AFTERNOON.
The Convention met according to
adjournment. II. b. Smith being call
ed on, addressed the convention at con-
siderable length. He said he was hon
est in his political convictions, and he
was willing to accord the same honesty
to the masses of those who were opposed
to him politically. He, however, spoke
i'm emphatic language against radical
rule, saying that change in the adj
ministration was demanded by the pco-
pie. The people of the South were
praised, the Republicans accused OF
bringing on war that might have
been prevented, and the radical Con-
ed the political lives of the Presidential
candidates, and of course attempted
to make out that Gen. Grant was unfit
ted by education to occupy the White
House, while Seymour was the man
who would bring "peace" to our dds
tracted country" We do not pretend
