went around at this, and the suggestion that IL nc
was elected he must take his scat at once, or he
would be mo bigger a man than sam liden''
Probably it was simply tho work of tho bandmaster
but it did seem most appropriate that tho announce
ment Of the nomination, following closely the
boasting of ex-rebes about the Solid South should
be greeted with Dixie"
The first Hancock transparency of the campaign
then made its appearance. 1t bore the name of the
Samuel j. Randall Association, and as the gleetul
Pennsylvanians carried it up the middle aisle
they danced it to the tune of Dixie"
This was at n quarter after II, or little more
than an hour after the nomination had been made.
Now the great organ pealed out the Star Spanged
Banner" and the band joined in. This was followed
by America" in which the audience also joined
aud cheered at the close. Senator voorhees, then
spoke, expressing the regret of Mr.. Hendrlckss
supporters that he could not have been nominated
but saying that no nomination had ever been MADE
with less management than this to-day.
Lester B. Faulkner spoke for New-York, and made
the point that there was Republican majority OF
but one vote in the Electoral Commission, and that
vote was cast by tho Republican candidate LOT
President. About this timc cries for Kelly began
| to be heard. The next speaker introduced was W.
2. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, who made the most
animated and eloquent speech Of the day. He cate
chised the men of the doubtful States and called on
| New-York Ohio, Connecticut, and New-Jersey
| to say what they could do for the ticket lhere
were re- ponses from all sides Mr. McSweeney; %; OF
Ohio SAID we will turn out III October 4Oo'OOo

JOHN KELLY APPEARS.
! Then began the most interesting episode OF tho
| COnventiOn-more interesting, indeed. than the
nomination itself. Tho cries for Kelly continued
and increaSeu. Tho front of the hall opened and
q delegation of the Tammany leaders moved up the
aisle arm in arm almost the whole Convention
rising to its feet and cheering them rs they passed

quietly in their seats and pail no heed whatever
TO Mr. Kellys entrance. IIe was accompanied by
Augustus Schcll and Amasa j. Parker. When Mr..
Kelly appeared at the cbairmans desk lie was we'll

WAS noticeable that Mr.. Kelly was cheered moro

there were unmistakabc hisses. lhe

The speech was received by the Convention with
a good deal of cnthusasm, "Wc want his votes.

demonstrating with hm for cheering Democratic

b,dy bat in the Ncw-York delegation there was
good deal of grim amusement, for the man who hal
boltcd and defeated Democratic ticket to come
forward and declare that tho man who ever
mentions tic subject again shall be set down as
traitor To the party. Is a good deal like burglar
cauelt in the crime proposing that byc-goncs shall

Ncw.Yorkcrs with considerable force. Mr. kcllyS
ragerncss to forgive tho man he had injured was
ainusingy manifested later on.
When hc had finished his speech thcro were calls
Of " New-York" -" New York." and Colonel Fellows
arose He was summoned to the platform by impa-

neither was anything said to show that the llIdch
Democrats were anxious to be forgiven for the po-
litical sins which John Kelly had committed. When
Colonel Fellows had concluded the most lutlicr0us
