one Of his very grittyist speeches, and
looked as imposing eloquent as possible
but was choked down into silence. A
gentleman who used to take his toddies
with the General, from black bottle In
his dingy little Office on High street, Co
lumbus, very feelingly made the remark

home.
The probability Is that Adams and
Lyon, or Adams and Edgerton, will be no.
minated to-day. The subject was under
warm discussion among the delegates last
night. Much feeling was manifested, and
some sharp words interchsnged. 1t is said
that there Is y serious difference between
the members of the New York delegation.

favor of Greeley. He expressed himself
as disguised with the convention and its
treatment Of the workingmen's delegates.
He thought that there was not single re-

in violently choking off several members
was shameful mockery on the Democratic
boast Of free speech.

The case of Col. Hill, delegate from
Arkansas, charged with obtaining goods
