These were the sentiments of a majority of
the members of the Convention, but large
minority wanted, and justly, too, such resolu.
tions as would correspond with their votes,
when those votes should be cast. Neither the
majority nor the minority however, could pre-
vail, and in the turmoil that the contest created
no platform was erected. The "bloody chasm''
was not bridged, and the blind must lead the
blind into the famous last ditch.
1nasmuch as the Convention was too dis
cordant to build platform it was decided not
to publish this part of the transactions. So
our reporter stated last week. But the
DeldWarean, on Saturday, gave the resolutions
in full; the only paper that did so. The
substance of the resolutions had already been
given In the report Of the daily papers, how
ever, and inasmuch as they could not be with.

them in substance
Although the resolutions above published
were not endorsed, they are plainly the sonti
ments of the ruling faction of the party in this
State, and of the masses of the party in the
other States, North and South The rank a,,I
file OF the party who go for Greeley do so in
order to defeat Republican legislation and re-
store the past in as far as they can. In this
State, where the party is so Bourbonish and so
hard to wield towards progressive channel. a

They pretend to accept Greeley, to be in
harmony with the party, but repuliate the plat
form on which he stands 1t will be seen that
this resolution is carefully worded. 1t does not
accept Greeley and Brown in so many words of
positive affirmation, but beats around the bush
by only Implying an acceptance. The whole
thing is a hollow sham.
The party has become fearfully demoralized.
1t is compelled to vote for man il d;spises
and In trying to make virtue of necessity
1t is only putting stumbling blocks in its own
pathway. 1t cannot comprehend the "logic of
events that has been forced upon it by the
party of great moral IDEAS" nor can tt
resist the onward march of that party By turn

covery that the body OF Frank Mosely,
brakeman who was fatally injured
by falling from . train on the 23tn of

taken from it, grave. Suspicion im
msdistsiy turned toward the Medical
Department Of the State University /;
and parties from Wilton, armed with
. search warrant, found the body, al
ready considerably mutilated, in the
dissecting room Of that institution.
The Department pays $50 for each
body delivered for dissection. and its
officers are probably honest In claim

this one, supposing 1t TO have come
from some large city but more than
this will hereafter be necessary for the

must know their subjects are lepiti-
