StalIO Starts a BOlting Convention,
Which dominates GrOesbeck for
President.
I'D. Cox Withdraws from the Boilers
TrumbuII and schurz for Greeley.

/ L d
! could have been devised and perhaps not.
Greeley is now before the people and his
name cannot be withdrawn. Overwhelm-
ing waves of opinion are rising in his favor,
and it would be idiotic to attempt at this
iuncture to stay its progress.
The Senator expressed his opinion that
if Mr.. Greeley was elected, as he would be
| by an overwhelming vote, he would select
! from all parties such Cabinet and draw
around him such men as the nation could
place entire confidence in.
Views of the Press.
The World editorialy treats the Confer
ence as a fiasco.
The Herald thinks the Conference devel-
| oped that the Democratic party, old and
| young, will go for Greeley.
The Times says it amounted to nothing.
The Tribune believes nothing but good
has resulted from the Conference.
A Bolt from the Boilers.
It is reported that after the adjournment
of the conference last night, Judge Stallo
called a meeting for to-day of those dis
satisfied with the result of yesterday.
A Political Dejeuner.
An announcement was made that Greeley
| and Schurz would breakfast together this
morning, but SchurZ was not present. a
| communication was received from him re-
GREETING that he could not attend. Horace
White and others were in attendance.
Judge sfaIIO's Convention.
The convention called by Judge Stallo
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel met at o'clock
this afternoon. Nc reporters were admit
ted. 1t has been learned, however, that
| ex-Gov. Cox made speech endeavoring to
harmonic on Greeley. Edward Atkinson
urged in a speech the nomination of Chas.
Francis Adams as a means to unite the re-
formers against Grant. Among those pres
ent were the following gentlemen: Col
Grosvenor, L. T. Gault, of Missouri, Carl
Dantzer, Park Goodwin and W. c. Bryant.
! The question was debated, "Shall we
nominate ticket? After long discussion,
It was decided in the affirmative, when Mr..
Cox publicly withdrew from the delibera-
tons. The platform denounces Greeley
and the Cincinnati Convention, and pledges
free traders to the support of their own
policy under all circumstances.
LATER.-The Conference at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel after a session of 8 hours,
nominated Vim. S. Groesbeck of Ohio, for
President, and Frederick Law Olmstead of

ted the following resolutions:
Whereas, at a conference of gentlemen
from several States of the Union, held at
New York, June 20, 1872, it has been con-
clusively shown that opposition to the cleo
ton of Grant cannot be, and ought not to
be, united on Horace Greeley, therefore be it
Resolved, that the following declaration,
! in our opinion, contains the political prin-
cipies essential to the welfare Of the Amer
