which seemed to feel in duty bound to do
something, and rose up ifty-nine strong and
gave their favorite son hearty yell.
LOUDER -
"A backward movement in the roll was
made at this stage and Gov. Abbott, of New
Jersey, recorded the nomipation of Mr.. Ran
dali. Gov. Abbott has an excellent voice,
but he had uttered scarcely half a dozen
words, when there was prolonged yell from
one of the galleries, calling Slouder." This
was repeated two or three times and was pro-
nounced with drawl upon the words so that
it took half minute to utter it. Gov. Ab-
bott retorted with rather coarse fifty year
old joke that when Gabriel blows his trumpet
on. the day of resurrection some jackass
in the audience will yell 'slouder.'
This made laugh, ,as much as new joke,
but it quieted the jackass on the present oc-
casion during the rest of the speech. His
speechw rather tedious and proliX, and calls
of "time" were frequently made during its
progress. The only hearty applause he re-
ceived was when he announced that the
state of New Jersey appreciated the services
of Gov. Cleveland. This was applauding in
the wrong place, but he was plimenting
all the candidates in turn and could not
skip the leading one. Some one in the gal
lery called for three cheers for Thurman
while he was speaking, but no one respond

THE LABOR PROBLEM.
fhe New York fight was brought to the
front again, this time by a delegate from
Massachusetts, in presenting j. w. Cum
mings, who rose to second the nomination
of Bayard. He announced that with Bayard
they could carry Massachusetts, but if Cleve.
land was thrust upon them then the labor
element, whom he represented, would go
against him and they would be defeated.
This sentiment was received with applause
and Kisses, the Kisses, if anything, being
more numerous than the applause. When
he declared, eff we accept the torn garment
of New York we have lost the country" the
applause and Kisses were again renewed.

HANK AND THE RUMORS.
a moment after the gentleman Of Mass
achusetts took his seat, there were loud cheers
in the gallery, and looking up l discovered
Wade Hampton upon his feet
The Chairman-"The gentleman from
South Carolina-will the gentleman please
give his name"
Wade Hampton-'H Hampton, of South
Carolina" Laughterl.
The failure of the chair to recognize Wade
Hampton. of South Carolina, was almost as
bad as the temporary chairman not being
acquainted with "Chicago's best mayor"
Loud calls of ''platform'' were made when it
vas supposed that Hampton was intending
to make a speech, but he announced that
South Carolina had no candidate to present
and only decided to have one of her dele
gates, Mr.. Yeomans, second the nomination
OF Bayard, at the request of Delaware.
Mr.. Yeomans came to the front and de-
livered very uninteresting speech. About
the only novel sentiments that he introduced
in his remarks was, that the candidate he
was supporting was a ''foeman worthy of
our steel" and also that he wore "tbe white
plume of Henry of Navarre.'' / have been
looking for this particular Henry to come to
the front ever since Yesterday morning. He
had heap of duty to perform at the Republi-
can convention last month, and I've been
fpr Iyalh har ct,
day. Brontige, of Connecticut, the first
man on deck in the June con-
vention, trotted Henry out, in
connection with Joe Hawley. He had the
advantage of the other speakers by being
first; the rest of them had all worked
in 'Henry of Navarro" in their preparations
and they could not cut it out without mixing
themselves up. The consequence was that
there were as many ''Henry of Navarres"
loafng about the throne in June as there are
''noblest Romans prancing about in July.
1t was perhaps because Brontige had got the
Ohio, mixed those children up, and put the
celebrated plnme of Navarro on
Garfield instead of Blaine, and
so lost, by being obliged to correct himself,
''the greatest effort of his life.'' l should
have been sorry to have seen this conven-
ton adjourn without giving Hank and his
plume chance. l don't remember to have
ever visited Navarro, but mean to go there
sometime and see If the pumes grow wild
like Canada thistles. If Hank and the
'noblest Roman" could form a partnership
aud set up in politics, think they could
scoop all there is going.
IDENTIFIED AT LAST.
When the vote was being taken by states
yesterday, the reading clerk called out Ar
Kansas there was no reponse. Again, stena-
torian tone, rang out Arkansas" and still
there was silence. The reading clerk scratch
ed his head and thought moment when an
adiea seemed to strike him he thsh shouted
"Arkansa1o," end the flval had scarcely left
his lips before the chairman of the delegation
from the fiddler state jumped up and re-
sponded. Consequently when the next dele
gate arose, Col. Villas, who had noticed the
error of the reading clerk the previous day,
said: ''The gentleman from ArkanSap"
''The gentleman from 'Arkansaic'' proved
to be W. NJ. Rose who wanted to second the
nomination of Gov. Cleveland, but who
spoke so low that 1 doubt whether any one,
save the stenographic .eporters knew who
he was in favor of. Nearly ever one who
had ticket that would enable them to go
out and get refreshments and return again,
took advantage of the eloquent occasion
while the gentleman from ArkarAGC was on
the floor to disappear, and half the conven-
ton were absent while the other half
dsd not hear single word he
uttered. So far as voice was concerned, he
would do very wen to pcrsonate Sam. Tilden,
and if he only had had the makeup of the
Sage of Grammercy Park and got on the
