REPUBLICAN GAINS AND A MAJORITY OF NOT LESS THAN 25,000 IN THE STATE. Eighty-six towns in Vermont give Converse 22,071, and Gardner 9,222. These towns em- brace about one-half of the vote of the state and indicates a republican in the state of not less than 25,000. One and one towns return 95 republicans, 5 democrats, and 1 liberal republican to the legislature. The ro- publicans voting for Greeley state ticket will not exceed 2.500. Itis regarded as —, certain that the majority of two years ago will be increased, instead of cut down to ten or fif- t.en thousand, as predicted by the Greeley pa- Ts. In Rutland, the stronghold of Greeleyism Sonverse, republican, for governor, receives 770, and Gardener, Democrat, (33—a democrat- ic gain of over 600 votes since 1868; but Rutland county in the fourteen towns haard from gives 1911 majority tor Converse. The balance of the county will increase the majority over the republican majority of 1370. In Burlington the hea: i-st vote ever polled wascast. The gowth of the city has been largely incerased by citi- zens of foreign birth, and the vote showed a tocol nm | democrat increase. The liberal republicans polied 30 votes.

The address is entitled “Greeley or Grant.” ESehctraptin, etal he stated his reasons at length for believing Grant unfit for President. In considering the reasons which favor Greeley, be says: First, Greeley represents the reform civil service with the one-term principle, with- out which this reform is a sham; secondly, he Tepresents reconciliation, which 18 ‘cmsenticl to the repose of the countryand the safeguard of equal rights, and does not represent those per- sonal pretensions so utterly Inconsistent with republican government which are now known asGrantism.

The general election held there on the 17th ul! to decide whether the province would become member of the Dominion, resulted in the nega- tive by an overwhelming majority. An Ameri- can correspondent, writing from Charlottetown, Says: ‘+2 was not a little surprised and delighted to witness the star and stripes amid a goodly display of provincial and British emblems, To- night there will be a grand procession, attended by bands of music and torchlights. At this hour—5:50 p. m.—a salute of one handred guns is fring on the Jawn in front of the Hous of Assembly. Enthusiasm prevailsin every quare ter. Several calls for cheers in behalf of the stars and stripes were loudly responded to on several occasions during the interval betwesn speeches. No effort was made by the police to interfere with the more ardent annexationists.”” D-sarrortep Love Axo Dgats.—Honry Quackenbush, of Hackensack, N. ¥., who shot himself on Thursday last, died of his wound Monday.

The Permanent Organization — Let- terof Mr. Charlies O'cen! Blanton Duncan, in his speech calling the Louisville convention to order yesterday said that the action of the Greeley Democrats is invalid and void. It has no binding effect apou other individual members of the party, au‘ it has already been repudiated by hu thousands. No spirit of presumption or wardness has induced the gentlemen who ac with me to appeal to American democra' against the flagrant violation of party faith ani Utter’ negation of principles involved in the nomination of Greeley. 'e did it with a higher avd nobler motive. We did it to vindicate truth and to protest against the offered reward for Political treason te one who had occapied a } time im the bitterest animadversion of thove whose support he now has songht. If our call had been a failure, our dety would have been none the less performed; butithere was a sympa- thetic chord in the American heart whici re- sponded in sympathetic and harmonious tones to the musician's touch.” z . Chatfield, who was chosen temporary chairman, said: “As long as the democratic party was true to its principles the people of the nited States were true to the party. [ A) It only lost its power when their tendency centralization got control. He had no do: that ir the party had not been sold out cloven down at the Baltimore convention the democratic party would have surely triumphed in the approaching contest. Their assumed rep- resentatives sold out the party to an oid white coat and hat, for, let me tell you, that is all there is of him.”’ (Applause. ‘The speaker denied that delegates had any right to transfer him or his hearers to the repub- lican party or Greeley. [Applause.] And con- tinued: “We are here to see if we canuot cor- rect that transaction.” TRE LETTER OF CHARLES O0'CONOR. After our report closed yesterday, Charies O’Conor’s letter, heretofore referred to, was read. It revie' together with the various issues now engaging public attention. He says: “Governmental intermeddling with those concerns of society, which, under judicious laws, might beneficial { be left to individual action, is the only real evil actualiy developed in our system. * #* Now, of this practice, above all other living Americans, Mr. Greeley is the recognized champion, and no body of organized opponents to it has ever existed in the country except the democratic party. Yet by the decree of a con- vention assuming to represent that party, Gree- ley bas been gazetted as its standard-bearer. * * * Aside, then, from party sentiment. my views of the public interests and existing uublic necessities compel me to repudiate the Baltimore nomination of Greeley whenever speaking or writing on the subject. I have uni formly condemned it,and declared my reai nesg to support a democratic candidate. This circumstance has led to a supposition in some quarters that I had —— to office, and it has been suggested that my name might be offered to your acceptance as @ candidate. The object of this letter is to avoid oe on of those points. If compelled to decide between Grant and Greeley as candidates for the Presi- dency, @ democratic elector must rely very much upon mere conjecture. Those inclining tothe choice of evil suggest that a mitigation of the oppressions at the Si would resalt from his success, There » however, be equal ground to hope for that good result in either issue of this rivairy. Once bis second term shall have been .ecured, General Grant's only motive for inflicting misery on that portion of his countrymen will cease.” In conclusion, he endorses the convention, but DECLINES TO BE A CANDIDATE, saying: Success should, of course, be the object in = Eo condition of affairs. Another leade} ip will aftord a better of obtaining it. A choice can be made from many equally reliable as reformers, et more Fe once of public Office. and yet less likely to com! formidable elements of op} . * * * A love of that absolute independence which can hardly be maintained in public office, a to pro- mote your success instead of impeding it, and a belief that I can thus best perform the indi- vidual citizen’s quota of public service, have created in my mind an unalterable resolve to remain in private station. ‘Tbe letter was referred to the platfo-m com- and a committee on credentials was ap- pointed.

LSpecial Dispatches to The Evening Star. Lovisvitie, Sept. 4, 1672—11.50 a. m—The convention opened with a lively contest over the composition of the National Execative Com- mittee. Chauncey C. Burr moved that the com- mittee consist of two members from each state, upon which Mr. Moore, labor reformer, de- manded, frantically, that the labor element should be represented on the committee. Geo. Francis Train here jumped to his feet and wanted to know who composed the demo- cratic party? To which Blanton Dancan an- swered that Train had no business here, and was admitted to the hall only by courtesy. ‘The president ordered Train to sit down or be would have him pat out. Mr. Donabue, a del ag 4 from Pennsylvania, here attempted to get the floor, but was repeat- edly ruled out of order, and finally was taken off by the police. ‘Burr's resolation for two members from each state on the committee was then adopted. THE O'CONOR FURORE. The first resolutiou from the committee on resolutions nominated Charles O'Conor, which was received with the utmost enthusiasm and confusion. Half the delegates were on their feet shouting and ad ing the chair at the same time. ‘The labor reformers and others wanted to know if O*Connor had been nominated. Some delegates demanded a call of States, bat the Majority would hear to nothing, and the chair was instructed to telegraph ©'Conor and find out whether he would accept. The friends of O’Conor would not permit any discussion, and one speaker declared that if anybody disputed the fact the sergeant-at-arms would pat bim out.
