Republican Conventions.

SYRACUSE NAY ~, 1900.
The New York Black Republican State Convention and
the National Abolition Convention viii ube here to-
for the purpofe Of appointing delegates TO the
National Nominating Convention, which in phlla-
deIphia on the 18th Of June.
TIE delegates have not AL arrived yet and judging
from present appearancss the representation at either
Of these bodies will not be very full.
The aboli,ionists do not in strong force bat
q them sad, II it il not great in numbers, it will
Be stJopg in principles" Their cho,e for Presidential
candidate is understand Gerri Smith, (white man),
and for Vice President, Frederick Douglass (eoored)
The platform which the Convention intend to
sdopt win resemble, in many particulars, tina.
Of the back republicans There will DO
rcering series OF resolutions upon the present stats of
things in Kansas end the free State men to be
conraged to 6ght I'LL the "last armed foe expires H.;
Upon the assault Mr.. Sumner there Will be more reso
Irtons equally strong and expressive Of their detsrmi
put stop to what they call the spirit of slavery
aggression.
The black republicans say they are unanimous on the
objects for which the ion is called and that they
mill stand by the platform adopted in the address st the
Pittsburg Convention The majority of delegates
said 70 be in Avor Of Seward for their Presidential
dte and will instruct the delegates to be appointsd
20 the National Convention Col Fremont however, has
strcng friends who determined to contest his claims
70 the last sevard's partsans Wiling to Compromise
matters by Offering him the nomination for Wise Presi-
dep nut it win be refused with indignation. Chase
Otio is sp ken o. nominee for the Presidency, and
sumneS s regarded Of the strongest claimants be-
fore the Convention. There will be number of resolu
lions devoted to him; and account Of the fund OF
sympathy created for him by the personal assault Of
Brooks, he may receive the nomination. 1t is hardly
probable that he viii, however. The political capita
created by public sympathy, real supposed for bosn
head is not Of very reliable character, The "knowng
onesn at least too shrewd 70 think II will last till the
Presidential election and Summers chances, after a
are rather poor. The Fttsburg platform will be some
what modified but will suffer little no change what
principles possesses The destruction Of the towa Of
Lawrence is to resolve marked notice, and upon the
pedieney or policy Of recommending the free State
to feht IL out there will IL Is expected, be warm dis
cusson. On this point, however, the abo onists vii
be ahead Of Them but, Lewis Tappan told me, tn .
black republicans although not quite up TO their stan
dard, soon will be- and after little while may stan
upon their platform.
THERE'S sort of brothery feeling existing between hem
already, and the fact of their having the
town to hold their conventions in IL looked upon by the
sangnine Of both sections suspicious OF an early
union. In fact, the black republicans already re-
gayded by the abotioniss favorable to their prin
ciples.
