This is all STUFF aud not very crcdiablc
n, Tint. II IL not true lhat the Cdnvcn-
ton stood as fifteen 10 oiip ngoius nomi-
nation ut Baltimore. There never was n
fair teri or strength, but SdrowN Judgment
is that, on n call Of counties, the Ccnvcn'
ton would have been found abon, equally
divided. Had there Ecena true rcprcsen
ta,ion Of tic Democratic v5tcrs of the state
The majority would have been decided for
n,aigh, ont ticket There W 5 no occa-
sion for bringing out hc democratic
strength Of the ID Congressional district
in the last election, and nearly half of the
democrats did not turn ont and vote after
h"ving registered. Besides n great num-
Der have never registered. In the first
mud third districts, tho result wac doubt
rul. and great efforts wcro made to get
eve Fy democrat "a the p0lla. The conse-
1ucacc was hal those districts were more
Filly represented in the State Convention,
the vote at the last Congressional election
having been fixed as the basis Of reprcscn
tatiou. As to the display of "magnnnimi
ty," this would be laughablc, If it were
not calculated to create so false an impress
sion. So far from any being shown, the
Grcclcyites fought TO the last, not only in
Committee, but on tic floor Of the Conven'
lion, after the Committee had compromised
and reported. The delegate from Harris,
Mr.. Brady, moved instructions to inaorsc
Greeley, and lis associate, DR.. Ashbcll
Smith, the Charm n of the Committee on
Platform and Resolutions, who was in
honor bound 10 sustain the Report, stood
| y and allowed his vote to be given against
ii and in favor of instructions. After the
election Of delegates, when il was suppcs-
ed lha, n majority of them Favored the
Greeley movement, he attempted to secure
the vote Of the Stale ~ n unit at Baltimore.
The four additional delegates for the S.wte
ut large beyond the sixteen 10 which the
State is entitled, were added for the same
purpose, The magnnnimiiy boosted of is
myth. It has no existence except in the
b ain Of the Telegraph. We know how it
was up to The time when we left, and we
have the statements OF other delegates who
remained to the end, MS well as the news
p" per reports, which, by the way, are very
imperfect. The report, which various pa
pers are publishing, that n delegate from
Dallas moved to instruct for straight out
nomination, is utterly Without foundation.
II was he paliry trick Of n Greeley man,
which We have heretofore dcnn'lnced, and
which was quite worthy a radical of,thc
first water. The Convention is ovcr-the
democracy of the State are all united on
Snlc affairs, important above everything
else; two very clever gentlemen have been
selected to ruin for Congress for the State
II! large, and NC Of the n District, whose
favoriIc was defeated, will do our best to
elect them by q rousing majoriy-bnt let
things be represented fairly, and let there
BE no more twaddlc ab5tt 'magn
1t is like adding instilt to injury. We
want none Of your mngnaDimity-w ask
only good faith and proper appreciation
of our voting strength when candidates
ire TO be selected.
