Grant Postmaster, in the gallery, an
swered "No," and the nomination wa
declared unanimous.
Old.Fashioned Enthusiasm. .
Then the storm, the preludes of which
only we had experienced, burst in force
and for the space Of five minutes
scene OF wild enthusiasm, such as ha
been rarely witnessed on the continent
was presented. First a cheer wen
from the parquette, to be caught up ant
repeated by balcony and gallery. Flag
and streamers, hitherto invisible, leapet
from everv circle, and myriads OF white
handkerchiefs, in the hands OF fail
ladies, fluttered out like flock of white
doves Of peace, and hid from view the
mass Of enthusiastic humanity behind
Business was, per force, suspended fol
five minutes, and everybody yielded tc
the noisy enthusiasm OF the hour
When the first storm had subsided the
President called to order and made an
effort to proceed with business, but only
again to be Interrupted. The signal fol
the second outburet was the simultsne-
ous appearance in the gallery OF large
banner bearing the names OF Greeley
and Brown and a huge picture OF the
White House in the rear OF the stage,
Then the Convention went wild.
At this iuucture the bands struck up
" Rally Round the Flag. Boys, and
followed it with Hail to the Chief,
which added to the enthusiasm, and
gave fresh impetus to the noisy. ap-
plause, and it continued for some time,
in spite of the earnest efforts OF the
President to secure order. A ripple OF
applause would start in New York, be
caught up by Ohio, re-echoed on by
South Carolina, reinforced from lndi-
ana, and finally taken up in a grand
chorus BY all the States and Territories
save the township of Bayard and
whose puny force sat sullen
and silent. After Greeley nomination
the interest tagged.
Gratz Brown WAS Nominated
bv a Convention Of partially empty
benches. His nomination was greeted
with enthusiasm in proportion to the
members present, the West and South
being the most demonstrstive, ss usual.
The winding up business was then
transacted by the usual small portion OF
party managers, and the Convention
adjourned sine de.
The Duncau-vau.AIlen Party
met to day, and went through the farce
OF appointing committees tor States and
issuing a call tor a Convention at Louis
vile, September 3. They were put to
il to find enough men in the different
States to make committee men, and the
probability is that their call Tor Con
vention win not be heard or responded
to until after II. G. is elected.
MOsby Gives IL UP.

Mosby, to night, and even he does not
take stock in the Duncan movement
He seems to be a pretty good sort OF a
country shyster, but cannot class him
as au intellectual, or even man OF
ordinary ability. He gives it up that
Greeley will sweep the South, and that
his, aud others Of his like opposition,
will no more check the Greeley tide
than do the pebbles on the shore Of the
Atlantic Ocean.
A Great Ratification Meeting
in Monument square, tonight, was ad-
dressed by distinguished speakers from
all parts of the country. Fully fifteen
thousand people were present, and the
enthusiasm was unbouuded. The only
speakers from Ohio were S. F. Cary
and J. L Vallandigham. Mr.. Cary 8
speech created great deal of entnusi-
asm.
Mr.. Vallandigham said: Fellow cit

lar feeling which is hearing honest

Just as Mr.. Valandigham finished
his sentence, the rain commenced pour
ing down, and he proposed three cheers
tor Horace Greeley and subsided. A

the CITY to night, all Of which were
