name there was good deal of
 applause, but the demonstration was not equal in volume to that accorded to the pre- oeding nominee During a pause in Mr.
 Hatch's remarks a crowd of several hundred men outside the line of delegates shouted loudly for Swinburne, the laboring mems candidate. This crowd was composed, how ever, of well dressed and otherwise well be- haved men. Another incident of the speech was the hearty applause aroused by the casual mention of ex-President Arthur's name. Andrew s. Draper, of Albany, was to nominate Dr. John Swinburne of Albany county. At the mention of this name there was frantic burst of applause from the doe tors friends outside the convention and the band again played. Mir. Draper proceeded to describe Dr. Swim oarnes eminent services as quarantine officer of New York and as surgeon in charge of New York troops in the late war and also to his humane efforts during the siege or Paris. The doctors establishment of free hospital where sixty-fve persons have been treated free of charge was also referred to as showing his public spirit and bsnevolsnce. MT. Draper's prediction that Dr. SMinburne would yet be as eminent in politics as he " as in surgery drew forth loud applause. Flu gene Burlingame, of Albany, seconded Swlnburne's nomintion in short and well arranged speech
 Senator Arkell then took the platform to nominate Joseph W. Drexsl, of New York. He took occasion to lightly ridieule the adulation which some of the previous speeches had contained for the re 5pective nominees. He preferred to speak of the man of his choice as an ordi- nary man of fosh and blood. As such he pointed out his good qualities, his public spirit and his availability as 8 successful can- didate. His remarks were witty, eloquent and well applauded. Corporal Tanner sec- onded the nomination of Davenport. The msimed veteran answered the cries of Platform! Platforml" by per tinent reference to the diff culty he would have in getting to the plat. form. He was therefore allowed to speak from the floor. Ho praised Davenport as a friend of the poor, using his wealth SO as to make it a blessing and not curse to the less fortunate portions of the community Dav- exports iberality to the institutions for the
 MT. Edward Mitchell, of New York, was next heard. His no ninee was Cornelius N. Bliss, whom he described as for twenty-five years an active and effective supporter of Re- publicanism without ever having required the inducement of office. The business and personal qualifications of Mr. Bliss received full illustration at the hands of Mir. Mitchell. Serene E. Payne presented the name of Gen. eral William H. Seward of Cayuga, whose civil and military record he eulogized at great length. He declared that Seward in 1864 defeated the onward rebel movement toward Washington and saved the capital and he urged that he now be chosen to lead the Republicans to victory in this State and thereby save the capital once more from the hands of their opponents.
 A motion to adjourn until morning was here very decidedly voted down viva voce. A motion for an hours recess was likewise de- feated. MT. George Bliss, of the committee on resolutions, stated that the committee hoped for an early adjournment in order to give time for the committee to hear the rep resentatives of the labor interests and soldiers before formulating platform (applause.) MT. Fassett moved that one ballot be taken and an adjournment then had until morning; lost by strong dissenting viva voce vote. A motion to proceed to ballot was then adopted and a call of the roll by districts began. The roll call resulted as follows: Davenport 104, Carr 2O5, Seward 57, Swim burne 32, Low 16, Warren 137, Drexel 37, Bliss 5, Cornell 4, Evarts i, Starin 1, Charles Andrews 1, Morton 42 Whole mum Der of votes cast 691; necessary for choice BAY.
