Of both parties that ever assembled iu the
State is now 81 Springfield, convened in the
Liberal and Democratic State Conventions.
At noon to day, the Democratic convention |
met At the Opera House, James c. Allen /
temporary cnsirman, with two secretaries. |
After the appointment of committees the |
convention adjourned until two O'Clock. |
The Liberal eonvention met in the State
House At Eoon, with Gov. Palmer temporary
chairman and Eric johnson, of Henry
county, secretary. After the appointment of
the usual committees the convention ad.
journed until 8 P. N. There 10 great enthu.
siasm among the members for Greeley. All
clalm that they will carry she State by .
handsome majority for the Cincinnati
ticket. They claim TO have assurances from
many prominent men not present Of an un-
qualified and vigorous support after the Bal
timore convention. The committee ON con
ference met the Democrats this afternoon,
and there is no doubt but that . satisfactory
basis of union viii be agreed upon. There
was the greatest enthusiasm when Gov. Pal
! mer took the chair and predicted the success
I OF the movement, which was Fe-eehoed Dy
the crowds outside who could not gain sd
mittsnce to the hall.
! CInolnnsti ia all right with the Democrats.
| The city Is full Of visitors al Of whom are
enthusiastic for Greeley. When his name
vas mentioned iu the Democratic Conven-
zion q perfect storm Of applause followed.
As We write the State Square is filed with
people snxiously waiting the happy mar
riage Of the two bodies, which looks fair to
carry the State.
Hon. J. @. Allen of Crawford has been
chosen temporary chairman. On appearing
on the platform he made brief but iorcible
speech which was well received. He urged
upon the delegates the importance Of .
union With the Liberels As the snrest and
only means of success. News was received
that Grosbsck would not acceps the nom
iustion rendered him in New York and
would make no concessions TO any body
outside of the regular Democratic Couven-
ton. This news will result in naming Hi
uois for Greeley.
1t has been settled that liberal will be
nominated for Governor, with the choice
resting between Koensr and Trumbull
Trum bulls friends have assurances that be
will accept. There is . strong influence
.. work for Koeusr, as Trumbnll accepts
rsthsr reluctaotly. Governor Brown is not
here having been detained by an extra
session of she Legislature. Senator Trum-
bull speaks at 2 this P. NJ. in the State
house yard.
r A letter from hon Carl schurz was read
in the Liberal Convention in which he sx-
s pressed his sympathy With the movement,
aud regretting his inability to be present
e Great applause followed this reading. The
Convention on motion endorsed the Cincin.
natl platform and candidates amidst the
n most prolonged applause.
Z The Thermometer only indicates goo in
the shade, so it will be seeu thtre is warm
{ work here-but il will be warmer for GIAnt
in November. It is not probable any
nominations will be made to-day-to
. morrow will probably tell the story OF th'
end Of Grant rule in the great state o
Illinois.
