Convention somewhere which prevented the Northern
and Southern delegates from coming together under the
same roof body To-day the whole thing leaked

gates want as plank in the PLATFORM Is the sticking
point with the Northern delegates and unless very
important men in the republican party can be in
duced TO swallow their words universal suffrage the
South viii not be issue in the forthcoming elections
throughout the country. few moments after the ad-
journment Of the Northern Convention it suggested
that there should be conclave Of all the Cover
nors Lieutenant Governors and ex-Governors who
present. Most people had idea that It would be
nothing than meeting for the purpose Of making
some arrangements for the demonstration tomorrow
night but the object entirely different one, as the
