The New York herald., 1872-07-11


When asked in the morning IN regard TO the party
concisely enough, that he was the only per.
son in the party.,so far. During the ride
two S otSers-Mr. Angel above above referred % to, and
q HERALD reporter. Each in turn beguiled the
time by "reminiscences and anecdote. The Cover.
query, as to how he or Mr.. Angel ever graduated,
the story OF California Senator, who, when he
took his seat In the Senate Chamber, and found at
every gesture page at his elbow Offering him
everything from bedstead to bandbOx, won
dered how he himself ever got there. But when
the Senator had been in Congress three months he
not only marvelled at his own good fortune, but
wondered how the other fellows ever got there.
THE GREAT QUESTION.
Speaking Of the adoption by the Convention at
Baltimore OF the Cincinnati platform, Governor
Brown said That is the greatest stride ever yer
adoption of the constitution. We thought 1t was
great step in Missouri when that State by a popu-
serve as jurors to the c0l0red race, but for the
democracy to move en- yrdsse to the position they
that step win l insure the domination Of the new
party In the republic for the next twenty years.
The HERALD reporter suggested that statements
had been made to the effect that the rural repub-
licans were almost to unit in favor Of GRANTS re.
election, and added that as the Governor had OF
late travelled extensively in the West he might be
able to refute or confirm the statement.
THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANIsA IN THE WEST
Governor BRowN..There is q a. great nndertow IN IN

ministratiOn. The magnitude OF this element ts
Candidly speaking, do not believe that President

Governor Brown authorized the HERALD reporter
to deny that Mr.. GrosvenOr In the Baltimore Con-
vention represented him or spoke his sentiments.
The Impression stated In yesterdays HERALD as
having gained some credence in and about the Con-
ventlon, that the Governor was opposed to the
Convention OF the candidates, is a false one. He
has been strongly in favor OF the convention
making the nomination from the first.
AT NEW HAVEN.
Arriving at New Haven the Governor, with great
sOlicitude, walked to the baggage car to see his
trunk safely landed. The trunk has history. He
bought 1t IN Boston when he first went to Yale,
where he graduated in 1S47. Twice has he carried
1t with him over the plains for prOtracted sOOurn
among the Camanches and in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains. In the cover lies his portfolio,
the same he used at school and on which he has
feeling in his voice as he laughingly said that he
was about to leave the trunk at the hotel In New
thought he would take it on Just to have It go
back as he went back He had had 1t so
long that there was kind OF sympathy between 1t
hotel, which was greatly crowded and profusey
plastered with placards announcing business meet
ings Of various classes. Conspicuous among the
notices are those Of the class OF '47 1872 and '66.
GRATZ AMONG HIS OLD FRIENDS
Many gentlemen called to see the candidate TOT
the Vice Presidency during the afternoon, pr0mi-
nent among them being the College professors OF
the old time and the members OF his class gathered
W
house of a friend, and the callers, after waiting
about for a short time, disappeared one by one.
There appears to be little enthusiasm here and no
political discussion.

NEW HAVEN, July Ill A. NJ.
When the news of his nomination 'had been for
came to light standing in the door of book store in
Chapel street. He talking to an old friend and
classmate and extended his hand to the HERALD re-
porter to accept his congratulations. Although dur
ing the entire day he had exhibited little or no ex
hilaration of feeling, he seemed now to be particu-
larly reserved, and wore look that can be
described only as ntrospective. At the simple act
of courtesy he smiled and shook hands cordially;
the fact is he has not been received with the
enthusiasm one would anticipate in this city.
There has been no popular demonstration and
very little said indicating interest in the approach
ing campaign, 1t seems the people here consider
the commencement exercises the only thing worth
mentioning, as the people of the Hub believed the
Peace Jubilee the only event of Importance trans
piring at that time in the world.
