When South Carolina was called, Wade Hamp-
ton rose and was greeted with . tremendous
burst OF applause as he went forward on clutches
and assembled the platform. When order was
restored. Hampton said South Carolina had no
preference-nO candidates- Recognizing the en-.
thusiasm with which Hancock's name had been
received, he would say that the South would
| feel safe with Hancock, for they had been under
him when he was in power. They appreciated
! the claims Of Thurman, and the fitness Of all the
candidates who had been presented, but South
Carolina favored Bayard. because they believed
him 70 be the strongest man for the convention 70
nominate. (Applause]
! Hubbard, Of Texas, took the platform, as he
said, to second the nomination Of the soldier
/ statesman Hancock He proceeded TO extol
/ Hancock's conduct in the South after the war
had ceased; when he said that the war was over
! and the Constitution revised, and when he or
dered the the doors Of the bastiles 10 be opened
and the imprisoned set free. He urged The good
policy Of naming Hancock; who, being emf
nently worthy Of Democratic support would
unite the party, challenge the approval Of the
whole county, and bring votes, and that is what
they wanted.
| Mr.. Stringfellow, of Virginia, took the plat
form to second the nomination of Field.

ton was embarrassed by The variety and bril-
llancy Of the names from which to choose their
nominee. Complimenting all whose names had

be that of Hancock (applause] mot of Pennsyl-

lie combatted the argument that the country
was tired of The rule Of soldiers and opposed to
soldier candidates Washington himself WAS

HancOck's nomination would mean instant and
constant aggression. 1t would say to all the
land: We move on the enemy's works to-mor-
row." [Applause Nominate him and they
would hear the music OF the cheers OF the boys
who wore the blue mingling with those who
wore The gray. [Applause.
GOOde, OF Virginia, took The platform and sup
ported Humans nomination.
The chair then announced the names that
were in nomination for President Of the United
States. The names of Hendricks, Thurman and
Hancock met with considerable applause, that
Of Hancock being the greatest most enthusi-
asiic and apparently the most spontaneous and
natural.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, moved that the
convention proceed 10 ballot and urged the i'm
portance OF proceeding with business and get
ting through with it as quickly as possible.
Some one urged that they should first adopt a
platform.
Breckenridge insisted on having a ballot now
There were no differences of opinion in the con-
vention now which made the adoption Of q
platform before a ballot necessary.
Judge Hoadley moved that the convention
adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
(Great cries Of No, no. Call roll Call roll ri
McGafferty, Of Massachusetts, charged that in
the rtou uOce vote for the motion to adjourn, the
galleries joined, and he asked a vote by call Of
the roll.
The chair ordered a call of the States on ad-
jourument, which resulted as follows: Ayes
3174, nays 1854. So the motion to adjourn was
lost. This looked like victory for Hancock
against the field, though it was not decisive
test. Evidently however, the friends Of other
candidates were afraid OF it.
Mr. Hsggett, OF Mississippi, moved 10 proceed
Immediately 10 ballot for a nominee for Pres-
dent. Agreed 10 with few dissents. [Applause
The roll WAS then called
