Grceiey campaign elub was organized. Coun.
sclor Chas. \. Lane acting as Chairman.
The feeling among the Democracy was out
spoken. They fairly cioried in the nominal
tinn. MANY well.known ward leaders ex-
pressed their intention of sending delegates to
the Democratic State Convention instructed
to vote only for national delegates pledged to
sustain Or. Grcelevs nomination. All refer
red to Mr.. Greelcys undoubted honesty. "iie
won't steal. and that is enough for m -
shouted an cx-Sta.c Senator, land he's the
only man that has been nominated for years
10y either party who can't be induced to steal. !"
This was the general sentiment.
The proceedings and result elected no
less cxcitemant at Washington. The tcle.
egraph conveyed the intelligence to the
reporters gallery in the House, which was
connected directly with the Convention
hall, and the result of each successive vote
was written on slips of paper and dropped
from the gallery to the floor, where dozens
of eager members gathered the billets aud
conveyed the news to every part of the
chamber. As the balloting proceeded the
interest increased until it almost became
impossible to transact any business. The
result surprised everybody, and created
considerable disappointment among the
friends of Trumbull and Davis. The
Democratic Congressman decided to ex-
press no approval of the Cincinnati ticket,
but await until the voice of the whole par
ty should be heard in the National Demo-
cratic Convention, aud whether the Con-
veution should be for or against it, every
member should be bound by the decision.
Every Democratic representative from the
South privately approves the Cincinnati
ticket, but they concur in the policy Of
awaiting the action of the National Con-
vention.

u The Courier snecrs at us for having
once belonged to the Methodist Church,
while sanctimonious article in the same

total failure. There viii be no arbitration
