speakers being frequently drowned by
the tumultuous applause.

Third Day.
CHICAGO, I'LL, July TO-
The Convention was called to order at
| precisely ll.07 a. m. when nearly all the
| delegates were in their seats. The scene
was the liveliest of any that has been wit
messed SO far. The galleries were full
and there was confusion everywhere. A
| large force of police and assistant SER
| geaRts-at-arms were distributed, and
| everything was done to preserve order.
DR.. Lorimer, the distinguished South
Side Baptist minister opened the pro-
ceedings with prayer.
The Committee on Platform reported
| that they were not ready to submit the
platform, aud would not report it before
Up. m. Leave to sit during the day was
| granted.
A motion to admit to the hall all
refused.
NOMINATIONS.
The Chair ruled that the call of States
for nominations must now proceed, and
after a short discussion ON a resolution
| of Mr.. Louden providing for the printing
of the platform, the call of States was
proceeded with.
The business of making nominations
was opened by General C. G. Mansur, of
Missouri, who seconded the nomination
of Thurman. Mansur was suffering
from extreme hoarseness and the effort
to speak loud enough to enable Is, 900
people to hear was evidently . painful
one. He characterized Thurman as the
Bismarck of America, amid prolonged
cheering, and seconded his nomina-
ton.
Thomas G. Powell, of Ohio, took the
platform to nominate Hoadey. He did
not get even ripple of applause.
RANDALL NOMINATED.
Ex-senator Wallace, in presenting
Randall's name, was applauded again
and again, and at once plunged into an
eloquent speech, the best yet heard on
the floor and the most warmly received.
The clerk announced the names of can
didates as follows: Thomas T. Bayard,
Joseph E. Mcdonald, John q. Carlisle,
Grover Cleveland, Allan G. Thurman, S.
J. Randall, George Hoadly.
A motion to adjourn prevailed, and
at 1925 the big hall was emptied amid the
playing of bands, the shouting of the
multitude and the gayest commotion.
EVENING SESSION.
1t was not until SPA O'Clock that the
Convention was in a condition to justify
President Villas in calling it to order. In
the interval the Tammany men were sur
rounded by large number of delegates
and an important conference was appar-
emily in progress. r. II. Henry, of Mis-
sissippi, as soon as the Convention was
in order submitted the following resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved l. That this Convention has
read with profound regret and intense
admiration the statesmanlike and patriotic
letter of Samuel j. Tilden, expressing
the overpowering and providential neces-
sity which constrains him to decline the
nomination for the highest Office in the
gift of the American people. Zap

2. That though fraud, force and
violence deprived Samuel j. Tilden and
Thomas A. Hendricks of the offices con-
ferred upon them by the Democratic
party of the Nation in 1876, they yet live,
and ever will live first in the hearts
OF the Democracy of the country. Zap
plause.1
8. That this Convention expresses the
Nations regret that this same lofty pa
triotlsm and splendid executive and ad-
ministracive ability which cleansed and
purified the city and State governments
of the great Empire State, cannot now be
| turned upon the Augean stable of national
fraud and corruption so long and sue
cessfully maintained by the Republican
party at the National Capitol.
f. That copy of these resolutions be
suitably engrossed, and that the Chair
man of the Convention appoint a COM
of the Convention to forward or present
the same to the Hon. Samuel j. Tilden
and the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks.
