played " Dixie, the first strain of which took
a large part of the audience to their feet with
cheers, redoubled as =" Yankee Doodle" fol-
! lowed.
The Chair announced that no one having
received two thirds, there was no choice.
Breckenridge of Kentucky moved to ad-
journ to 10 o'clock tomorrow. Adopted, and
the Convention adjourned at Clio NJ.
THE COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM READY TO
REPORT.
CINCINNATI, June 23d.-The Committee
on Platform have finished their work and
will be prepared to report tomorrow morn
ing. The platform as il now stands, reaf-
firms the platform adopted at st. Louis, and
|
Pennsylvania resolutions adopted at the
Convention of the party few months ago,
and are from the pen Of Jere. Black There
is also strong anti-Chinese plank, resolu-
ton in praise of Tilden and Hendricks, and
an eloquent arraignment of the party for the
fraud of 1876. The financial plank declares
for Treasury notes convertible into coin.
HANCoCKs CHANCES - THE ANTI-cHINEsE
PLANK.
| CINCINNATI, June 23d.-It is stated conf
dentially at 10 o'clock tonight that Bayard
will lose his Georgia votes on the second
ballot, and that Hancock will get ten new
votes from Michigan and the solid votes of
Alabama and Arkansas. Hancock's friends
are jubilant. The Tammany men have just
gone to Hancock's headquarters to serenade
his managers, and promise their cordial sup
port of him il he gets the nomination.
The anti-Chinese resolution in the platform
has been adopted by the committee in the
precise form demanded by the Pacific coast
members. 1t is said to be very strong.
HANcocK's BooM-FIELD's voTE-oUTLooK
FOR BAYARD.
CINCINNATI, June 23j.-The surprise of
to-day was the proportions of Hancock's
boom on the first ballot. 1t demonstrated
| the fact that his friends have managed their
canvass quietly and with better Judgment
than those Of any other candidate voted for
except Bayard. He was admirably pre-
sented This strength had not been heralded,
and he took the lead unexpectedly to
everybody except his own leaders His
weight annoyed and alarmed the friends
of all the other nominees before the
ballot began, and it was because they
feared the effect Of a large vote for him that
so many of them tried to adjourn to prevent
ballot tonight. Falling in this, the result
leaves Hancock with the prestige of the lead,
Which bids fair to help him greatly to-
morrow If he increases or even holds his
vote on the second ballot, it is thought he
will rapidly advance against the eutire field
and if he once gets majority his nomination
| by two thirds follows. OF course he is beyond
all question the favorite Tonight.
| Fields vote was so ridicuously below the
expectations and professed claims of his
friends that his candidacy ceases TO hold
much place in public interest here.
1t is feared that Bayard's vote cannot be
greatly increased unless the Tilden men shall
see the folly of scattering their votes on dunn
meys or wasting them on Payne, who also
looks to be already hopelessly out of time.
They may be wise enough to concentrate on
Bayard though their present attitude is one
of undignifed folly.
TILDEN TRICK SUSPECTED.
The impression grows that the Tilden men
are playing a cunning and petty game to
prevent any nomination whatever, until
everybody shall be exhausted, and then, by
a sudden concentration of their dummy and
! insincere votes upon Tilden, to stampede the
| Convention into nominating the old ticket Of
Tilden and Hendricks l don't believe that
they will get their opportunity to
try the stampede, and that they will
therefore be spared the defeat which
they would almost surely invite, for under no
circumstances is it believed that Tilden can
get two-t thirds vote, though he is the only
nominee who would fail of two-thirds after
obtaining majority of the Convention in is
present temper.
! The best impression is that some nomina-
ton will be made tomorrow, and that the
candidate will be neither Payne Thurman,
| Field nor Hendricks.
