Democratic National Convention
CHICAGO, August % Among the resolutions
adopted at the Mass Convention at Bryan Hall
on Yesterday afternoon, over which Hon. Amos
Kendall presided. was one recommending to the
National Democratic Convention the nomination
of Gen. Geo Z Mcclellan as the most suitable
candidate Of the Democratic party for the Presi-
dency, and ex Governor Vim. B Campbell. of
Tennessee, for the Vice Presidency.
This resolution was Immediately seconded by
Hons Jas Guthrie and Leslie Coombs. Of Ken
lucky Hon. John r Haskns, of New York, and
Representative Rollins, of Missouri
The resolution was unanimously adopted. and
the Convention adjourned, to meet in the Court
House square.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The various delegations Of the National Dem
ocratic Convention are now full The few va
cances existing yesterday having been filed by
selection Of substitutes
No apparent changes have occurred in the
views OF different delegations as to the most
available candidates with the exception Of that
of Mcclellan, seems to gain strength with the
New England delegates
The session of the New York delegation last
night was prolonged until after midnight; but
although Mcclellan was in the maarity no def
mite conclusion was arrive at and it finally
agreed 10 take a decisive vote at 9 o'clock 10
morrow morning
Some Of the Mcclellan delegations from the
East and Pennsylvania begin TO talk sharply. OF
the course pursued by the New York delegation.
Thew claim that Mcclellan has large majority
of the whole vote Of the convention. and no
such vote can be concentrated on any otf er IN n.
and that il New York would only speak prompt
ly and emphatcally for him his nomination would
be made BY reclamation.
Gov Seymour continues to hold the position
that lie is not candidate This has led MANY
10 declare for Mcclellan who previously held
Seymour as their first choice.
MANY outsiders from New York, however, say
that Seymour has no right to deny his friends
The privilege Of using his name and these are
backed by ultra peace men who argue that Me
Clellan is toe much of War Democrat. and
that the country needs and demands a statesman
and civilian. and lot a soldier.
Notwithstanding all this. however, there is
still Il firm impression that Gov. Seymour will be
chosen President of the Convention. and he will
nominate Mcclellan; and il is very generally be
lieyed that should this occur. any opposition to
him will be too weak to amount to ANYTHING.
There Is some talk, in the event Of McClel
lan's nomination, 4 bolt will occur, another con-
vention be called, and an ultra peace man nomi-
mated
Mcclellan men disbelieve this. but say that
should such course be pursued. its only effcc,
will be to strengthen their candidate.
/, should have been in the dispatch of this
morning that the Conservative Union members
withdrew the Recommendation OF ex Governor
Campbell, OF Tennessee, just previous to the
adoption Of the resolution
