Conrad’s Card About Sim Came- ron’s Little Game. SCENES AMONG THE DELEGATES. LOUISVILLE, Sept. 4, 1872. Until four o'clock to-day the Straight-out Con- yeution might have been sald to have achieved a dair degree of success. Its candidates were gey- erally remarked to be superior to eli her Greeley nd Brown, or Grant and Wilson, in point of jhead, character, personal stature and name, “Tt is the best ticket in the field,” said several, ‘whether it get votes or no.” The native Ken- fucky and Louisville people, who had been getting pp a good deal of bad blood against the promoters of the movement, and who are fiercely for Greeley, even to the point of fighting for him, felt really A SENSE OF DEPRESSION when O’Conor was nominated, How many Just gird. Catholic votes can hé get in the North? was he anxious inquiry. To see John Quincy Adams jesert the South and give the dignity of his name Duncan’s division sent a feeling of almost ap- parent despair to these people. It looked as if the Bourbons*had engaged the services of two able people, and meant to drive Greeley to the wall, At four o'clock, however, in the midst of the counsels pf the straight-outs, when everything looked glow: Ing and benignant, ¢ BRIEF AND POSITIVE TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCE OF O’CONOR - z (was precipitated, and anger, mortification and paths followed. It was seen at once that this eml- ay lawyer's name had given the Convention al je dimension it had assumed. With his name and didacy 1t might have reasonable vitality, but ithout them nothing. It was merely Duncan’s follection of small folks, with the brother-in-law of lenry A. Wise garrulously filling the chair and ero, Q f editor of the menagerie, f Hd 3 wats 3240p utes A ee RECRIMINATION AND REBUKE FOLLOWED, , O'Conor was put under the light of keen and arting criticism, and old Mr. Lyons, Chauncey jurr, Mr. Beekman, of New York, and others jhowed a8 much temper over his defection as a juckingham laid pretence to when the modest Gloster declined tne crown, The mere spectators then began to look back over the morning’s work, pnd by a process of disillusioning as instantaneous Bs the delegates had shown, proceeded to pooh ‘pooh about the work which had been abandoned. Duncan became the subject of laughter, Mr. Lyons pf jests and gibes, General Grant and Wilson of con- @olence, The Greeley cause took wings and re- overed proportions. Mr, O’Conor had blown @own the house of cards he had constructed, and there were sad remarks, such as, He “Well, Jack Adams is left suspended to nothing, LIKE MOHAMMED'S COFFIN.” “They turned out Train too soon,” said another, “and may need him for their candidate.” ‘Train was in great glee when he heard of 0’Con- or’s declination, and being told that he had now @n opportunity left, said, “Idecline to be Mr. O’Conor’s successor in any- thing. This Bourbon party is a failure, It has wounded the spirit that had loved it.” \. The person to seize the occasion first and en- leavor to rescue dignity from ridicule was Moreau, f Indiana He is a small, wiry, black- eyed man, of good oratorical parts, su- perior appearance to the majority of those ground him, and some power of making enthusiasm. He declared that the New York dele- ‘gation had shown no sense of management, and, ‘after letting O’Conor make his own platform, &c., had failed to secure him. He moved that Mr, Lyons, of Virginia, be the nominee, and by the rks and the satiet; diggust all O'CONOR'S INDECIST ON, \presently led the dispirited of their fect, and iRyons and Adams would have been the ticket in no fr but for old Lyons himself declaring an ad- irnment voted until next morning. A wearier, ore depressed and more sullen assemblage was never seen than these people parading back to the alt House in tho growin twitight in the rear of their band of music, They were Jooked upon with. unconcealed exultation by the rebel officers and well-to-do citizens of the city, who ‘poured into the hotel to-night, huzzaed for Greeley, ‘and spread abroad such declarations and exposures ‘as that of Mr. Fisk Conrad, which is published in phe Ledger, the most conservative of the two demo- tie Gallies, but now for Greeley.

He SPOILED IT ALL, HOWEVER, BY APOLOGIZING When Mr. James Lyons, the President, add democrats of the United States of course lie did not to Include Delegate Calgrove, the carpet-bag radical dairyman from Arkansas, and the squad which Heckler marshalled from the New York Custom House. He pre- pared an open clause for them in. these words :—Gentle- men of the Convention—We met a lifelong democrat from our own county yesterday evening, who complained to us that, thouglt Hie had been regularly coummissioned deleyate to the Convention, he was unable to gain adinis- sion to that body until Duvall English, ‘A PROMINENT RADICAL, VOUCHED FOR HIM, He very innocently asked us,"‘How is this?” We hand the quéstion over fo Colonel Duncan, “How is this ;” The above extracts close the list. One of the best points yet made before this Con- vention hag been that of Hon, J. 3. Golladay, of the Russeliville, Ky., district. He is a big, hearty, forcible man, & powerful stump speaker, a man of the people. William Corry, Esq., an impracticabie but well-read man of Cincinnatt, was seeking to put some sectionalism of the Calhoun caste in the resolutions, when Golladay id said that was not the sentiment of the straight-out democrats, Making better use of he bloody chasm phrase than Mr. Boutwell, he said that ‘NO BLOODY CHASM EXISTED} that It was purely imaginary, and was created by politicians of the Greeley stamp for purposes. This Speech, delivered ina rous, impassioned, earn- est Southern style, nationalized and carried away the house, and Mr, Beekman, of New York; Judge Spalding, bapa Van Allen and others went up to shake hands with the orator, The following is the passage of oratory above referred to :— THE BLOODY CHASM IN THE CLOUDS. AVhat do yon mean by shaking hands across the bloody chasm? Iknow itis regarded in the interest of Grecley in some way, but I donot comprehend just now who made this bloody chasm, | who | keeps it molst with human hearts and dead men’s bonest Horace Greeley and Charles Sumner, the murderer, in the agon; f guilt, conceals his victim and then the evidences of his crime, and then clamors for the shaki ands across the bloody chasm—provided always his victim les cold in the chasm—and with each returning throe of conscience ¢lamorsfor some Lethe to wash away the sin and crime ofa . The democratic party khow no chasm, no sec- Honalinn, The chasm is bat Imaginary, and it has been filled long ago, and the green sod now sparkles with its nightly dews dver, the spot where blood and carnage reigned supreme. ‘Therich flowers of love, ‘ernarinarp WiFi TH TonoRr-xiwors, jaugh in rich profusion above thal memory, and we ve eared a pyramid of the Union, the conititution and the law above those green surroundiny storm arises above it @ canopy of ministering spirits guards its ascension until it kisses phe heavens and unites With kindred ‘spirits there whose, proclamation of un- wearled brotherhood and love makes the very heavens ring with the echo of charity. No chasms for inj he mock heroies, no affectation of magvaninity, but ‘uit. alloyed peace and kindness, rather than have malice and all uncharitableness there,’ No more of bloody chasm: real or Imaginary; To tionslism, but with this grea upheaval of parties let us ear And practice forbearance to each other. Seve othe Tl A Mr. Golladay has a brother in Congress, from Tennessee, who is for Greeley. The Kentucl brother will undoubtedly be returned to his seat but he does not think Andrew Johnson will beat Cheatham as Congressman at large in Tennessee, for the reason that Johnson has many enemies, and is chiefly supported by the people of Nashvilles, under a fickle and momentary renewal of their old attachment to him, “. A sort OF POLITICAL CiHA08 prevails in extremely democratic States of the South. Just as Schurz, Trnmbull and others pro- test against republican rings in the North, th Kentucky ana Tennessee people protest agains! local democratic rings and conventions within their own party. Some predict the defeat of Dr, Standiford in Louisville by an independent candidate. Whoever is accomplishing it, or by what. contraritles of counsel, all the parties are breaking up. Some Grevley democrats profess to fear that to elect him this year will not work out the results of pacification and homogencous civilization which eg be expected by further delay, The tone of the Straight-out Convention has had points of and as cach resemblance with the Cincinnati movement. Tne reactionary and the progressive are, perhaps, un- consciously working toward the same end. Gol- laday’s speech routed Corry’s foolishness, and eave a national set to the affair. Corry had said hat if John Q. Adams was a democrat he was not. Golladay replied that the straight-outs were Qs national as any party of the et To-night, at half-past ten o'clock, lt looks lke a complete evacuation of the ranche by the Bour- bons. Nearly all the New Yorkers leave, and itis not known that Adams will accept without O’Conor, The standing of these delegates is shown by the gent ie icing among them over Grang’s success ‘ermon: PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. 3 Lovisvitil, Sept, 4 iS At tet o’cfoox tho Convention was not yet called to order, though an hour after the timé to which it had adjourned, This was caused by the fact that the Committee on Platform had another meeting this morning at which it was concluded to report .a serles of resolutions in addition to O’Conor's letter, THE CONVENTION WAS CALLED TO ORDER at a quarter past ten o'clock, The Ciatk announced that the Committee on Cre- dentials had been unable yet to complete their list of delegates, but would report it during the day. Mr. Duncan called attention to the fact that a rope had been stretched across the hall, and re- quested that all persons not delegates retire be- yond it. The PRESIDENT 80 ordered. On motion it was resolved that two Sergeants-at- Arms be appointed, and the President named them, It was moved that a committee of one from each select the Ex- State be appointed by the Chair to ecutive Committee, Mr. Burr, of New Jersey, moved, as an amend- ment, that two members ‘Be named by cach State delegation as THE DEMOCRATIC GENERAL COMMITTEE of the United States. He urged the necessity of this in order to give efciency to the short cam- aign. be This Committee would, for four years, represent this true democratic organization—(cheers)—and he wanted it to bo acommittee that would com- mand the respect of the intelligence and patriotism of the country. Br. Burr's amendment was accepted. . 'r. Moor, of New York, complained that the pending. resolution did not recognize the labor ele- ment—the backbone of the party. f The PRESIDENT ruled that the labor reform ques- tion was not before the Convention, GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN arose, but was called to order as not being a delegate. TRAIN SHUNTED, Mr. DunoaN stated that Train was not a dele- gate—that he was only here by courtesy—and tho latter took his seat. The PRESIDENT said this is @ democratic Conven- tion, and could no more go outside to select com- mitteemen from labor reformers than they could go into the Odd Fellows or Masons. (Applause.) A PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATE, attempting to speak out of order, was compelled by the President to take his seat. 3 Mr. Sroxes, of South Carolina, objected to hav- ing an Executive Committee of more than one from each State. Experience had taught that more efficiency 18 secured by having a single com- mitteeman from each. Mr. Burr's resolution was adopted. ‘The PRESIDENT appointed Mr. Pennington, of the police force, Sergeant-at-Arms, with orders to in- stantly remove all disorderly persons, Mr, DAVIDSON, of Illinois, from the Gommittec on Platform, reported resolutions concurring with the principles enunciated in the letter of Mr. O’Conor, bie ning his delicacy in not seeking the nomina- jon, bu HOLDING HIM BOUND TO HOLD HIS PART in the pending conflict, and nominating him aa can- didate for the Presidency. There was great applause here, every delegate rising, cheering wildly and waving handkerchiefs, ‘There was also music by the band, followed by re- peated cheers for O'Conor. A DELEGATE from Pennsylvahia here read a few remarks, nominating Mr. O'Conor. A motion was made by several delegates to NOMINATE MR, O’OONOR BY ACCLAMATION, which was adopted. Mr. ByINGTON, of Iowa, moved that the President of the Convention immediately communicate his nomination and in the name of the democratic people of the United States here represented re- quest his acceptance, Mr, Byington sald he Bo. oged by his resolution to test the efficiency of this boat . If we nominate a ticket we become an im- portant element in the campaign. He proceeded to urge the importance of nominating a ticket which shall be a nucleus for future organization, The PRESIDENT here read his Proposed TELEGRAM TO MR. O'CONOR:— This Convention hag unanimously, and with great en. thuslasm, nominat for the ‘esl fioney on the basis or our letter, and holds you bound y Mr, DUNOAN moved to reconsider the nomination by acclamation, in order to have a call of States on the nomination—io order to show to the country that the Convention is unanimous for O'Conor.

N OuI0 DELEGATE charged tiat Pendleton was & Greeley man, and no good democrat could hon- setiy support him as a candidate before this Con- vention, Another scene of confusion ensued, Mr. DuncaN said he heard it charged that the Pendleton man was secretary of the Cincinnath Liberal Republican Committee, but this was dented, and one of the Pendleton men stated that they had had beeitproperty stated to the Convention, The Cia replied that he had certainly stated the question cleariy.

Mr. MuNROE, of Indiana, nominated A, P. Edger- ton for the same position, Here BLANTON DUNCAN asked for permission to read part of a private letter he had recetved from John Quincy Adams. The communication is as follows:— LEITER FROM J. Q, ADAMS. Buruinaton, Iowa, At 1872, Bianton Duncan, Esq. :— ; gece: Drak Sin—I have not the least hesitation in saying now that if you nominate Mr. O'Conor 1 shall support your nomination cordially. Ido not mean to say that I should support many other men that may be selected; but him I can give heart as well as hand to, and iny observations have convinced me that his name would ‘recall most of our bewildered soldiers to the ranks and secure a by no means insignificant accession from the republican camp. You perhaps realize the WIDESPREAD DisgusT Witt GRANT which pervades the Intelligence of the republican party, but T never felt its whole foree and vigor until my expe? rience in Michigan. Wisconsin, Nebraska, #0, ineed, there are men I find damn both sandidates, and accept acholce of evils as an admitted necessity, ' As to your hint about the Vice Presidency, T confess T do not covet that thing indeed, I should decline it, outright if in this case it might not stem to most tobe fauking a forlorn hope. That I don’t uke (> anpese todo, butat the same time T hope you will find a better man. Y should be any real general inclinatian to couple my name with O’Conor’s it would strain my sense of honor to refuse [fin such a fight; but for God's sake do nog push or pull tor force it. Truly, &c., QUAD AL Mr. Curry, of Louisiana, presented the name of Henry A. Wise. ee J. Davis, of West Virginia, was also nomi- nated, Mr. Curry, of Ohio, opposed the nomination of Adams, who, he said, was not a democrat, or if fame was he (Qurry) was not. He did not be- leve in . GOING INTO THE ADAMS GFMETERY. He hoped the Convention would rally to the sup- port of a Western man, A. P, Edgerton. Mr. STACKPOOLE, of Lilinois, repited, condemning Mr. Curry’s spirit of scctionalism, urging that they should take the best men regardiess of locality of gine ou Sectionalisin was the bane and curse f the country, and above all things should be put down, Mr. VANDLING, of Pennsylvania, nominated Gen- eral Hancock, Mr. Duncan, of Kentucky, said he had a letter from Mr. Hancock declining to be a candidate and saying he is out of politics, r. GASSATT, of North Carolina, urged the nomi- nation of some Southern man for Vice President. Some one named Mr. Lyon, of Virginia, who peked. to have his name withdrawn. Loud cries of ‘No, no.’ Mr, CRrang, of Ohio, urged that the Northwest should have one name on the ticket. Mr. BAYARD announced that when {t came to voting California and New jersey would vote for James Lyons, of Virginia, thee Mr. GREGQR, of ont, made a humorous speech, a by several comical stories, putting thé onvention in excellent humor, and Ce avery ludicrous expoaition of the proceedings in the nomination of Greeley at Baltimore. ‘The nominations of Davis and Hancock were here withdrawn, The Cuair having announced that according to fimibokete usage it required two-thirds to noml- ate candidates for tho Presidency and the Vice Presidency, the Secretary then stated that 404 votes were necessary to a choice.

Before the vote was announced much confusion and excitement occurred in consequence of an attempt being made by a delegate from Ohio to nominate George H. Pendleton. The charge was made that the gentleman was the secretary of the Liberal Club of Cincinnati. On this announcement the Chair was simultane- ously addressed from various parts of the house by excited individuals violently gesticulating and speaking in the loudest tones, In vain the Presi- dent hammered and called for order. The accused finally secured a hearing and declared that he is and always was a democrat, and that he had paid his own expenses to the Convention, representing the labor reform interest of Olio. ‘The report of the Committee on Resolutions, as adopted, is as follows :— THE PLATFORM, Whereas, A frequent recurrence to first principles and tel igilancs ust abuses are the wisest prov for liberty, which is the source of progress, and {1 to our constitutional system is the only protection for either, theretore, Resolved, That the original basis of our whole political, structure is consent, in every part thereof.

The Convention did not mect until four o'clock, 8, of Clarksburg, and Wil- Platt county, and WH. J. although the adjournment was until three o'clock, | and was called to order by the Chairman, The Cuam—The Convention this morning in- structed the Chairman to appoint a committee of eight to wait Ly conf the gentlemen who have been nominated. I leave toannounce that commit- tee as follows C. Moreau, of Indiana; ©. Burr, of New Jersey; 8. te ea of lowa; Spaulding, of New York; A. R. Schofield, ot Penn- sylvania; W. H. Worthington, of Mississippi; W. N. Corry, of Ohio, and W. W. Munton, of Michigan, A delegate offered the following Resolved, That the Chairman of this Convention be ap- poluted on the committee to notify the candidates of their nomination, and that he be made chairman of the same, The resolution was agreea to, Mr. MuNTON, of Michigan—My name is mentioned asamember of that committee to wait upon the nominees, I would like very much to have my name taken off and that of A.C. Barnes, of Michi- fat, substituted. It will be impossible for me to be away from home. The request was acceded to. Mr. VAN ALLEN, Of New York—I offer the follow- ing resolution :— STATE CONVENTIONS, Resolved, That the delegates of the several States here assembled he instructed to meet and appoint a temporary committee for thelr respective States, tor the purpose of calling State Conventions to place in nomination suitable electors and to transact such other business as may be necessary. The CuatR—I would suggest that it is very hard to get a State Convention together. If it should be necessary I would, therefore, suggest that the - lution be made to read “State Conventio~ wise.” In some States they wou'” call @ State Convention, * nominations made tions, .auen weene labor . vies teaches me f convention to instruct amiake that committee. I have c ue number of that committee, I leave sat w each body of delegates. It should be done at once. Iam perfectly witing to accept the amendment if there are other ways of doing the same thing. Mr. BLANTON Duncan, of Kentutky—I wish to offeran amendment. The State of Kentucky has had her State Convention and has appointed a committee. I wish to amend by addiug, “except where State Conventions have already appointed their committee.”’ Mr. VAN ALLEN, Of New York, I accept the amendment. Mr. SCHOFIELD, of Pennsylvania, I have prepared an amendment, which leaves the matter of the State Committee with the several States. It is ag foliows:— Resolved, That the members of the National Exceutive Conimittec'from the respective States and. Territories be requested to convene as early as is possible the demo- cracy in State Conventions or otherwise, for the purpose of forming gibotaral tickets and the transaction of such other business as will be necessary for the prosecution of a thorough and vigorous organization of the campaign. I offer this as @ substitute in order that the com- mittee may at onee act, Mr, Van ALLEX—It is impossible for them to get together in fac the purpose of perfecting their organization, shovld be done at once, and therefore | am opposed to this resolution. Mr. BUANTON DUNCAN—You don’t understand the resolution. Mr. VAN ALLEN—I believe it would be more satis- factory, and J speak from my own experience, and 1 think Colonel Duncan, who has had the organiza- ton of this Convention in his lands, will agree with me, that where there 1s so large a committee, fifteen or twenty, it will be dificult to get any- thing done, THE OnaIR—If you P c 1 pat in the amendment I pro- viously suggested, or otherwise you leave it to the States to determine whether in any particular they can do it better any other way. Thatis all [propose, Mr. VAN ALLEN—I accept t! amendment, Mr. BEEKMAN, of New York, offered the following resolution :— THE UNREPRESENTED STATES. Resolved. That those Siaiey not reoresentod in the nonized by | ‘outer. The pangs of | mee ORR ut f Wish to do something aboutelt, Toifer my resolution ag a substiture for the amendment of Mr. Duncan. Mr. Crank, of Michigan--I move to amend by erasing tle words “except where they have been appointed by State Conventions” and Insertlo ly exista.’? The Chalr announced the question to be on the adoption of the resolution as amended, which was read, as follows :— Resol he delogati f the several States here asseun) instructed to mect and appoint a Slave committee i vespective 8, tor the purpose calling State and district conventions, to put in nomin tion electors for their respective States, and transactsuch, other business as may be necessary, except where said © ons have viieady appointed their own. com- ‘ives; and that those States not represented in the National itive Committee take the necessary sieps to secure a a State committee in such States, Lora except where a State committee already exists, ‘The resolution, as amended, was agreed to. Mr. BAYARD, of New Jersey, offered the following resolution, which was read by the Secretary :— DEATH OR DEMORALIZATION, Resolved, That in the event of the di of either of the no: nvention for Pre or Vico President, or a vacancy on the ticket trot other cause, the National Exeetitive Committee, with the consent of two-thirds Hers thereof, are heieb; with the name of such Mr, VAN ALLEN, of New York—It 1s not expected that either of the gentlemen who have been noml- nated will decline or die, (Ap lause.) [hope that the resolution will not prevail. I moye that the resolution be laid upon the table. It is the duty of the Executive Committee, in case of a vacancy, to fill it without any instruction, Mr. Bayarp, of New Jersey—With that under- standing, and as tiiere appears to be, some objec- tion to the resolution, I withdraw it. The CHATRMAN—We are now organizing this dem- ocratic party upon what we recognize as demo- cratic principles, and one of the principles of that party is that there shall be NO IMPLIED AUTHORITY, Now, I respectfully suggest that this National Com- mittee will not have authority to fill vacancies unless you give tt to it. Mr, Bayarp, of New Jersey—After the suggestion of the Chair I withdraw my withdrawal of the reso. lution I offered, and ask the sense of the Conven- tion upon it. Mr. VAN ALLEN, of New York—The only fear I have isthatit may be implied, if that resolution goes to the country, that our candidates will de- cline our nomination, I don’t want any such impression to go abroad. When we have got » good thing we had better keep it. 1 THINK WE HAVE A GOOD THING Now. tamer my motion to lay the resolution upon the able, Mr. BAYARD, of New Jersey—Our nominces are not such gentlemen as to be Scared with anything of the kind. I beileve these gentlemen will accept the position in which we have placed them, Mr. GoopLE1—I would suggest. that the resolu- tion should be limited to case of death, and leave the resolution to stand as it 1s with that exception, Mr. Binp, of Miehigan—I was going to make the suggestion of the gentieman from New York (Mr. Van Allen). Before I started from home, these CROW EATERS WERE THROWING INTO MY FACE, “Mr. O'Conor will not accept. You can’t get any- body to accept. You are a set of bolters and out of the democratic arty.’ Now, if anythin, of this kind goes to the country it will be said these men are not going to accept. It will be said this thing was put up by the Convention to distract the democratic vote, when they kuew these men would not accept the nomination. (0 CHAIRMAN—I have in my possession that wh assures mie Charles O'Conor will accept your nomination, (Great applause.) Mr. VAN A , of New York—I insist upon my motion to lay table, The motion was agreed to, and the resolution of Mr. Bo, ardand amendments were laid upon the able, ¢ resolution and amendments upon THE ROMBSNELL BURSTS, The CHAIRMAN—A change comes over the spirit of our dream.tI have reccived a private t am which justifies me in saying what I did, that I sad no doubt of the acceptance of O’Conor. Since I ut- tered those words I have received one of an opposite character. I am bound to com- municate to the Convention that I have already sent Mr. O’Conor two telegrams. One was an- swered some time ago, and the answer to the other was received just now, Before this last re- ply no one doubted who read the first, nor did I doubt, that he would accept the nomination, but he says now that HE CANNOT ACCEPT, This announcement created a profound sensa- tion in the Convention and was applauded by the audience back of the ropes, within which were en- closed the delegates. A DELEGATE from Indiana moved that the gal- leries be cleared, which was hissed by the crowd | cutaile, The motion was not entertained by the chair. The CHarr—I will read the telegram, THE DECLINATION. ‘onx, Sept. 4, 1872. New Tore Prestnent or tHe Convention It is imposdble for me to accept. T am willing to aid you in everything but that, CHAS, CONOR, A DELEGATE—How do 7h know that telegram is genuine? J think you had better inquire if it is genuine. Mr. Haron, of New York—There is no way to tell whether it is genuine or not. I believe that Mr. O’Conor Will accept when he learns that Mr. Adams has received the nomination for Yice President. The Cuain—There was a despatch received be- fore this from Mr, O’Conor, and ail who examined tt were of opinion, from what he said, that he would accept the nomination. I telegraphed him im- mediately, What [ have read purports to be an answer to my last telegram, Whether it is a forgery or not do not know, and = at this distance from New Yerk I do not know except by telegraphing and wait- ing until a return comes, In the telegram before the last he says he has stood by us from the beginning and will continue to do so; that inflexible fidelity to an honest cause is the first law of his nature, and he asks the Convention tonominate some gentleman who had no agency in fostering our movement and he would give him his support; but he asks to be ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN PRIVATE. This led me and other gentlemen to believe he would accept the nomination if he was crowded about it. telegraphed to him after Mr. Adams was nominated and begged him to respond afiirma- tively at once, This Jast telegram is the result. What matters It if one man does decline or resign ¥ There are other men in the country whom we can rely upon to be our standard bearers, (Applause.) BLANTON DuNcaN—I_ move to reconsider the mo- tion by whica the resolution of the gentleman from New Jersey, providing forthe filling of vacaucies, was laid upon the table. 1 have just telegraphed to Judge Flanders, of New York, to know whether Mr. | O'Conor sent the telegram or whether it is a forgery. Mr. O’Conor lives in the country and we cannot get at him this afternoon. The question is whether | the Convention can rely upon the gentlemen they have pace upon the Executive Committee, and so that, if Mr. O'Vonor resuses, they can fill the va- cancy. A LONG AND RAMBLING DEBATE followed, accompanied by intense excitement and almost incessant confusion. The Pres{- dent's gavel was in frequent use, as well as his voice, commanding order. So soon ag CONFUSION WORSE CONFOURDED. If a speaker took his seat or made any perceptt- ble pause in his remarks, various delegates wor'' instantaneously endeavor to obtain t Points of order, question of privi'e resolutions, amendments 9” tions to adjourn hour _ followe? cession, © interming i, ny a tloable Yat avid aby -ceded in restoring or- bs ~wsing to entertain any mo- ara Bh sae any speaker until all delegates n . ed in quiet, «4 motion was carried to reconsider the vote taken some time previously ordering the resolu- tion empowering the National Executive Commit. tee to fill vacancies in nominations for President or Vice President to lie on the table and adopt the said resolution after Gar, it from thie table. A delegate moved to adjourn sine die, and the greatest confusion took place. A DELEGATE from Indianna (Mr. Prest)—If you adjourn without a candidate you are CONTEMPTIDLE BEFORE THE WORLD, Cries of “Let us have a candidate.” The Cuarn—!f you do adjourn I wont vote for either of the candidates. Mr. Burr, of New Jersey—Mr, Chairman, I am going to make the motion’ that when the Conven- tion adjourns it shall be to meet again to-morrow morning at nine o'clock, Iam going to spcak to | the motion. I came to the Convention for the purpose of vindicating & movement which would redeem the democratic party | from the disgrace into which it has | fallen.

Mr, Moreau, of Indiana—I move that the distin- guished chairman of the Convention—a patriot and @ statesman—le declared by acclamation the noml- nee of the Convention forthe Presidency of whe United States, (Great Bpynuse.)

THE FEELING IN THE CITY REGARD ING THE NEW CANDIDATES. Opinions from Politicians—The Flation St the Apollo Hall Democracy—Greeley~ ites Coniident—What Grant Men Say= The Irish Strong in Favor of O’Conore: WII He Accept? It could hardly be said that’ the nomination of Charles O’Conor by the Louisville Convention yes- terday created any excitement or enthusiasm m this city, The result had been too much antici- pated for this, as it was well known that the “straights” would not and could not nominate any other available candidate. In spite of this apparent want of interest which just now unaccountably pervades all political circles, tt was evident, by a little mingling with the masses, that the fecling re- garding the nomination was much more deeply seated than at first appeared, The bulletin boards of the several morning and evening newspapers at- tracted crowds of the curious, and the conversa- tions at the various ones naturally ditercd radi- cally in sentiment. Almost as soon as the nomination was made in Louisville reporter of the HERALD was despatched to look up Mr, O’Conor, and interview him on the probability of his acceptance of the nomination of the morning, as his letter published in the papers left the matter (with true lawyer's shrewdness) in a state of the most alarming uncertainty. Nobody attached much importance to the apparent refusal 2 ACCEPT THE NOMINATION ; butit has now become a matter of custom that those most anxious always begin to show thoir dis- interestedness by refusing in advance. Horatio Seymour's appliance of this little “wrinkle” at the Democratic Convention of 1868 is still quite fresh in the public memory, The HERanp reporter went. down to Mr. O'Conor’s office in Wall street, and found that the great legal nominee had not been down during the day. This was somewhat of a disappointment, particularly as the ancient clerk could give no very definite idea of. Mr. O’Conor’s whereabouts, The reporter therefore started for Fort Washington Heights, the residence of Mr. O’Conor, ‘Taking his way up the bill he soon. arrived at THE LAWYER'S RESIDENCE, 7. at the door, which soon opened, ‘ds Mr. O'Conor int’? ° “No; Mr. O’Conor went away early this morning, and I don't think will return till late.” No amount of questioning could succeed in get- eg more than this, so the HERALD representative turned disconsolately away. Subsequently he called at the rooms of the Man- hattan and Union Clubs, in Fifth avenue, and the Century, in Fifteenth street, all of which Mr. O'Conor is in the habit of frequenting. He had been at none of them during the day, and, in short, it became evident that the gentleman was purposely avoiding public observa- . tion, and had shut himself up in some obscure cor- ner, from which he could not be disiodged without some exceedingly intimate knowledge of his habita and customs. If then became evident that the job might as well be given up as the next best thing. The reporter then stayted for the Liberal Republi- can Heaquaiters, in the Glenhum House, An une mistakable GLOOM MAD SETTLED over this interesting political oasis, A few evie dently well-worn politicians were discussing abstract questions of right and principe. Aa . little reference as possibie was given to the main question of the day—the Louisville nomination, Perhaps the result of the election in Vermont was the cause; perhaps the nomination of the O'Conor ticket; but it was certain the feeling was not as buoyant as it had been among the liberal re- publicans, Mr. Ethan Allen was absent; but the HERALD representative ventured one or two timid questions as to the O'Conor ticket, which were re-, ceived with no signs of favor, One old gentlemant said to the HERALD representative— “Look here, young man, you want to know too much, We kuow nothing about O’Conor here,” Somebody else supplemented the phrase with “and don't want to” very roughly growled out, The reporter left and went over to the Grant headquarters. WHAT GRANT MEN SAY, Just as much depressed as were the Greeley men at the headquarters so were the Grant men elated ut their headquarters, It is true there was a cer- tain shade of anxiety mixed with their joy. The: Were loud in their praises of the patriotism of th Louisville delegates, and often said what good men they were. Some appeared to feel, however, as |? the movement was a little more serious th= had at first anticipated it might be.

Mr. Barrerr—That I know, but can't say. ‘This was said in such a manner as to lead the HERALD man to think Mr. O'Conor would accept. + The HERALD reporter saw Mr. Fernando Wood, He believes that the Louisville matter will help, Greeley by taking away a lot of the votes of demoe crats from Grant who would not vote for Greeley, Mr, Wood says he is a strong Greeley man, Among the Irish the fecling is strong in favor of O’Conor, and amoug Americans it appears to be regarded with a good deal of favor, in cousequence of Adams’ nomination, TENNESSEE.
