selections.

Prayer was offered again by Rev, DR.. Tay-
lor, of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. He prayed for that unanimity and
harmony in the Convention so needful to ac-
complish the patriotic end which it had in
view; that individual members might lay
aside their personal predictions for the
highest welfare of the whole nation; that the
choice of the Convention might result in the
election of man of enduring character,
blameless in life, unsullied in reputation, and
of exalted patriotism, and that the persons
elected might be brought to occupy their
places.

Peckham of New York rose to make a
statement on behalf of the New York dele

honored statesman of New York (Tilden).

the proceedings by outsiders, and promised
that he would ask the Convention to pre-.
serve order at any and all hazards.
Peckham resumed: The Telegraph had re-
ceived letter from Tilden, in which he re-
nounced himself as a candidate for the nomi-
nation. Knowing him to be honest in pur-
pose and action, we accept his letter as re-
nunciation of all claim and all candidacy.
He row 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
