Mr.. Flanagan Texas called out Nh
George w. Carter, of Texas, who led
= rebel brigade. He wanted to hear from
the eX-secession side of the house. TCrie
Of " Carter!" "Carterp'7
Mr.. Carter came to the platform, an,
spoke so inaudibly that it was difficul
to hear at first. He said he had been
rebel, but was reconstructed; that b,
came out of the war with two planks il
s his platfOrm-fiTst: if he couldn't ge
4 what he wanted, he would take what h,
4 could get; second: that a whipped MAJ
e had no right to dislike what be wOulC
C have learned-that the will of the peopl,
= must be respected. Referring to Greeley
3 he said the people Of his State respect

e them behave themselves. If the Dem

f he believed Grant would get more Dem
Ocratic votes in Louisiana than Greeley
> Great cheers.
Mr.. Sraubach Alabamal, beingcalleC
out, addressed the convention in strong
German accent, and recited some of the
crueltiGs of the kuklUX to illustrate the
Importance of decided Legislation. In
conclusion, he predicted that Schurz
could not muster a corpOral's guard Of
Germans ID follow his own political
funeral.
STORES Illinois was called. He said
he represented part of a great carpetbag
State. There was only one man in the
delegation who was born in the State.
He eulogiZed the energy and enterprise
of her people, and said if caTpetbag
tree produces such fruit, let's plant it, foI
! Gods sake. all over the land. The
a speaker was interrupted by impatient
cries of a. tfae, timeH but the Chair
man interfered and restored order, and
Mr.. Stores proceeded with his speech.
de ridiculed the pretenses of Carl SchUrz,
who, he said, had failed miserably, both
in war and peace. He ignored him as a
fellOw-citizen, saying that he was so no
longer. He predicted the reelection of
| Grant, as his own successor, by larger
majority than any candidate had ever
/ got, and closed his remarks.
/ There was great confusion, and impa-
/ tient calls to proceed with business. Sew
/ eral delegates proposed to 90 on at once
with the nominations, instead of wait
| ing for the report of the Committee on
Platform, but the Chairman announced
that the committee would be prepared to
report in half an hour.
In response to calls, John B. Hender-
son Missouri spoke from his place in
the delegation. 1t was difficult to hear,
but it was understood that he declined
any extended remarks, till he should get
his text in the nominations and plat
form. The Republican party in Missou-
the hills and valleys of that State one
universal shout for the nominees of this
convention. The divisions Of the party
there had been unfortunate, but they
had been healed, and the Republicans
and Liberals now stood on a common
platform. He said that GratZ Brown
had seemed to think, after his election as
Governor, that be owed most to the De-
mOcTacy; he had accordingly left US.
Let him 90. We wish him every sue
cess, except his election on the tail of the
Liberal Republican ticket.
James r. Lynch [colored7 Secretary
of State, Of Mississippi, was called out,
and took the platform. He said the
colOred people were waiting anxiously
to hear Of the denomination Of Grant.
| Lynch continued and said that the col
Ored people of America are gravitating TO
the South, and their indispensibility to
/ the develOpement of that section and
| Mexico and Central America is well
/ known. 1t is expected that Grant will
/ be strong at the South; Greeley has no
chance at the South. A man whose
I genius com manded so successfully in
the field when the popular heart was
weak, is the man for this hour.

Mr.. Spencer, Of New York, moved to
suspend the rules of order and proceed

An Ohio delegate called for the Grip
pied delegate from that State, General
l.. +. Moves. Noyes, advancing to the
platform, said that the failing of the
Ohio delegation was to talk less and act
more. They ought to finish the business
and 20 home. He was afraid theywould
not be able to go home tonight if they
waited for the report of the Committee
on Platform, therefore he wished to pro-
ceed with the nominations at once, and
let the platform come afterward He
promised for the nominees of the con-
ventiOn a larger majority than Ohio
gave to Grant four years ago. LCheers.
There was absolutely no disaffection in
Ohio. Cheers. There had been few
Liberal Republicans, as they are called,
but they were now ashamed Of them
selves, and were stronger friends of
Grant than before. He persisted in the
opinion that the convention should at
once proceed TO nominate a candidate
for President. Cries Of "Make a mo-
tiOnwl In conclusion, he moved to
suspend the rules and proceed to the
nomination for President. Carried.

Mr.. Woodford New York. said that
the home Of the distinguished editor
who was nominated at Cincinnati, asked !
you to pause before you make the |
nomination, which is equivalent tol
an election, until she can second the |
nomination. -Four years ago she sus-
tanned Grant because she recognized her |
obligation of gratitude TO him; to-day |
she indorses him because he has been |
tried and found true. He referred to 1
Summers citation of Stanton against /
Grant for the purpose Of showing that /
Stanton and Lincoln both knew Grant |
thoroughly and trusted him utterly, not |
only to crush out the rebellion in his /
own silent way, but also to negotiate the |
great rebel surrender and its terms. /
From his grave the dead Stanton re- |
Dukes the living Sumner. 1Cheers. I |
