SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May GA largely
attended and enthusiastic meeting OF Llbe-
raj Republicans and Democrats was held in
the Hall of the House of Representatives
this evening, to ratify the Cincinnati nomi-
nations. Hon. Ed. Rummel, Secretary Of
State, presided. Speeches were made by
Coy. Palmer and Gen. JnO. A. McClernard,
Secretary of State.
It is rumored that Hon. Alex. Starnes,
and others of both parties, are declaring
their determination to stand by the nomi-
nations regardless of the action of any
other convention which may be held here
after. The Democrats here almost unani-
mously sustain the nominations, as do all
the Liberal Republicans.

ST. LOUIS, May 6.-Gov. Warmoth and
the Louisiana delegation to the Cincinnati
Convention were serenaded at the Southern
Hotel tonight, large crowd prent. Gov.
Warmoth reviewed Grants government of
the Southern States, and was especially
severe upon his conduct in Louisiana,
charged him with an attempt to subVert
State government at the South, claimed it
the duty of the people to resist. He spoke
of the Cincinnati Convention as a
popular revolution against which it was
useless to contend. The people had been
oppressed and robbed of their rights for
four years, and now demanded them. The
duty of all was to stand side by side, ire
spective of old party lines. The best men
of the South were excluded from par
ticipation in the government and
handed over to be plundered. They
were entitled to Representation
in the State Governments. If they were
once rebels, they are rebels no longer.
There have been six years of delusiVe
peace, and the time has come for honest
patriots to assert their rights. BE was with
them despite all previous party affiliations.
Eight years residence in the South had
identified him with Southern inter-
ests, and he would always be found
ready in their defence. Greeley and Brown
was the best nominations that could be
made. One represented honesty, the other
enterprise. Greeley always battled in de-
fence of Republican institutions. Brown
was the first man to resist and overthrow
the tyranny of Grant in Missouri. He
considered their election a foregOne
conclusion, if the Democrats endorsed the
nominations, as he expected they would.
He thanked the people Of Missouri for the
interest manifested in the movement and
guaranteed they would prove worthy OF it.
Gen A. Sheridan also spoke in the same
strain. Both speeches were loudly applaud
ed.
GOV. Brown
went to Jefferson City to-day, and will be
serenaded tomorrow night, when he will
make a speech.
South Carolina.
CHARLESTON, May 5.-The Conserva-
tive press of South Carolina heartily indorse
the Cincinnati ticket and platform as emf
nently acceptable to the South.
What the MOrmOns Say.
SALT LAKE, May 4.-The Herald
(Mormon) says Greeley and Brown is
strong ticket and if the Democrats endorse
Horace is next President.
The Tribune (Liberal) says there will be
a complete resusitatiOn of Democratic favor
in the event of the success of Greeley, for
the fusion once made, thereafter two parties,
and the Democrats alone will decide in the
question.
