Tb BaUonnl Executive Committee Ap pointed, And the Convention Adjonrnn Without Day In tbe Best of 11 ninor. FIRST DAY. Tbe National Democratic Convention met at Cincinnati on Tuesday, June 21, In toe Music 11 all or that city. At 12:40 o'clock Senator Barnum CALLED THI CONVENTfON TO OBDEB and without any preliminary remarks announced that prayer would be offered by Rev. Wendte, of tbe Unitarian Church. Sana or Bornum announced that be bad been unanimously requested by the National Committee to nominate BOH. GEORGE HOADLEY, of Ohio, for temporary Chairman. This being approved by the Convention, the Chair appointed William L.Scott and J. D. McKraery as a Committee to conduct Mr. lloadley to the stand. As Mr. lloadley asceuded the platform be was greeted with hearty applause. The speech was very well delivered, bat was altogether too lengthy for the occasion. There seemed to bo little real occasion for a key-note speech at that time, yt Mr. Hoadiey was probably excusable for attempting to make one. It wax x. ceedingly well received, presenting a great contract to the platitudes of Mr. Hoar's Chicago speech. Some portions of It were received In a manner almost an dramatic as some of tbe mlaor scenes of the Chicago Convention, considering the difference In the sedateness and dignity of the two parties. When Mr. Hoadley referred to the great electoral fraud of l76, tne w York and Kentucky delegation, with members of many others, rose to their leet la an instant, and tue feeling ran high. A similar scene was enacted when he mentioned tbe name oj Mr. Tilden, and when he coupled that of Mr. Hendricks with it, the Indiana delegation aded to the exhibition of enthusiasm. Mr. Biedler, of New York, offered a resolution that tue ru.es of the National Democrailc Convention be the rules of this body nntil otherwise ordered. Adopted. Nothing of muco importance was done at the rst day's session oeyond the appointment of the usual Committees. SKCUNI) DAY. The delegates were tardy, as usual, so wben 10 o'clock arrived, the hoar to which the Convention adjourned, very few were In their seats. VUitor were more prompt, and before 10 tne galleries were packed with an expectant multitude. The weather Is close and hot and not a breath of air is stirring, so that the rapid movement of fans give a lively appearance. The press representatives, who have work to do, hope for an early sine die adjournment, through the influence of the sultry day. A brass band has aupplanted tbe great organ, apparently being more appropriate lor the Fourth of July enthusiasm. Wade Hampton and other favorites of yesterday were cheered as they entered. At 10:40 the Chairman called the Convention to order and introduced Rev. Charles W. Taylor, of Covington, a Presbyterian clergyman, temporarily preaching in Cincinnati, who offered prayer. Mr. Statzenberg Burke, of Indiana, offered the following resolution : Resolved, That the surviving soldiers of the war with Mexico, widows and orphans, and he children of the soldiers of the deceased are entitled to tne grateful recognition of the people of the United states, and Congress ought to cause them to be placed on tbe pension roll on the same footing with the soldiers of the war of lSli. Mr. Young, of Georgia, Chairman of the Committee on Credentials, submitted his re port in the Massachusetts' case. It was unanimously recommended that the admission of both contestants, and that the two delegations united cast tbe vote of the State. The sitting members from Pennsylvania were reported as enuuea to tneir seats. There was great cheering when the clause was read declaring that the Committee had. with great unanimity, decided in favor of the sitting members, and against the admission of Tammany. Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, offered a reso lution that the contesting delegates be admittea. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Martin, of Delaware, Chairman of the Committee on Permanent Organizatlon,moved mat me report or nis uo mm it tee be adopted. Agreed to, and the Chair named Senator McDonald, of Indiana; Senator Butler, of South Carolina, and Thomas O'Connor, of Ten-ZX-QOVERN0B STEVENSON to the Chair. This duty was performed, after considerable delay, occasioned by the absence from the hall of Mr. Stevenson. When the Temporary Chairman finally presented him, ne was received vua nearly applause. Senator Stevenson assumed the gavel and addressed the Convention as fo'lows: GENTLEXEN or THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC Convention I am pro oundly sensible of tbe honor and responsibility or thUbigh trust as mark ox your personal and political conn dence. I can find no words In which to ex press my deep sense of your partiality in this unlookced for distinction: but I know better than any can know that I am not Indebted to It upon any personal merit of my own. know full well that it is a tribute to that Saltan t old Commonwealth from which I oome or her unwavering devotion amid tempest and calm, sanshloe and storm, to the demo cratic principles of the Constitution of the United State. Cheers. In the name therefore, of the Democracy of Ken tuoky, from the Big Handy to the Mississippi, from the Onlo to the Cum berland Gap, In their name I return you their thanks for calling one of the humblest of her sons to preside over your deliberations. Cheera,r Representative men of the Demo ratio party, I welcome you to Cincinnati. greet yon In this grand council assembled,

every Territory to take counsel -together- for the preservation of uie uobsuiuuoh ana we perpetuation of free principles. There la Joy in your coming. I see in tbe mass of uplifted faces before me a determination that the flag which you shall put out shall be borne triumphantly to victory. Gentlemen, there tea local association In places. We all feel It. We all know it. Our blood -la stirred, our beam are moved wben we oome to pl.vces eonneoted with any great and glorious achievement of tbe past, and 1 see before me - many well known faces, who twenty four years 9o met In Democratic ooanell In this oity, and who put out a picket and Intrusted It to two Rrand leaders, tbe last that the Democratic party have elected who to-k their seats, and I feel that what you did at Cincinnati twentyfour years ago yoo intend to do to-day. Representative men, the f.g which yon shall unfurl will only contain the tenets of the Democratic faith, wuioh were announced nearly a hundred ) uu ago. There must be political parties la every free government. They are the outgrowth of diverse policies and opposing views I construction, and this blessed Constitution of ours, which in t established this Government, and from that day almost to this vou have bad these opposing parties in me American Republic. They began in 92; they were continued In 1W1, and that contest whicn elevated to the Presidency the author of our great charter of American freedom was but a contest of popular rignts against arbitrary power. IApDlause.l Thomas Jefierson sleeps in tue mountain solitude of his own Monticeho, bet the principles to which he consecrated bis life. and which he Illustrated in his administration, of which vou are the chosen represent atives, still survive in the hearts of bis lollow ers. Applause. 1 , Parties may change, men may change; principles rarely ever cnange. it was at that trying crisis that oar rulers sought to denv their re-Donse to the people. They attempted to deny free discussion of their cane, and tliouKti editors were imprisoned and fines imposed, the people triumphed, and Thomas Je Hereon was elected, ana so now There were men in that day, as in this, who tried td defeat Thomas jenerson from taking his office, and I am sorry to see that there are men now who trampie upon the popular will, and would attempt, and have successfully suc ceeded in depriving men who were elevated to these high offices from enjoying the high confidence given to them. Applause. We enter upon the twenty -fourth Presidential election. Bince the organization of the Government. You pat forward vonr declaration of political faith ol it always has been and as It still is. We believe that this is a limited Government, and that no power not granted by the Constitution can be exercised bv that Government. W e believe In a free press; we believe in popular education; we believe and declare that this people will stand no taxation not demanded by an eco noniical administration of the Government; but, above ail, we believe representation rests on auftrage, aud that every suffrage must be preserved sacred ; that every man cants a vote, and It mast be counted, ana that the people who receive the majority of these votes must. and shall, be the officers. Applause. r our years ago the people of the United Slates elrcted two distinguished citizens President and Vice. President of these United States, f Applause. I They were not allowed to exer cise tbe duties of that high position; they were not allowed Justly and legally to execute the duties of Presidentand Vice President ; but, fellow-citizens, it was not a personal out rage. Great as the grievance was to your selected candidates, it was a greater grievance to the Constitution of these United States. A voice. "That s so." and applause. Lvery cm zen of tbe United States exercises his aliquot part of sovereignty when he casts his vote for his representative, and when you fall to guard the rignt of suffrage, to see that those who re ceive the majority shall be elevated to tbe high trust to which you have called them, then you cease to be the Constitutional Republic of these United States. Applause. Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks threat applause J preferred to give up the high offices to which they had beeu called rather than, by a revolutionary and bloody struggle, to give comfort to ihm) who denied the right of the oeoole to govern, and while the statesman of New York and his compeer, the rtatesman of Indiana, have acquiesced In that Uovernment, they have doi-e it to prove what the Democ-acy have always said: "Ready obedience to law Is essential to the preservation of liberty." f Applause. Although they did not enjoy the b.14 liouur to watch tbey had been elected, I can say in the language of the I'- .. . .' 11 ore real joy Marcellus exiieu leeis Than Caesar with a Senate at his heels." Applause and laughter. Uentlemen, yon have the high privilege to resent that wrong committed upon the Constitution ot the United States, and you will be recant to the high behests of tbe party whose representatives you are if you don't put forth a ticket that shall sweep this country from one end to the other. tAppiause.i I oeseecn you, mere fore, to rise above prejadiee or personal par tiality. There is not a State in this Union that can not furnish you half a dozen that can bear your nag to victory, ana l reel ana know, 1 see it in year fares, I realize It, that you come here to subordinate everything to principle and to success. The people want a change; they are tired of misrule;' they are tired of interference with the popular right of suffrage; they are sickened and disgusted with the military which attempt to coerce them ; they are tired of enor mous taxation; and ail mat you nave touo, my friends gentlemen of tne Democratic party h to nominate two tried, eniigntened, pare, expenencea Democrats, who, every men. shad be a patriot worthy of the support of yourselves and worthy of tbe support of the country. That I know you will do. Not attempting to aeiayyou longer, i win close with a simple appeal to let your nominees demand your support, and there will be triumphant Joy from every delegate and from every Democrat. lApplause.) A delegate from Kentucky, alter tne speech was concluded, moved a tow er manks to Judge lloadley for his able and Impartial performance of the arduous duties of presiding officer. Adopted, and Judge Hoadley respond ed in a pleasant vein. Mr. ureckenriage, 01 nentucay, moved mat the Convention proceed to the business ol nominating President. A delegate from Maryland moved to adjourn. This was voted down nearly unanimously. and the question recurring ou Mr. Breckenrtdtre'8 motion, ne explained mat ne contem plated a call of States lor the nomination of candidates. - Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, moved to allow each person placing a nominee before the Con vention to nave ten minutes ior me purpose. This was adopted, and Mr. Breckenridge's motion as amended was adopted. THE CALL Of 8TATES was then ordered for tne nomination of canal dates for the Presidency. Tbe llrst State called which responded was California. John iMcllrath toot the stand to present the name of JUSTICE S. J. FIELD for the Presidency. mb. president we nave met on mis occa sion, an occasion to be for ever memorableün the annais of tne uemocratio party, for tbe purpose of nominating the next President of these United states. And why Is it, let me ask, that this vast hall Is filled with re pre Recitatives of the people from all me States? Is It not that we may, by our actions this day, preserve for ourselves and our children, ana transmit to a distant posterity, the priceless hen tag a or liberty 7 mis it is mat has sailed ns together. We are Intensified In our purpose to accompiisn me ends i nave suggested, because we are Justified in believing, that me policy or tne rtepuDUcan party it con tinued will ultimately subvert tbe principles upon which ours was founded, un der wnicn it nas grown great ana prosperous and by the maintenance ot which It can alone continue in its care of liberty and advance ment. To achieve these results we must con tinue in the pathway of me fathers who founded tbe Republic. We want an inde structlble Union, composed of indestructible tttates. We want the general Uovernment to exercise only tbe powers that have been ex pressly delegated to It , and such others as by fair construction of the Constitution and necessarily incident to those expressly delegated with its proper sphere; we want It honestly administered. We shall never again suffer the Legislature of a sovereign (Stale to be invaded and Its members arrested by military despotism. We would not have our Congressmen Implicated In corrupt schemes, nor would we wish to elevate men to high positions who have been removed from public office for the reform and purification of the civil service, we want purity, judicial purity In the Executive Department of the country. It has been said mat "westward tbe star of empire takes its course," and now from beyond me far West comes that great country that lies between the summit of the Rocky Mountains and the calm waters of the Pacific, a 'country that a Democratic- administration added to me Union, and presents on of her sons to this Convention as a candidate for the highest office on earth. New England nurtured his

lnfabeyaad California developed his manhood.

.Delegates or Connecticut, he is the son ot your own soil; Oalliornlana, he Is your JustinIan; Virginians, sons of the Old Dominion, gentlemen of the suffering South, ho threw around you the protecting shield of your country's Constitution. Removing to California at a time wben mat great State was In Its early Infancy, be gave to her salutary and Denencent laws. To him the poor man of me Partno lope owes the protection from forced sale of the roof that shelters his family, and me ' miner the protection 01 im pick from me . rapacity of bit creditor. He has shaped the laws of those great Territories in the West that are yet to become radiant stats in th j galaxy of States. He is not only the founder of States, but also the preserver of States. Appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States as a Democrat, at a time when the couutry was in me desperate throes ot civil war, be holds a commission from President Lincoln as an evidence of his devotion to the Union. On that bond he has been aa pure and upright Lord Hale. He has cxpouuded the law w!th tbe logic of Marsball, and with a style superior to that of Brougham. He has protected tbe lawyer In his profession, a-.d the minis ter of religion in his holy call ing. Finally, Mr. President, be imbibed his principles from the teachings of that great apostle of democracy who Bleeps at Moniectllo, and he promulgates them with the en ergy and lear.e&sness of me hero tbe partner and the Sage of me Hermitage, if nominated by this Convention he will sweep over California like the irresistible northers that come from the snowy mountains. I have the honor to nominate for President ot tbe United H Latex Hon. Stephen J. Field, of California. He is a man without fear and without reproach a conntnian column in tne temple of tne De moeracy; one who, it elected, will wipe out the only stain upon me banner of Democracy. Colorado, when called, responded through S. E. Brown, who seconded the nomination of leia. Wben Delaware was called tbe audience cheered heartily, aud George U-ay, of that delegation, proceeded to nominal HOX. THOMAS T. BAYARD. Mr. president and Gentlemen of the CoNVkHTioN I am. instructed by the Dels ware delegation to make, ou their behalf, i nomination for me Presidency of these United States. Small In territory and in population, Delaware is proud of her history and her post tion in tüe sisterhood of the States. Applause and cries of "Good," Always devoted to the principles of that great party that maintains the equality of tbe rights of the States as well as of the Individual citizen, she is here to-day to do all mat In her lies for the advaucement of our common cause. Who will best lead the Democratic bosts In the impending struggle tor the restoration of Uod's Uovernment Cries of "Bayard, Bayard." and the Constlutlonal rights of the States and their people. Is the Important question that we are nere to day to oeciue. Delaware is not blinded by her affections, when she presents to this Conven.iou, as a candidate for this great trust the name of hr galiaot son, 1 nomas t rancis isaysrd, lona and long continued applause i. lie is no car pet knight rashly put forth to flash a maiden's sword in this great contest. He is a veteran, covered with the scars of many a hard fought battle, where tbe principles or Constnu tlonal liberties have been at stake in an arena, where the giants of Radicalism were his tots, and his bruised arms are not hung up, but wielded still with a stalwart arm aad burnished bright, are thelmonuments of bis prowess. Thomas Francis Bayard Is a statesman applause, who will need no Introduction to the American people applause. His name and his record is anown whereever our nag floats: aye, wherever the EnglUh tongue is spoken. His is no sectional lame with sympathies as broad as this great continent; a private character spotless as the snow from Heaven Great applause; a Judgment as clear as tbe sunlight; an intellect as keen and as bright as a flash ing saber; honest in thought and deed The people all know him by heart, and as 1 said before need not be told who and what he is. But you, gentlemen of tbe Convention, you who, with me, have the duty to perform of keeping in view tbe success mat is so im portant tobe achieved next November, pray consider with me for a moment the elements of his strength, who more than he will, as a candidate, appeal to the best traditions of our party ana of our country! in wnom more than in him will the best interests of this great country, now reawakening to new life and hope, confide lor that security and repoAe which shall send capital and labor forth like twin brothers, hand Inband, in me great work of building up our country's prosperity, and advancing her civlliEML1UU TV UU, UCIICI lllftU UC, Will CIICKUI Ul heart and Intellect of our great party, or give better expression to Its highest and noblest aspirations? Who will draw more largely upon the henest and reflecting independent voters than he, whose very name is a synonym for honest and fearless opposition to corruption in every form and every where, and who has dared to follow the straight paths that he thought the path of duty with a chivalrous devotion mat never counted personal gain or loss 7 w no nas eontriouted more tnan Mr. Bayard to the commanding strength of the Democratic party of the United States to-day? Blot out him and his influence, and who would not feel and mourn the loss? Pardon Delaware if she says too much. She speaks in no disparage ment of me distinguished and illustrious Democrats whose names sparkle like stars in me political firmament. She honors mem all. DU sue Knows ner son, ana ner heart win speak. Nominate him, gentlemen ol the contion, ana success is assured, ills very name will be a platform, it will tire every Demo cratic heart with new zeal, aud will place a sword in the hands of every honest man to drive from power me reckless men who have held bom for four years against the expressed will of me American people. ( Applause. Do not tell us that you admire and love him, but that he Is unavailable. Tell tbe country that the sneer of Republican enemies Is a lie, and tat such a man as Thomas r rancis uayara is not too good a man to receive the highest honors of me .Democratic party. Tate tbe whole people into your confidence and tell them an honest and patriotic party Is to be led by as pure a man as God ever made. That a brave party is to be led by a brave man, whose courage will not falter whatever may be the danger. Tell them that our party has the courage of its convictions; that statesmanship, ability and honesty are to be realities once more in tne government of these United States, and me nomination of Thomas F. Bayard will fall like a benediction and will be the presage of a victory mat, in November, will sweep from the gulf to the lakes and from ocean to ooea a. I Applause. amuei . Marsnau. oi Illinois, , PRESENTED THE NAME Or WILLIAM F. MORRISON, oCILUnois. MB. PRESrDKNT AND GENTLEMEN OK THE Oonvkntioä I must ask you to-day, your in diligence, because I appear here in no condi tion on account Of either preparation or the condition of my health, to do Justice to the duty assigned me by the united voice of the delegation from Illinois. We are assembled here to-day in the discharge of a very high and important responsibility. No body of men assembled together in this broad continent since the Fourth of July, 177Ö, has had greater responsibilities resting upon it, and more important amies to discharge man the Convention assembled here to-day in this ball. The eyes of the entire American people are turned to day with anxiety to ward this beautiful city of Cincinnati, and millions of hearts are throbbing with anxiety, and offering up prayers to Almighty Uod that this Convention snail not err in tbe discharge of me Important duty devolving upon it. we are nssemuiea nere to-aay as the represertatives of the great Democratic party of this country, representing tbe party that has been at all times and everywhere the defender and preserver of the Constitution, and the rights and liberties of tbe people. Applause. My countrymen, we should remember In the discharge of our duties here that we are but me representatives of tbe great body of the American people ; at least, so far as it is represented by that great party of the Constitution, and that our verdict here will not be final as to tbe result of the canvass that is so rapidly approaching, and throwing Its duties upon us. Neither Cincinnati nor Chicago can make a President. Tbe men who will make the next President of the United States to day are laboring in their harvest fields, tolling in their Shop, following tbe plow and engaged In all those industrial occupations that make up the grandeur and glory of mis great country, and we must remember mat they will nave a voice in commendation or in disapproval of the manner in which we discharge the responsibilities Imposed upon us. We have a duty to perform at this time, greater. higher, more Important than that which has devolved on any previous body ot this kind Four years ago the American people, In me exercise of their right as

freemen, , by their ballots at the polls

made a selection of me man who should mi the great otfiee of Presldeut ot me United Slates. The verdict of me people was emphatic and undeniable. By the constitutional and legal modes prescribed by our Constitution, they elected a majority of me electors, w nose duty it waa to elect and place In office me President ol thla ereat Renublio cut oy a conspiracy of unexampled character, and unequa.ed in the annals of the world, the verdict ot the people was falsified, and a number of so-called vial Una- statesmen weut on their march southward to hold up me bands of mat organization of unmitigated scoundrels assem bled at New Orleans under the oameoi a Returning Board, that they might have the courage in . that city to hold up tue once. i ne grandest on earth in rpen uiarKet to holdout to the world the great office of President of me United States, to be put up to tbe highest bidders as tbe Praetorlau Guards in Rome, in an eailv dav. out ud at auction the office of Emperor of that great Empire. We have tbe unmitigated shame aud scandal presented to the world, in the face of the world: me great crime was con8ummaia. it has : been frequently remarked, my country' men. that the Democratic party on that ooca sion, and Its leaders, were guilty ol cowardice. They were guilty of the highest act ol patriot ism Known to man on earin. i ne Democratic matmes'of tbe Democratic party know th it a conflict of arms to determine the right to the office of President would result in all probability In the destruction of all liberty , and tne monuments of liberty on this continent. There Is. my countrymen, a higher, nobler courage than that of the battle tieid. . There is a courage of patleuce, a deter mination in defiance of public sentiment to see that the right Is done In a peaceable man ner aud the forms of the Constitution. I Cries of "Time," "Name your man" and 'Order. ' vrenueman, paraon me, i wiu get iutuuku within the lime If you will indulge me. 1 was not aware when I came to tbe stand that the time is limited aa it is, or that I was occupying me time I have. Tbe American people uow demand a leader worthy rf ourselves, aud worthy oi the cause in which we are engaged They demand for that leader, in tbe first place, a man or indexible and aggressive non esty; a man who Is not only houtst hlmt-eif, but wno will not permit crime to be perpe t rated with Impunity in his presence. They want a man oi tne most indomitable courage: a man of his convictions ; a man that win dare to do right under all circumstances; a man who comes from the people and tymtatbizea with the ptople; a man who is a legislator and a good citizen Cries of "Time!" and "Name your mau!"l Now, gentlemen, begging your pardon lor tne transgression upon your time, allow me wita out further words, by the voice of the unanimous delegation from Illinois, to prcsont for your consideration that golded -hearted msu and citizen, that gallant and Indomitable sol dler, fearless In battle, and yet generous and sympathizing In tbe hour of victory to his enemies; mat experienced and honest and up right statesman Loud cries from the gallery of "Time!" and great contusion, during which a delegate asked the Chairman to instiuct the Sergeant-at-arms to clear the building of ail persons not connected with the Convention unless the Interruption should cease r lie Chair stated that he should use his til arts to preserve order and the'Sergeaut-at-Arrfs tioti fled me crowd that tbey must keep si.ent or go out Mr. Marshall (continuing) Gentlemen.with your indulgence a moment, 1 will conclude the remarks that I have to say. I will repeat, as was Interrupted, that I am authorized by the united and unanimous vote of the Illinois delegation to present for the consideration of this Convention that Indomitable, that most worthy and golden hearted citizen, that man of the people, that man of inflexible honesty. that man of indomitable courage in civil lire and military life, that man who has followed the flag of his country in two wars; although apparently a young iran to day, he distinguished himse.f as a private soldier In the Mexican war in his very boyhood, who distinguished himself as an officer in the late civil war; that most worthy citizen and legislator is Colonel Win R. Morrison, of Illinois lapplause, and if you will place him in nomination I win guarantee that a voice or approbation will come from every valley and every hilltop In this land and we will make him the next President of tbe United States. Loud applause. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS NOMINATED, The most general and enthusiastic applause seen during the convention was witnessed when Indiana was called, and D. W. Voor hees took the platform to nominate Thomas A. uenaricks. Mr. Voorhees Mr. President and gentle men: I have tbe honor in turn to present the name of a distinguished citizen of Indiana who is fit to be President of the United States I have listened with pleasure to the recitals appertaining to the names that have already been announced to you. 1 know eacb gentleman well.

I know them all well. 1 am proud to pay them honor. Every name thus far Is wortny of this great presence, and yet I venture in this comparison to announce the name of Thomas A. Hendricks. Great cheering, continued for some time No word of disparagement falls from my lips on this occasion. 1 honor the names that are presented here, and I honor me name ef that great and able man whose name has been with drawn from the consideration of this Con ven tion, from the State of New York. Applause. uui, looking over tne career oi public men, there Is no man comes Into this presence that not. merolv lllimi for nn man liflfl mat xHfh not merely claims, for no man has met with more commendation in the work of his life. than Governor Hendricks, of Indiana. Whether looking at him in bis early life, as a legislator in the affairs or his state, aa a mem berof the Constitutional Convention which framed the fundamental law of me State; whether afterward as a member of Congress, representing a large, populous and la telllgent District; whether aa Commissioner of : the Land Office, passing upon great questions connected with tbe publio domain; or whether afterward viewing him as a Sena tor, battling, struggling for me Constitutional rights during the great reconstruction period of this Government, the Constitutional rights of broken, conquered States: or whether, still later, viewing him as the chief executive of the fifth Commonwealth of this great Union everything In his record is full of honor and full of admiration to those who may come after mm in tne position wnicn be win occu py. Applause Mr. President, shall we wonder mat his state is for him? Indiana has been the battle ground for twenty years of the Democratic party. Whenever you wanted to give back a note of victory, yon have looked to Indiana ior tne last thirty years. And. Indiana, nas she faltered? Some times borne down, but oiten triumphant, and always with tbe plume of Thomas A. Hen drlcks in the front. Applause Here, sir, his State does come for him, and from the Ohio line to the Illinois line on the West; from the lake on me North to the river on tbe South but one voice is heard here, and mat is up holding and presenting the name of the honored citizen whom 1 am now speaking of. There is no divided cause In Indiana. No treachery. No "Why am I for Mr. Hen drlcks?" 1 have feugbt by his Bide. I have struggled through many contests In times gone by. I have seen his valor, bis steady courage in tbe charge, and his wisdom In counsel, and I can stand, with what little reputation I have, be fore the assembled Democracy of the Union, and say this man is worthy of all acceptation ; worthy or your support, and mat nis adminis tration of higher affairs than those to which be has been cal ed will be as true and as pure as those through which he has passed, in every situation of Hie he has risen to a level with every occasion, to a level with eveiy duty to which he has been called. and now, gentleman, to the South who has been more faithful; to the North who bas been truer; me Eist who has been better, wiser, more conslderative and more faithful and to the West I need not appeal, for he Is our own son applause, aud here, come what will, gentlemen, we plant his standard in your midst. Gentlemen, we nail his colors to the mast, and come the battle or the breeze. mougn tnose colors may be torn and snivered, they will not go down except in honor, and we will go down with them Lf that should come. But lf, on the other hand, you see fit, in your generous confidence, to honor the State of Indiana with his nomination, I can tell you in advance, that her trumpet tone of victory will ring out over all this land and to ail lta borders, encouraging everywhere, areuslDg and supporting the Democratic party In me remotest Townships when the October sun goes down on the October election, and from that on until November, you will have me enemy in fuU retreat. You will have a running fight, for the front line will have broken the front line of the enemy. and ail von will nave to ao la to nnarire aionar ! and enter into a full and complete victory In tbe ides of November.

For tbe past twelve years he h as stood as the acknowledged leader of the Democratic party in the Senat, and to-day I think I can truthfuUy pay. without disparagement or any of the other great names mentioned to this Convention, and without plucking a single leaf from their garments, that no man stands higher than be In the estimation of American Democracy. He has on every proper occasion, la tbe forum, on tbe bench and in the Senat stood faithful as the peo ple's champion against evwry form or oppres sion and wrong. His patriotism is bounded by no mere State lines, aud when it was re cently demonstrated that a far off portion of the oommon country was being overran by a barbarian horde with; not Unk of sympathy with our American civilization, ne raised nis mighty voice against the fur ther continuation of the demoraliz ing innovation, and proved himself tne friend and protector of the American laborer, and the purity of the American home. Ap plause. ureal in genius, correct in Judgment, or unrivaled eloquence in me ueteuse of tne right, witn a spotless name, he stands rorth i born leader of the people, whom tbey will de light to honor, it is expected of this Conven tion, and the times peculiarly demand tbe presenting of a ticket for the suffrages of the people which will be clean and free from spot or blemish or any such thing; one around whom no dirty scandals cling. The people demand a name that will be Itself a platform, ion are waiting for your platform. 1 announce it. Allen U. Tburman. Applause. A name that bespeaks public in tegrity, ana cnivainc nonor it is piatiorm enough ior me, ana ail wno know the an rivalled (Senator, -in tne-e days, when corruption in high places has stalked unrebuked at noon-day, his name bas silenced skepticism on the reality of patriotism, and demonstrated that chivalric honor and unsullied Integrity are consiaero wen tne nignesi lime or Araeribau statesmansnip we would not be driven If we nominate htm, to commence our campatgu by defending our standard bearer against charges eltner wen or ill founded against him of moral obliquity or official mal practice, we would not go before the people asking condonation for past offenses, nor will the ptea or the statute or limitation against the fullest scrutiny laughter and applans'l and most searching Investigation of all his official career. Some men are able to say that the arrows of defamation have fallen thick and fast, but harmless at tbelr feet. 1 can say more against Allen G. Thurman. The furious tongue of slander has not had the bolduess to even speed from its weakened bow, even one blunt arrow against the spotless shield of the hier 1 name to-tiay. lie has borne tbe brunt of battle in the cause of the Democracy ; when even the bravest might well have shrunk from the contest, he has fought tbe gr-od fight and has kept the faith, but he bas not yet nnisnea nis coarse oi usetuiness ana glory. Laughter and applause Under his administration the rights ot all, high and low, rich and poor, capitalist and laborer, would be vindicated; real fraternity would then be established between: all sections; love between ns, like me paim, would nourish. and peace her wheaten garland wear, aad t State should only differ with sister State a one star differs from another star in glory. Laughter and applause. I find my time is passing away, uriea oi -uo on. roans you; 1 was going on to say something or Ohio. The enemy have been accustomed to call it a Republican state. 1 deny it, iureat applause. I I will prove it by the opposition in their recent Convention. They have already an incumbent, ana incumbent, mark you of Tilden's cnalr down mere from Ohio, t Laughter and . applause.!

Great applause.

Let me here remark that lf you give ns a candidate that win concentrate tbe affections of Ohio, we will march forth In battle array. Let me also call your attention to a tact: recent ly General - Garfield, better known bv the euphonious . epithet given to by our poet. Laureate, "Governor General G." You remember when the prosaic poet broke down on bis way to Chicago with the Republican nominee Jie was announcing to me highways and by ways what their candidate was ana paraphrasing Mr. conaiing. tiesaia: "If you ask me whence our candidate comes. my answer nrst snau oe "lie is rrom l ne me State of Ohio and his name is General U ' spoken with a dancing accompaniment that created Intense merriment.1, Tbey say a poet is born, not made, i ne iatin oi it is "racitur non f utt," but lf mat "nacitur" was fitted up by Foster, where was It? I Laughter. But to return to the subject. Laughter. General G., wben engaged In nominating somebody in Chicago, somebody thought it was Hberman. but around mat mere bangs a reasonable doubt, and I will not, therefore, go into that, but Just, before nominator and nominee became inextricably blended in one Indissolubility. Mr. U. made one remark: Rrpthren." said be. "all I exnect of danger. all I want to get through with is this current year, for on the next year the stars vi. l Dgnt ior us in tneir courses and organized stars and a Returning Board on us, and the censu, he says, will con tinue us in power. Now, fellow-citizens, give us our glorious standard-bearer, with the gonfalin thrown out in God's bright sunlight of "Thurman to the Reecue," and I propose anticipating one year on oarneia s side a real campaign, and will show him more falling Republican stars In the gloomy and melancholy , days of November gnat laughter and applause, the like of which bas not been seen since Garfield's Confederate Brigadier, General Xerxes, led those mythical Greeks against Leonida s at Thermopylae. Great laughter. Well, he Aid lead them, didn't ne? now, tnen.ii you win help ua to make a Thurman calling we will make tbe election help you, and then the calling - and the election my brethren, we will proceed to make sure of bv a little ceremonv mat happened to be omitted four years ago, and here let n-e serve notice that every Returniug Board snail be a cooling board for me miscreants that attempt by that device to again rob me people of their choice, and in spite of Returning Boards, and in spite of Electoral Commissions, and all the gates of hell, even though the Republican party should carry the keys thereof, shall not prevail agalnBt us. Great and prolonged applause. GENERAL HANCOCK NOMINATED. When- Pennsylvania was called, Mr. Daugherty said: I propose to present to the thoughtful consideration of the Convention me name or oi who, on me fleia oi b&tt.e, was styled "the superb" cheers; yet won tbe still nobler renown as a military Governor, whose first act, when In command of Louisiana and Texas, was to salute me con stitutlon by proclaiming that the military rule shall ever be subservient to the civil powers. I Cheers The plighted word of a soldier was pre ved by acts of a statesman. I nominate one whose name will suppress all factions J cheers I, will be auke acceptable to the North and to the South, a name that will

thrlll "the Republic i' a name.' if nominated.

of a rxau who will crush the last embers of sectional strife, and whose narre will be the dawning of that day so long looked for the day of perpetual broi berhood among the peo ple or America, witn mmsourctsmpira we can fling away our shroud and Wake aa aggressive war; with him we can appeal to ' the supreme majority of me American people against me corruptions of tbe Republican party and their untoid violations of Constitu tional liberty; with him as our standardbearer the bloody banner of Republicanism will fall palsied to the ground. Oh my countrymen, in mis supren e hour wben tbe destines of me Republic, when the imperiled liberties of me people are In your hands, pause, reflect, take lieeo; make no mi&tep. I say 1 nominate one who will carry every State of me South. I nominate one who will carry Pennsylvania loud cheers, carry New Jersey cheers, carry New York. Loud cheers. I propotw me name, A vMce "Carry Ohio'' aye, and carry Ohio. Cheers. I propose tne name of me soldier and state -man, whose record is as stainless as bis sword Wmfleld Scott Hancock. Loud cheers One woid more: Lf nominated he will take his seat. Loud cheers J After Mr. Daugherty left me platform he turned and came back. "Allow me to say one word more," he said to the Choir. Permission was accorded, when Mr. Daugherty corrected his speech as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention, I pray yoor . pardon for one word. I said "11 nominated." I should have said lf elected General Hancock will take his seat. Cheers. When South Carollua was called Wade Hampton stood up and was enthusiastically cheered. Upon taking me platform Ueneräl Hampton addressed the Convention as follows: Mb. President and Gentlemen or the Convkmtioh Until within a moment ago I did not know that I should be called upon to say one word to this Convention, because South Carolina has no candidate to present, but 1 have been Invited to aaeonnd nonalnavt'on which has been made, and 1 kaow why that honor was conferred en me, except that as Massachusetts has first seconded the nomination of Delaware, it may cot be inappropriate that South Carolina should reach out -her hand to that great State ot tne East. Cheers. They were In the past perbaps, ttte two States most wluyly separated in political opinion, and It la . a happy omen, now after all these years of trouble and ot bloodshed, that those two great States, the one f:om the East and my own little Palmetto State of the South, should come together for the peace, prosperity and happiness of the whole American Continent. Cheers. We say , Mr, that we have no candidate to present. We come here, bringing aa . an offering to the Democratic party Ltf electoral votes. We say to you, lf you give to us a man pure, spotless, perfect, one who represents all the best elements of American character ; lf you give ns such a man, we will give you our votes. We say to you. and we say it to prove our sincerity, mat we have none to offer. We come and say to the great East and to this overflowing Northwest, place your two best men in the field and we of tbe South will support them. We ask for no place, for no position, for no pledges, for ne patronage, n promise. We come simply as Democrats to sustain a great country lapplause, and, perhaps, my friends, we may be the most impartial Judges; not of the merits of the respective candidates, because we recognize In all whose names have been presented to-day that they are each and all worthy to bear me greal Democratic banner. We know that, and recognizing the enthusiasm which greeted the name of Hancock Applause,! we of me South would feel that,we would be safe in his hands because we were safe when he had the power. Applause. We know that the nestor of our party, the guide, me leader of me Senate, that rhurman would add dignity to the place. We know that Indiana's son is worthy of tbe honor. We know that all those whose names have been presented here are worthy to be the standardbearer of our great party, and that it Is therefore in no Invidious mood that I say to yon that we take Bayard because we beileve that be la the strongest man. I Applause. We believe that be will bring more Republican votes. cuuservaiive ncpuuucui votes, tu nis support than any other man In America. We believe that he will get the young vote of tbe country. We know mat he will get every Democratic vote in America, and we know that, lf elected, he too would take his place, for he Is as brave as Hancock. I Applause. J You remember, my . friends it bas just flashed across my mind, ana it my classical reading as not amen, me you rememoer mat wueu the Greeks were returning rrom their great ! victory, and were about to lay their offerings ; upon me altar, tbe Generals were called upon to vote ior two men tne nrst ana second man who, In their opinion, they thought most wormy -of honor, and the name of Mlstoi cles was round upon every ballot. The name ; of Thomas Francis Bayard, it not always placed first, Is always placed second, and wt choose to take the second man. I Texas, when called, merely stated through its Chairman, that Texas se coned the nomlua- ; tion of Hancock, but subsequently Governor J Hubbard made a brief speech, which was greeted with frequent applause. P. S. Stnugfellow. of Virginia, seconded the nomination of Justice Field. John W. Daniel, of Virginia, seconded the nomination of Hancock. J. A. Good, or West Virginia, seconded me nomination of Tburman. The President men announced the names of the candidates named, and each was greeted witn more -r less applause, but, as in previous Instances, most applause was accorded to Han ' cock. Mr. Brocken ridge, of Kentucky, moved the Convention proceed to ballot There was no need for postponement on account of the platform not belDg ready. There was no split In me party on that question. Mr. Hoadley, of Ohio, moved to adjourn until 10 o'clock to morrow morning, and a call of States being demanded the roll was called. It resulted ayes 3U8, nays 3ÜÖ. The Convention refused to adjourn. Call of States was then ordered ii the first ballot for Presidential candidates. It resulted asfoUows:
