BALLOTING COMMENCES.
The convention ut once proceeded to call
OF States for ballot for President.
During the calling Of the roll the conven-
ZION was at first disposed to become bois-
ferrous AMI to cheer the votes as they were
announced. There was avery enthusiastic
outbreak when California voted s0lidly for
Blaine, but finally having found that these
demonstrations were delaying the an
nouncement of the result the conventions
curiosity overcame its enthusiasm and the
confusion was considerably ubated and the
call proceeded in good order.
When Virginia was reached in the call
Of States demand was at once made for
a poll OF the delegation. During the poll,

tional convention was called TO order at
1880 by Chairman Thurston, and hush
fell upon the assemblage when Rev.

resolutions referring to the formation OF
the platform which the chair said would be
referred TO the committee on resolutions.
A motion was made and seconded that
the committee on permanent organization
be called upon to make a report. But q
protest came from Mr.. Harris, Of North
Carolina, that the committee on permanent
organization should not report until the
committee on credentials should have been
heard from. He did not wish to force q
gag law upon the convention. but he moved
that the motion be laid upon the table

Republican conventions the report OF the
committee on permanent organization had
reported before the committee on creden-
tails had completed its labor. He was in

was delivered by Rev. Thomas E. Green, Of
Chicago.
Under the direction of the charms the

States in order that the delegations might
designate the member to represent each

work having been disposed Of, Mr.. McKin-
ley, of Ohio, chairman OF the resolutions
committee, read the platform as follows:
THE PLATFORM.
The Republicans of the United States assem-
bled by their delegates in National convention
pause On the threshold Of their proceedings to
honor the memory Of their first ,reat leader.
the immortal champion OF liberty and the rights
Of the people-Abraham Lincoln-and to cover
also with wreaths of imperishable remembrance
and gratitude the heroic names of our late lead
ers who have more. recently been called away
from our councils-Grant Garfield, Arthur,
Logan. Conkling. May their memories be
faithfully cherished. We also recall with our
greetings and with prayer for his recovery. the
name Of one Of our living heroes whose men,
ory will be treasured in the history both of Re-
publicans and of the Republic-the name Of that
noble soldier and favorite child Of victory
Philip H. Sheridan.
In the spirit OF those great leaders and Of our
own devotion to human liberty and with that
hostility to all forms OF despotism and Oppres
sion. which is the fundamental idea OF the Re-
publican party, we send fraternal congratula-
tons to our fellow Americans Of Brazil upon
their great &C: Of emancipation, which COM
pletes the abolition Of slavery throughout the
two American continents.
We earnestly hope that We may soon con-
graduate our fellow citizens OF Irish birth upon
the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland.
We reaffirm our answering devotion to the
National Constitution and to the indissolrble
Union Of the States, to the autonomy reserved
to the States under the Constitution. to the
personal rights and liberties of citizens in all
the States and Territories in the Union, and
especially to the supreme and sovereign right
Of every lawful citizen. rich or poor, native or
foreign born. white or black, to cast one free
ballot in public elections and to have that bal
lot duly counted.
We hold the free and honest popular ballot
and the just and equal representation OF all the
people to be the foundation OF our republican
government, and demand effective legislation
TO secure the integrity and purity Of elections,
which are the fountains Of all public authority.
We charge that the present Administration
and the Democratic majority in Congress owe
their existence to the suppression Of the ballot
BY criminal notification Of the Constitution
and laws Of the United States
