Special to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, June 20.-The conven-
ton to-day is in full session-many
more delegates having arrived For
numbers and character of the members
the assembly is unprecedented. The
Radical officials are astonished at the
great popular demonstration. fI-,
The delegates appointed to the Balti-
more Convention are to support Greeley
and Brown. Among the delegates are
Judge 7. B. Hanley, Of Helena, Captain
Sanders, J. C. McCabe and Major Go
van, of Helena; Colonel G. A. Peay,
General Fagan, T.. Fletcher, Major w.
d. Bloeher and r. S. Newton, of
Little Rock; Governor Flanagan,
of Clark county; Thomas Duval,
F. A. Smith, Elias Rector, Hon. Jesse
Turner, ]. T. Triggers, General Doekery
and Others. ...rr
a State Central Committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of fifteen members,
five of whom are residents of Little
Rock. The discussion to-day indicates
full harmony with the Reform Liberal
movement. A Passive policyis advised
if Brooks should not be openly indorsed.
No Democratic ticket is to be put in the
field. The Liberal Republicans promise
a confirmation Of whatever this conven-
ton does. Bully for the Brindletails!
But little was done in the Democratic
Convention to-day. The question was
on nomination or no nomination, and
those who are posted predict that the
final action Of the body win be in ac-
cordance with the following resolutions
which have been offered by General
Cabell, of Sebastian county, and were
referred to the committee on resolutions:
ResOlUed, That we believe it to be i'm
polite and dangerous TO the true interest
Of the people of the State of Arkansas
for this convention to make nOmina-
tiOns for State officers, andhaving every
confidence in the honesty and intelli-
gence of the great body of those com
posing the Democratic party of the
State Of Arkansas, therefore remit to
their sound discretion the question as to
how they shall vote as between the two
factions of the Republican party who
may have candidates for State officers
in the field.
ResOiued, That we earnestly urge the
thorough organization of the party in
all election districts and in our counties,
using every honorable means to secure
the election of members to the State
General Assembly, and of county Off
GERS, and that cordial invitation be ex-
tended to all persons, of whatever party,
who are honestly in favor of reform, TO
reunite with said organization.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to
oppose the election of all independent
candidates for any Office, no matter un-
der what party name they offer them
selves.
There Is a night session being held to-
night, but no decision had been reached
at half-past ten o'clock.
The Liberal Republicans do not seem
to get along well in their convention.
The session to-day was mostly held in
secret, reporters being carefully barred
out. The open portion of the session
was spent in warm discussion, and ad-
journed to meet again tomorrow morn
ing. Only fourteen delegates were pres
ent to-day.
Logan H. Roots has been removed
from the position of United States Mar
shal Of the First judicial District, to
make room for w. A. Button, sup
porter of the State administration.
