| Colonel VIM. N. Grosvenor answered fol
Missouri, speaking In the most eulogistit
terms Of the Cincinnati Convention, Its plat
| form and Its ticket, and recommending tina
the conference should indorse Greeley ant
Brown. He said that, with the exception o.
the gentleman from Cincinnati and Judge
Brinkerhoff, he did not know solitary Free
trader In the West who was not entirely In
| sympathy with the Liberal movement, and ir
| favor of Greeley and Brown. They do moi
| look upon MIR. Greeley In this canvas as a pro
| tectlonist that question being left to the Con.
gressioral districts. and he having pledged
| himself to carry out the will of the people in
the matter. They desire to secure much need
| ed reform, and to accomplish this at present
| they have but one hope, viz, the success o1
Greeley and Brown. [Great applause
Mr. Daeuzler. editor of st. Louis German
| paper, followed Colonel Gresvenor, taking
strong ground against the endorsement of the
Cincinnati ticket.
Judge David Naar, Democratic editor 10
New Jersey, spoke for his State. He said with
no ticket in the field but Grant and Greeley,
New Jersey would 60 for Grant.
The Hon. VIM. Dorsheimer, Of Buffalo, said
that he had gone TO Cincinnati, and was per.
tectly Satisfied with the result. He indorsed
considering that they were the only candidates
under which we could expect reform and
purifcation OF government.
SENATOR scHURz's SPEECH.
The last speaker was Senator Schurz, who
began his address about quarter-past eleven,
and spoke for nearly two hours. In begin
ming he said that, II anything like the earn.
estness and eloquence and energy which had
been shown by Mr.. Bryant in his remarks had
been manifested by him at Cincinnati, 1t
would have done great good; If anything IKE
the energy shown by other gentlemen at this
meeting, or In getting 1t up, had been SHOWN
at Cincinnati, the result would have been
very different; If half the people who were
vice-presidents at the Steinway Hall meeting
had been present OF Cincinnati they Woulu
not have had cause to meet mere. ~ wa. SO
very essential thing In politics not oHly 10 say
the right thing, but to say 1t at the right Time,
and the time was passed for any new utter
ances. It was too late Men must nave oe-
come convinced by the CONSULTATIONS nere' II
not before, that II was no longer possible 10
present any ticket with q chance or oeatlng
Grant except the Greeley ticket.
He then went on to present the great con-
siderations which moved him, with sense OF
duty, to support the Cincinnati ticket. If he
were to consult merely his personal feelings,
which he shared In common with others VINO
had expressed them there-if he felt at liberty
TO do that, 1t might be different. But he felt
that great public considerations Imposed
duty upon him and upon others which they
could not neglect or disregard. There had
been manifested throughout the South dis,
position toward thorough and sincere and
permanent reconciliation Of feeling through
the success Of this movement. The hand OF
friendship and cordiality was oustretched by
the men who had been fighting against us du.
ring the war. They were prompted to this by
the feeling that the Liberal Republican move
ment was for the en1ranchisement OF their
people and their relief from an oppression no
longer endurable. Any movement looking
directly or indirectly to the reelection OF
Grant-to the continuance of that oppression
would be to strike back and repel with Insult
those outstretched hands. He, for one, under
no circumstances and for no consideration
could take any step looking directly or iudi-
rectly to the continuance Of this admnisra-
lion and the repellIng of this tendency to-
ward reconciliation between North and SCUM.
he spoke next OF the Intensity Of party des-
potlsm, which those only could understand
who had been compelled TO confront It IN tne
Senate and In the House, appealing In vain 10
men who were known 10 believe IN certain re.
iorms but who did not dare TO act upon their
convictions, because OF that party despotism;
despotlsm which controlled committees,
which suppressed minority actions, whlcn
.whiteWashed the most gross and offensive mis-
deeds, that he could not conceive that any re.
form could possibly be aided or har6ored so
long as that despOtism remained hnoroKen;
that the first necessity with the country was 10
break that at ence-the first step toward the
accomplishment OF any reform whatever; tnat
il would become immeasurably stronger II
sustained and indorsed by The people, as II
would be on the reelection Of President
Grant and the existing power; that this again
seemed TO him TO impose upon every sincere
reiormer duty not to be avoided, not 10 De
neglected, and that under any circumstances
he could not, directly or Indirectly, contribute
to the re election Of tie present admlnlslra'
tIop. and to the continuance and strengthen
Ing of that party despotism which IL was the
first necessity TO break up.
Some had advocated the nomination OF
more Conservative ticket He had strong
leaning to the direction of such movement,
but felt that at this time, with such public IN,
terest at stake, men must seek, not personal
Ideas, but practical good, and the nearest
practical good they could accomplish.
General SchurZ then argued at considerable
length the utter imposslbllity Of presenting a
new ticket with the least hope OF success; Chat
even this meeting, 1t was plain, would oy q
considerable majority declare against putting
up new ticket; that there was 10 possibility
that any such ticket, even II p.t up unsnl.
mously by the meeting, could he adopted al
Baltimore. If some movement of this kind
had been made Immediately after the Cincln-
natl nominations 1t might haVI had some
weight; but 1t was OF no use TO try TO SUI
molten iron after it got cold. He said that
even two weeks ago he believed that he had
deceived himself even in supposing that any
such movement was possible. but that 1t was
very plain that 1t was not possible now.
He concluded by saying that, since there
would be no united action at the meeting, and
that large majority of those present were
not disposed to take any action looking to-
ward new ticket, he would suggest thut the
conference should now adjourn sine die.
Mr.. Cox made few remarks, saying that as
those who were present would undoubtedly
be likely TO act together In future relations
either this campaign or possibly during II, ne
earnestly deprecated any such sharpness ol
criticism or harshness OF expression as would
tend to embarrass that hearty and harmonious
cooperation OF men who thought alike.
THE RESOLUTION.
At the conclusion of Senator Schurz's
speech, Governor Randolph offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted, and was
| the only action had by the convention during
| the whole session.
Resolued, That this conference do now ad-
iourn sine die, without any further expression
| of opinion beyond those had from tne lnol
vidnal members, and that the thanEs Oh the
conference be given 10 the president lor nis
| Impartial conduct OF its business.
The resolution was then adopted unanl
mously.
After the conference had dispersed, Judge
Stallo, of Ohio, called meeting for to-day o
those who were dissatisfied with the result
yesterday.
