the front or the stage audlence. Ohe or tne
 most significant scenes in all this uproar, and
 one that must have been humiliatlng to the
 late Tilden men of New York, was the manner
 in which Mir. Kelly was received. While Mir.
 Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was speaking,
 Kelly came into the hall, and as soon as he
 was recognized the audience broke forth in a
 scene that could not have been exceeded If
 Hancock himself had come into the room.
 Men went wild with cheering; ladies waved
 their handkerchiefs and the band struck up a
 lively Irish air. Kelly was marched
 down the aisle in state and conduct
 ed to the platform, where he was obliged to
 stand for some time before the throng would
 allow him to proceed. It was Kelly's hour ot
 triumph. It was the hour in which by all
 reason and the logic of events the anti-Tam-
 many men from New York must have suf-
 fered chagrin of the deepest character. Kelly
 is the hero of the day second scarcely to
 Hancock manifested by the outbreaks of
 the convention throng. The audience next
 yelled for Colonel Fellows. He made con-
 ciliatory speech and closed by taking John
 Kelly by the hand. The latter sat near the
 desk, and when Colonel Fellows took him by
 the hand the two stepped to the front and
 with hands grasped bowed to the audience.
 The excitement at this dramatic act was in
 describable The entire audience belched
 forth in tremendous swell of cheers. The
 brass band played and the great organ for
 the second time during the proceedings shook
 the building with it's laundering peals. Both
 band and organ swung together into the tune
 ''Should Old Acquaintance be Forgot, :"
 whereupon the audience as one voice took up
 the strain and sang stanza after stanza of the
 old song. The reconciliation was to all ap-
 pearance perfected, both Kelly and Fellows
 having promised to bury the New York
 hatchet.
 Susan B. Anthony then came to the front
 by the speakers stand and presented the pc
 tition of the Woman's Suffrage Association
 for recognition. It was read by the clerk.
 Henry Watterson presented the report of the
 committee on resolutions. The first pledges the Democracy to the constitutional doctrines
 and traditions of the party as embodied in the platform of the past National conven- tions. The second denounces centralization
 of power, and calls for the protection of the common schools. The third is home rule plank. and demands gold and silver and pa per currency convertible into coin at demand, the strict maintenance of public faith and tar if for revenues only. The fourth demands subordination of the military to the civil power, and the enforcement of civil service reform. The fifth declares that the right to a free ballot must be maintained The pres ent administration whether the result of conspiracy, claims the right to in timidate and obstruct electors by the of the military at the polls, and thereby insults the people and imperils our institutions. The seventh exe- crates the administration for making places with civil service a reward for political crimes, and demands legislation preventing bribery at presidential elections. The eighth denounces the electoral fraud a crime, and asserts that this issue precedes and dwarfs all others in the present campaign. The ninth declares that the resolution of Samuel J. Tilden not to be again candidate for the po sition to which he had been elected had been 1x,+ deep sensibility. The resolutions also further express warm admiration for Tilden's pa- triotism and demand free ships and no dis crimination in favor of transportation lines The twelfth resolution demands no tolera- tion of Chinese immigration except for travel, education and commerce, and asserts that the public land is for settlers only The thirteenth claims that the Democratic party is the party of labor and must protect it. The fourteenth congratulates the country on the reduction of expenditures by the Demo- cratic Congress. The platform was adopted by viva voce vote:
 The secretary read telegram from the home of General Grant stating that the people there were enthusiastic ever the nomination, which was endorsed with fervor that prom ised victory. A resolution was presented af- firming the right of citizens to trial by jury, liberty of the press and free speech; referred to the committee under the rule. MT. Col lins, of Massachusetts, offered a resolution the National Committee to pro- vide for the next National convention seats for the accommodation of delegates, alter mates and members of the press, but for none others, in order that the convention might be in all respects 8 deliberative body. On motion of MT. Smalley, of Vermont, the resolution was tabled. MT. Breckenridge, of Kentucky moved a recess until 5 o'clock, but there was so much opposition that the motion was not entertained. On motion of MT. Publitzer, of Missouri, the convention pro- dent. William H. English, of Indiana, was nominated by General Pettis, of Ala bama, who said that with the union of the New York Democracy and the certainty of carrying Indiana success was assured. The nomination was seconded by moved to suspend the rules and make the nomination unanimous. The nomination was further seconded by Mr. McClennan, of Illinois, and Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana. Mir. Irish, of Iowa, nominated ex-Governor Bishop of Ohio, in a eulogistic speech of some length. The nomination was not sec onded, and one by one as the roll was called each of the other States supported the nonli- nation of English. When Wisconsin, the last State, was called, Colonel W. F. Villas moves that the nomination of English be made by exclamation. The Ohio delegation withdrew the nomination of Bishop and the nomination of English was carried without a dissenting vote.
 Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, moved the appointment of a committee of one from each State to notify the candidates of their nomination, but accepted an amendment that they be notified by letter. A motion of Mr. Pettis, of Kentucky that the District of Col umbia and each of the Territories be accord ed representation in the National Committee Sf9faS was then called for members of the National Committee, and for members of the committee to notify the candidates of their nomination. The chairman of the con vention was added to the latter committee. On motion of Mir. Smalley, of Vermont, the secretary and stenographer were ordered to prepare record of the proceedings of the to be printed and distributed among the members of the convention by the National Committee. A resolution was passed that the place for holding the next National convention be left to the National Committee, and that the basis of representa- lion be the same as for this Resolutions of thanks to the officers of the convention were passed, and General Preston moved to ad- iourn sine die.

 NEW YORK, June 24.-Within five minutes after General Hancock had been nominated the news was received at Governors Island, and as might be expected created among the officers and soldiers intense enthusiasm Gen eral Hancock was visited by a reporter just after the gentleman himself had received the welcome tidings. General Hancock took his nomination with his usual becoming modesty, and though justly proud of the result had very little to say, even to the officers of his staff, responding in a simple yet dignifed manner to their congratulations. The Gen eral was in his private office when the re- porter called. Captain Wharton, aide-de- camp, escorted General Hancock to the re- eeption room, where he was immediately sur rounded by crowd of officers and friends who had been waiting anxiously to hear the result. The Generals face was wreathed in smiles and he appeared to be in perfect health. General Hancock, af- klo o4T,Ta4 4Io+
