OIKC?SHATI, June 22.
At MOOD the organ played a medley of
National Airs, with excellent effect, elic
iting much applause. About two-thirds
of tpe delegates were In their seats and
the platform end galleries were Oiled.
??x-Senntor Barnum, of Connecticut,
imirman of tho Democratic National
Committee, called the Convention to
order at .12.46 p. m., and presented tho
Hov. Charlea W. Wcndte, of tho Unita
rian Church, who invoked the throne of
Grace. He spoke of the young Democ
racy of America, having bc-x?me the
refuge and asylum for the distressed and
down-trodden throughout the world, and
the light and hope-) of the Nations, and
prayed that with unfaltering band every
unjust law On tho Statute Book might be
erased and our political life purgea from
evety evil that keeps back the people
from the highest measure of virtue and
happiness. Above all, he continued, let
there be an end of all sectional divisions
and strifes. Let every root of bitterness,
every occasion of estrangement be re
moved, and let our whole p sople, forget
ting the things that are. behind, and
tressing forward to the things that are
efore, be united, heart ana hand, in
bonds'of mutual' confidence and good
will. Help this Convention to choose for
leaders in the approaching and honorable
struggle men of large wisdom and expe
rience, of lofty character and irreproach
able life, men true and fearless in tho
hour of trial, yet ardent lovers of justice
and peace. Enable the members of this
Convention tn rise above all self-seeking
and personal preferences and discreet
party zeal into the larger sentiment of
public good, of. American nationality
and human bfoiu?ruou?. Let them
remember that ho serves his party best
who best serves God. We ask thc. our
action to-day may be well pleasing in the
sight of Goa.
Mr. Barnum then by direction of the
National Hommittca pre?roted the name
of the H?h." Geo. lioadtey, of Ohio,
temporary chairman. Agreed to. Messrs.
Wm. L. Scott and H. D. McHenry were
appointed to conduct him to tho chair.
Judge Hoadley's approach to the plat
form was greeted with applause. The
Judge proceeded to address the commit?
. tee and Convention. He thanked them
for their complimentary action in putting
him in the chair. He pledged himself
to the strictest impartiality in the admin
istration of the duties assigned to him.
This was: tho- only adequate method by
"which he could testify his gratitvde as
chairman. He would be neither the
friend or foe of any candidate, though
he had bis favorite in whose behalf he
was both earnest and partisan. He took
the ground that the representatives here
wero not delegates of Congressional dis
tricts, but representativo of indestructi
ble Staten. [Subdued applause.] He
^ proceeded with some laudation of the
* Democratic' party, for which this Con
vention' t.'?ula make no new creed, whicb
baa its own vitality and which would not
depend for its future on tho success of itt
ticket, or be crushed out by its defeat,
Their duties-here were simply to declare
the party will. The occasion was one ol
great interest and importance. At St
Louis four y cara ago they placed ir
nomination two of the foremost men o
the Nation. [Grent applause.] A sub
sequent repetition of tho name VSamue
J. Tilden" waa the occasion for nnothei
outburst; tho - delegates-rising in theil
neats and cheering and waving their fans
Ho asserted that they were aa certainly
elected as was Washington or Monroe
[Subdued applause.] He denounced tin
Republican party as one of fraud, whiol
cheated tho people out of their choice
thus proving their infidelity to Republi
can principles. But if the Democrat!'
party should again bo successful no CUD
ning dovico of dishonest' arbitrstioi
?li nu ld rob thora of tho - fruits of thai
victory. [Applause] Although tb
Democrats failed' to inaugurate thci
candidates,- their1 cause was not wholl;
'.ost. They defeated the attempt to slea
the State Government, in Florida, and n
trace remained of tho carpet-baggers i:
thu South except $170,000,000 of Stat
debts accumulated by thom as a b?rde
upon the people, and the'fact that Lou
kiana hos only one rightful senator i
Congress. [Applause.]

Second Jiay'u Proceeding*.
CINCINNATI, June 23.
The committeo on credentials re
assembled at 7.80 last, night. An hour
and a half waa allowed for the presenta
tion of the case of the Tammany con
testants.
All that Tammany asked was that its
representative be allowed equal represen
tation in tbe Convention with the sitting
delegates, and this waa asked in the name
of harmony in the party in New York
with the statement that were it refused
it would endanger the national ticket in
that State, and the Democratic party was
not in a position to lose one chance.
The sitting delegates replied that the
admission of Tammany would lose aa
many votes for tho Democracy as Tam
many could bring it. At ll o'clock the
committee closed its doors, and went into
the secret consideration of the case.
TI"r_ - J ": _ _ -~ -- ~e .u"-i__
asked Kelly whether if his delegation
was admitted, he would pledge himself
to support the nominee of the Conven
tion, whoever he might be, saying that
his voto on the contest would bo influ
enced by Kelly's answer. Kelly replied 1
that sneaking freely and frankly for
himself alone, he would aay if ho was
admitted to the Convention, and Samuel
J.JTilden were nominated he would and
could not support him ; but that if any 1
Other man wero nominated he would
work his best for the nominee's election.
Judge Comstock replied lo the same
ouMtion that he would support the ;
nominee of the Convention unless he was
a murderer, thief or felon.
At 12.15 tho committee by a voto of
82 to 4 (Arkansas, Colorado, Now Jersey .
and Delaware voting "no") voted in
favor of allowing the sitting delegates
from New York to retain their seats. 1
M ?Ba Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Mere
wether and other representatives of tho
Woman's Suffrage Association, were 1
allowed to present their case aud make 1
arguments of considerable length. The '
representatives of different States then ]

one or moro were submitted from most of ;
the Staten All wero referred to a 8ub* 1
committee ot nine.
At 10 o'clock, not twenty-five delegates :
were in their eeata, and the galleries only
two-thirds full. The usual demonstra
tions of applause were made as the 1
prominent gentlemen came in, and when ;
the banners of the Bandall and other
political clubs passed up the aisles. The <
fact is unmistakable, however, that there '
ia here much leos of this sort of outside <
pressure for individual candidstet than
there was at Chicago, The circular of
the National Woman's Suffrage Associa-.
lion was distributed through tho Hall, 1
signed by Mrs. Cage, as Chairmar; .

thc insertion in the platform ot a plank 1
filedging the Democratic party to use all
ts Dower to secure to tho women of the
nation protection in the exercise of their 1
rights of suffrage. Tho woman's suffrage
representatives were honoied with sar
castic applause from the audience ns they 1
took their sears.
After a brilliant voluntary on the
ergab, the military band -played vari?os
nation's)! and operatic airs; "Yankee '
Doodle" alone seemed to arouso tbo au- 1
dionce. Tho Convention was called to 1
order at 10.40,'when eli. the delegates 1
appeared to be on bandi ' Prayer was '
oflercd by the Rev. Dr. Chas. Taylor, of
Covington, Kentucky. He prayed for 1
harmony, and the yielding of all personal 1
preferences to the general welfare. ' ?
Mr. Stantenberry, of Indiana, moved a !
refution that cu-'iving soldiers of the 1
Moxican war, .'.id their widows and ;
orphans should JO put, by Congress, ob
the same footing as the soldiers of 1812.
Referred to tho platform committee.
The chair announced that tho first
business in order was tho report of the

tcrval ot several minutes before there j
waa any response. Meantime the chair I
ordered to bo read a telegram from Rey
nolca Basin of Now York, saying : "Bon

"Louder, ioudor. Let the clerk read it."
The following is a synopsis of tho
majority and minority reports : The ma
jority report of the committee on creden
tials was read as follows : Massachusetts
-two delegations are present from >Ias
sachusetts, one known as the Fanciul
Hall delegation, and the other ns the
Mechanics'.Hall Convention. By joint
request made by the delegation to the
-,^amittee on credentials, we earnestly
-..om mend that both delegations bo
admitted to scats in tho Convention, the
united delegations to cast the vote tc
which the State is entitled. [Applause.]
Pennsylvania-In tho case of tho con
testing delegations from tboTweuty-sixih
Congressional District of Pennsylvania,
we report that the sitting delegates arc
entitled tc retain their 6eats as membert
of the Convention.
New York-Tho committee have care
fully examined all the evidenco brough!
before it bearing on the contested eas?
from the State of New York. It rare
fully and patiently considered all tl?
facts in the contest, and weighed tin
evidence presented by both sides, a u) b]
a singularly unanimous vote if allowi
the sitting <aembers to retain th tl.- seats
[General applause, except from Tarn
many benches.] With these exceptio <;,
there was uo contest before the commit
tee, and wo herewith submit a list o
delegates daly entitled to seats.
The minority report was read by Mi
Carroll of Kansas, one of the committee
os follows :
"After heaving tho contesting delega
tiona from the State of New York, w
find that the State is divided into tw
factions, each having all essentials c
nnrfA?t Murty or?i?.!?\?iit!'_'?? and each sa
Buming* to 'represent regularly a larg
body of Democratic voters of that State
that each of said party divisions hus bel
a State Convention under & regular cal
and has duly elected delegates to renn
sent the State of New York in the Cori
vention; that the attitude of these fa<
tiona is precisely analogous to that of th
Democrats of that State in 1856 ; that I
unite the party at that time, the Nntiom
Convention divided the delegations, a
lowing each to cast half the votes 1
which the State was entitled in that Cot
vention ; that such action united the part
in tho State of New York, and eventuate
the election of a Democratic Presiden
We believe that a similar course at th
time will result in n kindred success, ar
we therefore recommend the adoption i
the following resolution :
"Resolved, That the Faulkner bronc
nf Democratic delegation from the Sta
if New York be allowed to cast fifty vot
in this Convention, and that tho Sbak
ipr ar 3 Hall Democracy be allowed
cast twenty votes in said Convention, ai
that each of said divisions shall dote
min J its methods of counting BUI
votas."
After the reports had been folly ai
freely discussed, a vote was taken on tl
substitution of the minority report, whi
Btood 205} for and 457 against. So t
minority report was rejected.
The question recurring on the adc
tion of the majority report, it was adc
ted by a rira voce vote amid grent s
pl ouse.
A resolution was adopted inviting t
contestants from New York to seats
the floor of the Convention during
session.
On motion of Martin, of Delaware, t
roport and resolution from the commit

Tho call for Indiana was the signal for
the most enthusiastic cheering outside
the delegates' seats, which was renewed
wildly as the banner of Thomas A. Hen
dricks moved from the rear platform.
Senator Voorbses, of Indiana, desired
to present the name ol a distinguished
citizen of Indiana, who was fit to bo
President. Aftrr complimentary allu
sions to all the candidates already pre
sented, all of whom he knew were worthy
of every honor, he Haid, that there was
none, however, with more commendation
in tho works of his life than attached to
Thoa. A. Hendricks. [Great applause.]
Indiana bad for twenty years been sn
important battlo ground of tho Demo
cratic party and alie bad never faltered
with Hendricks in tho front. [Applause.]
There were no divided councils in Indi
ana. There waa no treachery here. Thoy
were unanimous and cordial in their pre
sentation of the gentleman whom he had
named. He was worthy of all support,
and hts administration, if nominated and
elected, would prove as successful as his
administration in every station he had
filled in the past. To tho South, who
had been more faithful ? To the North,
who had been truer ? Indiana bad nailed
bia colors to the mast, would stand by
them and go down with them in honor if
need be.
But if Indiana's hopes wero realized
here, it would be the presage of a great
victory. (Applause.)
When Illinois was called Samuel S.
Marshall, after a somewhat tiresome,
funeral political speech .in which he was
aterrupted by impatient calla of "lime,
time," and confusion, said the American
people now demand as their leader a
man worthy of the cause. Onoof inflexi
bio honor, indomitable courage ; a mnn of
the people : one who is a legislator, and
finally, on behalf of unanimous Illinois
he named the gallant soldier, Wr,. B.
Morrison.
When Massachusetts was call?id on,
Mr. Salstonstall ascended the platform to
second tho nomination of Bayard, [Ap
plause.] They all desired candidates who
would elevate the stations to which they
would ho called, who would honor then
offices more than they would be honored
by them. Such a man was Bayard
His nomination would excite throughout
tho land the greatest enthusiasm and at

tho best, and the beat would bo the mos

upon bis life, public or private, like hi

for President of the United States.
New York being called, voices in tb
galleries called "Tilden 1 Tilden I'* an

Ohio was called, Mr. Sweeny of that Stat
took the platform and read a speech, i
which he said that the Democracy <

What the Crcdli, Mobilier Was.
No biographical sketch of tho Repub-t
itcan candidats fer President is co?splsis {
.without an allusion; to the Credit Mo*
bilior and many people b&ve forgotton
what that was. It the most stupendous,
swindlo ir." tho century. Some fifteen or
?latea* ,y?ara ago the United States Gow 11
ernmsut, in its great desire to encourage1
tho building of the XInion Pacifie and
Contral'Pacifio Railroads, offered most ,
liberal aid. Iv\t>.*ea charter with ?ne j j
Hundred milliot. capital,-backed by a1
loan of sixty millions cvf dollars, sud a
land grant of Iwen.'y ruUUons of aerea,
But even this was not ?mocch to induce
cautions capital to unocrtscto ?-he v iv
turo. So yet moro liberal' tnrma wro >
offered. - A bill was reported by a. com? \
liiittco, of which Oakes Ames was a mern- !
ber and waa passed , by Congress, em- ?
powering tho companies to issuo Uah- )
owe bonds for aa amen?t equal io ?hst} .
offered by the: government, the t said U
bonds, to be first mortgage, .beside* -i
which, tho roads wero allowed to issue i
construction bonds many mile? in ad*
vance of construction. Some New York j
nod Massachusetts capitalists, beads-, by
Ames, took hold of. the. charter. The j
government was offering old to build the j
road, ranging in amounts from $64,000 ,
to 996,600 per milo, wbilo the engineer <
of tho company had .estimated that ita ;J
outsido cost would range from thirty tb ;
forty-seven thousand dollars per mile.
How to defraud the Treasury of the vast >
amount which waa tbe difference between j
theso two Bums, was ti e problem whiph "
puzzled Ames and his follows. Ho soir? I j
ed it, and this was bis solution : An- j j
other corporation should be formed, or j j
j rather a corporVion bearing an other
name, whose stock should bo owned in
?ni???ui c^??? to their shares of raiirot'd
stockholders. Thia company - should
take tbe contract for building.the read,
should pay the coat thereof out cf tho
government grant, and divide among ita
stockholders the immense profit remain
ing. Tho sham corporation wr* orwasn
teed under the name of "Tho Pennsy?va-1
nia riscal Agency,'' : which was shortly
changed to that of "Tho Credit Mcblfr,
ier." The work xn?- doue ; at a coati to j i

profits a single contract (and there wera
several ). cash di vidente wera paid j ]
amounting to upwards of twenty million
of dollars, or nearly Ave bu rid red. per
cent on the par of stock. Now began
threats of investigation by Ccdgrcss into
tbe conduct of the work. A. Mr. Mc
comb entered ault for tho possession of
some Btock he claimed, and by tho pub
lication of certain letters from; Ames
called public attention to tho matter.
Ames was empowered to bribe what in
fluential member*! of Congress he could,
and aeon reported that the had "placed
three hnudred and forty-three shares Of
stock wbot? tho* would da viS-sS

so bribed waa James A. Garfield, of Chlo;
The bribery leaked cut, and tho famous
Poland committee was aprxdnted. to it-,

undoubtedly intended to bribe. So-*.a
