TRIBUTE TO D
With profound regret we have been apprised
Dy the venerable statesman through whose person
was struck that blow at the vital principle Of the
republics acquiescence in the will of the major
n.y. IVY tnat ne cannot permit US again to place in
ms ms hanas 1he leadership Of the Democratic hosts
TOR the reason that the achievement of reform in
the administration OF the federal government ia
an undertaking too heavy for his age and failing
strength. Rejoicing that his life has been pro-
longed until the general Judgment of our fellow
countrymen is united in the wish that that
wrong were righted in his person for the Democ-
withdrawal from public cares not only our re-
spectful sympathy and esteem, but also that best
homage OF free men, the pledge of our devotion
in the history of this republic from the labors
and the name of Samuel J. Tilden. With a state
ment OF the hopes, principles and purposes Of
and change i'll administration is submitted to
the people in calm confidence that the popular
voice Will prodounce in favor of new men and
of industry, the extension of trade and due re-
ward of labor and of capital and the general
welfare Ella q the whole country
yielded to Gen. Butler to present a minority
report. He further outlined the programme by
saying: Gen. Butler will have 30minutes to ex-
plan his report after it is read; Mr.. Converse
of Ohio will have five minutes i'll which to
speak and Mr.. Watterson of Kentucky ten, af-
ter which l shall move the previous question
and call for the adoption of the report.
All this was carried out and the
previous question ordered. The vote was
then taken by states on Buffers substitute and
it was rejected-ayes, 97115s ;noes, 7141a. When
the vote of Indiana was being announced
Senator Voorhees, stated that he wished special
!y to have his vote recorded in the atfirma-
tive. The question was REQUIRED on the adop-
ton of the majority report and it was adopted
without opposition.
The convention then prodceded to ballot for
President, and deep silence was maintained
during the following announcement Of the vote
by the clerk:
Cleveland. 1872 Tilden. ...."..... 1
Rayard. Hendricks .......... 1

The programme had been kept in this-that
Cleveland did not get a majority on the first
ballot. The result was received with q good
