The States of California, Delaware and Ore
gon were not represented. Those of Florida,
Maryland, Mississippi Minnesota. New Hamp-
shire, Texas, Vermont and West Virginia,
we're represented, but their representatives
failed to register themselves. Invitations had
been sent In some Instances TO parties IN
these States, but they had designated proxies
in this city to represent them, and these pro6-
les were refused admission.
Besides these we're a considerable number
from New York and other adjacent states,
whose names carry no particular significance,
but who constituted, as the debates went or,
a marked and not unln1uential clique for the
irreconcilables.
SENATOR TRUM8ULL'S SPEECH.
Alter an Informal talk to no particular ques-
tIon. and without definite purpose, Senator
Trumbull delivered careful speech, advocat-
ing the nominees of the Cincinnati ConVen-
lion, endorsing Greeley and Brown, amid
entSusiastic applause. Mr. Trumbulls speech
was spoken of by those who heard 1t as OF sin-
gular force, pungencyt and compactness.
It took emphatic ground for union on Gree
lev and Brown as the only possible means OF
defeating General Grant, and accomplishing e
the ends for which this conference was pro-
posed to be called, and reviewed at some
length the situation throughout the country,
as!showlng how any other nominations were
now an impossibility. With sententlous force
,ff LON fhna
question which comes uppermost among us
there Is only one answer which occurs 20 me
as reasonable or possible. How are we to de-
feat Grants By supporting Greeley "
CALL OF THE STATES AND THE RESPONSE.
Senator Schurz moved that the representa-
tiyes of the several States be heard in alpha
betical order OF States, which being carried,
Alabama was called.
The Hon. John Forsyth, editor of the Mobile
Register, responded In behalf of his State. ne
snoke In favor OF the Liberal movement, ,Whicn
found expression at Cincinnati, endorsed EN-.
phatlcaly Its ticket and platform, and pledged
Alabama for Greeley and Brown by large
majority. Mr.. Forsyth was not without some
bitterness In his forms Of expression, ana ne
allowed 1t to be clearly understood that Gree
lev and Brown were neither his first nor Dis
second choice; that he went for them not be-
cause he wanted them, but because 1t was Inc
only resort left him.
Ex-senator RICE followed as the representa-
tive of Arkansas, speaking In the same vein as
Mr.. Forsyth, endorsing the nominees at Cln'
ciunati, saying that Arkansas would vote lor

er English, ex-senator Lafayette ). roster,

and Foster spoke IN the same vein, adTocatlDe
the principles enuncated at. CINCINNATI, en-
dorsing Its nominees, and prophesying Lhe
easy success of the ticket In their State. Ine
Hon. David A. Wells, In brief and guarded
speech, said that he was determined under
aby circumstances not to support Grant, ano
Whether he supported Mr. Greeley or not de'
nended very materially as to whether, IN hls
oDiDion, MIR. Greeley was the most favorable
Candidate presented. Mr.. Clark, on the con

The Hon. 81. W. billiard spoke for Georgia
