noon the minority report was adopted
by large majority. In regard to
Texas the committee reported again
In favor of the delegates from that
state; the report was adopted amid
enthusiastic cheering.
The committee on platform and res
olutions also reported during this ses-
sion. The platform appeared salts
factory to almost everybody in par
ticular. It's reading elected thunders
OF applause; particularly the sections
in which freedom is affirmed to be the
normal condition OF the territories and
in which protection to home industry
IL recommended. With these and 9TH
er sections the people could not be
satisfied with one reading; but after
shouting till one might suppose their
lungs, IL not their enthusiasm, were
exhausted, they would demand the
reading OF them again. when they
would again applaud with all the We
hemence Of the first demonstration.
On the motion to adopt the platform,
Mr. Carter of Ohio demanded the pre-
vious question, which was not sus-
tanned. Mr.. Giddings moved an
amendment. which consisted in ap-
pending to the platform a quotation
from the Declaration of Independence.
This was deemed unnecessary, the
truths of the declaration being affirm
ed in the second section, and it was
voted down. At this point, the Mis-
souri, Republican says. that Giddings

dust Of his feet" etc. This is pure

Giddings during nearly the whole of
the session, and he could not have left
without my seeing him, and he did not
leave. Mr.. Wilmot proposed to
amend the 14th section, by striking
out the words, "or any state legisla-
tion," etc, regarding them as derogat-
ing from state sovereignty; but upon
being assured by Carl Schurz that
they were not intended to recon-
mend any course of national legisla-
ton, but merely to express an opin-
ion, he withdrew the motion.
Mr.. Curtis OF New York offered an
amendment similar to that presented
by Mr.. Giddings. 1t being objected
that 1t had already been voted down,
and was therefore out OF order, the
chair so ruled: whereupon Mr.. Blair

feature of the evening. In an up
stairs corridor the tables were laid
and they were gay and festive with
smilax and carnations In the soft
glow Of candelabara. Dainty place
cards with blue birds, the emblem OF
happiness, enabled the guests to find
their places, and the baskets OF az
ter-dinner minis carried the bluebird
decoration likewise. A delicious
menu followed, served by colored
walters, and the junior-senior ban
quet passed into history as one of the
most enjoyable affairs ever given by
any class OF the Weston high school.

after state rose and changed its vote
TO Lincoln. Mr. Eyarts of New York
demanded: Can New York have the
silence OF the convention?" Instantly
every voice was hushed. He stated
that he desired to make motion and
would inquire II the result OF the bal
lot was announced 1t was not; he
would await that announcement.
When the result was declared he
took the floor, or rather table, and
In speech which won the admiration
Of all that heard It. which was char
acterlzed alike by dignity, earnestness
ard deep devotion to the great states
man Of New York, he pronounced
most glowing eulogy upon William H.
Seward. 1t might be deemed honor
enough to be accounted worthy of
such devoted friendship. At the close
he moved that the nomination Of Abra-
ham Lincoln be declared unanimous,
ut the same time elevating high above
him life sized portrait OF Honest
Old Abe"
The motion was first seconded by
Blair of Michigan He said, I'VE give
UP William Henry Seward with some
beating Of the heart, with some quiv-
ering of the nerves, but the choice Of
the convention is the choice of Mich
igan." He was followed by Anderson
of Massachusetts and Carl schurz OF
Wisconsin. This closed the morning
session.
The convention reassembled at five
o'clock and at once proceeded to vote
for vice president Hannibal Hamlin
was chosen on the second ballot. 1t
may seem somewhat remarkable that
Texas should vote steadily in the
lrorning for Seward and in the after
noon cast six votes for Sam Houston.
After appointing the committee the
convention adjourned sine die.
In the evening a grand ratification
meeting was held in the Wigwam.
Pomeroy, Giddings, Yates and many
others spoke. The banner OF the

York attracted much attention (they
