THE THIRD CONVENTION.
denomination of Abraham Lincoln at
Baltimore,

The convention of 1864 met at Balti-
more on the nth of June. 1t was called
to order by Edwin ID. Morgan, of New
York, who nominated Robert j. Breck-
inridge, of Kentucky. as temporary
president. There was some discussion
as to the admission of the delegates
from the States belonging to the South
ern Confederacy. After speeches by
W. g. Brownlow and Horace Maynard,
the delegation from Tennessee was adj
mitted, and later from several other
slave States. ThurIow Weed was in
the convention working for General
W. S. Hancock for Nice-President.
DELEGATIONS from Massachusetts, Iowa,
and Connecticut were urging General
Benjamin T. Butler for the same posi-
ton. On permanent organization,
William Dennison, of Ohio, was made
chairman. and was escorted to the
chair by Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsyl-
vania, and James II. Lane, of Kansas.
The platform was presented by Henry
~. Raymond, of New York. This de-
clared it the highest duty of every
American citizen to maintain against
all enemies the integrity of the Union,
and to do everything in his power to
aid the government in quelling by
force all forms of rebellion. 1t in
dorsed the policy of the administra-
ton; declared in favor of an amend
ment to the constitution to terminate
and forever prohibit the existence of
slavery within the limits or jurisdic-
ton of the United States; returned
thanks to the soldiers and sailors of
the army and navy, and especially APP
proved the proclamation of the eman-
cipation and the position taken by the
administration against the encroach-
ment of the European government on
American soil.
The question of nominating candi-
dates for President and ce-President
came before the convention in reso-
luton sent up by Simon Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, which declared Abra-
ham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine, the unanimous
choice of the convention for President
and Vice-President. The question, af-
ter debate, was divided, and the vote
on the first portion was 494 votes for
Lincoln and % votes from Missouri
for Ulysses S. Grant. AS soon as the
ballot was announced the vote of Mis-
souri, was changed to Lincoln. An
drew johnson, of Tennessee, was nom
mated for Vice-President on the first
ballot, receiving 400 votes, to II for
Dickinson and 9 for Hamlin.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.
Description of the Hall in Whcl it s 70
be Held.

The st. Louis convention auditorium
is probably the largest auditorium
ever built specially for a political con-
vention. The structure covers an area
of 260NtS0 feet-46,S 800 square feet. 1t
is located on Twelfth street and Clark
avenue, just south of the new city
hall, and within easy walking distance
of all the large downtown hotels. The
auditorium was designed by Architect
Isaac Taylor, and is in the renaissance.
There were about 100000 feet of lum-
Der used in the construction of the
building. The outer walls are covered
with stuff to represent massive stone
work The cost, $4,000, was subscrib-
ed by the merchants and business men
of st. Louis. The structure is very
strong, and will seat 1861 persons.
There are an abundance of large win
dows for the admission of light and
air. In the matter of entrance and
exits not a detail has been overlooked.
Every possible contingency has been
provided for and it is safe to say that
better facilities for ingress ana egress
were never embodied in so large a
building. There are four main en-
frances, one on each of the four sides
of the building. In addition
to these there are five entrances
and five exits on each of the four sides
leading to and from the ground floor
In all, there are tewnty-four entrances
to the ground floor, and as many exits.
The hall will be divided into twenty
sections, and each section will have
a separate entrance and exit, so that,
according to the architect, the hall
may be filled or emptied in less than
ten minutes. The gallery win be
reached by twelve separate entrances
and six flights of stairs, eleven feet
wide. and can be filled with almost
equal celebrity.
In the auditorium will be 1861
seats, about 1000 of which will be for
guests. The speakers stand is on the
north side of the building, immediate
ly opposite the main entrance on Clark
avenue. Directly in front of the
speakers stand are arranged the seats
of the delegates, facing the speaker,
and on either side of the seats of the
delegates are the seats of the alter
mates. Eighteen hundred feet of floor
space in the center of the building is
occupied by the delegates and alter
mates, and the seats in this portion
are all on level. Back of the speak |

DISTINGUISHED to-day"
The first controversy of the conven-
tion was over the contest in Virginia.
The National committee had placed
upon the list of delegates the delegation
headed by Gen. William Malone; this
was objected to by John S. Wise, who
claimed to be chairman of the lawful
Virginia delegation. After discussion
the matter was referred to the commit
tee on credentials. On June goth the
committee on permanent organization
named Morris NJ. Estee, of California,
as permanent chairman. The Vir-
ginia controversy came up again, the
committee on credentials reporting in
favor of the Malone delegates-at-large
