How to get away most expeditiously 1s the problem of the hour, There is a rush in tho hotel offices to pay bills; there is lively inquiry for lower berths in the sleeping cars; the baggage smashers were never so bappy; the last dinner is fairly shovelled down without regard to digestion, but in all the haste it is not impos, Nbie to gather the general effects on men’s minds of | ihe consequences of the severe recrimination of the fammany people by the friends of all the disappointed randidates and especially by the Hendricks men, These latter charge that Tammany made fools of them and told them downright falsehoods. Kelly persuaded the Hendricks delegation that the New York delegates wero secretly and heartily opposed to Governor Tilden, and would be glad of the opportunity to throw him pverboard. “They are not Tilden men at all,” was Tammany’s assertion, ‘*They are really ior Horatio Seymour, and when tho break irom Tilden comes we can pledge Hen- Gricks the seventy votes from New York.” Tt is now seen that while this piece of political Strategy was being played upon Hendricks Kelly never bad more than a bare dozen votes in a delegation of seventy and only mude the assertion in the hope of Inducing the Hendricks wen to keep up the fight and at least to defeat Tilden ani distract the party. Tho Indiana men, therefore, foel that they were badly sold by Kelly and were more indignant against bim than Against any of their opponents, At the same time shere was considerably feeling among a portion of the delegates against the South, to which section they at- tribute their disppoimtment. Several Indianians des nounced the Southern States bitterly for having, as they say, betrayed the West. “We have done with them,” said one excited Hoosier, “iet them be ground to powder hereafter; thty may take care of themscives. Indiana bas dono with them.” In the Convention disappointment still show themselves, althongh they Wero soon swept away in the whirlwind of enthusiasm with which THE NOMINATION OF VICE PRESIDENT was made, It was at first considered that the New York Vildeu men bad taken up Hendricks because of the -ooling manifested ais Was not t Hendricks was decided upon ag likety to heal the wound in New York as well as in the West and to give the ucket a good chance in Indiana n October. There were, however, yom the policy of nomiuating Hendricks, Some believed that his sult money principles would burt bita | ip New York; others that his well kuown anti-license views Would drive off the Gerwans vow prepared to iupport the democratic ticket, while others again in- Sisted that it was inconsistant to select a candidate on the Uicket from the State that bad voted against the adoption of the democratic piatiorm., Woeu bis name was before the Convention all considerations of tuis kind were swept away. There was no dissenting vowwe except from soreheaded Olio, siways ready to grumble in aDemocratic Convention. Eight patie from that State votod blinks, refusing to give the ox-Governor of Indiana their allegeance. This was tho last tickering flame of the old tire Kindiod against: Headricks in Olno, because of his supposed share in the slaughter of Peudie- ton m the Democratic National Convention in New York in 1803, KELLY'S CHANGE OF HEART. After Kelly’s spocch i the Convention tne talk of the braves who follow his banuer underwent a marked cbange, and one might well bave supposed that the ferce denoneiation of Tilden beard in the hotels for the jast six of seven days must have boen a dream, The opposition to the Governor las however wave a merked change in the political situation in York, It bas brought to the ‘rout the men against Whom the most enmity bas been shown by Tammany. Mayor Wickham has been Vice President of the National Con- vention; Abram 3S Hewitt goes ou the Denocratic National Comumtice m place of Augustus Sevell; Comp- trolier Green and other personal triends of Mr. Yiidea dave the call on the matter of iniuonce; Senator Motrissey apd otier anti-Tammany leaders «must be recognized as baving ied ia the nom) a Now York refident, These fucts cannot tga) \ theif effect on the tut re po:tics of New York ei to be folt in the nominations of State ollicers aud city officers in the approaching election.

General Steadman announced that it was the inten- tion of Vbio to present the name of Mr. Payne, but now declined, in face of the demonstration, to present any uame, but seconded the nomination of Henancka Everybody else did the same, The nomination by ac- clamation was demanded, but the calling of the roll was voted and proceeded with, and Hendricks was bominated by every vote in the ball except eight votes | from Ohio which were cast blank, There was no in- | | cident except when the call of Tennessee came, and the twenty-four delegates stood on their feet and shouted in chorus, “Tennessee casts twenty-four votes for Henaricks!"” Indiana passed in her turn, but at the close acqui- esced in the decision of the Convention. MN, KRLLY'S DEMONSTRATION, Mr.. Kelly rose as soon as the voting had concluded, and his reception was very different {rom that of yes- | terday. It was seen at once that the opposition of Tammany bad ceased; that the war paint was washed off, and that the big chief was prepared to smoke the pipe of peace. The Boss took the platform and in- tormod the Convention that no person bad opposed the nomination of Tilden more strenuously than he bad, and as he had been overruled by the Convention no one would now strive more vigorously to elect him President than he would, and the Convention was as- sured that he could do some good work when be put his shoulder to the wheel. He continued :—*‘But as [ had known Hendricks, the good and pure and able Westora ruler, when L was in: Congress fifteen years ago, | had been anxious to place him at the head of the ticket ‘The speech was a conciliating one throughout, giving credit for purity, honesty and sincerity in reform to | the Governor who had been abused by Tammany as a fraud, a bogus reformer and a trickster lor a whole | week and urging the whole demceracy to support the ticke. The Tammany warrior, terrible in war and mild in peace, was listened to attentively, and it was felt that from this ‘time forth the,elforts of Tammany would be devoted to making friends with the rising sua, THE TWO-THIRDS RULE. Nebraska offered aresolution that this Convention recommend to future conventions the discontinuance of the two-thirds rule, aod that whe States instruct their delegates on that subject in choosing them tor the Convention in 1880, This was divided, and the first part—that making a recommendation to future | conventions —was voted down; but the call upon States to instruct their delegates upon this pont was carried, EXPRESSIONS OF GRATITUDE. The thanks o! the Convention were offered by reso- lution to the local committee and to the citizens of St. Louis for ther hospitable reception. All the arrange- ments were such as to be worthy this compliment It would bave been well, even, to bave made a special vote of recognition to Colonel Armstrong, of St. Louis, who personally organized all the arran,ements at tue bali The thanks to the people was a simple courteay | responding to a warm, geucrous welcome, St Louis is a fine city for conventions, a beautiful city of liberal ideas, The hotels are a great recommen- dation, aud the Southern especially is unsurpassed in any city in the world for the excel!ence of its accom- modations. 8t. Louis, bas, however, ope detect in its want of proper telegrapuic facilities, St. Louis also furnished in the person of Mr. Bell the one efficient | and admirable secretary that the Convention was able tosecure, Bell received a vote of thanks, The com- mittees to wait on the President and Vice President nominated were appointed, thanks were voted to al- most everybody and the Convention adjourned. IRATE SAMMY COX, After the adjougnment of the Convention Mr, Cox and the President of the Convention, General McClernand, met at the Lindell House. The General spoke to the Congressman ina friendly manner, but the latter repelled his advances. “I cannot speak to you as a gentleman,” said the combative Congressman, “since L regard your conduct in the chair as unbecoming a gentieman, The unfair. ness of your decisions aud rulings are only. excusable by reason of your incapacity as a presiding officer.” According bo Mr, Cox the General made no reply, but turued and walked away. Subsequently a friend of the Generai’s waited on Mr. Cox with a nrossage that the President of the Convention regretted be had tbreatened the Congressman with the Sergeant- | at-Arms when he was popping up and down in the Convention, and that he wanted to apologize for that act, | “He has not made the apology yet,” said Mr. Cox, | “but I expect to receive it?” | “But suppose he sends you a message of a diferent | echoracter ?”’ was the suggestion, | “1am ready to accept any messago from him,” said Congressman Cox, drawing bimsell ap to bis fuil heigat and looking Heres, “whetuer an apology or a hostile | invitation.” | aw it ts stated that General McClernand laughed at the affair us a capital Joke ang as Mr. Cox leaves st.

SMOKING THE CALUMET, After Mr. Kelly made his address before the Conveu- tion this morning and was about taking his seat Mr. B. F, Wood stepped up to him and cordially shook him | by the hand, at the same time congratulat ny Mr. | Kelly on his thorough democracy, This 1s the first time in erghteen years these gentiomen h ve addressed | one another on any tople whatever, and tus was | establishod at once the entente cordiaie, ‘Tne Tammany braves, having washed off their war | paint and thrown aside their tomahawks and sealping knives, come (o the front in support of the ticket and speak their sentiments in advance of their meeting around the council fire of the Wigwam, Joan Kelly, the boss of the organization, so late for war, is now for peace. Being requested to state bis present position Mr. Kelly said:— MR. KELLY'S POSITION. “As L said in my speech su the Convention, the Tam. | many democracy will support Governor Tilden just as | {aithtully and zealously as they have ever supported a democratic Presidential candidate, Nothing wil: be left | andong which that organization has im its power to eifeet to remedy What betore the nomination we re | | garded as © Llook ior one of the old fashioned | democratic majorities im the c ext November, and | from the spirit that aniinates our people 1 am sure I | | shall not be disappointed.

If Govoraor Tilden is as strong among the Germans as they say he is, with the support of Mr, Ottendorier and Carl Sehurz to back him, be will have a very large vote in the district, All will be done fur him that could be done for Hen- dricks or any other candidate. I don’t beliove In any cutthroat game, aad my doctrine 1s to oppose a man before his nomivation and support him in good faith afterward,’ ‘ CAPTAIN ISAIAI RYNDERS, the hero of a hundred democratic battles, emphasizing his words with the decided shake of the head for whieh be ig distinguisned, says:—“Tis the right of every democrat to support a candidate fairly and squurely afterche gets the nomination of ‘his party.

He will do all in hig power to give the ticket the most cordial support, Adermau Gross, in his speech at the mass meeting last evening, spoke his mind freely, and was very ev- thusiastic over the nomination of Tilden and Hen- dricks. In his opinion the German element will rally readily on that ticket. Major Quincy, Deputy Sheriff, says:—“I fought against Governor Tiiden’s nomination in good faith, for what I Lelieved to bo the party good. We are uone of us iniallible. Wiser men than mysel! have chosen him for our candidate and my opposition is over, He ts now the democratic stondard bearer, and I sail fight for him as faitofully as if he bad been my first choico,’? 3 alderman Heury Gumbleton gives his adhesion to the nomination, but would iike to bave some Western man at the head of the ticket, Still, @ majority rules, and the New York democracy will give accountot themselves, Alderman Sifelds promises bis district will poll a heavier majority for Tilden and Hendricks tnan any other man ever belore, He proposes to dois best to effect such a result. Aldermen William Sauer and Peter Seery were of the same opinion, and will support the ticket with all their might, Mr. Johu Galvin, member of Assembly, promised to roll up 4,500 majority for Tilden and Hendricks io his | district, He was opposed to Tilden’s nomination, but | asthe Convention saw titto place this ticket in the field, he considers it his duty to support it with al! his might, Coroner Woltman takes to the ticket in the same spirit, and as he professes to be a good democrat be | abides by the decision of the majority. Mr. Ea. Kearney made another bet this morning of $2,000 that Governor Tilden will not carry the State of ew York nexe November, This makes over $30,000 Mr. Kearney lias pending on the result of the election in New York State, Bernard Reilly sald:—“O¢ course 1 sball support, with ail the influence and vigor at my command, the nominees of the Convention, I was i. tavor of Hen- dricks, as 1 thought it more advisable to take our cau- didate trom the West, but now that the democratic party hag selected Samuel Tilden, L shall taxe off my coat and d» all [ can to secure his election.” Alverman Keenan says;—‘'The nomination suits me. We have been beaten ia ou” candidate, to be sure, but this 1s no time to think of that, All of us in New York city must unite in order to secure the election of Sam- uel J, Tilden.” Colonel Thomas Dunlap says:—“The ticket of Tilden and Hendricks 18 sure to be victorious next November, All personal issues are submerged ta the resuit of the yavention, It was foreseen by me all aloog that | Samuel J. Tiiden would be nominated. It is neediess to say Tammany Hall wil support bim now with en- (husiasta, and that Mr, Kelly will direct his ebergies in that direction." Aldermau Gumbleton says:—“It is ridiculous to hear one or two of our people still continue to decry Gover- nor Tilden, We bave had too mach of that, We must stand by that gentlemau’s nomination as good dem- ocrats, and do all in our power to secure his election, There 18 no other course leit open.” Alderman Tuomey say: 1 can do nothing else but support Mr. Tilden. That I will do most heartily, We | fought ior another genUeman, and now that the battle is over we can lay down cur arms aod go iu with a will for the victorious candidate. AN ARDENT TAMMANY MAN. Ex-Alderman Edward Gilon, an ardent Tammavy man, expressed himselt perfectly satisfied with the result, and promuwed that bis party would do every- | thing in 1ts power to give the nominess a most cordial | support. He does not disguise the fact (hat Tammany Hall would rather have bad a Wesiera man to head tho ticket, predicating @ more certamn success trom past | experiences, When the republicans, taking their can- Gidates from the West, elecied them for four consecu- tive terms, the fact cannot be disgumed that the West hoids the baiance of power. The opposition to Gov- ernor Tilden was by no means personal, Nothing was sard by Tammany men against his honest capability or great reform principles, and {he vomination as made will rouse the wonted euthusiasm of yore, av matter what past difjggonces existed, In the Or lat of their ditappointmeat and chagria the Indiana men found it difficult to reconciie them. selves with the situation, but a might’s rest has changed their tone and to-day they are happy and harmonious, Mr, Ewing, of Omi, 18 eaid to feel greatiy the faiare ‘of bis candids but oe yields gracefully to the views oj a majority. INCIDENTS OF WEDNESDAYS Fant, Some Incidents of eventtul Weavesday were not | properly recorded im the chronicle of that day, because | o} the pressure and the lateness of the hour. One ot | ese was the decision in the New Jersey delegation, Senator Stockton wasin that delegation, but was not its chairman, that honor taving been dented a Jersey- men aud a men of distinguished service and given on | the carpet-bag priacipie to a New York lawyer who sleeps on the New Jersey side, Stockion had the sagucity to perceive thatthe vote of New Jersey cast (he Kelly interest, thoagh lavelion with Parker’ bame, Because ata critical stage of the baiiut, when the gnteen votes of New Jersey would have uoninated ) laud will do ai Tilden, it was an assistance to the rings te keep thoee voles out of tie Tilden column. Whatever was the pre- text—and the pretence that this was done out of loyalty to Parker deceived powe but very etupid persons—it was not strange that it was said at the moment that the cha:rman of the New Jersey delegation was in the Tammany interest, 1 may bave been that this gentle- man was only slow to perceive the real nature of the case, but in that sort of rapid, fierce conflict the slow men should keep to the wall and the safe places, Senator Stockton, therefore, when he rose and proposed that the delegation have leave to withdraw with @ view to considering @ change of vote, was politically right, and was acting as Governor Parker must himself have sired in preventing that gentleman's name from beirg used a3 an obstacle to the viciory of Tilden. But be was viliiied and abused as a traitor, and this line of | observation produced at night A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER in the room of the Jersey delegation, That nighta man said that there were six traitors among the New Jerseymen, and Stockton was one of them. The Sena- tor was inthe room and heard what was said. He approached the person and id he heard bis name spoken, and the man repeated what he had said. Stockton remoustrated with bim quietly for rashly im- pogning men’s motives, bat the man, misundersianding the Senator's quiet demeauor, became very violent, and the Senator knocked him dowo und then another rushed in aud was koocked down in turn. There were toree of them on the floor at ove time, and im ao short time the Senator cleared the room and did much to correct those who assume that aman will not defend himself as occasion requires because be 8a gentleman. Another circumstance was the activity of Mr, Doo- little, of Wisconsin, as a disorganizer. Scarcely was any one point determined ere this gentleman had some new proposition, to make on the same subject, As the ball was large, the Chair- man’s voice feeble and the contusion great, it was 4 herculean labor to bring anything toa vote, and when any point had reached that stage and seemed done with there seemed a fechng of relief that so much at last was over, At this point Sr, Doolit\le commonly arose with @ request for recousideration—that all that had been done should, to obligo bim, be regarded as not done, and that the Convention should begin again and incorporate his little idea, He reminded men of Lincoin’s smull boy on tho Siississippi steamer who wanied the captain to stop the boat and fish out tho apple he had dropped overboard, ——— PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION, Sr. Louis, June 29, 1876, The Convention was called to order at twenty min- utes past ten A, M.
