Kelly proceeded 10 the platform ant
was greeted with lively Irish air by tn
band and great calls for hin.
The chair said it gave him great plea
sure TO Announce to the convention tina
its action to-day had united the grea
democracy of New York; also that the

great applause and some Kisses.
Kelly said it was tiIHe that Hancock's
nomination had united the democracy oil
New York. Though they had been
lighting bitter ~ for i've years, let pat
differences be now vanished forever.
Never again wsuld he refer to what had
transpired in the past either here or in
the state of New York. He disowned
ever having been actua!ed by personal
lll-feeliags, though ia the apX ETY. OF

things of each other for which in more
| sober moments they we're ready TO ask
10 RlYenesi of each other. New York
could not be carried except by unity 10 the
democratic party, and now that this had
been secured he felt it safe to promise
that New York would give her electoral
vote 10 the ticket made here. Hancock
was not only a great solder but states
man as well; gentleman against whom
nothing can be said (Chears)
