EVENING SESSION.
The delegates returned 20 the scene
Of their labors little YEARLY as the
hour for reassembling approached, and
the thousands Of lookers-on, who have
been In attendance during the exciting
struggle for supremacy returned 20 the
Convention Hall even more lcisurcly
than the delegates. Many Of them did
not return at all, and when At 5:35 p. m.
the Convention was
CALLED TO ORDER,
the number Of persons present IN the gal.
lerIes was scarcely third OF those who
attended the afternoon proceedings.

Between the conclusion Of the roll-call
and the official announcement 81 the vote
there was scene probably unparalleled
ID the history Of political conventions;
one impossible OF imagination and indie
scribabe BY pen.
LIKE 4 FLAsH on LIGHTNING,
the representatives Of every delegation
On the door, bearing aloft the shields and
banners embIcmatic Of their States,
moved to the center OF the halt, and
surrounded the Indiana delegation.
For fifteen continuous minutes cheer
after cheer echoed throughout the hall
and was communicated to the thou
sands on the outside. Then taxing adj
vantage Of the temporary lull the musi-
clans struck up the familiar and soul
stirring strains Of
AULp LANG sySE.
The effect was electrical; the scene one
never 10 be forgotten. The audience
took np the song and In moment Ii was
pealing forth from $4,000 Threats. Dee-
gates from Texas clasped the hands Of
those from New York. The men OF Maine
fell upon the necks oftheir conlrercs from
the Territories, and strong men who, but
few hours before had been
firing grapc-shot invectIvc into
one another, sat hack In their chairs with
the tears pouring down their cheeks. on
the platform the delegates stood clasplng
one another hands, each voice trying to
outvic the others. As the refrain "In
the Name OF Auld Lang Syne" was
reached there was circle composed Of
President Was, Henry Watterson, Gen.
eral Black, Colonel CIumle, Of California;
Waller, Of Connecticut, and ex-Goycrnor
Hubbard, Of Texas. A yard away Ben
Butler was
wRtSGrxG THE nA~D
Of : delegate from Colorado. Even that
stauuch old leader Of the Republicanpar-
~, II. b. Washburnc, 81 Minnesota, who
had been on the stage thrs ug tout the
Convention, joined Ia the ovation with
his tremulous voice, as he waved his
handkerchief over his head. Suddenly
TnE RAND CHANGED THE AIR
| from "Auld Lang Syne" 10 "Amcrica,"
and again the audience took up the pa
| triotic refrain with, II possible, more
hcartiness than before. After this came
ssloME SWEET moMK,"
and now the gathering, excrting Its voice
| with might and main, completely
| drowned the music Of the band. The
| soprano notes Of
SEVERAL HUNDRED LADIES,
| who were scattered about the hall, rang
1 out high and clear above the deeper
tones Of the men. As the mingled voices
