SENATOR WADE HAMPTON,

the platform and was greeted with loud APP
Blause. He said that on behalf OF the solid
South that once was arrayed against General
Hancock, he pledged the tolid vote of the
South 10 the gallant nominee of the Conven-
ton. Recognizing General Hancock's GAL
lantry in war, and his true observance of the

SENATOR VOORHEES, SECONDS THE EOMIEA.
TON.
ID. W. voorhees, took the platform, and said
for words nor for experimenting, and arise
simply to say that, though somewhat sore
hearted, the Democracy of Indiana knows its
duty, and that duty Will be performed In the
coming contest under the gallant leadership
of the nominee which has been given as. lap
plause We had hoped to follow our own
gifted and distinguished statesman, but we
will with none the less aiacrity and cheerful
ne IS send forth a victory in October, folio owed
by another in November under the leadership
of General Hancock. Applause This is a
great spectacle here to-day. Ii is full OF
bright and glorious omens for the future 1t
is "a solid ratification and reconciliation be-
tween the two great sections of this country.
Applause. You have heard much of the
Confederate Brigadier 1 know him and |
Hancock knows him, too, and knows that in
this charge and this great battle for cOnstitu.
tional liberty hecs rely upon the Confederate
Brigadier with as much confidence as he ever
relied upon the Union soldier during the war
of the Rebellion. Applause. 1t is not be-
cause of General HancOck's flashing career as
a military man merely that he has was won
the hsart of this country. L venture to- say
there never was nomination made which
was so utterly destitute of preparation, pre-
arrangement as this which has been
of military man subordinat-
ing the military power to the
spectacles of history, this General Hancock
has won upon the heart of his country. Wash
ington was soldier, but his greatest achieve
ment was when he said that the laws of his
were above the sword and m iIitary
power. lGreat applause.l Hancock won re
nown upon many battle fields, shed his blood
upon many battle fields, rode down the line aS
proud figure in military history as Marshal
Ney or any other marshal that ever com
manded men, but his proudest act was when
placed In command OF what was thought by
our Radical opponents crushed, broken and
ruined States. He had the sagacity, he had
the patriotism, to lift up down-trodden civil
laws that protect freedom of speech,

spoke for civil liberty when 1t was overtErown
throughout one half of this country. He de-
clared In that act he made a second declara-
ton Of independence for the Southern States.
Applause He made a second declaration of
constitutional liberty, and set an example for
his own and for our future generations of ODE
dlence to that great framework devised by our
fathers protected by their failure, enjoyed by
us. He Is worthy OF your confidence. He Is q
bright leader IN war, and still brighter leader
in peace; and on the wisdom, fortitude, con-
science and patience of a man like that we
can trust the Institutions of this beloved land
of ours.
Mr.. Falconer, of New York, followed. Then
came w. Z. p. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
who began by saying: 1--WE have this day
beaten our swords into pruning hooks, with
nal harvest of success" He had loved the
south he had been willing to lay down his
life for her, but to day he stood on a higher
plane-that of American citizenship. To-day
the banner unfurled is the star-spangled of the
Nation, made sacred by the blood OF the man
chosen this day as the, leader OF the Democratic
party. He appealed to New York, Pennsyl-
vanta, Indiana and Connecticut to answer for
their part in the coming contest, and closed
by invoking Gods blessing on this day IS
work
At this point John Kelly appeared, coming
down the main aisle. Instantly great shout
arose. The organ chlmed in and the band also
played. By the time Kelly had reached the
stage the excitement was almost equal to the
scenes Of the early moments of the Conven-
ton.
The Chair introduced Mr.. Kelly, saying: 4" 1t
gives me great pleasure to announce TO you
to.day that In nominating President of the
United States, to-day you have reunited the
Democracy of New York [cheersl, and those
who have been temporarily absent from this
Council come to day TO announce to you that
they give in their allegiance to the Democracy,
and to the support of your ticket
Mr.John Kelly tn IN came to the Chairman s
desk amid terrific yelis and applause.
Mr.. KELLY's REMARKS.
Mr. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CoNvENTIoN-Your Chairman has told you
that by your action of TO day in nominating
General Hancock, you have united the De
[Shouts, applause and hisses.l He has told
you truly. lApplause and voice, "hurrah. ~
While myself and my brethren here on the
right have been fighting each other politically
for the last i've years, they no doubt viii agree
with what am going to say: Let past differ
erences be banished from our midst. TGreRt
to you now of what has occurred in the great
State OF New York, or what has occurred since
we came to the city OF Cincinnati. Never
again shall refer in a political way as to what
has transpired in the State in which we live.
[Applause.l We have disagreed simply polIti.
cally. Our personal relations were never sew
cred, though sometimes our political anx-
ieties often led us into making passion
ate remarks against each other. In our
sober moments, when we have time to reflect.
then we see like sensible men that we have
committed an error and are willing to ask
each others forgi yeness. Applause, cheers
and a voice, "goOd for you.'1 think that my
friends here on my right, as 1 said, will agree
with me upon this question, that the great
State of New York can not be carried unless
there be united Democracy in that State.
Now, that we are united, think that 1t will
be safe for me to say to this Convention that
there can be no doubt as to what the result
will be in that State In November next.
[Great applausel You have nominated, not
only q great soldier, but a statesman.

duty, and when the Government expected
