THE JUDICIARY. | ‘The Tammany Hall Judiciary Con- vention Yesterday, Vamee H, Leonard for Justice of the Su- * preme Court, James C, Spencer for Justion of the Superior Court and Gunning 8. Bedford for City Judge. "THE NOMINATIONS MADE BY ACCLAMATION & Hively Fight Over the District Attorneyship and No Nomination Made. A SCENE OF WILD CONFUSION. The Triumph of the Reformers and the Final Adjournment. The Tammany Hall Judiciary Convention met again yesterday, pursuant to adjournment. It be- @ame apparent, from the moment the doors were thrown open and the crowd that had patiently ‘waited outside tor over an hour had poured in, that the session was to be a lively one. For some reason or other best known to the individuals who had charge of the doorways, and whose instruc- Hons were imperative not to allow any person to enter who was not furnished with an admission ticket, a large number of persons succeeded in get- ting into the body of the hall in which the Conven- tion was held. Not only this, but folly as many @utsiders as there were members of the Convention @eliberately took possession of the seats reserved for the delegates, and for a time had as much to ay in the viva voce votes taken as did the Conven- tion itself, and probably a little more 80. Every- ody who was not In THE SECRETS OF THE OUTSIDERS ‘was naturally enough anxious to find out what the invasion really meant, but very few of the un- sophisticated got at the bottom of the mystery ‘antil the Convention had half accomplished its work, It became noised about just before it met. that the Conference Committee had not been able to agree as te all the offices that had tobe filled, or rather as to who were the proper persons to fill them, and this put all hands on the qui.vive to tearm what was what. Noone appeared to know aefinitely what the committee had disagreed about. One had it that it was in reference tothe “best man’? to fill the position of Justice of the Supreme Court; another that it had all arisen from the op- position of several members of the committee to one of the candidates for the Superior Court; and yet another that the liberal republicans had taken such decided action in relation to one of the positions to be filled that the last meeting o¢ the committee had almost broken up in a row, But the real truth why the committee had deter- mined net to make up on their own responsibility @ fall ticket for the approval of the Convention Jeaked out finally, and in this way:—It was no- ticed that when the regular hour for the calling of the Convention together arrived THE “BIG GUNS’? were atill in the consultation room on the first floor. District Attorney Garvin was seen to enter by the side door, and a short time afterward he and John Kelly and Horace F, Clark had their chairs drawn up close together in the darkest corner of the. room and were busily engaged in earnest conversation. What the conversa- tion was about the small iry were of course very anxious to find out, but they were only able to guess at its purport. by ercerd twe and two together, and which, when added to the rumpus that afterward took place in the Con- vention, was made very plain indeed. Garvin was aler than his wont while he was conversing with elly-and Clark, and acted in a nervous sori of manner, which showed that the ‘talk’? going on was not a very pleasant one to him. His two inter- locutors looked firm and determined, and, judging from their energetic gestures, “meant business” in their arguments. However, the conversation came to an end altera very short duration, and a few | minutes afterward ‘ THE CONVENTION ASSEMBLED op eure d was called to order by Mr. Augustus Schell. ie roll call was the first thing attended to, As soon as ithad been gone through with it became evident that there were many absentees, Mr. Kelly, on discovering this state of affairs, made a motion, which was carried, that the vacancies should be filled by substitutes, who should be se- lected by the various delegations, the names to be sent up to the Chair. An effort was then made to secure to each chairman the right to cast his vote for his delegation; but Mr. Kelly See ay, op: sed this and claimed that the candidates should voted for by Assembly districts, each delegate to vote as his district was called, if the delegation ‘was nota unit. This motion was agreed to, when Alfred Acker, from the Sixteenth district, jumped ‘to his feet and demanded that those persons who were not members should GO UP TO THE GALLERIES and stay there. Quite a commotion ensued in the crowd on the floor at this, but it was noticeable that not over a dozen persons left the room. Judge Garvin hada seat on the floor of the house, and it soon hecome whispered about that he actually had himself substituted in the place of a delegate from his district. Colonel tio his assistant, had also got himselt substituted for a Mr. Doughty, from his district, and he, too, had a seat among the deiegates. But it will be seen, hereafter, that he came to grief as a delegate before the Convention was over. It was evident that a storm was brew- Ing ahead, and that when the question as to who should be the candidate for District Attorney came op there could be no mistaking its real character, About this time, too, THE UNOREDENTIALLED OROWDS in the room began to assume dictatorial airs, and appeared no longer to care whether they were | be res ordered to the galleries or not. Every man of them, it afterwards turned out, was a partisan of Garvin, which gave strong ground for the charge one of the delegates made during the heat of tie debate that followed the attempted nomination of Garvin that the room was “packed” to serve Gar- vin's ends, THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT, Once the manner of voting had been decided upon and comparative order restored, Mr. Kelly rose and presented the report of the Conference Committee. The report was read by the secretary, and is as follows :— The committee appointed by this Conventlon on the 5th | of October, 1872 to confer with the Bar Association | id various other outside organizations, and advise with | them respecting the nominations to be made by this Con- vention, hereby beg leave to report That your committee assembled at this hall on the 7th | day of October and appointed a sub-committee to conter with said organizations; that said sub-committee con- ferred with a committee ‘of the Bar Association, a com: miittee of liberal republicans, a committee from the Young Men's Democratic Reform Association and a com- mittee trom an organization styling themselves “The National Democracy of the City of New York.” That the | committes of liberal republicans requested the name of | the Hon. Freeman 4, Fithian to be placed upon teket as candidate ior Justice of the Superior Cou that the commi National Democrac sented the name of the Hou, James M. Smith for the of District Attorney. That your committee conf with the various committecs above named respectin; qualifications and availapility of the various candida red the ates PrePored and “have held numerous meetings for he” purpose of considering the — same, and find the ge expression of opluion ‘to be in favor. of James HH. Leonard tor Justice | of the Supreme Court, Mr. James ©. Spencer. tor Sustice of the Superior Court and Mr. Gunnin ed ford for City Judge ; but itis of Messrs. Jerome ‘Buck, Richard M. Henry and Josiah Xutherland were presented to and received support in the Cominitteo for that Mico; that the names ol Samuel Garvin, James M. Smith and Wheeler H. Peckham were presented to and receivea support in your committee fo the office of Distriet Attorney. Your committee beli that they have not the power, under the resolution of their appointinent to suggest or recommend specially in this report any of the names before mentioned for nomina- fon, but we indulge in the hope that only such nomina- dona will be made by this Convention as will be most ac- ceptable to the masses of the democratle party, our political allies and the yood citizens of the city at latwe. BEDFORD LOOMS UP. | Mr. KeuLy remarked, alter the report was read, | that Judge Bedford had received a majority of the vote of the committee, and was considered by it | the most available candidate sor the position of City Judge. His character as a criminal judge had been for the past four years so satisfactory to the people that he believed he (the Judge) would poll the great majority of the popular vote in November. His record could not be, attacked in apy way. In fact, his ition asa criminal judge was such that he of all other men, in his opinion, was the best fitted to perform its dutics. He did not mean to be understood as mak- ing any reflections upon the other candidates for | the position, but he gousidered it almost an impos- sibility fora man not expertenced in criminal law to be a& good eriminal judge, and he therefore thought the Convention gould not do better than to yenomioate Judge Bediordt for the position, LEONARD AND 8PENSER NOMINATED, Theso yemarks were loud'¥ »pplauded at their oper to add that the names | floor were not delegates. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1872.-TRIPLE SHEET. clone, and in order to facititate the voting Mr, Cor- nev” moved that such of the report as referred separately and that vention nominate by i vel scclam athe of the Supreme acel one jor Court and the other for Justice of the Superior Court. This motion prevailed, and the nominations were made by acclamation amid the greatest en- u JUDGESHIP, int taken until all the This aceor motion to nomi- nate the candtdate for City Ju came up. Mr. Keily nominated Gunning ford, and again took occasion to speak of the Ju qualitica- tions for the position. He believed that his name would add more strength to the ticket than that of any other man. They had had dimculty in getting @ suitable candidate for rw. They al) ad their Various opinions about who was the best man; but, after testing the merits of each candi- date, they had all a 41 that Abraham R, Law- rence— (cheers) —was the best choice to make. In view, he said, that Tammany, in the coming was to encounter @ most formidable opposition, and that she was for the first time to test her strength as a reform organization, it was most proper that none but men connected with the lave reform movement begun last year should be on the ticket. (Loud ap- plauee.) If the case should be otherw! Tam- many would not meet with the expectations of the people. Judge Bedford had proved himself an able criminal judge, and, yet, since he (the speaker) had entered the room he had heard objections made to his nomination because of his action in re- gard to THE RING TRIALS, when he brought the public robbers to their knees, (Sensation. ) le, for one, believed that what he jad done in connection with those trials was per- fectty fair. One of the men he had to deal with had several criminal indictments against him, and one ofa civil character. This man was accused of having robbed the city of enormous sums of money, and there is not a man in this city to-day, he be- lieved, who had any idea that that thief would ever be tried. What blame could be attached to Judge Bedford for what he had done? He had taken a certain method to prevent that man from ESCAPING UNWHIPPED OF JUSTICE, and he believed that he had acted as he had after having consulted older heads than his own, more learned in the law, If this was the only objection to Judge Bedford it had better be discussed there than in the press, If the Convention rejected him it would do so only because of the stand he had taken against the Ring last year—at least tne people would take it so, Mr. ANTONY HARTMAN, from the Tenth district, followed up this sieoreas speech of Mr. Kelly by seconding the nomination of Judge Bedtord in afew earnest remarks. He declared it as his honest con- viction that the nomination of the Judge would secure the success of the entire judiciary ticket. RATHER INDEFINITE. A delegate from the Twentieth district here rose ond said that, as far as he was aware, the objec- tions of certain parties to Judge Bedford arose not so much from what he had done in the Ring trials as to the mode he had adopted to secure popular favor, Another delegate from the same district informed the Convention that the last speaker did not repre- THE CIty A recesa was at this substitutes for absent ported. JEROME BUCK RETIRES, Mr. Cassipy, of the Twenty-second ward, then nominated Jerome Buck, and Judge Scott nomi- nated Richard M. Henry. The voting then began. When the Seventeenth Assembly district was reach- ed the vote stood, Bedford, 167: Buck, 83; Richard M. Henry, 45; whereupon Mr, Jerome Buck stepped forward and said that, for the sake of harmony in the party, he withdrew his name from the contest, and moved that the nomination of the brilliant young jurist, Gunning 8. Bedford, be made by ac- ¢clamation. This motion was adopted, and the nom- ination was made by acclamation amid great ap- plause. THE STORM AT LAST. This contest settled, Mr. Kelly moved that the Convention adjourn to Friday next at three o’clock. Of course this was the signal for the delegates who desired to nominate Judge Garvin for District Attorney to show their strength, and objections to the motion were heard upon all sides, particularly among the uncredentialed crowd to the left of the chair. McClellan, from the Ninth district, excitedly called out that the nomination of a District Attorney was the next thing in order, and that it should be made then and there. Mr. Kelly was on his feet in aninstant, The uproar in the hall as he got up to speak was simply inde- acribable. The delegates in favor of Garvin cried out, “Question, question,” at the tops of their voices. They yelled, they screeched, they hallooed, they hissed, in fact did everything they could to drown his voice. But Kelly’s blood was up. he stood calmly aii it all, but the flashing of his eyes showed that he meant to carry the war into the enemy’s camp at all hazards. And he did it with avengeance. His dignified bearing conquered the boisterous throng at last, and by and by the hubbub subsided, He spoke quietly, without ex- citement, but there was a determination to fight it out manifest mm every word that he uttered which had a wonderful eifect in the long run. He said there should be no acrimony or Jitter debate in the Con- vention. It might be if they adjourned that the Conference Committee could yet settle upon a suit- able candidate for District Attorney. A delegate had mentioned Judge Garvin's name in this con- nection. He for one would say that if Judge Gar- vin should be nominated he would GBI BADLY DEFEATED. (Cries of “No,” ‘no.”) There were, he con- tinued, such surroundings to his name that could not be overlooked. The time had come when Tam- many Hal} could not be on the fence. He was sorry tosee Judge Garvin on the floor of the house & delegate and working to fet support from the Con- vention. He ought to have had the delicacy {9 stay away, unless he had come to create discord. If his name was put on the ticket it would defeat the whole ticket. He ought himself be able to see how the people looked upon his course with the men who were now indicted for high crimes, He was once Judge of the Superior Court, and he re- signed that honorable position to become District Attorney at the beck and call of A SET OF BAD MEN Who had well nigh rumed the city. He hoped the Convention would consider this matter coolly. If the delegates, however, insisted upon pushing the nomination of a District Attorney then and there, the whole story of the Ring’s control of its servants would have to be told. He appealed to the Conven- tion to adjourn quietly. He would repeat that Judge Garvin was not an available candidate. Tammany Hall, regenerated, could not afford to put upon her ticket any man at whom any one could point the finger of scorn. He did not wish to impugn the personal character of Judge Garvin, but alluded simply to lis connection with certain individuals, TO THE RESCUE. The excitement of the Convention at this point was at fever heat, and as Mr, Kelly took his seat the cries redoubled in force for an immediate noml- nation. In the midst of the confusion Mr. McClel- Jan got the floor, and in a long speech, delivered with all the fire and bitterness of which he is capable, he denounced the imputations against Judge Garvin, and quoted from the report of the legislative investigating committee to prove that he was above reproach. OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS, Horace F. CLARK then followed and earnestly -beseeched the Convention not to act hastily, He thought that all good democrats ought to listen to advice given by aman like John Kelly, whose only motive was for the purity and truth of the party. He spoke calmly for quite a while, and appealed to the good sense of the Convention not to act while they were carried away by passion, This speech had a visibly good effect, and the tide, it became evident, began to turn m favor of Kelly, when | Colonel Fellows got up, and was just about to taxe up the cudgels for Jnage Garvin, when Alfred Acker demanded to know whether he was a | delegate ¥ VERY MUCH OF A DISAPPOINTMENT, | He replied that he was a substitute. Acker denied that a majority of the delegation had ap- pointed him, and the papers on the Chairman’s desk being referred to, Acker was found to be cor- rect, So Fellows had to subside. Mr. Kelly then got the floor and again appealed to the Convention not to act hastily. If they | wanted to nominate Judge Garvin they had the | power to do so next Friday as well as then. VICTORY OF THE REFORMERS, i sent the views of his delegation. | Dr. Ryerson remarked that he, for one, had not made up his mind as yet whom he intended to vote for for Phistrict Attorney, and he knew many other delegates who were just as undecided about the matter as he was, Besides, it was apparent that | more than one-half of the persons present on the He heartily seconded Mr. Kelly’s motion to adjourn to Friday. Mr. Kelly's motion was then put and declared carried by the Chairman, and the Convention ad- | journed in great excitement. The adjournment was considered a triumph for the reformers in Tam- many; and tt is pretty certain that next Friday they will win the day. GERMAN REFORMERS. The Germans and the Mayoralty—Either | Havemeyer or Ottendorfer—Lawrence Called Upon to Withdraw. The Central Committee of the German Reform Organizations, Mr. Henry Clausen presiding, held a special meeting at the Beethoven Maennerchor Hall, when the Executive Committe, through Mr. George Kuester, submitted resolutions declaring that they believe it to be of the utmost importance, hay, absolutely necessary for the weltare and the honor of the city, that at the present election Mr, | James O’Brien as a candidate for Mayor should be defeated; that this in their opinion can only be accomplished with certainty by uniting all true reform elements on one candidate for the office of Mayor; and that, there- fore, the Committee of Seventy and the different reform organizations be called upon to unite with them in nominating Mr. Oswald Otten- dorfer for Mayor. Mr. Ottendorfer, addressing the assembly, urged that a candidate should not be dictated to any other organization, and he offered an amendment toshe eilect that nis name, jointly with Willlam F, Havemeyer, be recommended to the Committee of ‘venty and others as a candidate for the mayor- alty. ‘his proposition gave rise toa lengthy de. bate, resuiting in the adoption of Ottendorfer'g amendment.

Dxan 6in—T have the honor to acknowlciige the receipt of your letter of this date, informing me that the County Convention of the Democratic Reform Association, as- sembled at Apollo Hall on the evening of the 12th inst. unanimously nominated me as candidate for Mayor of thiscity at the approaching. election. Tam grateful for this mark of public confidence. and, in accepting the nomination, permit me to say that if, by the favor of my fellow eltizens, I shall be elevated to'the chief magistracy of this city my every energy shall he devoted to the public good. The corruption in our muni- cipal government has, it is true, by the energy of hon- ored and able men, been checked and in part removed. Dishonest and dishonored officials, who obtained office Uy fraud andthe culpable neglect, of our citizens, con- trolled Legislatures, corrupted newspapers and de- bauched ‘the judiciary, have, by an outraged people, been swept from power and ‘brought before the bar of justice. ‘The corruption in our municipal government never could have reached its gigantic proportions had not the Ring” found willing aid and support tr 1 legis. lators, elected by both the great parties. The plunder of our city ta quite as attributable to a corrupt gislature as to the officials who corrupted it, and our municipal government can never be completely purified or conducted with rigid economy until the people are aroused to the necessity of electing men to the Leyis lature of known integrity. We may have, and I believe we now have, an honest and upright judiciary; but with a dishonest and “bribe- cepting” Législature our Courts will be powerless for ‘ood, inasmuch as they,are bound to execute the , owsver bad, 1 pledue my every effort to purity our political Ife and to arouse my friends and supporters to the vital impor- tance of sending faithful, honest and competent men to the next Legislature. Let me thank you, my dear sir, and the honored gentle- men by whom you were accompanied on the delivery ot your letter, for the too partial and complimentary refer- ence to my past oficial lif T can only add that I shail endeavor to merit a conti ance of your good opinion and the confidence of my fel- low citizens, Thave the honor to be, dear sir, yours faithfully, JAMES O'BRIEN, To Wiiii1am ©, Barnett, Chairman, &c. The Foley ‘‘Reformers” on the Warpath for Havemeyer. The Executive Committee of the Foley folks have issned the following addre: Reroru Association, New Yor, Oct. 12, 1872, tHE Prorie or tue City or New Yore:— w have afforded but partial relief from that system of de- ception and fraud which had so long ruled supreme in our city government, Had certain individuals, retrained from selling out the best interest of the city reat work of reform to procure office for themselves at the hands of the present Mayor the advantage would have been available. This is one of the chief causes of the de- feat of the will of the people as expressed at the ballot box last Fall. The government of the city is still in the hands of the nominees and friends of Tweed and his associates, and by the provisions of the charter they can ‘only be removed by impeachment through the action of the Mayor—the only remedy provided by the present charter to secure the removal of bad and corrupt officials, the Mayor being responsible tor the good order and ef: cient government of the city. It has been so long in the past our misfortune and curse that the Mayor was the mere tool or instrament of the worst elements in the com- munity, and as a necessary consequence the city has been plundered by a series of gigantic crimes, under the color of law, and fraud has been perpetrated unparalleled in the administration of municipal government. To the high office of Mayor, therefore, no citizen should now be elevated whose past record and present standing will not afford an absolute guarantee that the responsible dutics entrusted to him will be discharged solely for the public wood. No mere politician who does not and never has followed an honest profession or trade—no one who in the past has been indebted for official position to the good will or infiu- ence of the Tammany Ring, or who is now allied with them, can ever command the respect or confidence of the people of this elty. | Our cholee for Mayor should mot be guided by party feeling or politics, The best man, irre: spective of party, should receive the support of all good citizens. Hon. William F. Havemeyer is the man for the position.

Mr. Peter Cooper has forwarded a letter, of which the following is a copy, to Mr. Havemeyer :— New Youx, Oct. 12, 1872, Hon. Witte F. WAveMEYER -— My Drar Sin—l write to express the gratification I feel on seeing your honored name again announced as a can- didate for the Chiet Magistracy of our city. My pleasure arises from the confidence inspired by the able manner in which you discharged the duties of that responsible office ona former occasion—an office rendered more y circumstances at that time than ever before, By the law then passed it was made your duty to change the old method of watching the city by men hired for the night to a regular organized police. | This great responsibility was devolved on you by the then existing democratic party, more than twenty-five years shall never forget nor ever cease to admire the noble and unselfish manner in which | you entered upon that delicate ant most difficult duty. I shall never forget the statement you made me of your determination to do all in your power to prevent'the police force of this city from taking on a mere party and political character. You saw the danger that this department might become master of the city through a corrupt city government, Like zaries, they might oppress the people as in Co or Tunis and defy the law, until it became nece obtain deliverance by a general massacre of those ve been guardians of the public peace. As the tood, a corrupt Mayor had the power to extort from the community the means to enrich limselt and his partisans. I know that you will join with me, my dear friend, | and with all good citizens in this community, in the heart. felt wish, that the day will soon come when our city government shall cease to be controlled by the national and State polltics of our country. When that day shal come there will be an end also, I trust, to all special, partial and class legislation; when every Jaw shall be only general, free to every company and Individual that may require its protection.

We need laws that can easly be understood aud strictiy enforced, Every law passed should aim only to security to life, jabor, and the pursuits of happiness, ago. give We must remove the power that enables bad men, by formal acts of legislation, obtained by corripiion, to seize the pronerty of others entrusted to their ci Buch laws are mere traps to catch the unsuspecting and sacri- fice their property.

Very respectfully, PETER COOPER, THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY. The national democracy held a convention last evening in their rooms in Union square to nominate candidates for Mayor, Coroner and fifteen Aldermen. Ex-Register John McCool presided, A resolution was passed empowering the conference committee to press the nomination of ex-Recorder James Smith for the oftice of District Attorney, A motion was then made to adjourn uutil Friday evening, Which wag carried unaniqously, © | own up to their stealing. | a Tammany THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS, —+—-—- A Lady Orator Speaks a Good Word for Horace. fae Sak: Silas Crowded Meeting at the Cooper Institate Last Evening—Miss Swasie and Mr. Crozier on the National Situation—The Difference Between Grant and Greeley. » There was a crowded gathering of the liberal re- publicans at the Cooper Institute last evening, and in spite of the depressing influence of the Octeber elections, a very fair degree of enthusiasm was ex- hibited, Perhaps, however, a considerable share of the audience was drawn to the meeting mainly by the announcement that the principal speaker would be a rising feminine orator. The platform Was bare of decorations, not even being draped with a solitary flag; there was no band, nor was there the customary array of vice presidents, At a little after eight o'clock Miss Minnie Swasie, the lady Greeleyite, was escorted upon the plat- form by Mr. Crozier, and sat down in the red morocco leather easy chair that had been reserved for the chairman of the meeting. This lady was formerly professor of elocution at Vassar College, and in her clear enunciation and skilful manage- ment of voice and gesture, displays the good effects of carefil study of the mechanical necessities of effective oratory. She is also very prepessessing in appearance, and dresses with isreproachable taste. After a few words of introduction by the Chair- Man Miss Swasie stepped forward and was hailed With a vigorous volley of cheers. She began by protesting against her arguments being considered on any other grounds than their intrinsic merits, It was an old prejudice that a woman’s reasons were no reasons. There was some foundation of truth for this sneer, in so far agit was true that woman threw too much feeling and earnestness into her advocacy of her opinions. In the consid- eration of Mr. Greeley’s claims to the Presidency she intended to throw aside the question of woman’s suffrage. Mr. Greeley had always said he opposed woman's suffrage, but that he would waive his opposition whenever it should appear that a majority of American women desired to vote, This was fair and honest. The advocates of woman's suffrage had lately appeared to.regard woman's suffrage as the only political issue now worthy of consideration, and of such women it might perhaps be truthfully said that a woman's reasons were no reasons. Her plea for Greeley was that by natural eopeelty, by education and ex- perience in public affairs, he was better than General Grant. Greeley represented the living present, the wide-awake democrats and earnest republicans, who were roused to the needs of the hour. General Grant represented a dying organi- zation, bent only upon seizing the spoils of office. Greeley represented the shell of the egg with a good yolk in it ; Grant represented the shell of an eae, with its contents rotten and putrid. She regarded, for these reasons, the success of Greeley in Novem- ber as inevitable. The republican party, in its ori- gin, was itself a coalition party of free soil demo- crats and abolitionists; it was a plebald party of warring elements, When Lincoln entered upon the duties of his ofiice he was confronted by the Southern democrats with arms in their hands, The late unpleasant. ness ensued, and democrats im the North had joined with the republican party to save the Union. ‘he republican panty, had now none of the issues which brought it into being left to it; it was to-day simply fighting to make General Grant for a second time President of the United States; it was held together simply by the cohesive force ‘of pub- lic plunder. The democratic party had, on the other hand, abandoned all the dead issues of the ast, and had at last succeeded in obtaining a plat- iorm that met the needs of the hour, despite the protests of the old Bourbons and of many of the most powerful and trusted of their leaders in the past. At the Baltimore Convention the old aims and strivings had been abandoned, and once more the breath of life was breathed into the old demo- cratic party. With the new coalition party men were nothing and principles were everything. She preferred Greeley to Grant, because Grant was a inillitary’§ man and preierred — mili- tary methods, le Greeley was a_ states- man and referred legal and constitutional methods, Heaven forbid that she should say anything in disparagement of Grant's fair mili- tary fame, but as President she held him to a strict accountability, General Grant was educated at West Point; he had studied the art of war, and had never studied anything else. No civil q tion in- terested him; he had never even voted but once in his life, and that was for hanan, The Pree| lent Bu verdict of history would be that tic Was the mogy consummate wire-puller we had ever seen as Presi- dent, When he became President he did not call to his counsels statesmen like Trumbull, but sur- rounded himself with venal and corrupt politicians and wire-pullers. He had are himself by being the most unblushing gilt-taker there had been in office. She considered that Grant’s gift- taking tendency had had a most painful effect upon our politics, It was claimed that we have no posi- tive proof that Grant had taken gifts since he had become President; but a habit once formed could never be broken, and these gifts had been given with aclear foresight of his being elevated to the Presidency. General Grant had always shown him- self subservient to rich men, and was it then wonderful that he should be surrounded with rings? The military instinct prompted him to seize on everything he could grasp tor himself and his followers as contraband of war, There was not a single relative of his that could be found who did not hold an office; and if he were found a showman would give him $100,000 a year to go on exlibition | Li as the “Wonder of the Grant Family.” Then, in re- gard to the Alabama claims, Grant ought only to have claimed what was right, and when he had claimed anything be should have insisted upon its being paid. Miss Swasie next designated the Louis- ville Bourbons as a Convention of pulitical hyenas, met together to dig up the dead body of the old democracy and feast upon its carcass. ‘The Con- vention had been called together by the Grant men and its expenses had been paid by desperate Grant wirepullers, The Grantites must be fast drowning when they caught at such straws as the Louisville Bourbons. No inan was more tempted by thieving schemers than a great editor, and yet the nnant- mous verdict of friend and foe was that Greeley was an honest man. No money could buy him; no map dare offer to bribe him. In all his career Greeley had never been a gift-taker. He would go to the White House with a clear conscience and a blame- less life, and he would leave it with an irreproach- able record, Miss Swasie next defended Mr. Gree- ley from the charge of inconsistency, and went on to say that she never expected the State elections to go for Greeley. Pennsylvania was gdined to Grant by fraud and money; in Ohio the liberals had not been by any means beaten and in Indiana they had achieved a decisive victory, The people had de- manded Mr. Greeley’s nomination, and they would see to his election. Grant’s success had been fe by throwing his reserves into the skirmish line—a very poor policy in war and worse in politics. Inore than ever to wor that word work meant. The Grant papers now urged their party nd they all knew what The reformers were cer- tain to win, for right was on their side, and God was with the right, and it was bound to to be suc- cesstul, It had always been a popular error to shower down rewards upon successful soldiers, but Mr. Greeley’s election would be the triumph of the Republic's mightiest civic champion. Miss Swasie was greeted as she closed with loud ap- Bisnees R. CROZIER then spoke. #’s speech had proved what she herself had disavowed—the fitness of woman for politics. There was going to be a Senatorial election in Albany next year, aud he would like to see that strutting peacock, Conkling, removed and Miss Swasie put in his place. Not a single great anti- | slavery leader of the republican party stood b Grant to-day. He did not wonder that the repubii- can party was corrapt; an; Vo that had passed throug the experiences of the war must be cor- rupt. What he objected to was that they did not The difference between thief and a_ republican thief was that the Tammany thief came ‘ou in Kobin Hood style and took your money, the republicans always opened thievery with prayer. ‘The national campaign had | but just begun, and he believed from his soul that | Greeley would Win, We had now a President un- trained in public affairs, and Ben Butler to-day was | the controlling leader of the republican party. Grant was only President of a part of his party, and the poorest part of his party at that. Grant had a policy for his own re-election, and he was moving heaven and earth to achieve it. Mr. Crozier proceeded to disclose some of the mysteries of car- pet-baggery, and conciuded by asking all present not to vote for four years more of iiamunity for such outrageous plundering. The meeting then dispersed. GREELEY AND BROWN. sa to the Liberal Republicans of the State of New York. Hrapguanrens New Yon Linvnat Reronticay | State Committe, St. Nicnonas Horet, Oct. 14, 1872.

James B, Swain, Assisiant Secretary, THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, ie The Liberal Republican Headquarters. A quiet calm pervaded the wigwam of the tiberal braves yesterday—a calm full of hope and faith, The immense difficulties of the coming campaign were surmounted readily by statistics and figures and the inevitable success of the Greeley ticket was amply demonstrated on paper. These calculations show that every Southern State but South Carolina ts pretty sure for Greeley, counting 128 electoral votes, while New York, New Jersey and Indiana are equally sure, making fifty-nine more, Thus an aggregate of 187 is footed up—three more than absolutely ne- cessary. But, in addition to these States, Conne ticut is accounted sure and Ohio is by no means given up, while New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illt- nois and Delaware are considered favorable battle ground, tosay the least. Among the visitors during the day were General Brinkerhoff, General W. B. Burnett, ay W. Hilliard, of Georgia; John P. Hodnett, of Chicago; John H. Halliday, of Indiana, and John 8, Thompson, of Ohio. The Democratic Headquarters.

The meet: ing was a regular revival, the spirit of grace and hope being abundantly poured forth. It was shown by nirtas and A narratives of personal ob- servation that the fight was a good one yet, and that the battle of October was not a Waterloo so Much as a Bull Run, from which the demoralized army wakes to renewed endeavor and more cautious action, It was determined to wage the | hoa’ the end with a stout heart and unswerving | faith. The Republican Headquarters, The young men in charge of the headquarters at the Fifth Avenue were not busy yesterday, the su- blime peace that followeth victory having settled upon them; but they assert that they are not idle and are not going to let the battle of November lin- ger.

A large number of ladies were present, all the good-looking ones having reserved seats. Some five hundred persons were present, and the politi- cal speaking was sandwiched by glees and national airs, which were sung by the Swedish Singing Society. Mr, Edward G. Newman, the president of | the association, was in the chair, and at eight o’clock the meeting was opened by singing. Mr. NewMAN said that if the good cit'zens did not take an interest in politics the bad ones would, | and the result would be an tnfamous and cor- | | | rupt government. He concluded his briet re- marks by asking his audience to vote for Grant and Wilson in order to secure to the country peace, safety and good | overnment. (Cheers.) r. Newman is a Sweae, | ‘ne Hon. W. W. Norchrup, an American, spoke in | English and said that he was informed that this was the first gathering of Scandinavians of both sexes In this city for political puspases: He was glad to see it. The opponents of the President were carrying on this campaign with hardly any material — but personalities, ‘Their principal point oltered was | that the one term should be enjorced. The one | term had never prevailed in this country. George Washington, Madison, Adams, Monroe, Jackson and the late lamented Abraham Lincoln were instances | of the two term princip! General Grant was the | greatest peacemaker of the age. Greeley says there is war and a bloody chasmin the land. The | only bloody chasm, in the speaker's opinion, that exists is the bloody chasm which yawns between Horace Greeiey and the White House, | which he thought would never be bridged over. | When Grant went to Richmond in 1865 he did not humiliate men by marching in with brass buttons | | | and bars on his coat, or with banners and flashing bayonets. He went there some time after in pain clothes and talked to the citizens about their | fairs in a sensible manner, aud made plenty of iriends. Now, at last, it is a foregone conclusion that Grant will be elected. (Cheers,) There is the New York HERALD, which is the great paper of the country, and I may say the great paper of the | world. Now, for some time this es and power. | ful journat has been tn favor of Mr. Greeley, But within the last few days that te changed and the | HERALD has come right. And for four or five days I have never seen such powerful and splendid arti- | cles as those in favor of General Grant, and the | HERALD is generally right in theend. (Cheers Here the speaker paid a tribute to Mr. Seward, the dead statesman, and made some severe strictures upon Mr. Greeley and his wavering conduct in past times. He compared the Ku Klux to the anti-reut disturbers, only that the outrages of the Ku Klux were much more formidable and destructive in their character. The Ku Klux law passed by Congress was needed to protect the poor whites and the colored people in their lives and property, The republican party had always been the friend of the foreigner and emigrant by shiclding them from arbitrary and op- | pressive laws made to hold them as subjects even | after they had become citizens of this country. [t | was the republican “party which had passed the Homestead bill granting 160 acres of land to every man who would go and settle on it. (Cheers.) | Another song followed the conclusion of Mr. | Northrup’s speech, the eee, following with achorus, Addresses were then made by 0. Berg: man, & Swedish gentleman, aud S. P. Guli, a Dane, and others, in which the remarks of the speakers in favor of Grant and Wilson were warmly ap- plauded by the audience, after which the meeting adjourned with cheers, Among those present at the meeting were Alex- ander Henriq' O.

Into one of these fly of the ladies were put, with a good crew manage it, The men were, however, tired, havin worked all night, with nothing toeat and suffer- ing from cold. When the last boat left th steamer I saw five men left on her. When eh went down! saw four of them in the water, an one clinging to a plece of timber. I think they must have been lost, as we could give them no a sistance without danger of swamping the boat, ‘Two of the five boats drifted towards Kenosha, STATEMENT OF THE CLERK. W.
