BALTIMORE, July ., 1877.
novice would be abundantly pleased and
excited with the spectacle presented in Baltimore
to-day. The prominent streets are filed with peo-
pie, nags are displayed everywhere, and the large
hotels have ceased to perform their usual hospit-
able functions, and the best customers must take
pot luck
FORD's THEATRE
is overhung with banners of all sorts, and is sur
rounded by gaping crowd OF Baltimoreans, look
ing at the distinguished folks who are pointed
out. The names of oil the States In the
country are shown on pennants, and
notices of different sorts cover the
front OF the building. There may be said to be no
excitement Of consequence as to the proceedings
OF the body, as yesterdays delegation meetings
settled the whole question: and it is now thought
that not above thirtyfve votes will be cast against
Mr. Greeley and that all efforts not to nominate,
but merely to endorse, will be a positive failure.
THE NEW WORKERS AND PENNsYLvANIANs,
as usual at national conventions, present the most
unmanageabe and undisciplined crowds.
THE GUARDIANSHIP OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE
Mr.. Kelley is urged by very many persons as the
successor of Mr.. Belmont, and yet nobody seems to
have clear notion of who Mr.. Kelley might be-
Many persons supposed that this Mr.. Kelley was
formerly leading banker in California, who trans
1erYed his ONCE to New York at the close Of the
war, and is a very determined antagonist OF Will
liam G. C.RalstOn, the cashier Of the Bank OF Caifor

Coast.n The John Kelley named for this position
is different man.
Mr. schel is quite earnest to accept the place
Mr. Kelley, and it becomes more and more apparent
that all
THE BIG MoNEYED INTERESTS
OF the country are learning to consider these con-
ventiOns as In some manner related to their bus
ness regimen. The Vanderbilt interest seems to be
here for Mr.. Greeley. Mr.. Milton H. Northrup,
editor OF the Syracuse Courier, has drawn up q res
oiuton thanking Mr.. Belmont for his twelve years
of sagacity, discretion and fidelity to the in
terests of the democratic party, and nobody
seems disposed to make objection. 1t was
known IN Baltimore on Monday night that
BELMONT
would make speech voluntarily withdrawing from
the charmanshp and giving his hearty featy TO
the Greeley movement. His friends say that no
man has been worse misrepresented and that Mr.
Greeley has one Of his earliest champions and sup
porters In Mr.. Belmont 1t is not the Greeley ques-
tion apparently, which works to Mr.. Belmont's
prejudice, but old scores of no account. If he
chose to make an energetic canvass he could hold
