This peremptorlly refused, amiu Jeeis anu
ter because an rascible member asserted this Con-
venton means business and this is the time TO nave
it done - and so The slow coach moved on. rolling
in the same ruts and gradually wearing the patience
of the audience out. When the fourth ballot was
announced the friends of Mr.. Adams claimed the
game: few more votes, which would unquestion-
ably come to him in the next ballot would settlet
question in his favor.
APPROACHING THE CLIMAX.
At this iuncture the withdrawal of the Illinois
delegation for consultation gave indication OF an
approaching conclusion to the game of balloting.
Illinois held the choice in her hands, and rs she
withdrew the different States seemed to recognize
it, for, as the votes were called, an overwheIm-
ing increase was made on Mr. Greeley. IDe
result was manifestly agreeable one, for the wd
est cheers of approval followed. Half the Conven-
ton rose. and when the change en- masse was cried
from Indiana. there seemed an end to anything like
further proceedings. The change in the count
standing without the vote of Illinois absent
consulting 293 for Adams and 31S for Greeley, cleo
trifed the assembly, and made the result apparent.
However there was somewhat of q cloud when ILL
nos, appering through her chairman, Leon
ard Sweet, cast q votes for Adams ana
Is for Greeley. Then there was an
enthusiastic outbreak the other side; but fortune
X,
The chairmen of fifteen States sprung up, demand
ing to change to Horace Greeley; the Chair
was unable to give any one recognition
until finally it was requested that changes should
be written and handed up Pennsylvania came to
the front, completely revolutiOnizing her previous
ballots-fifty votes for Horace Greeley-and the
Convention, recognized the meaning of the move
ment Then, in rapid succession, Indiana. Ken
tucky Minnesota, Kansas and Vermont changed IN
in bulk Then Illinois passed in forty-two,
and the work was ended. Then followed
scene of indescribable cOnfusi0n-cheers, with an
occasional hiss until the Chairman gave up in de-
spair, and let Babel reign unmolested. When he
could make his voice audible, however.
Senator Schurz informed the Convention
that the record was defective, and another
call would have to be made to confirm the changes
but this was overruled by indignant shout OF dis
approval and the list went as put down. The
names of Senator Trumbull and Judge Davis
having been withdrawn, the result between
Adams and Greeley was officially announced. When
the call for unanimous vote came the element
known as Free Trade and Revenue Reform mani
tested disposition to mar the enthusiasm
by logged silence and an indignant and
unanimous nay Curiously enough, nothwith-
standing the overwhelming vote of the nominee,
Gen. Cochrane came to the rescue by demanding
whether Horace Greeley was the choice of this Con-
vention The Chairman apoloGzed, and announced
the nominee of the Liberal Republican Convention
for the Presdency-Horace Greeley of New-York.
BAILoTING FOR vICE-PREsIDENT.
The long suspense was ended, and the nomination
for Vice President came on with calmness and little
excitement From the first, b. Gratz Brown seemed
the faverite, and it not q surprise when,
on the second ballot, the great Western
and Southern States wheeling into line carried him
successfully to majority. Much of the previous
scene was enacted, the Convention receiving the
announcement with irrepressible enthusiasm, and
demanding speech frem Gov. BFewn--- He had dis
appeared however, and the concluding work was
put to the delegates.
HOW THE NOMINATIONS ARE RECEIVED.
There is no necessity of repeating the minutes Of
the Conv enon the result is not yet estimated here
but the first men of the Western and Southern States
come forward to testify their satisfaction with the
complete work of the Convention. All shades
of political opinion acknowledge the wisdom and
dignity of the resolutions and the popularity of the
candidates. Conversation with the leaders, this
evening, from most of the States. denote that the
work of the Convention will receive univer-
sal favor. To be sure, the free-trade
people do not glow with enthusiasm
nor do their leaders reaffrm their pledge made last
Sunday to stand by the work of the Convention A
few of them required time for reflection before
swering; but of the strongest of them, such
the able and sagacious DOrsheimer of Buffalo,
fall in heartily with the selection. The
nomination of Mr. Greeley meets with cordial ap-
proyal among those delegates who come from agr-
cultural districts A great man from Minnesota. in
a conversation, this evening, said: There was no
man in America whom Minnesota would prefer be-
fore Horace Greeley.
The Hon. John Wentworth's dispatch to Judge
Davis. announcing the result as given by himself to
a Jolly crowd of Davis men this: 1.-The enemy
came down on us with the cry, Amy man to beat
Davis We have given them any man. We like
him. Ask them whether they like him ~
Some eff the Davis men went over to Adams indeed,
in the hurry at this moment it is impossible to ascer-
tain whether majority of them did not take that
direction. Few, if any, have been heard to
express any dissatisfaction at the result. Three
fourths of tho Missouri delegation are in state of
rapture over it, conspicuous among them being the
active editor of Carl SchuIzs German newspaper in
st. Louis The others are disappointed but not
gloomy.
