
this call Indiana voted for Hendricks aud
Maryland cast her vote for Bayard. All the
rest were for Hancock When the call was
ended the convention
GREW WILD AGAIN.
The band broke out with "Dixie-America''
and Yankee Doodle" and the big organ
thundered out an accompaniment. Every one
was on his or her feet, hats and h2ndkerchiefs,
fans and umbrellas were swung high in air.
A banner with picture of Hancock was car
ried to the chairman's desk. Staffs with the
State embems used to mark the location
of the respective delegations were seized
by members of the convention, and carried to
the platform, and strung in a circle about the
picture. For about fifteen minutes this de-
monstration continued, and when it had ended
Dan Voorhees,, of Indiana, took the stand, and
in few excellent words moved to make The
NOMINATION UNANIMOUS.
This was passed, and another big hurrah fol-
lowed. The next thing was what might be
called a scene not put down on the bills. 1
got near the steps leading to the platform, and
the sergeant-at-arms came to one of his assist
ants, near my elbow, and said:
CLEAR THE STAIRWAY FOR TAMMANY
A few minutes later the gate in the rear of
the delegates seats was opened and a process
sion came marching down the aisle amid great
applause. 1t comprised about a dozen Tam
many chieftans headed by John Kelley and
Augustus Schell, walking arm in arm. Spinola
with his big shirt collar and John B. Haskins
were the second couple of this notable process
sion. As they came upon the platform the
chair introduced Kelley, and he made the
watched the New York delegation as their
Tammany enemies came, and they did not look
happy, 1t was lionizing those who had bolted |
the party little too much. When Kelly said
they proposed to let past differences
be settled the entire convention, ex-
cept New York, rose to their feet and the
applauding storm was 30 great that a moment
tha ela nd
joined in the applause. When Kelly had
concluded, John Fellows of the New York del
egatiOn, was vehemently called for, and on
coming to the platform he shook hands with |
Kelly. He made speech which was con-
cluded by Kelley's stepping to his side Snd
they stood there shakn hands over the bloody |
chasm while
GREAT voLLEYs OF THUNDE&rNa APPLAUSE
went up as loud as was possible to issne from
5000 or 6,C00 throats. The band and organ |
struck up Auld Sang Syne," ;" and the d. rlsgates, |
many literally dancing with joy, singing it. 1t |
was 10 or Is minutes before the applause |
over this love feast and healing |
of the Democratic qurrel in the |
empire State had ended. With harmony the |
State is surely Democratic, and its vote will |
turn the scale. Therefore everybody was
happy. When the platform was adopted the
VICE PRESIDENCY
was taken up. Consultation had been going on |
among the delegates, and English, of Indiana, |
had been agreed upon. Alabama being the
first State on the roll was designated to present
his name, and as the roll proceeds every one
seconded English except Indiana, which brought
out the ridiculous government bishop of Ohio,
a boom that fell still born, aud was soon with
drawn, and thus the work of Che convention
ended. Tilden's strength i'll the |
convention was evidently greatly |
overrated, for when New York
threw Randall to the breeze this morning she
only secured for him 12s votes, seventy of
those being her own delegation.
MINNESOTA has BEEN IN THE VAN
all the way, and her position was in marked con-
trast to the ridiculous condition at Chicago |
Only three States-Minnesota, Louisiana and
Vermont-voted for Hancock on the ballot last
night, and only six were solid for him on the
original roll call this morning. The Min
nesota delegation has been noted throughout
for its wise policy in all uues-
tions. The Minnesota parlors were one of
the headquarters at one of the leading hotels
in the city, and believe am correct in saying
that in no previous national convention of
either of the parties has Minnesota occupied so
prominent position as at the present one.
The delegates leave tonight, but will prob
ably halt in Chicago and reach home Saturday
afternoon. The
ENTHUSIASM IN TIE CITY
over the nomination is immense. 1t is hearty
and earnest, and there are no heart-burnings,
no eye sores over defeats. 1t is one hundred
fold stronger than over Garfield at Chicago. The
Democrats feel that they have named a good
ticket, and ticket which will win. The har-
mony in New York is hailed as an omen of sue
cess, and everybody is as happy as can be. In
