‘Vice President of the United States. With this ac- complished it will be the highest duty, and should be the greatest pleasure, for allin authority to extend awarm hand of fellowship to all good eitizens of the Union, and as rapidly as possible to forgive and forget the recent past, and at every act to make us satisfied tobe and remain in fact, as we are in Dame, one people, one country, It is fit and proper, citizens of Cincinnau, the Repabhoan Natiwnal Cou vention in this centennial year should be held in your tity and under your auspices, as you quite as fully as any other locality represent in yourselves the indus iry, the enterprise, the sublimity and grandeur of our tountry’s growth aud greatness, 1 am further re- quested by the National Committee to make a nomina- Mon for temporary presiding oificer of this Convention, |, thereore, nominate the Hou, Tucodore M. Pomeroy, of New York, for that office. The motion was agreed to, and the Chair designated Governor Baldwin, of Michigan, and Governor Van Zandt, of Rhode Isiand, as a committee to conduct Mr, Pomeroy to the chair. SPERCH OF MR. POMEROY. Mr, Pomeroy suid :—Gentlemen of the Convention, I thank you most beartily for the compliment conferred by calling me to preside over the temporary organization of this Convention, 1 have been so long withdrawn from practical participation in political afluirs that it 1s mm obedience to custom rather than my ows inclina- Yon that I occupy even « few moments of your time yn the consideration of the political situation and ot the principles so long and so successtuily intrusted to the keeping of the republican party. Events have chased each other so rapidly from the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln’ to the tlosing your of jhe administration of General Grant, fraught with such fundamental changes in \he whole theory and practice of government that , the consideration of them in the briefest manver is precluded upon an occasion such as this. Brief as may de considered the existence of the republican party none other in the history of the nation has for so long A consecutive period controlled its government with- but encountering popular defeat und still withstanding popular jealousy of political ascendancy Jeng contin- ued by any party, itis within the power of this Con- voution to designate the coming President of the United States. Our folly may conceae what the wisdom of the opposition cannot achieve—our defeat at the polis in November. But such defeat can come from no other source, We are not met here #8 contending factions Within the party to test, under various leadorships, our relative strength, but as representatives accept- ing 4 high responsibility, 10 extract - from the crucible of conflicting ' opinions that type of American statesmanship = which —_stiall be accepted as a worty embodiment of the prin- tiples of the party, Men as well as measures ure to be Weighed in the balance during the coming canvass, snd neither must be found wanting to insure success, The republican party cannot continue to live by reason Mf its splendid achievements of the past, nor the dem- veratic party expect to be returned to power upon its slittering promises of reform in the future, The former has but to present menu—representatives of its principles; tho latter must discover both men and principles. In former days, when party ties were firmer, when the immediate’ pressure of Rational calamitics hedged us about and compel ed party fidelity, the platform carried along the man, who: tver he might be. Party ties are looser now, and no platform is buoyant enough to float an unworthy can- didate, ‘The necessity of the continuance of the administra. tive policy of the republican party, while not so appar- ent in immediate results, 1s 4s Commanding, respect- ing future consequences, as at any me in its history. We are told that it has accomplished its mission, and therelore has no longer a claim to live. Well, if tb and the time for its dissolution has come, it can die triumphantly, exclaiming with the apostle of old, “T have fought a good light, and have kept the faith,” It has tuitiiled many missions; it tultiied the mission of its birth in neutralizing the disastrous eitects of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, in saving to fr dom the great Territories of the Northwest and brin \ng California into the sisterhood of States, undetiled oy slavery and adorned hike a bride in ‘the glitter ot her golden promise. It fulfilled the mission of 8 youth iu accepting the irrepressible conflict, anid it was a mission worth living for, to have saved a nationality like ours, to have found 4,000,000 slaves and to have raised them to the dignity of Amer- lexn citizenship, and to have recousirucied the feucral constitution sv as to place the liberties of the citizen and the credit of the nation upon foundations strong enough to endure anytuing except the infeliity of a democratic administration, ‘The mission of the manhood of the republican party, our imission of to-day, is to establish on sure tounda- Nong, and make secure for the coming ages, the fruits of the war debt and of taxation through which the resent has been achieved. Tne benefits to be derived y the individual citizen frym the fourteenth and fil- teenth constitutional amendments ure to be secured through such appropriate legislation as Congress dovise. Task the treedmen of the Soatn if th Teady to ucrept the democratic party as the source of power from which is to low tne appropriate legislation to give eect to those amendments. I ask a candid public if the only anarchy that exists in the South to-day 1s not the anarchy caused by the opposition of the democratic party, as such, to the principles adopted in the work of reconstruction, and now a part of the fundamental law of the Jandy The democratic party claims to accopt the Situation Tespecting the sacredness of the national debt and the Juviolability of the natioual credit, and yet twenty mil- lion dollars of taxation will not make good the aunual loss to the American people trom the undefined and un- detinable attitude aud intentions of that party insegard to the payment of the principal of the public debt. In the prosecution of the war to overthrow the rebellion, for the purpose of procurimg (he ready money to ,pay Uie army and navy and to provide the immense thaterial Di War, it became necessary to suspend specie pay- ments, to make a forced loan from the people by de- tlaring the greenback # legal tender in payment of public and private indebtedness, and yet, while clum- Ing to be in favor of resumption of specie payments ‘at some indefinite tine and of some undetined Process, although eleven years have passed since the close of the war, it bitterly opposes the payment of this forged loan or the taking of the first practical step toward resuming our position among the solvent hations of the civilized world. No, gentlemen, the late war was not a mero prizo fight tor national supremacy; it was the out- growth of the conflict of irreconcilable moral, social and political forces, Democracy nad its lot with the moral, social and political forces of the cause whicli was lost; the republican party with those whieh triumphed and surv The preservation of the results of that victory devolves upon us here aud now. Democracy has no tradition of the past, no im- ulves of the present, no asp rations for the future tting it for this task, The reaction of 1874 hus already spent itself in a vain effort to realize the situation, It bas simply demonstrated that no change in the ma- chinery of the government can be bad outside of the republican party without drawing with it a practical the great work of reconstruction of the chaos and administrative revolution. The present House of Representatives has suce: in nothing except the development of its own tneap From the inception of the republican party in 1805, it bas kept pace with the progress of the dimes, accept- ing the early added respousibility of war, emancipa- tiun, taxation aud reconstruction, until the brighest pages of American history are bal the life stay of the republican party.

It has often erred, butit hus never feared to act; and through its action the nation has lived. There has been corruption, but when it Was discovered the order went forth, “Let no guilty man escape," and the order has been executed. There has becn want of harmony, bat a platiorm un- wavering in ts declaration of principles, with candi- dates worthy ot it, will weld together, as of old, into an uncunquerable army, the great liberty-loving, Inw- abiding majority of We of the United States, and stamp with endaring success the resuits of the deliver- ations of this Convention.

A communication was received from the Young Men’s Mereausile Library Association, informing the delegates that the reading rooms were at their dis- posi, ‘THE COMMITTRE ON CREDENTIALS. Mr. Deskxpone, of Virginia, suggested that the Com- mittee on Credentials should at once meet, as it was impossible to do any business until 1 was Known who composed the Convention, ‘The presiding officer then suggested that the mem- bers of the four committees repair to the comm.ttee rooms, on the right of the siage, which they did. Upon the withdrawal of the committee the band struck up a lively tune, and the delegates took the op- portunity t0 move around and discuss the situation, While the committees were absent the band was kept fully occupied, to the disgust of those delegates who wished to til in with patriotic speeches, This arrange- ment seemed to give satisfaction to the majority of the Convention, but at one point a smail piping voice in one of the galleries eried out, “Speech; Governor Hawley.” * sukgestion awas favorably received, but no soch was forthcoming by Mr. Hawle Mr. Masox, of New York—I offer the following pro- amble aud resolutions :— Whereas we still remember with gratitude the services of the loyal women of the country during the late war, their devotion in the hospitals of the and thoir fd to the Union in many of the disputed districts of the South: and whereas the republican vary has always advooued ¢ extension of human ireewom: ‘heretore, iat we favor the bestowal of equal etvil and potitical rizhts ou all loyal citiens of tue United States, without regurd to se were received with general laughter and ap- ep’ THE REPUBLICAN REFORM CLUB.

Objection was made by delegates from Louisiana and Delaware, ‘Tux Cute then put the question whether the address should be read, and the motion was carried by a decisive majorit Crie “Take the plattorm,” “Go forward to the platform.” Mr. Curtis passed forward to the platform, and while threading lis way through the crowd was received with treme s applause aud cheers, whicu were re- newed wheu he took his place by the Chairman's desk and faced the audience.

It is our duty to See that this shall not be done, (Cheers.) Now, my countrymen, one word in reference to the signs of the times, Whatis it that we see and bear all ubove and around aud about us to-day’ Look at the enemies of the republican party im this land? Do they sing tho praises of the American Union? Do they siug the Praises of quiet acquiescence in the law of the land? Do they come forward and dely the enemies of civiliza- tion, of republicanism and of freedom, and say, **Here we stand with the banner of freedom in our banda, and we intend to wave itover this land and to sustain all that indicates civilization??? Do we find them there amoug the enemies of our people—I mean the enemics y the men in this riurning this govern- aged, They have bad suc- certain extent in their attempt to destroy the goveroment ina different manner, The destruction ‘of this government 1s contemplated, not by arms, not by force, but by capturing the government and then nullifying every law and every amendment to the cun- stiiution that gives that protection 1o our citizens that we ourselves said they should have when we were battling to preserve the Union. (Applause.) Now, what is the start, what ig the commencement of this revolu- tion, and what does it mean and whutis fort Is the assassination of tbe private character of every leading republican in the land? (Cheers and long continued applause.) First in order is the dark chamber pro- ceediags against leading citizens, Americans, the dug- ger of destruction 1s to be drawn and plunged into the very vitals of the men who stood firm against the storms that rolled against liberty and freedom in this land, (Cheers.) Sirs, every man is to be stricken down, every man is to be destroyed, 1 care not who he is, When [say these things I have no reference to any individual or avy person, but’ ft means, as I said, that the commencement ig the disintegration and destruction of the republican party by assailjng that party and destroying every man who has been prominent within its ranks (Appinuse. ) With their destruction, then, the conquest is simpie. It needs but amere movement on tne work and the dved is accomplished. Sirs, I say the men that stand firm and boldty vindicate the right of the people and the principles of republicanism, no matter who they are, where they live or where they may live, it is all tinmaterial, the republican party should sustain. these men so far as thoy deserve being sustained. (Cheers. ) Ido not mean this by way of saying I have excuyes to muke for a, one man or get of men, but | mean that the mghts of the party: should be guarded as well as they bave — been guaranteed. In conclusion, let me say this;—Give us a republican platform; give us as candidates for Presi- devot and Vice President men known inthe land, | have naught to add to that, Whether I ama good bat- ter or not is mmaterml. The man you nameis my (Cleers.) ‘The man you name is the republican ard bearer and is the man who will be elected. (Great cheering.) I dislike to heur it said we cam elect this man, but not that one, {ho reprblican party, if it is true to itself, can elect whoever you will nomi- nate, (Cheers.) You have collected together as wise men, as discreot men. In your bands i re- posed the confldence of the republicans of the United States, Whatever your wisdom shall decide the republicuns of this country should be satis- fied with and should acquiesce in, and in my judgment, the republicans who, having ordered you together, fail to support your nominations, are not true, genuine republicans. (Cheers and cries of “good,” ‘good.””) Now, gentlemen, 1 hope your deliberations will be caim and harmonious; that when we leave this place all the asperity of feeling which has armen during this canvass, Will be wiped out, and that each andevery one of us will tuke bis departure to his home satistied that we have done the best we could do for the coun- try.

But now is the time; this afternoon, this night, to- mosrow, are precious hours for you to decide what you mun, will do and bow you will do it. (Applause,) enter into no particulars, bat you know, all of you, there is ‘not a aan in this Convention who doesn’t know that you cau so conduct yourselves within the next forty-eight hours that the three or four months: work betore us will be Ubavailing., (Applause.) 1 beg to point out ono par- ticular, at least, in which it 1s the high duty of the re- publican party to. take clear, strong, honorable T refer to the one great question of the debt and currency. I heard one able and eloguent woman ohce argue tb & legislative committee tn favor of female suffrage, She said that women might not aiways care to vore, becauss sometimes there would be pending merely financial questions, ag if all questions involved 1m that description did not carry with them (ests of the moral power, the honesty and the integrity of the people. There is no higher test of our fitness ior repab- licap government than the financial test. A great people forty millions of people, can carry on a war. Every- body knows that. Summon thein to the defence of the nation against domestic of foreign foes and, we bave seen, it 18 no dtheulty to call one or two miilions: of soldiers into the feild; but when the care and ex- citement of battle have passed and the people have re- turned bome to tal Ph the implements ot agriculture and manuiacture, to Oil on for years to pay the debt, then comes the test; and insidious demagogues come forward to teach us sharp Ways to get rid of the bur- den, There is taught the moral stamina of the people. You can fight, but can you resolutely determine tat you will pay every dollar of your debt according to the terms of promise; that you will return to a sound eur- rency, based upon the economie laws wich baye been knowledged by wise men since there began to be an economic sciencey That is the great “test for this people, (Cheers) We hear Much said at times about the grewt and eat and puzzling problems--ol ti difficulties vanish very much wheu we apply to them some very simple tests, ‘Tell the truth aud (ulti your promises. Do that, and you will soive half of the trouble, (Cheers.) What did’ your bond say? it and do it, What does your loan or legal tenuer notes promise to do, and what did you promise to do when you issued it? Do it, There is no mystery in it; no extraordipary difticuity in its performance. 1 hoid it to be in ail our political alfuirs perbaps the test of our many high duties to bring buck our currenay to a sound basis; to resnme specie payments (c! ); and it is not alone as a-questfon of honor and integrity of the nation, bat as our eternal prerequisite to the return’ of busineés prosperity. Our bust- ness men are now utterly unable to make definue calculations m regard to the future, They are waiting iu some measure he results of this campaign that they may decide upon their several campaigns, and I can say to you also that there is a profound anxiey throughout the whole republican party that we shall give new assurances to the country thuball its afaire are to be administered with high honor aud mategrity, and that the sacred trusts of office-hol: in this country are, indeed, sacred trusts and are not to be trifled with by corrupt and desgning men, (Loud cueers.)

(Great cheers.) Calls were made for Ingersoll, of Illinois, Seward and the Rev. sioery highland Garnett, of New York. The latter ascended the platiorm, aud the chairman then imtroduced him, “GENTLEMEN—I thke pleasure in Introducing to you aman well known before the abolition of slavery in the United States, a man who belped win the battle ab well as follow the white citizens of the country—the Rey. Highland Garnett, of New York.” SPEECH OF Mk, GARNETT. Mr. Gaxyurr said:—Mr. Pxusivext ano Fruow Citizexs—I regret extremely that your kindness has demanded my appearance upen this platiorm at this time. I would have been beiter satistied to have lis- teped to oiher gentlemen, whose numes are well known here, whom you have expressed your desires; and to prove that I invan what I say, you will find that the remarks which I intend to make will be exceed- ingly brief. It haw gratitiod me much to hear the tlemen who have claimed your atwention and your ear that ove particular desire that lids near the hearts of the delegates to this Convention is the purifi- cation of the government and the election of men as Presitomt and Vice President of the United States ‘ho shall not only have the sagacity of knowing what o do, but who will surround themselvec with men who know how to act here to carry out the desires of the true republicans of this country. (Cheers.) There another shing which | carneatly desire, bat to which no allusion has been made. Gratified as 1 have been to hear it announced by every speaker who has appeared upon this platform that it 1s your purpose to give pro- tection to men who helped to secure the perpetuity of the Union, who helped you to hit up the oid fag irom the dust when it was smitten down by disloyal hands, let me beg of this Convention to notice this:—There were men from whose hands the fetters had been smit- ten who gut together their little earnings, and by tho advice and direction of their triends had laid 1 away fora rainy day, and by the mismanagement of men who deceived you, they have been deprived of their lit- tle earnings, and to-day there are aching hearts all over country, und especially in the South So you cun, Mr. President, try in your delib- erations to put in a little plank that will givo security to the freedmen of the South that the sufler- ings which they endure in consequence of the rascality and villany of the managers of the Freedmen’s Say- ings Bank shail be sot aright, (Applause.) Don’t forget that, See that you do it, and you wilibave the gratitude, love and respect of that much injured peo- ple. Another thing, in conelusion, You may talk about your banks, your rag money, your silver and gold; you may talk about your civil service as much as you can, but there is ono thing that rises in importance above all these considerations. It 1s this; that every man not only the black republicans but tho white republicans, shall be permitted to enjoy the highest hberty of all citizens at all polls without being mur- dered by the pistol and shotgun, That is all I wish to say. (Applause), Tux Presipixe Orvicyrn—The Sergeant-at-Arms an- nounces the Committee on Resolutions will meet this evening at seven o'clock at No. 260 V: street. A motion was made to adjourn, but it was withdrawn to enable Governor A. Howard, of Michigan, who was loudly called for, to address the Convention. The gen- ueman’s lameness obliged him to use his crutches in walking to the stage, where he was provided with a chair, He snid:— SPEEON OF GOVERNOR MowAaRD, Governor Howaxp said:—Gentlemen of the Conven- ton, you will excuse me for sitting while I speak. The success of the great republican party must depend upon enlisting the sympathies of all classes, To do that we seek to give all classes representation here, Eloquent orators have already been heard—leadin, men in tho republican party. Then our color brother has been heard, Two classes have been repre- sented and | sup; , Sir, that | adi indebted for this honor to the fact that I am a cripple. (Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen, I stand betore you, representing the great leading man of the cripples in the republican party, (Renewed laughter.) But there was a time when I Was nota cripple. There was a time when I ‘was the only nominee for Congress under the ubli- can party onder that name, and for a wonder 1 was elected. (Cheers and laughter.) Since that time the republican party has been instrumental in making more history than any party that has ever existed un- der the heavens. (Cheers) To day it represents cer- tain great principles, certain ideas, Liberty has al- ways been the leading characteristic of the party, The democratic party, our opponents, they, also an organization, are champions of liberty.

The great body of the republican party demands w-day Vhat “no guilty man Le ,”? and that no inuo- cent man shail have reputation assailed. (Ap- plause.) For these two things, tor the protection of every citizen in every part of the land, we are ready not only to vove but to fight; and, cripple as Iam, 1 would rather die iu the ditch than to see the republi- can party take one step backward. (Applause) I have said that it was a principle of the republican party th: fe must have one kind of citizen only so far as rights are concerned; bo mutter about the cul nO matter about wealth or property, if he is a citizen be 18 ontitled equally to protection. The broad prinetple of our institution is simply this:—Every man in the land is entitied to no privileges over any other man.

(Cheers.) Tho thing, however, ju which 1 feel the deepest inverest, and the thing in which 1 believe this country feels the deepest interest, is that the principles involved in the contest which carried your sons and brothers to the batule- flela, which draped our Northern churches with the Sele ‘of mourning and filled our towns and our cit ‘with mere stumps of men—armless, logless, maimed and matilated—the thing for which you poured out your blood and -piled a debi for aftercoming geuera- tions bngber than & mountain of gold, to weigh down the nocks of your” children’ and yout childven’s ctldfen—I say those principles involved in that tremendous contest are to be dearer to the American people, in the great political struggle now upon them, than any other principies we hive.

The committee further reported that they had sub- mitted no name for Vice President aud Secretary for Alabama and other States where there was a contest, After the report of the Committeo on Creacntials those vacancies could easily be filled. Mr. MuCuurx, of Arkansas, insisted that the report should not be adopted until the report of the Commit- tee on Credentials nad been received. He moved to lay the report temporarily on the table. Dr. Loring, chairman of the committeo, desired to state that this question was discussed the commit. tee, and in turning to the report of the Convention at Philadelphia in 1872 it was found that the Committee on Credentials reported alter the permaneut organi- zation of the Convention, and it was on that account that this report has beea made, feeling that the Con- vention bad a perfect right to accept it or not as they pleased, and that provision had been made for the contesting delegations by the report of the committes. Mr. Masox, of New York, moved that the report bo adopted, so far as it related to States where there was ‘RO contest. ~ This motion was ruled out of order, A delegate from Maryland moved to lay Mr, McClure’s motion on the table, Tho motion was agreed to. The delegate from Arkansas insisted that this motion carried the subject with it, but the Cnair overruled the point, stating that the Convention had adopted no rules and made them up as it went along. ‘The report was adopted, There were momentary calls for oth motions to adjourn. ‘The Cuarr—Tho first business now in order, and the only business, 18 to surrender the chair to the perma- neut Chairman, named by the Committee on Urgan- ization.

Ho also suggested the appointment ot a member of the Committee on Resolutions to take the place vacated by his elevation to the chair; and, accordingly, William B, Mann was selected, on motion of William Cumback, of Indiana.

[From the Cincinnati (Tuesday) Gazette.) Senator Jones, of Nevada, drew quite a little crowd around him at the Ohio headquarters, and in his frauk, genial, hearty way, related some of the incidents of his early career. He was originally an Ohio man, and of course feels a high regara for Governor Hayes. “Blaine and Blaincism Exposed,’’a psmphiet, said to be distributed in the South by Conkling’s men, has caused considerable stir among Blaine’s friends herp, Governor Woodford says that sixty-five New York delegates will be voting for Conkling when the Hoosiers move to make Morton’s nomination unanimous. The Conkling mon worked hard yesterday (Monday) with the Vermonters. Tho stories of the use of money, or rather of the strong purpose of the New York men to use money, were so general yesterday as to make it uncomfortable for any single Southern delegate to stand long alone with any one of the numerous gentlemen from tho Empire State, -The fact is, the whole talk of the Conkling crowd about the ease with which they could control the Southern d ‘one of these bodies, A Gazelte reporter was present during the following brief conversation between an Ohioan and a New Yorker:—“Do you see those Indiana fellows?” said the Obio man, os one of Morton's supporters glided vy; “they're doing more work to the square inch than funy other folks on the ground,” ‘“Yos,'" replied the New Yorker, ‘and they are working effectively, too, One of them took hold of me avout an hour, and more than half convinced me that Morton is the man to pominate, and that he could carry New York.’” Speaking of the Hoosier crowds, some one sage ly ro marked in the hearing of our reporter that “the ad. herents of Hayes are known by a red badge, Bristow’s supporters wear the white and Conkliaa’s the blue, All without badges are ‘Morton men.’” Five bundred of them came im from Richmoaa early in the morning ~ and as many more from Indianapolis and vicinity. It is catimated that there were 1,500 Indianiams in thé city yesterday, ha From the Cineinuatt Times :—‘‘Mutt Carpenter loafed along Fourth street, on the shady side, and mopped his brow with a big cambric handkerchief, and got out- side of much cooling beer and things. Judge Luke Po- land, of Vermont, took off bis historic blue coat aud brass buttons, stowed his feet away underja table ia Na, 111 Gibson House, and wrote lengthy letters to his wife and entertained his many visitors. Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana, took in the Lookout House and some beer, and said he wished Cincinnati customs could be in- troduced in New Orleans, Everybody wok beer—Purk tanical Yankees, native Buckeyes, fire-eating Southern- ers, Badgers from the Northwest, border men trom Texas, Mormons from the Far West, Bonanza men from the Pacific coast, representatives of the Great Republic from every directioa—did homage to Gam- briaus, and partook of the gevtle and succulent weiner wurst or listened to such music as only the “little Ger mau bands’ can turaish,’? {From the Enquirer, June 13.) “When the Cleveland train on tho Dayton Short Line was on its way toward Cinciunat! yesterday, above Delaware, where passengers for Columbus switch off, a stranger was secu to approach a portiy, red-faced, free-living looking fellow, who, unknown te the stranger, was in the keeping of the Cleveland Sherif, and was heard to accost him with, ‘On your way to the Convontion, sir?’ ‘No, str, thank God!’ was the reply; and sticking out his hands, which were heavily ironed, and which had heretofore been com cealed, he added, ‘On my way to Colambus.? Among the distinguished gentlemen In attondence upon out political festivities we may mention Governor Black and Justice McKean, of Utah, Tho Governor. is young man of executive presonce and courageous bearing, and is, we understand, the suppressor of cer- tain saintly famdangoes in the City of the Sainte Jvatice McKean is a gentleman of culture and ac knowledged logs! stamina, and both geutlemen are de- cidedly free from Bristow taint, as the latter named aspirant for Presidential honors is committed to a leni- ent policy concerning theocracies which propose to override the supreme laws of the land. PRIVATE DALZELL TALKS. “Well, Private, what do you see here ?”” This remark was addressed to Private Dalzell, whe was lounging in the Ohio quarters at the Grand, “Nothing but doubt, so far asthe genoral result is concerned. Nothing bat enthusiasm, so far as Ohio goes.” “Then you are still for Hayes?” “Yos; Haysallthe tame, I’m one of his original friends.” “What do you find out from the State at large? You travel around a good deal.” “In the first place it’s all for Hayes on account of his being an Ohio mano. That’s State pride, you know. After him, then, if you go up among the river towns, from Marietta to Steubenville, thero’s a great fooling for Bristow. Up in the Northeast there ts a good deal of Blaine feeling; but when you get out im the coun try, away from the towns, the old farmers talk Morton, They still believe in flying the ensanguined shirt, Thoy think that the salvation of the party.’? “Well, who'll be winner ?”” “Ah, there, I can’t tell you anything. It’s awfully mixed,” and the great contributor to American waste baskets reflectively pulled away at the end of the stogy cigar he was smoking. ‘Yes, awfully mixed,” ho ro peated,” as tho Teflectively ejected the saliva into the bow! of the cuspador which stood in the corner of the room, SILVER JONES’ CONVERSE, ‘Senator Jones, of Nevada, has his headquarters at 200 Vino street, ana will be chairman and spokesman of the delegation, In conversation with Sonator Jones yesterday afternoon he denied that the delegation was necessarily for Conkling. We suggested that perhaps it was for Grant. Senator Jones replied that those who were disposed to think that Grant could beignored woujd find themselves mistaken wofully. He was not one of those who thought that any party could succeed by making war on it¢ own chief executi' Senator Jones thon drifted into along discourse on the silves dollar, showing himself a master of financial subjects, Ho hold that it would be a great thing if the debt of the people could decrease and their commodities appre ciate, but as, unfortunately, the reverse was the case, the remedy should be carefully looked for. For hime self, ho was a creditor. He owed nobody, and had much owing him, but ho would think himself worse than athiet if ho asked that what was owing him in greenbacks be paid him in gold “What com tact existed,” ne asked, ‘‘that required debts to be paid in gold dollars ofa fixed number of grains, The creditors were the few, the debtors were the many, Why should the value of the greentack be made equal to that of the gold dollar? No! If concessions are to be made et them be made by thore who can afford to concede. Instead of forcing the greenback from eighty-nine cents to one dollar why not let the value ot the gold dollar be reduced to seventy-five cents, and the problom of resumption is solved. All then could agree on a “gold basis.” With these terse propositions as a text, and wo give Senator Jones’ general drift only, and from memory merely, he launched off inte ‘an eloquent advocacy of the silver dollar, whose pur- chasing power, because it was always the lesser value ‘was the same now as It had always been since it was the original money for which Christ was sold. ‘It has the same old purchasing power, whether the article purchased be a delegate at large or a glass of beer?” wo suggested, and Senator Jones assented. THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK. EX-SENATOR PUGH INTERVIEWED—BLAINE'S RAILROAD COMBINATIONS—STRENGTH OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES. {From the Cincinnati Commercial, June 13.) As our readers are aware, tho Hon. George E. Pugh has boen for several weeks conflued to his house with &@ severe rheumatic afiection. One of our reportert made a friendly call yesterday, learning that Mr. Pugh’s improved condition would permit the visit, but found the honorable gentleman stili suffering from & slight relapse. Conversation, however, did not mcom- mode him, and after a few general remarks it settied down on the absorbing topic of the approaching politi- ‘val contest, Reference having been made to Mr, Blaine, Mr. Pagh’ said:—He has evidently been connected with that large body of men who aro interested as presidents, directors or managers of those projected railroads im the new States and Territories, with large grants of land from Congress; and many of these vory men are largely interested in controlling most of the greaf lines. I have nevor beard of Vanderbilt being ‘Tn th combination, and am rather of opinio: docs not ge into the projected lines, but gobbles up the roadé already constructed. The Pennsylvania Company 1@ the great sinner—a large number of men with an im menge capital, speculators, like Blaine—like his neigh- bors in Maine and Massachusetts, who have a little money ahead, and who are willing to pat it into a scheme which promises large profits, and for which they can afford to wait a few years, They control the Eastern States.
