vlRGINlANS AT THE CONVENTION.
The following are items OF news and opinion
"The large steamboat the Ironsdcs, will come
bringing nine Greeley and Brown Clubs, with at
| least four hundred men uniformed in Greeley hats
and coats, and two bands OF music. On the 9th Of
July they will parade through the streets"
| THE NO NOMINATION POLICY
sour reporter made u canvass among leading
| Maryland politicians yesterday to ask what
thought OF the policy just announced from Missouri
OF making no nominations at all In Baltimore but
merely recommending Greeley and Brown. MIR.
Swami, particularly, objected to any such negative
course and said that recommendation might be
| of service, but 1t would speak with less certain
sOnnd than formal adoption. 1t will be
said,' exclaimed Mr.. Swami, that, as We did not
can make what they call u democratic nomination,
insisting upon the right to put some form of demo.
cratic ticket in the field. Ii we do n0m1nate what
is osts Sanction OF the party Is given In the most
authorized form to the status OF AFFAIRS as at pres
ent, and the country is assured that the democratic
| party has fully accomplished all new departures
| which have the sanction OF the constitution and
are required for the good of the country / do not
| understand what that means IN the telegraph de-
spatch from Missouri stating that 1t was the unanl-
nous expression of Il number o. the leading dele
adhere to the denomination policy. What
does the unanimous expression of an uncertain
number mean by telegraph That despatch looks
| to me as II the operator had more interest in 1t
! than the Missouri delegation. SO far as we know
here no democrat of approved standing and COM
mon sense is afraid of Greeley and Brown, and the
| frankest way Is to say so, right OUT"
THE BALTIMORE No-PARTY PAPER ON THINGS.
! The Baltimore Sun, which has more inlucnce III
the state than the combined circuations of all the
other papers, city and country, took up It's wnoe
leader space the other day with an article headed,
spects to the ttle knot of exclusive free traders"
who say that they can, under no circumstances, vote
for candidate of protectonist prOcivites, and to
those democrats who think they are par er-
Cele,lCe such, and who want their hands TO wltller
and their tongues to ceave to the roof of their
mouths' before, by vote voice, they support the

In the possibility OF reform which Is not under

1T is hard to say" says the sun, (which class o.

needs OF the country, or the plain duty OF citizen"
The Sun alleges that the Southern people care
little about the Charge of political Inconsistency
when such results as are depicted in the article are

political traditions and associations almost equally
Indifferent to them"
The article then says that 'most of the talk about
the consistency OF the democratic party in adopting
Greeley and Brown has been confined to rcpub IL
can journals and speakers who support the presen
administration and that these have betrayed de-
cidedly more solicltude that the integrity of the
democratic party should be preserved and that it
tions than has been manifested by any OF the lead
