DENTS.
TWENTY-FIVE cars filed with enthusiastic del

in the $50 train AS early $50 pm. the depot was
thronged with passengers and spectators, who waited
patiently for the departure OF the rin and discussed
in groups the probable action OF the Convention in max
ing Greeley and Brown its nominees. The prevailing
sentment seemed be that the Convention should not
only ndorse the action of the Cincinnati Convention.
but also frame a separate platform in accordance
with the views expressed at the neutrality-suspicious. Con-

TRIBUNE reporter:
has become customary for certain petsous, when
they find their personal wishes dsregarded by the diff
ferent delegations and conventions which select the
candidates Of per choice, to charge that such actions
are duy Influenced by outside pressure, and that the
delegations had merely "sod out" The Democratic
newspapers which from inability to form sentiment
have adopted this course entirely msapprehend or dis
tort the facts. To imagine that the almost unanimous
sentiment Of Democracy expressed in every portion
Of country ia not sincere sentiment Is 10 Insult
honest men everywhere who are determined not TO
sacrifice their conscientious convictions. II Is pre-
cisey because they do not belong to the class
which clamored for place and nominated Grant at Phlla-
dephia that the efforts Of these Bourbon Democrats
and editors have failed. Mr. Greeley has made no
promises in order to his nomination at Baltimore,
before or since the Cincinnati Convention but has been
remarkably reticent. At the Convention which elected
onr delegation there was no effort made influence in
diydua sentiment TO force candidate upon us but
we discovered when called upon to express our views
that we all entertained the options and recognz
ing the fact that the issues OF to-day ere vital, and
entirely different from tho of the past, saw at
once the need Of new candidate WHO should fifty repre-
respect TO these vital questions We deemed MT
Greeley the exponent Of these views That he had
differed with in the past Issues that could not posi-
bly, enter into the present campaign seemed 10 us no re
son why we should discard him now more especially as
he exactly represents the questions OF to-day We
might as well discard a candidate on account Of his
views OF the Darwnan theory, his belief in regard TO
pork and beans articles OF Digestion to regard him
unavailable because 10 years ago he was opposed TO
system of bondage which the Constitution to-day pro-
hbits within our borders"
Other persons expressed substantially the views,
and believed that MIR. Greeley represented them in
cry particular.
