OConnor, Of South Carolina, regretted that
there should have been any differences Of
opinion. All other issues should b. merged in
the single one Of defeating tho reelection OF
the reconstruction acts, and the 18th, 18th and
18th constitutional amendments had been &C.
cepted. Public opinion was higher than gov
ernments, superior to any Ncclaration by the
convention: Applause., There was nothing
left US In the issue now but to save the nation
from destruction by corruption. He reviewed
rapidly, and criticised the foreign policy of the
administration, and urged o union of the
whole nation to defeat the unhaIlowed and
sllftless policy OF the present government
His illusions to the prospective election oi
Greeley were received with great applause. Al
