A number of propositions had been offered by each aide to the other, and had been refused, and some had only been agreed upon fora moment, and then thrown aside, There had been disputes and differences without end, and almost without hope of adjustment, and here the whole matter had been settled and disposed of without a question or @ dissent. ‘The whole Convention breathed easier, and after a moment of confu- sion, in which the delegates exchanged congrat- ulations, and McClure of Pennsylvania shouted out, “ Where's your row now?" to the great amusement of all but the dejected Grantites, the other equally important work before the Convention was taken in hand. A Detailed Report of the Proceedings of the Conventt ci INNATI, May mvention was called to order at 10:10 o'clock. ‘The reaiting of the journal was dispensed with. ‘The Chair said that the statement in a morn- ing paper, pretending to give a despatch from him (Schur) to a candidate, was utterly untrue. Mr. Gilmore (Mo.) offered @ resolution that when the Convention reaches the point of bal loting for candidates there shall be no formal presentation of candidates, but that the C vention proceed to vote. Mr. Dexter (IIl.) sustained the proposition. He said he wanted to proceed to business and avoid personal eulogles.

At 4A.M. he left his sanctum, and went to bed in French's Hotel. At 11 A.M. he was dressed, had eaten his breakfast, and reappeared in the Zritune office. Here he glanced over the morning news- Papers, and read the latest Cincinnatt d spatches. His mind, however, instinctively turned to work. He sat down at his high writ- ing-desk, and began to write editorial articles on subjects entirely disconnected with the Con- vention. Occasionally a friend dropped in upon him, but he kept steadily at work, only stopping to read the Cincinnati despatches. In answer to questions he said that he thought Lyman Trumbull would receive the nomination. It ‘was evident that he really thought Mr. Trumbull the most worthy of all the candidates, and that Trumbull's selection would give him great pleasure, The mention of his own prospects always brought out # smile, It was easy to see that he had no selfish feeling, and that he only desired to see a ticket nominated that would be acceptable to the people, and that would sweep the country in the interests of national reform. He had not gone out of his way, and it was evi- dent that he did not intend to go out of his way to get the nomination. His views on national questions were well known, He was no trimmer, and he had no aMilations with trimmers, He had never concealed his opinions. He stood be- fore the people on the simple platform of honest reform, If they wanted him, they could take him. If they didn’t want him, they could let him alone. It was none of his business, and he would not suffer one way or the other, Such seemed to be his views. As he bad thrown out no baits he apparently expected no popular favors. But he wanted the best man to win. When the result of the first ballot was an- nounced, Dr. Greeley looked at the figures and then calmly resumed his writing. Meanwhile the announcement of the first vote was posted on the Triune bulletin board. A crowd collect- ed. The large vote for Dr. Greeley surprised the spectators, but the general feeling was that Adams was the coming man, The second bal- lot, which ran Dr. Greeley up to within four votes of Adams, drew out hearty expressions of good will. The third ballot showed Greeley steadily gaining. This apparently satisfled the crowd that his strength was real, and. that he had «firm foundation. On the fourth ballot Dr. Greeley lost seven votes, while Adams gained fifteen, the whole number being: Adams 27 251, and scattering 182. n these figures appeared upon the bulle- tins, Dr. Greeley’s friends lost hope. A p ivate despatch was soon afterward received ut the Tribune office announcing the nonination of Adams, It was shown to Dr. Greeley. He ex- pressed no surprise, but sald that Adams was a good man, and continued writing without turn- ing his head. He showed no signs of disappoint- ment. He seemed to have quietly determined to resume his old position as wheel horse of the Republican party, and to steadily pull in the traces, Ten minutes afterward the result of the fifth ballot was announced. Dr. Greeley had re- guined his lost voets, but Adams wus @fty-one votes ahead of him, THE ANNOUNCEMENT. At five minutes of J o'clock the Hon. Benja- min Wood entered the Trine counting room. His fine face was flushed with excitement. He passed behind the counter, and inquired for Dr. Greeley. In breathless words he announced Dr. Grecley’s nomination to Sam Sinclair, Be- fore Mr. Wood could be ushered into Dr. Gree- ley's presence, Tom McWatte one of the Triune’s old office-boys, ran lightly up the stairs into Dr. Greeley's offive. The Doctor had begun a fresh editorial article. His gold pen was danc- ing over abroad sheet of foolscap with almost lightning rapidity. Tom handed him adespatch, Dr. Greeley took his pen crossways between his teeth, turned partly around in his easy chair, bent toward the light, and read the following through his gold-bowed glasses : CINCINNATI, May 3. Hovace Greetey, Tribune, N, ¥ You were nominated on the sixth ballot. D. H. Wat ANSON STAGER. y threw the despatch In hts waste and drew off bis glasses, The shrewd im fshed Lue aespateh out of the waste basket and shoved it into his vest pocket as a souvenir, In asecond Mr. Sinclair and the Hon. Benjamin Wood were in the room shakin hands with the noble eran, and warmly con- gratulating him. Dr. Greeiey arose. His fare was wreathed in smiles. He was p and honestly expressed his pleasure. But when the mail clerks, the reporters, the pressmen, the compositors, the office boys, tho stereotypers and other employees of th 'ribune rushed up tho stairs and overwhelmed him with genuine expressions of pleasure, the heart of the good philosopher was touched with honest pride His countenance reminded one of a summer morn in June, He repeatedly shook hands, and thanked all for thelr kind wishes. ‘The news spread like wildfire. The whole city was thoroughly aroused. The newsboys pene- trated to the remotest streets and alleys shout- lng out their extras with the nomination of Horace Greeley Crowds surrounded the bul- letins, and hearty cheers rent the alr, Men stopped each other on the streets, and expressed their pleasure at Dr, eeley's Nomination. Everybody—even the boothlacks—spoke of him as" Horace,” nod old Horace,” “Honest old Horace.” Allacted as though their warinest personal friend had received the nomination, In some instances workingmen threw their hats in the air on receiving the news, and rolled out lusty cheers, The rotundas of the Astor House, the St. Nicholas, the Fifth Avenue, Delunonivo's, Rudolph’s, Bang’s, Cook & Duff's, Matar other first-class saloons, were Jammed with well- dressed men drinking the good Horace’s health, Men grew wild with excitement.

M., prepar- ing his editortal articles. The room is carpeted. Yesterday it contained three chairs, two desks, and a high stool. Two of the chairs were cane~ bottomed, and one of them had a broken arm. A high desk, fronting the west window. was used by Dr. G eoley's secretary. There was an old sofa in the room, where the Great Re- former rests after the visits of importunate visitors. Animmense map of the world hung at the back of the room, One side of the apartment was covered with large maps of New Jersey and New York. The space between the two windows was occupied by @ steel-plate engraving of the “ Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers,” anda framed copy of President Lincoln's “Emancipation Proclama- tion.” An open bookcase filled with books of reference sat in the northeast corner of the room, Dr. Greeley’s desk was at its right, The Grent Editor's desk was littered with newspaper clippings and manuscripts. Some of these look- ed as though they had slept vu the desk since the time that Henry Clay ran for President. Two brass-bound volumes of the Tritune Almanac from the date of Its publication were chained to the desk. A ricketty pair of scissors also swung from a chain, Dr. Greely's hat lay Inside-up among the papers on the desk. The small drawers of the desk were half drawn out. Postage stamps, envelopes.letter paper,and old pamphlets seemed ready to creep out of the drawers, A box c common red wafers was half upset on the left, while an oid-fashloned sand-box was standing guard near the scene of the accident. Dr. Gr unfinished editorial article lay tn fro of his chair. He had laid seven Virginia worm- fences in ink, and had then bitten them off in the middle of aword. ‘The top of the desk was covered with bright-covered volumes in orderly rows. Among them were Lanman's Dictionary of Congress, the Congrossstonal Directory the Bluc Book, State Manual, and similar works. The Doctor's desk {s either very high or his chair is very low ; for when he writes his desk is ona level with his chin. He ts near-sighted. His chair isa high canc-backed affair, rigged on aswivel. It squeaks when It turns. The great Economist was dressed in a black suit throughout. He wore a steel-pen coat. His pantaloons were drawn over his bootlegs, and his cravat was not out of place, He wore no Jewelry. Plain china shirt-buttons glistened on his bosom, and.a black silk watch guard ran about his neck. He greeted his visitors with unusual urbanity, ‘To the Hon, A. H. Byington of Connecticut, who is a warm personal friend of Senator Ferry, he talked very freely. ‘The conversation turned mainly upon Connec*t and Massachusetts politic The 8eN reporter, who had entered newspaper life under Dr Greeley’s supervision, then conversed with hin substantially as follows Reporter—Did you expect the nomination, Mr. Greeley Dr. Greeley—I thought Senator ‘Trumbull would get it, He would have made an excellent candidate, I cannot say that I expected the nomination Reporter—I Dr. Gree graphed. Reporter—I have not seen the despatche: Have they run a tariff plank into the platform? Dr. Greeley (with an honest smile)—They have done just what I thought they should have done, and just what I advised—referred the whole tariff business to the people, to be settled in the Congressional districts. Reporter—If the people elect a majority of Congressmen in favor of arepealof the tariff bill, and the Congress als that Dill, what would be the duty of the next President of the United Stat wr, areviey (promptly)—It woulda be his duty to sign the bill passed by Congress.
