The Cincinnati Convention.
The delegates from the different
States representing Democratic princi¬
ples and sentiments of the country,
have, as the telegraphic reports of the
proceedings of the Convention show,
gone to work in a praiseworthy and
business-like manner, and with a more
decided unanimity than the most san¬
guine anticipated, to bring about the
nomination of a Presidential candidate
who may be supported by the people
with confidence in his broad, compre’
hensive sense of patriotism which ig¬
nores sectionalism, in his unquestioned
honesty, and in his capacity to restore
to the people a faithful and legitimate
administration of every department of
the Government, The passions and
prejudices of a few designing indi¬
viduals have already been emphatical¬
ly condemned and personal favoritism
is disregarded as inimical to the spirit
which controls young Democracy in
their National Convention. Tne sen¬
timent of those who are now in coun¬
cil at Cincinnati is expressed to the ef¬
fect that, if you have local antipa¬
thies or exclusively State antagonisms
fight them out in your elections for
municipal or State officers: “Do not
bring them into this Convention or
Presidential canvass. A National Con¬
vention is not the forum wherein State
or local auimosities are to be adjudi¬
cated and we rule you out of order.
Sit down !”
If this is not the spirit which appears
in a measure to have prompted the
action of the Cincinnati Convention
yesterday we are badly mistaken. We
believe it is the intention of the Con¬
vention to represent the seutiment cf
a National not a State Democracy, and
that the nomination of a Presidential
candidate will be the reflex of the soul
and faith, the honor, the integrity, the
energy, and the intentions and pur¬
poses of the young Democracy of the
United States. In other words, we be¬
lieve the nominee will represent the
party of the whole country, aud not
that of a ring or of a State, or of a
wing of the organization. The De¬
mocracy of the South with commenda¬
ble patriotism, says to the party in the
North ami West : “We desire peace,
union, fraternal unity, happiness and
prosperity ; hut, hy some we are doubt¬
ed. Therefore nominate an able and
honest statesman, who will conscien¬
tiously' administer the government for
the benefit of the whole people, and we
will assist you to elect him.’’
The selection of the Hou. John W.
Stevenson, of Kentucky, as per¬
manent Chairman, was a very
wise aud judicious proceeding.
Governor Stevenson was formerly the
Chiet Magistrate of Kentucky, and
his administration of the affairs of
that State was distinguished as able,
honest aud brilliant, and reflected
honor on those by whom he was
chosen to the office. He is a fit repre
sentative of the National Democracy of
the Union, though his reputation i 9 u
State or local one. Consequently, we
regard the present Convention with
pride and are very hopeful that its
proceedings will coutiuue to be har
monious aud that i's nominee will be
an honor to tile Democracy of the
nation.

[special dispatches to recorder.]
Cincinnati, 10 a m. —The Con¬
vention has not yet been called to order
bat delegates and spectators are crowd¬
ing ing Music Hall. The Randall
banner has just been borne on to the
stage, and was received with cheers.
The Committee on Credentials, by a
vote of 32 to 5, has voted to exclude
the Tammany delegation.
The Massachusetts delegates are re¬
ported to have settled the question of
seating the contestants from that State
among themselves.
The Woman’s Suffragists have pre¬
sented an address to the Convention
in favor—first, of the right of individ
als,and second, of the recognition of the
exact equality of those rights.
The Convention was called to order
at 10.30 am
The Committee on Organization has
submitted their report which is being
rea( j
The Committee on Credentials next
offered their report and the reading of
it is now being heard. Among other
subjects they report against the admis
sion of the contestants from Massa
chusetts and Pennsylvania.
The minority report of the Commit
tee on Credentials was presented by
Mr. Can oil, of Kansas, aud favors the
admission ol the contesting delegates
from New lork and allowing them a
vote of 20. it also recommends that
the vote of the regular be
limited to 50. The recommendation of
the minority report was received with
cheers and hisses, the latter predomi
U The'roll
of States is being called on
the question of adopting the majority
report of the Committee on Credentials,
It has been moved that the advocates
of the majoiity report of the Commit
tee on Credentials be allowed one hour
to debate their side of the question and
that the contestants be allowed forty
minutes to present their claims.
Mr. Kelly of New York, was caUed
to present, the claims of contestants
from that State, but was absent from
the hall. Mr. George W. Miller of
Albany, then appeared and spoke in
favor of the contestants.
11:50 a. M — Mr. Miller has appeal¬
ed to the cool deliberations of the Con
vention on the question involved, as its
proper settlement is necessary to the
success ot Democracy iu the coming
election. He said: “These contesting
delegates represent over 40,000 votes
outside of the city of New York." He
spoke in eulogistic terms of Mr. Kelly,
which remarks weie received with
cheers , and ... hisses. He xt referred c i •
in very
complimentary language to Mr.
ard.and stated that the voters whom
the contestants represented would
port any man nominated hy the Cou
vention. | Loud Cheering, j
12.09 p. m.—J udge Barker, and
after him Governor Hubbard, of
addressed the Couveutiou. Both ad
vocated the adoption of the minority
report of the Committee on Credentials,
by which the anti-Tammany } vote would
i be DU PA and 3 .1 the m iammany vote L on 20. rm ihe
Govemor stated thev could not afford
to ignore the minority report as Aew
York would be the battle ground in
November and their 75,000 votes
might save that State to the Demo
cracy.
2:29 r. m. —Mr. Fellows of New York
spoke in favor of the majority report.
He said the question was whether New
York had the right to arrange tor her
representation in the Convention, or
whether it should be arranged by her
sister States He then proceeded to re¬
view the history of the Contention iu
New York.
The Convention rejected the minori¬
ty report by a vote oi 457 to 205.
Tne majority report was then adopt
id.
The contestants from New York were
then invited to seats on the lloor.
The report of the Committee on
Governor ? ermanent Stevenson Organization then tookthechair was adopted. ’

platform and presented the name of
Judge Field, saying that the Demo¬
cracy had now an opportunity to se¬
lect a standard bearer who would cer¬
tainly insure success and victory to the
party. Colorado seconded the nomi*
tion of Judge Field.
When Deleware was called great
and prolonged cheering took place, and
Mr. Geo. Gray took the platform for
the purpose of presenting the name of
Senator Bayard.
When Mr. Gray mentioned the name
of Bayard the greatest cheering and
applause prevailed, the delegates and
spectators in the galleries rising to
their feet.
3:10 p. m —As we go to press, the
latest from the Convention is, that the
call of States has reached Illinois, when
Mr. Marshall presented the name of
Mr. Morrison of Illinois.
Wants to Hear,
The Sylvania Telephone wants to
hear from the people as to their choice
for member of Congress from this dis¬
trict. It says :
But we will not be satisfied with a
man who will be a mere figure-head,
doing nothing but voting and knowing
nothing but to secure an appropriation
for some special purpose. We want a
man who will be heard from and re¬

A reporter of the Atlanta Constitution
interviewed lion. Emory Speer as to his
candidacy, and Mr. S. talks out like
a frank aud candid man. There is no
false modesty about him, nor any affec¬

men.
