Cincinnati, q. The renewed Tiideu
Z boom Il still being crowded and many
= persons think it likely To be successful.
! L do not believe the convention will
brave TGmmsny wrath by aiding Til
= denis nomination, to their exclusion
from the convention, as that would in
{ evitably lose New York. To-dsy's Gin
cinnati Enquirer is evidently alarmed by
the strength of the movement developing
in favor of Joseph i. Mcdonald, of
Indiana. Editorially it urgis that the
latter and Bayard should both be with
drawn. Rsyard, because his nomina-
ton would raise the civil war issue, aud
give the republicans good opportunity
to wave the bloody shirt; and Mcdonald,
because his choice would be treachery to
Hendricks, and so dispirit his friends as
to lose the state. 1t claims, too, that
McDoDald's candidacy would mean
weakness everywhere. McDonald's
chances look more promising than Gar
fields did at Chicago, the argument in
ais behalf being that his personal popU-
larity at home, if nominated without his
own agency, will secure the state which
at present is conceded to be very doubt
full. There is much dissatisfaction in the
New York, delegation over the vote to
press Payne's nomination. AS the dele
gates are compelled to vote against their
| Will. Their remonstrances are likely to |
| be efectual whenever it Is seen that this |
holding the solid vote for Payne, with |
the view of transferring it TO Tilden, must |
fail 10 nominate the latter. Tilden's in |
| tiuence 10 the convention is Enthusiastically |
strong. The Morrison men from Illinois |
slfo have considerable hope to day that |
he may be made the compromise candi-
date. They urge that his record is
unAsssilable upon all points, and thus no
reasonable objection can be made to him
east or west. Field has the promise of
over 100 votes on the first ballot. Even
if these engagements are FL ed it still
looks as though be could never get 8
majority and the twC-thirds rue is 10 be
adhered TO rigid,y. A canvass with q
view to its abrogation shows an ina
mense majority in Its favor.
10 O'clock-Not twenty delegates are
in their seats. The galleries are two
thirds full The weather warm and |
sultry. 1t is understood the committee
on credentials will report Immediately
after the permanent organization is
effected. The latform committee are
still at work on their resolutions. The
usual demonstrations of applause were
made as prominent gentlemen came in,
and when the banners of the Randall and
other political clubs passed up the asies.
The fact is unmistakable, however, that
there is much less OF this sort of outside
pressure for individual candidates than
tn re was st Chicago.
The womsn's suffrage representatives
we're honored with applause from the
audience and took their seats. After
brilliant voluntary on the organ, the
military bands Played various national
and operate airs. Yankee Doodle"
alone seemed to arouse the audience.
The following fills: the blanks on the
Vice presidents, Frederick Cook, New
York; j. 9. Hsgerman, Nevada; secre-
taIies, Frank Rics, New York; +. F.
Hip, Nevada; Edward Bigler; substi-
tute, E. Jackson for Thomas, as Mary
lands secretary.
The convention was called to order at
10.40 when all delegates appeared to be
on hand. Prayer was offered By Rev.
DR.. Charles Taylor, of Scott Street Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, who implored
blessing on the large assembly of re-
preventative men from all parts of the |
land; that its members may bs patriotic
and exhibit strict conscientiousness; that
they might have grace to act as under
divine guidance and with respect TO their
responsibilities; that they might be
granted good will, mutual forbearance,
spirit Of Cancellation and regard for the
views and opinions of each other; that
all bitterness might be suppressed; that
perfect good will might prevail, and a /!
spirit of self-sacrifce and Of yielding per
sonal preference to the greatest good of )
all concerned; that their deliberations
might result in the highest good of the
naIion, and that all concerned might be ,
true 10 themselves, true 10 their fellow
men, true to the principles by which they ,
pr0fessed to be governed, true 10 their
country and true TO God.
On motion, the reading Of the minutes
of yesterday was dispensed with.
Stoutenberg, of Indiana, moved a res
olution that surviving soldiers of the
Mexican war, AMI widows and orphans,
should be held by Congress on the same
footing as soldiers of 1872. Referred to
the platform committee.
The chairman announced that the first |
business in order was the report of the
committee on credentials, and asked if
il was ready to report. There was an
interval of several minutes before there
was any response. Meantime the chair
ordered the reading Of a telegram from
Reynolds Basin, n. Y: Bonfire ready
10 be lighted, with three cheers for the
democratic nominee" Laughter and
spplause.l
Judge HoSdley announced that the
chairman of the credentials committee
was not in the house, and called on the
committee on permanent organization.
Martin, of Delaware, chairman of said
committee, unanimously reported the
permanent organization,
SteVenson's name as president was re-
ceived with applause.
When the report had been read,
Young. of Georgia, as 8 question Of priv ;
liege, demanded to be permitted to pre-
sent the report Of the committee on per-
manent credentials.
The chair said the report on permsnent
organization was before the house, and
asked the conventions will.
Martin moved that this report be
adopted, and on than asked the previous
question, which he subsequently, with
drew.
Jetfries, Of Louisiana, moved TO post
pone further proceedings on the report |
on permanent organizations until the
convention had received and acted on the
committee on credentials. Adopted.
Young, of Georgia, as chairman, pre-
sented the majority report Of the COM
mittee on credentials, which was read as
| follows: MISUNDERSTANDING delegations

sets, one known as the Faneuil Hall
