The solemn Convention of today has remind
ed one throughout Of funeral occasion, per-
maps q continuation Of the late memorable OBJ.
sequles paid to illustrious dead in this ctr.
commencing without enthusiasm, the Demo.
Cratic Convention has passed away with aui-
e'aess DOM marked and ominous. All, even the
most Jealous Democrats, remark upon this, 1s-
cflbing 1t freely to the uncertainties of the re-
suit at Baltimore. Never did a lame political
gathering lead to lamer or more inpotent re-
suit in State Ticket, and over the work of to.
day neither here nor elsewhere through The
state will the Democracy get up more than
fictitious enthusiasm.
las convention came in session tardily, The
cause being protracted bsyond the hour fixed in
'ne eau. Hon. o. B. Ficklin, of Coles Co., was
maoe temporary Chairman, who, in response
10 feeble cheer, urged harmony and a speedy
transaction Of business. Lessrs. Goodell and
benham, Of Cook, and two others we're chosen
temporary Secretaries. A motion made to saye
tloe IN dlspeo..lng with Committee on Gre.
aeo'lals. .eesulted in entapgling the proceedings
IN @'ch confusion. Finally such a Committee
Vas chosen; also Committee On Permanent
Organization. An attempt to get at once to the
balloting did not carry, and wordy discussion
Of usages and precedents was Ill that YVES &C.
complished.

In Cor. McMurtry the Convention secured
one officer who constantly pushed them into
better dispatch Of business than most could
have done.
The Committee on Credentials reported all
the counties in the State represented, but Cal
houn and Cass, with a roll Of 405 delegates.
With this the Convention adjourned at III 4.
N. toaP.M.
The intermission was passed in busy and
not rery cheerful nor apparently very ssttsfac-
tory discussion Of candidates. As stated in my
last dispatch, the complexion of affairs remained
as to the order Of availibilities. Buckmaster
Was fayorite, but the danger of risking yacat.
ing his place in the Senate, especially IS urged
by Don Morrison's friends, killed the form
er, who, in his fall, drew Morrison down
with him. There is no question but that if
Newton Cloud, Of Morgan county, had consent
ed to stand the nomination. the high compli.
nent would have been paid back of pitting him
against Yates; but it was understood that Mr.
Cloud would yield On no terms. NEXT came
Allen, Of Crawford county, and the baloting at
