the general lines OF his campaign. The
talk of an independent ticket is still in
embryo form, and lacks the powerful
influence that Nav York, MassBch usetts,

in that direction was taken at meeting
OF the Illinois men, including Comp

pared favoring the nomination of indie

Although 10 o'clock was the hour
fixed for the convention to assemble
this morning, sb twenty minutes after
100 delegates in the pit snd the CALLER
les were not half filed. The delegates
had been worn out by the exciting
struggles and public interest seemed to
have oulminated yesterday in the nomi
nation of the presidential candidate.
The decision OF John R. Mclean, OF
Ohio, who was the most formidable
candidate last night, not TO allow his
name to be presented for the vice
presidential nomination, left an open
field for the sscord houor.
AS the hands of the CLOCK pointed IL
o'clock Chairman White called the Coz
ventlon to order. There wese only
about 5000 people in the hall.
More than halt of 5hs gold delegates !
were absent. Contrary to custom, the
proceedings were not opened with pray
ar. Nominations for the Vics Presi-
denoy were called for after motion
made by Jones, Of Arkansas, had been
adopted, limiting the nomination
speeches so five minutes each. O'S1l-
livsn, the fiery young delegate from
Massaohutses, who had of ten attracted
the eye of the convention, by his out
breaks of enthusiasm, walked to the
platform to nominate George Frederick
Williams.
He told how Williams fought The cor
porations of Mississippi.
