He went forward on clutches and
assembled the platform. When order
was restored Hampton said South
Carolina had no preference, no can
didate. Recognizing the enthusiasm
with which Hancock's name had
been received, he would say the
south would feel safe With Hancock,
for they had been under him when
be was in power. They appreciate
the ability OF Thurman and the fit
ness Of all the candidates who had
been named, but South Carolina
favored Bsyard, because they be-
lieved his the strongest name bsfore
the contention. (AppIause }

Stringfellow, of Virginia, took the
platform to second the nomination of
Field, who had been in peace and
war defender of that old Constitu-
ton which Old Virginia had defended
60 long and intended to defend for
ever. The confusion was too great to
permit much OF the speakers rs
marks to be heard, nobody appearing
to be listening, and everybody talking
with everybody else, with no attempt
to preserve order.
Donel. Of Virginia, followed. The
convention was embarrassed by the
variety and brilliancy OF the names

names had been presented, be still
believed that the strongest nomina-
ton that could be made here would
be that of Hancock. (Grea. ap-

but Hancock of the whole United
States. Applause J He was the
first after the war to salute with bis
stainless sword the majesty of the

ment that the country was tired of
the rule Of the camp and opposed to

that Washington himself was the
typical soldier, and yet she civil mag

the land, We move on the enemy's
works tomorrow. Applause. Nomi-

the music Of the cheers of the boys
who were the blue mingliDg with
those of they who wore the grey.
(Applause.)
Goode, OF Virginia, next took the
platform, and supported Mr.. Thur
mans nomination. Under him there
would be no north, no south, no east,
no west, but one Union. (Cries of
thine, time" in the face OF which
Goode closed.
The chair then announced the
names that we're in nomination for
president of the United States. Tue
names of Hendricks, Thurman and
Hancock were each received with
considerable applause, that for Han
cock being by far the greatest and
most enthusiastic and apparently
the most spontaneous and natural.
Breckenridge moved that the con-
vention now proceed to ballot, and
urged the importance of proceeding
with business aud getting through
with it as quickly as possible. Some
urged that they should first adopt the
platforms. Breckenridge insisted on
having a ballot now. There we're no
differences of opinion in the party
now, which made the adoption of thu
platform before the nomination a
necessity.
Hoadley moved that the conyeu-
ton adjourn until 10 O'Clock to-mor.
