If it turns out that 365 dele- gates at any one tims do vote for Til- “den, he will only need 127 delegates to give bim the nomination. THE HANCOCE BOOM. Bpecial Dispatches to The Bee.

New York has withdrawn Payne, but set- tled upon nobody. The cry of the murderer of Mrs. Surrait and regu- lar army officer is being raised against Hancock, and s still fight goes on, with the sly face of Uncle Ssmmy with his barrel forever appesring through the smoke of battle. A HOT HOLE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Bee. Cixcxsati, June 24, noon.—The weather is hot and oppressive and if nothing else will do it it will certainly ‘bring the convention to a close before long. Human pature cannot stand it much longer. The indications point strongly towards Hancock, towards whom thete seems to have been & regular stampede. Illiacis has been promised the second place for Morrison f they would vote for Hancock. FIELD FLOORED. One of the California delegates said of Judge Field’s chances, that_while his friends were working very hard for him, and they were some of the ‘most eminent men in California, he did not see how the Judge could get the nomination. He did mnot see where the votes were to come from. Tilden was not popular in the state or with its delegates, and was mot { lkely to get any of their votes. Hancock was not & fa- vorite with (he delegation, whose mem- bers differed widely in their prefer- ences,and would probably scatter their votes to morrow morning as they did to-day. The speaker felt a good deal of solizitude about Indians. He did not believe Hendricks would take a second place, and 1f he would takeit hedidnot think he could catry his own state, as the democrats of the atate would be verysagry over such sn en- gegement. GONE TO RANDALL. By onder of Tilden New York this morning will vote for Randall. . This is done with the intention of keeping Pennsylvania from going solid for Hancock, and thus breaking thelatter’s boom. CALLED TO ORDEE. The convention was called to order #t 10:30. Imwediately after prayer Peckham, of New York, obtained the _floor and said in behalf of his state " that they had heard with great sensibi- + lity the votes which were cast yester- day for the honored statesman of New tion this morniog that New York seventy votes this morning would be cast for Randall. ceed to TAKE ANOTHER BALLOT. Alsbams, the first.state on the sk, platform was unanimously adopted. gave Hanoock eleven, a gain of three, Californis, from which Haocock got nothing yesterday, gave him five. ‘When Illinois was reached every one held their breath and esgerly bent chalrman’s words. As the chairman announced, ““Dlinois casts her forty-two votes for General Hanoock,” the wildest en- thusiasm and loudest cheering fol- lowed. The galleries and delegates rose to their feot and waved hats and Maine, Michigen and Missouri; were cheered a8 they cast their votes. Mlssouri was t her 28 votes for Hancock. New York then gave Randall 70 votes, and got hissed for Ohio, after consultation, cast 44 forward to catch the handkerchief Louisiana, lustily cheored a3 she it. votes for Therman. Pennsylvania was given permission to retire for consult- ation. Wiseonsin then chenged ber vote to 20 for Haeuck, and New Jer- ey added 18 to the Genefal's score. A zcene of indescribable: ENTHUSIASM AND EXCITEMENT followed. The immense audience rose en masse aud there followed such awaviogof everything wavesble,such a cheering and such general wild de: light as never had been seen before. The chairman all this time_kept rap- ping with his gavel as if His life do pended on it, but nobody raid the slightest attention o his harmless amusement, and he continuedtt more vigorously than ever, doubtless giving s enthusiasm io this manner. When at last the pople had tired themselves out and the semblance of order bad been obtsined, Penraylv: cast her 58 votes for Hancock, and & repetition of the enthusiastic scene followed. STILL HUNTING. Louisiana’s banner, with a_picture of Hancock, was taken to the front of the stage and immediately the banners of all other states were lifted in the air and borns to the stage, where they were around that of Louisiava. Tho cheering continued fally fifteen min- utes. Kentucky then changed her vote to eighteen for Haneock, five for Bayard and one for Thurman. Rhode Island then went over the Hancock colamo, and his nomioation was an accomplished fact. After every one was allowed to give » full expression to their enthusiasm in yells and cheers for along time, it was moved to make the call of states anew. This was assented to and the call began with one state after another voting. The vots was then announced —Hancock 705, Bayard 2, Hendrioks 30, Tilden 1. Cheers, repeated again and again, followed the announce- ment, and the band played _patriotio | him. airs, HARMONY. Tho chairman of the Indiana dele- gatiod took the stand to second Haa- cock’s nomination,promising Indiant vote for him in November. Sam. Randall, who was cordislly received, aleo seconded the nomina- tion, which was a strong one, and one which would insure a democratic vie- tory. He concluded by saying that the nomination sleo means it Hancock was elected HE WOULD BE INAUGURATED. Wallace, of Pennsylvania followed. WADE HAMPTON who was greeted with prolonged ap- plause, tren took the platform and s8id on bebalf of the solid south that the south that was once arrayed against Gen. Hanoock he pledged asolid vote togallant nominee of the convention. Recoguizing Gen. Hancock's gallantry in the war and his trua observance of the rights pertaining to civil lite, he pledged to him earnest, true and energetic support of all the south, and for hisstate of South Caralina, so late- ly redeemed from mierule, he pro- mised a decisive democratic majority. Dan Voorhees followed with a grace- fal speech. TAMMANY FECGNCILED. At this point the burly form of John Kelly was seen to enter the conven- tion hall, and immediately, amid great applause, there wers numerous and oft-repeated calls for the Tammany chief, who finally took the platform and said the nomination of Hancock ‘had reunited the New York democracy. Fellows, of New York, followed Kelly, and reiterated the latter's statements and promised complets harmony. = At the conclusion of the speech Kelly grasped Fellows’ hand in a friendly manuer, and the bands plaged.

It was the FIRST ENTHUSIASM OF THE TION. Tt was'full ten minutes ,before any one could get the flocr, ‘snd it then went to Peacock, who changed the vote of his state for Hancock. Then efforts of all kinds were made tobe heard by delegates from several statcs. Nothing could be got at. The secre- tary and tally clerks were unable to get votes,and nobody except members of individual delegations Lkuew at ail what any state wss going to do. New York and Kentucky changed to Hancock, who then had 509 votes, eight more than necessary for the nomination. By this time the convention had be- ) CONVEN- d into a mass of enth astic politiciana who paid not the elightest heed to calls for order, but shouted huzzas for tho sucsessful can- didate. The chair fineliy coosed to call for silence, and sonounced that 1o more business would be procesded with until the convention was quiet, and the delegates resumed theirzeats. ftor Kentucky was reached there was Ro accutate information of a s rt.

Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, thanked the convention for the action that had b en taken. The conven- tion has now placed in the hands of the democrats of Pennsylvania the means of placing the Keystone state in the democratic ranke, and next November they would sce to it that the state was carried for the democ- racy. CROW-EATTNG CCSFEDERATE. Wade Hampton, of South Caroli- na. was greeted with cheers. He sal “Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention, on bebalf of the solid south, that south which was once arrayed agaivst the soldier from Penn- sylvania; in theic name and in behalf of my own state, I stand here to pledge you i's solid vote.” [Applause. | Ho prodicted a sweeping victory for tho ticket. ? Judge Hoadly seconded the mcmi- nation on behalf of Ohio, and the vote was put and carried without dis- sent. : Then followéd another period of music, in which the audience joined with the band and organ. Speeches of congratulation were made by Dan Voorhees of Indians, B. Faulkner of New York, and Gen. Breckinridge of Kentucky. The lat ter said that the ticket was sure of a solid south, and, turning to Ohio, In- dianaand Pennsylvania, asked the chairmen of these delegations if they could carry their states for Hancock.

Hancock you have unitod the democrats of the stats of New York. He has told you the truth. While myeelf and my brethren here on the right have been fighting each other politically for the last five years they no doubt will agrea with what Iam going to Let past differencos be banished from our midst. 1 am not going to speak to you now of what has occurred in the great state of New York, or what has occurred since we came to the city of Cincinnati. Never sgain shall I refer in any political way to what has trans- pired in the past in the state in which we live. Wo have differed simply politically; our personal relations were never severed. Thougk som: times our political anxieties led us icto making passionate remarks agatnst each other, in_our sober mo- ments, when we bave time to reflect, we see, like sensible men, that we have committed an- error, and are willing ta ask each other’s forgiveness. T think my friends here upon my right, as I stated, agree with me upon this question, that the great state of New York can not be carried anless there be a united dewocracy in that stato. Now that we are united, I think it will be safe to say to this con- vention that there can be no doubt as to what the reault will be in that state in November next. Kolly enlogized Hancock and said that he was a phalanx in the hearts of the soldiers. He predicted that he would execute the laws of the Jand by civil authority, but if ths tary arm was mneeded to quell riots or disturbances, no man could be found more capable of direct- ing it than Hancock. He called on the New York democrats to organize upon their return home, and said that if anyone shirked he would be looked uponasa traitor to the democracy. He freely forgave the convention for throwing out the Tammany del-ga- tion and thanked it for his reception In closing he sai Now It me_ropeat to my friends heae on the right from the state of New York, let us once and for all take each other by the hands and say this in common, that we have anothor dutyto perform than to be fighting each other politically in our own state. Let us unite as a band of brothers. Let ua look at each other kindly and favorably, and act together. Let me pledge again to the convention that thero can be no question whatever as to the result. When Kelly concluded Col. Jno R. Fellowe, of New York, was colled to the stand and said: “I wanted to speak from my seat in order to gather inspiration in- that direction rather than in this.” Indicating the seat oc- cupied by Kelly on the platform. [Applause.] Continuinghe reaffirmed that the action of the conveation had healed all differences and predicted that Now York would be swept bya democratic tornado, and give Han- cock 50,000 majority. As Fellows turned to leave the stand Kelly advanced to the front of the stage and before the entire convention they shook hands heartily, standing for several minutes side by side st the chairman’sdesk. The band and or- ganplayed ““Auld Lang Syne” and the multitude shouted and finally joined In_the chorus, keeping time with hauds and feet. SussnB. Authooy presented a pe- ticion in behalf of woman sufirage ask- ing that a resclution in favor of their “rights” be inserted in the platform. A resolution was presented afirming the right of citizens to trial by jury, the liberty of the press and free speech, Referred to the committee on resolutions. A resolution was offered that at the next national conyention tickets of ad- ission be given delegates, alternates, and members of the press, but to none others, to the end that the convention might be, in all respects, & delibera- tive body. Tabled. An attempt was madeto adjourn, but finally a motion to nominate & candidate for vice president was car- ried. Wm. H. English was nomidated by Gn. Pettis, of Alabama, and was sec- onded by McClernand, of Illinois, and Dan Voorhees, of Indian Trish, of Iows, nominated ex-Gov. Bishop, of Ohio, in a eulogized speech of some length, but the nomination was not seconded. One by one, as the roll was called, each of the other states supported the nomination of English, Wisconsin, the last state, was called and Col. W. F. Vilas voted that the nomination of } English be made by acclamation, and ic was carried without a dissenting voice. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, moved the appointment of a committee of ono from each state to notify the candi- dates of their nomination, but accept- od an amendment that they be noti- fiod by leter. The motion by Pettis, of Kentucky, that the District of Columbia and each of the territories be accorded repre- sontation in the national committee, was tabled. The roll of states was then called for members of the national commit. teeand for members of the national convention to notify the candidates of their nomioation. The chairmsa of the convention was added to the latter committee. A resolution was passed that the place for holding the next national convention be left to the national committee, and that the basis of rep- resentation be the same as for this convention. Resolations of thanks to the officers of the convention were passed. The convention at 3 o’clock p. m. adjourned. PRES3 COMMENTS.
