 CINCINNATI, June 23.-The crush for ad- mission to Music Hall was greater to-day than yesterday, although the weather was sultry and oppressive. The convention was called to order at 1O:40. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Covington, Ky. The Chair announced that the first business in order was the report of the committee on credentials and asked if it was ready to re-
 port. There was an interval of several min
 utes before there was any response. At 10:54
 o'clock, Judge Hoadley announced that the chairman of the credentials committee was
 not in the hall, and called on the committee
 on permanent organization. The committee
 on permanent organization reported through
 their chairman, Mir. Martin, in favor of ex- Governor Stevenson for president and one
 vice president and secretary from each State,
 Connecticut's vice president being Curtis
 Bacon and her secretary Samuel Simpson. A
 motion was adopted that further proceedings
 on the report be postponed until the conven-
 ton had acted on the report of the creden-
 tials committee MT. Young, of Georgia, as
 chairman, presented the report of the com
 mittee on credentials. They reported that
 there were two delegations from Massachu-
 setts They admit both delegations by agree
 ment between the two the united delegations
 to cast the vote of the State. They also re-
 ported in favor of the sitting delegates from
 the Twenty-sixth district of Pennsylvania. In the case of New York the committee had
 carefully weighed the whole evidence and
 with singular unanimity had voted to allow
 the sitting members to retain their seats. (Great applause.) There were no other con-
 testants, anywhere, and the committee report the full list of delegates entitled to seats. MT. Carroll, of Kansas presented minori- ty report. He proceeded to argue that the
 position of the Tammany men at this time is
 precisely analogous to the condition of the
 New York contestants in 1856, when the con- testants were admitted to half the seats of New York in the convention, an action which
 united the party and led to victory. In clos
 ing the report presented a resolution dividing the vote by 50 to 20, the latter for the Shakes peare Hall Tammany) organization. The minority report was signed by Messrs Carol of Kansas. Fell of New Jersey, Barella of Colorado and Davidson of Arkansas.
 Mir. Young demanded the previous ques- tion, saying that the committee had devoted all night to this work and he believed had done it well. The previous question was or dered and the roll was called resulting yeas 36O, nays 295. Mir. Young said that under the rules of the House there was one hour for debate, of which he proposed that two thirds be given to the contestants and their friends. Applause.) The debate on the contest then began
 MT. George W. Miller, of Albany, first spoke for Tammany. He urged first the right of free speech, and claimed that the contestants came here with the same earnest desire that animated all the delegates. He ! said they intended to support the nominees \ of this convention If the convention would observe the Democratic precedents and give the contestants here an opportunity to par ticipate in it's proceedings he could assure them that the Democracy would carry the State of New York. He proceeded to urge that the sitting delegates here were the rep resentatives of machine politics, against which public sentiment was protesting in the Democratic as well as in the Republican I party. Unless some compromise of this question should be made here it would be impossible to prevent the running of two Democratic electoral tickets in New York, and this would tend to defeat He and his friends could not control this result, try they might, unless this convention should give them the twenty seats recommended by ! the minority report. Give them these and ] they could draw out and make effective the magnificent Democratic vote of New York, ' which would secure 8 victory next autumn. ! Amasa J. Parker of New York, and MT. Hubbard of Texas, followed on the same side, advocating peaceable and honorable adjustment of the contest and asked that at least 20 of the 70 votes be given to them. John R. Fellowes spoke for the majority | report. He claimed that the whole question | involved was as to whether the sovereign ma | iority of New York is great enough to create ! for itself representation in the National con- vention, or whether that right shall be wrest- ed from her to be exercised by her sister ' States Applause He proceeded to dis | cuss the causes of the division in New York, reciting the facts of the State convention at | Syracuse, at which Kelly and his friends se- | ceded, claiming that the sitting delegates were the only rightful representatives of New York. He appealed to South Carolina and other Southern delegations as advocates of State rights to stand by the principle in- ! volved He was followed by MT. Young, who closed the debate in a three minute \ speech.
 The Chair said that the question was first upon substituting the minority for the ma jority report and ordered the roll called. New ! York was excused from voting. The Chair announced the result, ayes 2O54, noes 457, so the motion to substitute the minority report ! was rejected.
 The question recurring on the adoption of l the majority report, 1t was adopted by viva voce vote. Great applause Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, offered resolution that the delegation from the State of New York, of which Amasa J. Parker is chairman be in- vited to seats on the floor of the convention during it's session. Mir. Young favored it and I it was adopted. On motion of MT. Martin, of Delaware, the report and resolution from the committee on permanent organization was then adopted.
 Senator McDonald of Indiana, Senator M c. Butler of South Carolina and Major Thom- ! as O'Connor of Tennessee, were appointed to | conduct Mr. Stevenson to the chair as per- manent chairman. MT. Stevenson said:
 am profoundly conscious of the honor aud respon-
 
 my personal merits, but that it is tribute to the l grand old Commonwealth from which for its unwavering devotion see in the mass of uplifted faces before me determination that the flag which you shall put out shall be carried triumphantly to \ victory see many well known faces who years ago met in council in this city putting up ticket and
 trustino to two grand leaders, Democratic
 party ever elected took their seats. Party may ehanee and men may change but principles rarely ! ever change I am sorry to see that there men now who trample public opinion and have succeed ed in deprving the men who were elected to these
 high offices from enjoying the high confidence of the 1 people. Four years ago the people of the United States elected two distinguished citizens President | and Vice President Of the United States, but
 they were allowed to exercise the duties of those high positions. Tilden and Hendricks preferred to
 give up the high offices to which they had been elect
 ed rather than by revolutionary and bloody struggle
 to give comfort to those who denied the right of the people to such government and whiie the statesman from New York and the statesman from Indiana have
 acouesced in that decision to what the Democ
 racy have always said that ready obedience to law
 essential to the preservation of the Unon fellow cit
 zens YOU hay high privilege to right the wrong,
 and you will be recreant to the high behests of the
 party whose representatives you if do not put
 up ticket that sweep this country We are tired of
 interference with the popular right of sovereignty
 We tired of military who seek to coerce free men,
 have do my friends of the Democratic party to | nominate 6 grand, enlightened pure, experienced
 Democrat, who every inch shan be patriot, worthy
 the support of yourselves worthy the support of the I country. That know yoH will do.
