THE JERSEY BOURBON DEMOCRACY.
Convention at Trenton Election of Delegates to
Louisville Charles O'Conor the Choice
Of the Delegates, with Hancock
for Vice President


The Jersey straight-Outs assembled in their
might at Trenton yesterday. One hundred dele
gates were present The Convention was called to
order by G. Chauncey Burr, and $. J. Bayard was
appointed Chairman.
Mr.. BAYARD was quickly at his post, and he
opened the proceedings by pouring hot shot into the
Greeley camp. He said such a large and respect
able gathering OF the democracy of New Jersey ought
to be gratifying to every patriot The meeting to-
day is q homage to principle. The democrats Of
New Jersey are not all prepared to become
Greeley republicans. They have not all bowed
the knee to Baal. We still cling to the old
affairs and to the old faith There Is a grand host,
not fully represented here to-day, who will DO
represented at Louisville, and they have some
belief In principle. They are not prepared to fol-
low republican leaders or march under republi-
can banner. They have faith in Jefferson, Madison
and Jackson, but none IN Horace Greeley. II gives
me great pleasure to assure you that have salts
factory information that air the States in the
Union will be represented at Louisville, and
that the democrats OF the United States
will there repudiate the bargain at Baltimore,
where republicans entered into compact for the
reelection Of General Grant 1t Is evident to all
that the reelection OF General Grant was to follow
the nomination Of Horace Greeley, and that Con-
vention had that end In view. read last cam
paign, that Seymour could not be elected and that
his being put up only to insure the election Of
General Grant. Horace Greeley will look pleased
in November over his own defeat, and will then be
able, with great glee, to tell what he knows about
electlng General Grant. At Louisville object will
be to try and escape that calamity. Every day is
beginning to be more plainly that the election
of Horace Greeley is an impossibility. How,
then, Will hope when this fact pcnetrates
the craniums OF the community; how, then, when
there Is hope for democrat, win they turn their
thoughts to Louisville Mr.. Greeley cannot fur
to do; therefore both parties should consider
that there are no binding obligations. The cleo
tons Of the 9Th Of October will demonstrate clearly
honest votes will arise and burst asunder the bonds
wherewith they have attempted to bind the Sam
nominated, or both OF them.
