Shall Greeley be Nominated or Endorsed
-The Former Course Probable.

BALTIMORE, July S.-A number of delegates
arrived this forenoon, and nearly all delegations
are full. Over 600 are registered at headquar-
tiers. The principal subject of discussion
among the delegations has been the question of
straight nomination, or simply an endorse
ment of the Cincinnati nominees.
The Missouri delegation had meeting, and
While unanimously adhering TO the policy OF
nomination, they appointed committee OF
three, and passed a resolution requesting the APP
pointment of similar committees by all the
states, to meet tonight and confer, in order to
settle the question before the meeting OF the
convention tomorrow.
At the meeting of the national executive COM
mittee at noon, no decision was reached as TO
the selection of temporary chairman.

tatOrs.
OF the delegates who will not support Greeley
II nominated, there were not more than twenty
five at the meeting. Judge Joseph X. Flanders
presided, and among those present were Blanton
Duncan of Kentucky, Joseph Ledle, and Will
liam White of Springfield, Illinois, Henry Sher-
wood of Connecticut, and William Reed of Nor

movement is too insignificant to have any
weight with the democratic convention.

the Cincinnati platform. The Ohio delegation
had caucus Of four hours duration. Several
delegates declared their purpose not to vote for
Greeley, but after a number of speeches a reso-
luton was passed that the vote be cast solid for
