Kentucky took her place in the head Of
the Democratic column, and she stands
there to day under the grandsons of those
who won that battle.

Democracy and American citizenship.

TAMMANY KNUCKLES DOWN.
The President invited the gentlemen
to come forward. The instant they put
foot in the aisle the entire house rose at
them, the regular New Workers alone re-
naming quiet, A procession was form>
ed, with Felix McCloskey in the van, and
the persons named marched down the
aisle to the platform, on which, amid
wild shouts and the music Of the band
and organ, they were invited to be seat
ed. There were loud cries for the boss,
and Nh. Stevenson, with a brief alluslon
to the gallant Democracy of New York,
presented him. He stood for five mtns
utes perfectly quiet while the hall was in
an uproar, the New York regulars alone
quiet. Then, in a calm and deliberate
manner, he addressed the Convention.
SPEECH OF THE TAMMANY BOSS.
The Tammany Boss said!--
Gentlemen of the Convention-Your
chairman has told you that by your &C
lion to-day in nominating General Han.
cock you have united the Democracy Of
New York. He has told you truly.
While myself and my brethren here on

agreed simply politically. Our personal
relations were never severed, though
sometimes our political anXielies often
led us into making passionate remarks
each other. In u sober mos

then we see, like sensible men, that we
have committed an error, and are will

think that my friends here upon the right,
as l said, agree with me upon this ques-
lion, that the great State Of New York
cannot be carried unless there is a uni
ted Democracy in the State, Now that
we are united | think that it will be safe
for me to say to this Convention that
there can be no doubt as to what the re-
suit will be in that State in November
next. Great applause.) You have
