The Convention was to meet at ten O'Clock, but
the delegates did not come to time. good many
were caucusing over the ticket especially the city
men, who were alarmed by the evident signs OF
instruction against the arrangements of the Con-
ference Committee. The business had been inju-
dciously contrived but 1t was too evident that the
little knot of socaled reformers had Outwitted the
democrats. The President OF the Reform Conven-
ton, who had proclaimed the dissolution OF the
democratic party, and who is supposed to be a
Grant man. was placed at the head Of the ticket.
As there were several democratic Bourbons who
wanted this nomination and who were therefore
very hostile to the Warmoth alliance, the commit
tees choice had the effect of arousing general
disgust
GREELY's FRIENDS PPPREHENsIvE
The Greeley men saw In 1t a scheme to throw the
State for Grant. The last ditchres thought that the
dignity of the party had been sacrificed by making
such concession to small circle of office hunting
reformers, and the Warmoth coalitonists were OPP
posed to 1t on general principles. The latter were
the only persons really pleased with the support,
because they soon discovered that 1t was calcu-
lated to forward their views. Consequently when
the Convention met this morning, there was
general opinion that the report would be beaten.
The early hours OF the session were taken up with
oratorical eocutions for and against the nomination.
CONDENSATION OF NEGRO RULE.
Reeves, OF Texas, made a speech, In which he
drew fearful picture OF the condition of affairs in
his parish under negro rule. He was followed by
Judge Eagan, who favored the ticket endorsement
on the grounds OF honesty, capacity and avail
ability. Mccall followed on the same side. The
previous question was now called and amid intense
excitement the ballot proceeded; it resulted in
defeat Of the Conference report by vote OF lat to
126.

majority. The Convention now fairly boiled over
with rage and excitement. Excited speakers pro-
tested against killing the democratic party; mo-

tattoo. When affairs Gained down better feeling
prevailed. general expression OF feeling was in

bitter feeling had been raised in the present Conven
