that were in nomination for Presiden
of the United States. The names o
the Hendricks, Thurman and Hancock
were received with considerable applause
that of Hancock being greatest, mos
enthusiastic and apparently, most spon
taneous and natural.
Mr.. Breckenridge moved that the Con
vention proceed to ballot, and urged the
Importance of proceeding with. busines.
and getting through with it as quickly
as possible. Some one urged they
should first adopt the platform.
Mr.. Breckenridge insisted on having
ballot now. There were no differences
of opinion in the party now which made
the adoption of q platform before ballot
ing necessity.
Judge Hoadley moved that the CoDven
ton adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow
Amid great cries of "no, no" "call
roll," "call ROLL" Mr.. McGaferty oi
Massachusetts, charged that in the viva
voce vote on the motion to adjourn the
galleries had Joined and he asked vote
by call of the roll.
The Chair said that he had not YET
announced the result of the vote on the
motion, and ordered call of the States
on adjournment, which resulted as fol-
lows: Ayes 3173, noes 1851. 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 the
other candidates were afraid of it.
Mr.. Haggett, of Mississippi, moved to
proceed Immediately to a ballot for q
nominee for President. Agreed to with a
few dissents. [Applause. The roll was
then called.
THE FIRST BALLOT.
The totals of the first ballot were an
nounced by the Chair as follows whole

l !; Mcclellan 2; Black, /; English, l !;
Parker, l Jewett, /.
AS the vote of each State was an
nounced from the platform cheers and
Kisses were renewed, and some one
moved that the galleries be cleared, but
it was not pressed. While the clerks
were adding up their tally the band
played Dixie, the first strain of which
took large part of the audience to their
feet, with cheers redoubled as Yankee
Doodle followed.
The Chair announced that no one
having received two-thirds there was no
choice. Mr.. Bee enridge, of Kentucky,
moved to adjourn until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. Adopted, and the
Convention adjourned at 6. 10 P. NJ.
Third and Last Days Proceedings.
CINCINNATI, June "a.
President Stevenson, arrived at 1925
a. L., but the delegates seats were only
half.filled. The organ and military
band occupy the audience with many
admirably rendered musical selections.
The Chair called the Convention to
order at 1925 a. m.
Mr.. Peckham, of New York, rose tn
make statement in behalf of the New
York delegation. That delegation had
heard with great emotion cries of "plat-
form." and he took the desk the votes
given yesterday for the honored states
man of New York, S. J. Tilden. Great
applause.
The Chair rebuked the interference
with the proceeding by outsiders, and
promised that it would ask the Conven.
ton to preserve order at any and all
hazards.
Peckham resumed. The delegation
had received letter from Tilden, in
which he renounced himself as q candi-
date for nomination. Knowing him to
be honest in purpose and action, we
accept his letter as remuneration of all
claim and all candidacy. He now
presented the letter for such action as
the Convention desired but the delega-
tion have this morning agreed upon
another candidate, and he named
Speaker Randall. Applause.
The Chair asked if the Convention
would have Tilden's letter read. Cries
of eyes !" and "No" but in viva voce
vote decided no.
Thomas, of Kentucky, offered resolu-
tion denouncing as unconstitutional and
unrepublican any State law affecting any
citizen on account of religious or non
religious views. Referred.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
While the second vote was being taken
Hull stated in obedience to instructions
that the Ohio delegation cast forty.two
votes for Thurman.
Another Ohio delegate denied his
right to announce the vote and said the
delegation are now consulting as to how
Ohio's vote would be cast. Cheers.
Ohio when again called gave forty. -four
for Thurman.
Before the official vote was ennounced
Wisconsin asked permission to change
its vote. [Cries, agreed" and some
"No."
Somebody raised the question of order
that the vote could not be changed.
The Convention agreed to it and Wis.
consin cast for Hancock twenty votes.
[Great cheers.
There was now scene of great confu-
sion. New Jersey changed to Hancock
eighteen votes.
Immense cheering. Long, continued
and great confusion, which the Chair
vainly tried for several minutes to sup
press.
The chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation rose finally and said that
Pennsylvania was proud of her sons
both of them-one great soldier, the
other an able and eminent statesman.
She would gladly vote for either, and
then changed her whole vote to Hancock.
Immense cheers and excitement.
A great portion of the audience and
the Convention rose cheering, waving
banners, fans and tossing hats.
Hancock's banner was brought to the
front of the platform amid great enthu-
siasm, the band playing "Hail to the
Chief" The small banners Of the States
votino for Hammock were broupht forWa, Il
