It is only an sdminfstrative body during the cam- palgn, to oct for the candidates, and lins no exeeutlve powers allotted to [t so far s purging a ticket nominated by a rerular Conventlon s concerned.

The Workingmen were not exactly pleased with the outeome of the confere but, as thelr men hind agreed to ablde the decisfon of the Conference Cominittees, tiere was no help for it, althourh McLauuznhlin was heard to ddnrkly hint that the thing wasn't scttled until the Tiemocratic County Central Committeo hail efther set the seul of fts approval on the result or thrown the thing overboard altogether, It was not the general oplnion xmmnF the Demo- crats, however, ‘that the Central Cominlttee would he bothered with anv request to further conslder the matter, It lmving already passed out of thelr hunda. = RIECIEL, To the Editer of The Tribune, Cascaao, Oct.

Tne Gireenbackers thionght it pret- ty certain that Wallace would decline, and were connting on a ool show for Hammond. When Judge Wallace was walted upon yestenlay mnmlngi. he rather encouraged the Working- men and discouraged the Greenbackers hy say- 1 that it would take him Ll 6 o'clock to give a deciled answer. Indeed, so encourazed disl the Workingmen feel that they hastenod over to the other feilows’ hewlquarters aml used atl the persuasive facultivs they possessed to endeavor to induce the soft-shells into taking up Wallace anyhow, and letting Dave Hammond drop, Arguments were pited for hours, and not without effeet, ‘The Ureenbackers—that [s the tolerably sensible portion of thom—eaw that flammond would prove an olephant on their hands; that Wallace was popular nut only with the Workinginen but with the better class of Democrats: and that, In short, their best hopes of building up a big vote lay in tuking Wallace, it he would run, and drepplug Hammond, No _narecment, of course, that. wouht be binding could be made untll the ovening meeting with the Workingmen, when Wallace's answer would be forthcomning, amd the wholo mh{ml wonld come np for dis- cussion nnd possible’ scttlement. 8o they con- tinued to atnuse themselves with windy talk and lield themselves resdy for tho cyealng meeting.

McGllvray moved that the party proceed to the formation of a ticket. A delegate sald there was too much red tape about It. Condon offered a._resolutlon that the Indus- trinls afliliate with tho Greenbackers, in which Cain concurred.
