dieton headquarters as follows: "A fiue-iook-
ing. stalwart gentleman draws the swarm on
himself by attacking the greenback phase OF
repudiation: AS an individual might 20 tor
dishonesty by repudisting debts, but as an
debt and interest as we agreed to pay II, or
bust II we cannot pay It then let Us come
out squarely and repudiate the whole thing :
This appeal to asense Of night and wrong has
a momentary effect, but the spell Is broken
when prominent Pendletcnian exclaims: L
go individually for repudiaung now We did
not make the debt. 1t has been made by an I'M
sweeping it all out of the way We can't do
that now, but we can begin, and come ont
squarefy after Pen1leton is elected. This is
the !, sentiment Of the masses OF the New York
democracy. The leaders and the New York
World have been bought up by the bondhold-
ers, but the masses are all right All of which
was received with cheers"
The New York Express states that the Secre-
tary Of the Ohio delegation says the friends OF
Pendleton will not object or advocate the two
thirds rule they feel confident OF "puttin e
their man through" either under a ma iorlty
or two-thirds rule.
The Ezpre IS also says the Southern delegates
wereto meet last evening. and that they say
Northern Democrats should not be faint
hearted they (the Southerners) will carry
every State. even il every white man in them
is disfranchised

nently for the nomination. He would he highly
