U-.sUrxcToH. June 2l.-Dispatches re-
lin, tbe Fifth Avenue hotel meeting
,,,,satisfactory, and possibly in many
,,ontS aiC untruthful. !. ID. Cox presided.
There was n large German representa-
fiou. The Free Trade Democrats were We
hement in their opposition to Greeley,
though the acceptance of Greeley was DOM
iuant. Trumbull saw no option but to
support Greeley. Schurz said he must
support Greeley from necessity. He sug-
rested a call of States Alabama, Greeley,
Col. FORSYTH spokesman Arkansas,
Greeley, Senator Rice spokesman; Con-
necticut, anti-Greeley, d. A. Wells spOkes-
man; but Mr. English said the Democrats
of Connecticut were good for Greeley
Georgia, Greeley, Henry w. Hillyer
spokesman; Illinois, Horace White, of
Chicago, said the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties had served their purposes,
and that Greeley was the best man cut to
into both Iowa and Indiana, FltZ Henry
Warner disapprOved of Greeley, but
should he be nominated by the Baltimore
Convention, Iowa would go for him; Ken
tuclv. Watterson said all the paths that
20 from Greeley lead to Grant, therefore
all who go for Greeley go for the enfran-
chisement of the South; New York, Park
Goodwin strongly denounced the support
of Greeley under any circumstances.
The Conference adjourned at l o'clock
this morning.
In Kentucky the Democratic cOnven-
ton re-affirmed the principles of recent
State conventions, and urged union Ofall
the elements against Grant, and instructed
its delegates to vote as a unit. Greeley
feeling is evidently dominant.
Another statement says that, at the
nj fnrnnpn X-nCfnr1aU Spn0-
tor Trumbull delivered a short address, i'll
which he said, "To the question that
comes uppermost among us there is only
one answer which occurs to me as reason
able or pOssible-hOT are we to defeat
Grant by supporting Greeley"
Carl Schurz said respecting the Cincin-
natl nominees: Perhaps n better ticket
could have been devised, and perhaps not
Greeley is now before the people and his
name can not be withdrawn. The over
whelming waves of opinion are rising up
in his favor, and it would be idiOtic to at
tempt, at this iuncture, to stay their pro-
gress. The Senator expressed the opinion
that if Mr.. Greeley was elected, he would
be by an overwhelming vote. He would
select from all parties such cabinet and
draw around him such men as the nation
would place entire confidence in.N
The World editOrially treats the confer
gnce as a tiascO.
The Herald thinks that the conference
made the development that the Democrat
ic party, old and young, will go for Gree
ley.
The Times says that it amounted to moth
ing.
The Tribune believes that nothing but
good has resulted from the conference.
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, June N.-The
Democratic State resolutions were unani-
mOusly adopted. Resolutions endorsing
the Cincinnati platform and the delegates
to Baltimore were instructed to vote as
unit for Greeley and Brown. Entire har-
mOny prevailed and the Convention adj
iOurned amidst great enthusiasm.
The convention called by Judge StallO
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel met this after
noon. No reporters were admitted. 1t
was learned, however, that Ex-Governor
Cox made speech endeavoring to har-
monte on Greeley. Edward Atkinson
urged III his speech the nomination of
Charles Francis Adams as the means to
unite reform against Grant. Among those
present were the following gentlemen
Colonel GrOsvenOr, L. T. Gault, of Mis-
souri,, Carl GantZer, Park Goodwin and
w. c. Bryant. Thequcstion was debated,
Shall we nominate ticket? After a long
discussion it was decided in the affirma-
tive, when Cox publicly withdrew from
the deliberation. The platform denounces
Greeley and Cincinnati and pledges the free
traders to the support of their own policy
under all circumstances.
