for temporary chairman. Agreed 10.
VIM. l.. Scott and ii. ID. McKenny
were appointed n committee TO conduct
him to the chair.
Hoadley's approach to the platform
was greeted with applause

committee and the convention. He
thanked them for their complimentary
action in putting him in the chair. and
pledged himself to the strictest impair

duties assigned TO him. II was the
only adequate method by which he
could testify his gratitude; as chairman

He then proceeded with some lauda-
ton Of the democratic party. for which
this convention, he said, would make
no new creed; which had its own vital
ity and which would not depend for its
future ON the success Of It's ticket, or be
crushed out by its defeat. Their duties
here were simply TO declare the party's
will. The occasion was one Of great
interest and importance at st. Louis
four years ago. They plased in nomi-
nation two OF the foremost men Of the
nation. Great applause.)
The subsequent repetition OF the
name Of Samuel J. Tilden was the oc-

the republican party as one of fraud,
which cheated the people out Of their

Of their victory. (Applause.) Although
the democrats failed to inaugurate
their candidates their cause was not
wholly lost. They defeated the attempt
