NATIONAL DEMOCKATIC CONVEN- ‘TION. ‘The Situation This Morning. CENCENNATI, June 23, TL a. m. ‘The second day of the convention opens with but few changes tn the situation. The Enquirer this morning, fearing Bayard’s strength, comes out fn a double-leaded edi- tortal demanding that the names of Bayard and McDonald be withdrawn as candidates. A geod mnany delegates are inquiring what is to Feeome of the party if every leader ts thus sbelved and men taken up whose names even were never heard of before by half of the dele- gates to the convention. The Tennessee delegation at, their meeting proposed as a compromise English, of Connecti. €ut, and McDonald, of Indiana; but the south- ern delegates are timid over such new names as English and Pratt and other so-called dark horses. New Tilden Boom in the South. In the meantime Tilden’s letter seems to have awakened great enthusiasm throughout the scuth and a renewal of the demand that the Old ticket be nominated. A great many tele grams have been received during the night and to-day from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee urging the delegates from those states to vot for Tuden. One telegram. signed by ten leadinx democrats of Atlanta. addressed to the detega- tion, says: “Tilden’s great letter and nani Mous agion has produced great enthusiasm and astrondacsire for iis nomination.” Another ene telegraphs: “Go for Tilden; greatest man Since Henry Cla: Judge Collier, of Georgia, also telegraphs: “Tilden’s letter set the city o1 fire: nominate him.” Congressman Harris ha: a telegram from Virginia saying: “Tilden’s let- ter has united the democracy here.” Anti-Tilden. ‘The Georgia delegation, however, this morn- ing divided between Bayard and Ficid. The temporary organization of the convention yes- terday by the close personal friends of Tilden ts Severely denounced in the east.

Tilden‘s Grip Holds and Thurman’s Grip Gone. ‘The New York delegation proposes to go for Payne. Thismeaus that Tilden’s grip holds.

The convention one o'clock, with €: tucky, 25 chairman, The District Delegates. The District of Columbia delegates were con firmed in thefr seats on the floor with the terri- tories and given the same privileges as dele- gates in the House of Representatives, tucluding the right of debate, but are not allowed to vote. Tammany Exciuded. The Tammany delegation, which was the only contest, were excluded by a test vote of 295 to One hour was given for debate on the report of the committee on credentials excluding Tam- maby, which was begun on behalf of Tammany by Geo. W. Miller, of Albany, N. Y., who ad- dressed the convention as “Feilow-democrats of the continental republic of America,” amid &@ good deal of cheering and laughter. Hits allu- sious to Kelly were received with mingled ap. plause and hisses, the latter at times drownlag enator Stevenson, of Ken- secretary; Mrs. Jane H. a eteiptil treasurer, a vice president from each state. It demands the recognition of women’s eae and insertion in the platform of a plank pledging the demo- cratic party to use all its powers to secure to the women of the nation protection in the exer- of their right of su: . The woman’s suffrage representatives were honored with ap- ee from the audience as they took their seats. After a brilliant voluntary on the organ the military band played various national and oper- atic airs. Yankee le alone seemed to arouse the audience. ‘The Opening Prayer. ‘The convention was called to order at 10:40 o’clock, when all the delegates appeared to be on band. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Charles Tay- lor of the Scott Street Methodist Episcopal Chureh of Covington, Ky. He prayed for har- mony and the yielding of all personal pre‘er- ences to the general welfare. Preliminary Business. On motion, the reading of the minutes of yes- terday was dispensed with. Mr. Slantenderg, of Indiana, moved a resolu- tion that the surviving soldiers of the Mexican war and their widows and orphans should be put, by Congress, on the same footing a3 the soldiers of 1Si2. Referred to the platform com- mittee. The chair announced that the first business in order was the report of the committee on cre- dentiols, and asked if It was ready to report. ‘There was an ititerval of several minutes before there was any response. Meantime the chair ordered read a telegram from Renayles Basin, New York: “Bonfire ready to be lighted, with three cheers for democratic nominee.” (Laughter and applause. Permanent Organization.

DISTRICT DELEGATES ENTITLED 10 SPEAK BUT NOT TO VOTE, ‘The committee further report that they have duly considered the memoria! in relation to the representation to the District of Columbia and of the territories and have heard the arguments of the memoralists, and respectfully commend the following resolution: “Resolved, That two delegates from the Dis- trict of Columbia and two delegates from each of the territories be admitted to the convention and have the right to participate in debate and every other right and privilege enjoyed by the delegates from the states, excepting only the Tight to vote.” When the report had been read Mr. Young. ot Georgia, as a question of privilege, demanded to be permitted to present the report of the committee on credentials. The cl Said the report on permanent organization was betore the house, and asked the convention's will. Mr. Martin moved that his report be adopted, and on that asked the previous question, which he subsequently withdrew. 3ir. Jetiries, of Louisiana, moved to postpone further proceedings on the report on permanent organization until the convention had received and acted on the credentials committee's report. Adopted. | Heport of the Committee on Creden- tials. Mr. Young, of Georgia. a8 chairman, present ed the report of the committee on erédentiais, as follows: Massachuseit’s—Two delegations are present from the state of Massachusetts, ‘They are known as the Faneuil hall delegation and the other as the Mechanics’ hall convention. By Joint request made by the delegation to the committee of credentials, we carnestly recom- Inend that both delegations be admitted to seats In the convention, the united delegation to cast the yote to which the state 1s entitled. (Applause.] Pennsylvania—In the case of the contesting delegations from the 26th congres- | Slonal district of Pennsylvania we report that | the sitting delegates are entitled to retain their Seats as members of the convention, New ork—The committee has carefully examined ail the evidence brought before it bearing on the contested case from the state of New York. It carefully and patiently considered al) the facts in the contest and weighed the evidence presented by both sides, and by singularly unanimous vote, ft allows the sitting members to retain their seats. (General applatise, except from the Tammany benches.) With these ex- oe eee there was no contest before the com- mittee, and we herew!th submit the list of dele- gates duly entitled to seats. A Minority Report to Give Kelley Delegates 20 Votes. . Carroll, of Kansas, presented a minority report. It was proy Ato have the r clerk read it, but the chair said the gentleman irom Kansas should have bis own way about it. es } ir. Carroll preceeded to read his report inter- rupted with boisterous cries of “Louder!,” “Louder!” “Let the clerk read it!” Judge Hoadley called for order, and said the gentleman from Kansas could be heard by the entire house if order was preserved, and It was his right to be heard and he should be heard. (Applause. } Mr. Carroll proceeded to that the post- tion of the Tammany men at this time is pre- cisely analagous to the condition of the New York contestants in 1856, when the contestants Were admitted to half the seats of New York in the convention, which action uhited the party the former. There were loud cries for Kelly to speak. Dut he was not inthe hall. The debate cn bebalf of Tammany inalcated clearly thai they represented forty thousand votes outside of New York city, and that they must have representation in this convention to Insure har mony. The claim that with such harmony any nominee of this convention could be elected in New York state was recelved with wild cheer- ing. ‘Thanking the District Delegates. @ “be territorial delegates held a meeting this morning and passed resoluuons thanking the District of Columbia delegates for securing their aamission to rights upon the floor, and naming Ce ep Dickson to further reeecois them before the national committee.

Young said under the rules of the house there was one hour for debate, of which he pro- two-thirds be given to’ the contestants and their friends. _{Applause,] Loud cries of “Platform,” “Take the plat- form,” caused Mr, Young to go to the and he proposed to give forty minutes to an: Man who would be suggested by Mr. Kelly, of New York, reserving his own twenty minutes to reply. [Applause and hisses.] Calls for Kelly. The chair stated that he understood it to be the wish of the contestants to be represented by Mr. Kelley, and asked that he be accorded Ulat privilege. [Hisses and cries of “yes,” “yes."] Finally the chair announced that he heard no objection, and invited Mr. Kelly to the platform. Mr. Kelly not being in the hall, the Sergeant-at-arms was instructed to escort any- body to the platform whom the New York con- testants should indicate. Mr. Miller in Behalf of Tammany. In response George W. Miller, of Albany, came forward and was greeted with applause. He hoped the right of free speech would not be Jaterrupted for a moment by any man in whose velns flows a drop of democratic blood. (Cheers.] The contestants came here with the same earnest desire as animated all the dele- gates in this hall. (Applause) They came with no fire-brand, but to present an olive branch with a view to victorious success. A reference to the name of Kelly was greeted with applause. and a storm of jilssea renewed when the speaker declared that he had no supe- Morin integrity and devotion to democratic Principles and party. He proceeded to argue the importance of giving the Tammany men some representation in this body as a means of securing unity and success. Only fifteen of the contestants are from New York, and the re- mainder of them represented over’ 40,000 demo- crats scattered all over the state, and number- ing at least one-tifth of the democratic vote in said state. Speaking for the contestants from the rural districts he said they intended to sup- port whoever should be made the candidates of Uhis convention. They were all anxions only for such proceeding here as shall tend best to promote and insure a great triumph. [Ap- Plause.) | But deprive the rank and file of their leaders, and, like soldiers in the field, there was danger that they would be demoralized and skulk away from the fight, But if the con- vention would observe the democratic precedents, and give the contestants an opportunity to articipate in the pro- ceedings, “he could assure them that the democracy would carry the state of New York. [Applause.] He proceeded to urge that the sit_ Ung delegates here were the representatives of machine politics, against which public senti- ment was protesting in the democratic as well as the republican party. Unless some compro- mise of this question should be made here it would be impossible to prevent the running of two democratic electoral tickets in New York, friends Could not control this result, try as they might, unless this convention should give them the twenty seats recommended by the minority report. Give them these and they could draw out and make effective the magnificent demo- cratic vote of New York, which would secure a victory next autumn. Amasa J. Parker en the Same Side. Amasa J. Parker, announced by the chairman as a sterling old democrat, followed for the con- testants, Hesaid the contestants represented the democracy of all the rival district—at least 150,000 Of the democrats of that state—who de- manded to be heard here. He came in the spirit of harmony, witha great desire that the wis- dom and patriotism of this convention should unite the party and redeem the national govern- ment. He and his associates from the rural dis- tricts should support whatever ticket should be named here, [Applause.) He voted for Gover. nor Kobinson. [Applause.} The contestants represent then much more than the 40,000 Tam. many vote in New York city, or the 70,000 Votes cast for Kelly for governor. There was ho time here to discuss in detatl the merits ot this contest, but he appealed to the precedents of democratic conventions, and urged that that Of i856 be followed now in its spirit. Then halt the vote of New York was given to the contest- apts. They asked now only 20 of the 70 votes. it the convention desired them to join them in the work of redeeming the country with the hope of success, he implored them to give the contestants a chance so to do. Mr. Hubbard in Favor of the Mi- nority Report. Mr. Hubbard, of Texas, sustained the minorl- ty report. He was not here representing any faction in the party, but only a great state Which the census would soon show had two million people. Her delegates came here pre. pared to vote for Samuel “J. Tilden, [great ap- Plause.} or any other of the names to be pre- sented here whom the party represented here Should choose as standard bearers. He rejoiced that the south was solid for the democratic party. [applause,) but he presented himself as the advocate of compromise looking to success. He did not question the regularity of the New York sitting members. They may be so regular that they bend backwards, {iaughter,) but they might by stubbornness find their ‘Blucher in New York. [Applause.) They must not ignore the necessities of the situation in New ‘ork, New Jersey and elsewhere. [Applause.) They must be wise and not technical merely, if they hoped to win. Mere regularity in quotation Marks was not the question, but what is wise and best calculated to advance the democratic party and its principles. They wanted votes and Must avail of the means calculated to obtain them. ‘The issue Is one broader than New Xork—the destiny of this country, general re- form. the liberties of the state and the citizen, all these are involved in this small tssue now before tbis body. If New Yorkers here could not unite among themselves then he called upon the convention to put up baans and join them in wedlock and swear them to unton for the Sake of the common cause. Let the demo- cratic party set its foot on the seeds of discord Wherever they may be. Massachusetts had set- ed itsown grievances by compromise. It New York cannot do that let us do it for them. [Ap- lause.] It we allowed discord to be thrown to our laps here; if you allow to be kicked like a trooper the men whose votes you will need bye and bye we will have thrown away our birth right.” We can look for success only by the exercise of a broad and Catholle spirit in ance a question as this. e speaker's Manner was very impassioned =, and made apparently a deep im- pression. In conclusion he said: It we fail now the sun in Heaven may never rise again on a Suecessful democratic party. At the conclu- sion Mr. Hubbard was warmly congratulated by many dclegates on the platform. Mr, Fellowsin Favor of the Majori- ty Report, John R. Fellows of ‘New York, next spoke for nla, (one absent the majority report. The question was as to hether the sovereign majority of New York great to for representa- Mon In the national convention, or whether that ht shall wrested from her to be exercised by her sister states. [A] 1use.} He proceeded to os the ont oF @ division in New Yor State convention Syi at which Kelly and his ge- ceded. with an argument tive statement to show that there wasn paral. Jel between the present situation and the pre- 1c £2 Mbich reterence had been ei : A He af i i ie i i fe HF ir clusions. (A voice.—*‘ You supported Tweed.” Cries of “Put bim out! Put him out!") In con- clusion, I ask. dare you deny to the sovereign State of New York the right you so proudly and justly demand for yourselves? (Cheers) Dare you violate her person and trample her sover- eignty in the dust? For the whole question is whether you will give the state of New York the right to decide her own representation or take that decision as picked up on the streets of Cincinnati or as given by delegates from sister states. He appealed to South Carolina and other southern delegations as advocates of states rights, tostand by the principle involved. The individual delegates sitting here from New York were of secondary importance; but beware how you smite the face of the queen state of the north. ([Applause:) Mr. Westbrook for the Minority pceert = Mu. Westbrook, of New York, occupied five minutes remaining to the minprity. It made no difference what had caused tke splitin New York, but it exists. United we stand divided we fall, and the real question is how can we best sectre union and ry. He hoped such action would be had here as would secure to the party Tammany hall's 50,000 trusty votes, So nec to success. It was well for the Party that Tammany hall was this time in the control of so honest and sound a man as John Kelly. (Applause and hisses.} He could not control if he would the large number of Gissatisfied democrats, who are at his back if the convention should fail to deal justly and generously with them. He continued for some Ume to plead earnestly the wisdom of giving the contestants partial representation In the convention as a means of enabling them to con- trol their forces for the sake of the cause. Mr. Peckham for ee Majority Re- FI Mr. Peckham, of albany, followed for the ma- jority report. It was votes that the party Wanted and must have. How were they to be procured? In 1si6, after the St. Louis conven- Uon had nominated Tilden for President [cheers}, Lucius Robinson was nominated and elected governor of New York. In the honest discharge of his official duty as governor, he removed the county clerk of New York. This led to a declaration of war by Tam- many against Robinson. The democrats of the rural districts determined to stand by Robin- Son, and renominated him. Whereupon Kelly and Tammany Hall nominated another candi- date, stabbed Robinson to the heart, and elect- ed Cornell; and now, with hands sitll bloody. they come here to ask you in the Interests of harmony to distranchise the regular delegates who are sitting bere. Grant their demand, and the gentleman from Texas .will be howling lcuder in the wilderness for votes tnan he is how. [Applause.] The democrats of New York would never submit to such treatment. Votes were not to be had in anysuch way. [Ap- plause.} Chairman Young Closes the Debate. Mr. Young, of Georgia, as chairman of the ccmmittee on credentials, closed the debate with a three minutes’ speech. The committec had found only one regular delegation here from New York, and they had recommended their admission. Tilden was not before this convention. (Applause.] For one he wished to God he was. [Applause.) ‘The question was simply as to who were the rightful representa- tives of New York. The Tammany Delegates Excluded. ‘The chair stated the question was first upon substituting the minority for the majority re- ort, and ordered roll call. States voted:—Ala- a, 11 aye, 8 nO; Arkansas, 12 aye, under unit Instructions; Calafornia, 2 aye, 10'nd; Colorado, 3 aye, 3 no; Connecticut, 12 no; Delaware, 1 aye, 5 no; Florida, 5 aye, 3 no; Georgia, 9 aye, 13 no; Mlinots, 26 aye, 16 no; Indiana, 30 no, under unit instructions; Iowa, 22 no; Kansas, '10 aye; Kentucky, 24 no; Louisiana, 16 no; Maine, 6 aye. 5 no; Maryland, 12 aye, 4 no; Massachu- Sells, 94 aye, 15 no, 34 absent; Michigan, 2 aye, 20 no; Minnesota, 10 ne, under unit instructions; Mississippi, 4 aye, 12 no; Missouri, 11 ay 19 no; Nebraska, 6 no; Nevada, t no: New Hampshire, 1 aye, 9’ no; New Jersey, 12 aye, 6 no.

Question recurring on adoption of the maior- ity report it was adopted by a viva vove vote. [Great applause.) The Tammany Delegates Have the Privilege of the Floor. Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, offered a reso- lution that the delegation trom the state of New York, of which Amasa J. Parker 1s chairman, be invited to seats on the floor of the convention during its session. ‘Mr. Young favored it, and it was adopted. Permanent Officers Elected. On motion of Mr. Martin, of Delaware, the report and resolutions from the committee on permanent organization was then adopted. Gov. Stevenson on taking the chair was re- ceived with prolonged cheers. The Platform. ‘The report of the committee on platform con gratulates the country on its escape from a “third term,” and regrets that Samuel J. Tilden has been withdrawn asa candidate. Nominations in Order.

Delaware next placed Bayard in nomination, and his name was received with great enthust- asm. Mr. Gray, of the delegation. who made the presentation Repth had a tine voice, which filled the vast hall, and was loudly applauded for it. Morrison.
