ted Mr.. Chas. q. Locw, as President of
the meeting.
Mr.. Loew said he hesitated in taking
the place of the Mayor from whom he
received note stating he could not
leave the Convention, a. the bnlloting
was going on. He concluded II neat
speech by introducing the Hon. Rich
ara O'Gorman, for whom three cheers
were given. He said it was twenty-one
golden years since he sailed over the
lovely Rhine and studied European his
tory in the German land. New York
is the first German city in the Western
world We have not the inspiration OF
the castles of the Rhine, but within our
sight Is McGowan's pass, where the
American fathers fought the battles
which we have to fight in our time.
We must do our duty in this land of ours
Applause. The great Democratic
Convention will lead the way i'll which
we are to follow. We all love this land
and the Democratic party for that is the
party of the nation. [Appause.] He
trusted the Convention would uomin-
ate such pilots as would lead it out of
the stormy sea which environcd ii, and
into safety. The Constitution must be
preserved inviolable. [Applause.] He
if ii were not for the good of the whole
people. [Applause.l abandon the
Constitution and you have military law
instead OF the calm adjudication of the
judge. Irish and Germans ought all to
be friends in free America, to which
they come from the tyranny of Europe
Onr very hopes arc knit up in the per-
petuity Of this Union, and in the Union
of this land. The speaker resumed his
seat amid loud applause. The Hon.
Andrew Jackson Rogers, of New jersey,
followed in the same speech he delivered
last week up town. AS usual he revolt
ed at the contemplation of the late
bloody strife,' dwelt on the "fearful
debt" and wound up with his oft re-
peated denunciation of the negro. He
believed the Almighty was opposed to
the Radical party, for he took away
Lincoln and left the noble johnson in
his place.
Among the guests were the immortal
big Judge" who was fat and as jolly
as ever. His opinion was that Chase
would be the man. Mr.. O'Gorman
would give no opinion, but was determ-
ined to support the nominee who ever
he might be. Jack Rogers loved PEN
dleton well, but success more. The as
semblage did not break up till a late
hour.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
There was a sharp row in the Illinois
delegation when the first vote was taken
by States, Gov. Richardson, chairman
of the Illinois delegation, responded
mo" for that State; Mr.. Dowdell, of
the same delegation, rising Indignantly,
said a portion of the delegation had
voted eyes" Gov. Richardson said the
ha
delegates to vote as u unlt--and more
than two thirds had voted "No.n Mr..
Dowdell asserted that the instructions
applied only to the vote for Presiden-
tial candidate. Gov. r., with emphasis,
said the instructions would apply to
everything, and the record was made to
suit his view of the case.
Among the number ushered in with
great economy on Tuesday, was Miss
Susan b. Anthony, a tall, rather gaunt
lady of middle age in spectacles and
black garments, who listened to the
reading of her own memarial from the
Secretary's table with grave solemnity
in striking contrast with the hilarity
with which the document was received
by the assembled democrats to whom it
was addressed. Miss Anthony's pres
ence did not create the sensation she
seemed to expect, and she soon after
withdrew.
AT Il meeting of Pendletonians the
other evening, one of the unwashed
cried out as one of the advocates of the
popular OhiOan advanced on the stage
=" Wash me clean! Wash me clean ~
smut up!' cried suppresser of tubu-
lence. Don't disturb the meeting.n
Wash me clean Wash me clean ?"
vehemently and persistently exclaimed
the ardent Pendletonian. "Put him
out!' n disturbance was brewing. At
this juncture mild and benevolent
looking gentleman, with high fore
head, normal mustache and auburn
locks, came forward and appealed for a
moments silence, which was accorded.
He said-"No doubt. the audience la
bors under mistake. My jubilant
friend had recognized in me an old
friend. | am familiarity known at home
in Cincinnati as Wash Mclean and |
latter myself am something of clean
Tipped champion of the illustrous son
of Ohio" Then there We're three rous-
ing cheers for Wash Mclean.
