Charles O'COnor, interviewed yester-
day, refused to state whether or not he
would accept the nomination of the
Louisville Convention, if rendered, but
said he should vote for its nominees.
He said of the present status of the po-
litical parties: at is curious how little
pretense even there is to sharing any
principles on either side. But, then, l
can't very seriously blame them. No
great questions are uppermost now to
excite enthusiasm on the spirit of sacri-
flee. The country is in q prosperous
condition, teeming with plenty, and
there is no cause for any kind of appre-
hension. So far as Grant and Greeley
are concerned, 1 do not see what they
can fight for except the possession of the
Office. But why the Democratic party
should interest itself in Mr.. Greeley's
fortune, is what / never could compre-
hendys especially when one remembers
that Greeley would never say he would
run if he was not indorsed at Baltimore.
1t was a devilish thing to think of his
getting Democratic nomination and,
under the circumstances, would not say
he would not run without the Baltimore
nomination"
