or rather the antiGreeleyies for there is not and
cannot be bolt yet continued their efforts to-day
lor the purpose OF preparing the democratic
mind to receive regular nomination. They met at
the Maryland Institute at noon, but the crowd in
attendance was no larger than yesterday IN fact,
the audience was mainly composed OF people who,
having failed to procure tickets OF admission to the
opera House, were willing to do almost anything
to kill time. There were the usual number OF
public occasions and but few newspaper men. Un-
fortunately for the tranquility Of the meeting an
obstrperous inebriate got the floor very soon after
the meeting had organized, and made a proposition
to drive all the Greeley sympathizers out of the hail.
He was quite violent In his denunciations OF those

flowed for while in characteristic Bourbon style,
after which committee was appointed to prepare
resolutions and an address to the party Resou-
tons were also adopted endorsing the prospective
proceedings OF the regular convention, with the
provision that the candidates should be democrats
and the platform democratic. The meeting then
adjourned until tomorrow. Judge Van Allen one

Rochester Convention. He was secretary of the

Ex-Governor Wise, OF Virginia. was expected to
cal prominence, but Wise telegraphs his inability to
attend on account of the illness of his wife. Other
alleged sympathiZers offered similar or more trivial
excuses for their absence.
COLONEL MosBY, OF GUERRILLA FAME,
and very earnest ant-Greeey man. Is in town,
but has not participated in the proceedings Of the
bolters In truth, Messrs. Van Allen, Judge Flan-
ders and James M. Sweeny find themselves almost
alone In their efforts to create bolt and the pro-
Ceedings under the bOlters' call have thus far
proved to be exceedingly farcica There is, never
theless, sufficient backing to 1t Of private or
confidential character to sustain Flanders and Van
Allen in their efforts. These gentlemen, while en-
route to Baltimore, had consultation with
CHARLES O'CON0R
in New York, during which that gentleman, without
giving his adherence to the proposed bolt, uttered
words OF sympathy Both Van Allen and Flanders
declaration that Mr.. O'Conor is not sympathizer
with them. They say that he s too true demo-
crat to disobey the mandates OF his party conven-
tlon. There Is, nevertheless, every reason to
believe that letter written by him is now In
the possession Of Mr.. Flanders in which Mr..
nomna ton for President provided the nomir alton
could be accomplished without an Infringement
upon the discipline or allegiance OF his party obl-
cations. Every effort Is made by his friends to ex
plain this circumstance in such manner as to free
him from all connection with the boilers, and, as
declare that he has had no sympathy with them.
An agreement has already been reached by the
bolters, who accept Greeley's nomination as fore

THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION,

ABOUT MIDWAY between Gra1ton anu Parkersourg,
and is at present member Of Congress- This man
presents such
AN INCONSISTENT RECORD
as straightO out democrat that he throws con-
tempt upon the boilers. During the war he was a
lukewarm UniOnist and an advocate OF the dis
franchsing clause in the state constitution which
imposed upon lawyers, schoOmasters and Others
permanent disabilities. When the same laws were
about to be repealed by vigorous revolution
Mr. 'Af Davis %em5er Of the Lcssa
ture, voted against repeating the said
anti,repubilcan M clauses and up to the last was an
the worst propositions which have disgraced State
legislation. These matters are now being revived
to his disadvantage. as well as to the COM
mon disadvantage Of the boilers movement.
Davis is man OF medium size. OF
momentary impulses and without any particular
opinion here that the anti-Greeley boilers are OF
very little more consequence than Davis, and look
they Will have to get any historic recognition.
CoLoRBD sECEDER FROM GRANT.
Mr. saunders, Grant electOr from the state OF
Maryland, who formally came out yester-
day in favor OF Greeley and started a
wonderful commotion in Grant politics. has
been interviewed. He is q modest, unassumng
colored man, who is said to have been educated at
Oberlin and to have been at one time a tutor or
professor there. He is q very vigorous stump
speaker and has had more influence in Maryland
than any other colOred politician. He stated
among his reasons for advocating Greeley that he
had more faith in that old antislavery name than
in General Grants record for the coored people,
and that he thought where the democracy was
throwing up the sponge, the cOlOred people ought
TO be equally polite, and not commit their ever
lasting fortunes TO the support Of one party, and
that apparently the losing party. He said that
the domestic fortunes OF the coOred people would
lie for many years to come almost wholly
in the SOUTH and that to get the good will of the
influential and intelligent whites there was Of the
highest consequence, and would certainly, for the
next four years, hush all controversies between the
races II certainly looks as II the colored vote
