4 NC lbeOAUAADAe were bASA 4AtAttAPAoAy
adopted.
Mr.. VI, M. P0merOy having been called
upon for a speech, addressed the assembly,
say ing that this was the time for work, and
not for talk He did not believe in the cry
Of choosing between two Republican evils.
He did not want to have the devil, Greeley,
whose life was tainted with treason, and
who was opposed to the rights Of the States
and the rights Of the people. Greeley never
can be President. The true Democrats will
moi support him, while as to others, deficient
in principle, known by that name, the gold
and silver of Grant Is more potent than the
turnips and eabbages Of the farmer OF
Chappaqua.
A committee was appointed on perma-
nent organization.
George Bates, OF Pennsylvania, said he
had left his profitable business Of butcher
ing to come here in behalf Of the Democra-
cy, and he then spoke against that party
attaching itself to the tail end of the Re
publican party.
The convention then adjourned til to-
morrow at noon.
