and Payne were both spoken of as can
didates and voted for In the convention.
Mr.. Payne received 81 votes and Mr..
Thurman $50 on the first ballot. There
was quite field of candidates, including
Bayard. Field, Morrison, Ewing, Nc
Donald, Thurman, Payne, Randall and
Hancock. There was a great desire on
the part of many Of the delegates to place
the old ticket Tilden and Hendricks, In
the field, but Mr.. Tilden sent a letter to
the convention declining to be a candi-
date. On the third day of the conven-
ton, on the second ballot, 1t nominated
Gen. Winfield S. Hancock. When it be-
came evident that he was nominated
there was high carnival of enthusiasm.
THE SCENE WAS A WILD ONE.
1.-The great audience rose to its feet
and waved hats, banners and everything
that could be put to that use. John
Kelly, of Tammany hall, was at Gin
cinnati, as usual, to oppose Tilden, and
he was happy, of course. Col. John r.
Fellows and John Kelly clasped hands
over the bloody chasm and promised
New York for Hancock. There are those
who believe that if Judge Hoadley had
not been too conservative in his bar
gaining with New York state Mr.. Payne
would have been the nominee instead Of

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The habit
of Senators of coming on the floor late
gave some Of them quite a shock
Saturday, when with oaly about a
dozen in their seats, Senator Allen
offered a resolution declaring sym
patty for the Beers and expressing
the belief that this government SHOULD
offer mediation, and asking unani-
nous consent for its immediate con-
sideration, by his own vote alone had
it declared adopted. Laughing
heartily at the discontinue of the
Senators who began to rush into the
chamber from the cloak rooms, Sena-
tor Allen, at the request of Senator
Fry, agreed that the vote be recon
sidered and the resolution sent to the
Calendar.

A SPECIAL from Washington says;
Senator Nelson has introduced a
bill against "trade checks" The
objection is that by the issuance OF
such checks, and the compelling OF
men to trade at company stores
the corporation particularly have
their men in their power, and can
prevent strikes, or even emigration.
Many of the complaints have come
from Minnesota, and they have not
all come from laboring men. The
bill is the outcome of conferences be-
tween Mr.. Nielsen and Treasury De-
partment officials, and it is a
Treasury Department bill. 1t pro-
hibits the use of trade checks for the
purchase of merchandise, and fixes a
penalty of 800, $50 of it to 60 &c
