MOZART HALL, CINCINEATI, May ,
To the Committee on Credentials;
We, the undersigned, members from
New York of the Convention of Liberal
Republicans who are opposed to the
nomination of Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent, respectfully protest against the
manner in which the representative
delegates have been chosen by the
/ whole body of members of the State of
New York, andsagainst their recognition
I by the convention as the proper delega-
I ton from this State. A committee was
appointed by the whole body Of MEM
/ bers of one from each judicial district,
making a committee of eight, and in
structed to report the names Of sixty
I eight representative delegates, said dele
/ gates to be nominated by the delegates
! present from the several districts. From
/ this committee every person sharing this
: view concerning the nomination of
Greeley was excluded, although in the
First Judicial District alone we numbered
/ twenty persons, the delegates then from
the entire State numbering but eighty
four. We further state that in the First
Congressional District Edward H.
Seaman was nominated by thedelegation
present from that district, as one of the
representative delegates, and after it was
ascertained that Mr.. Seaman was Op-
posed to the nomination of Mr.. Greeley,
another person, known as A" Rockyb
Moore, was substituted for him by the
committee. We further state that the
delegates present from the Eighth Con-
gTessional District met, as directed by
the Chair, and nominated, by
vote of eight out of thirteen dele
gates, then and there present, James
/. Bishop and Thomas Duffy as
their representative delegates, and
that this choice was duly reported to
and disregarded by said committee and
by the whole number of members in its
election, and that the representative
delegates reported by the committee and
elected by the whole body from this dis
trict, were never nominated at any
meeting of any resident delegates there /
of as required by the heinstructiOns of the /
convention and % the resolution Of our 4
members. We further state that in the
Twenty-seventh Congressional District 4
the one delegate present recommended /
himself and this Mr.. Bacon as the rep
resentatiye delegates; that upon asceT-
tanning that Mr.. Bacon was opposed 10 /
the nomination of Greeley, the commit
ent of the Twenty-seventh Congressional 4
District Of a persen known to concur in
the views of the majority we further
state that no persons were present as
of the convention from several
districts, and in the cleo
ton of representative delegates to fill /
these vacancies all persons understood |
to be opposed to determination Of Gree /
ley were studiOusly ignored. We fur |
ther state that at meeting Of the whole /
body of members a motion was put and /
carried instTucting the entire representa- |
tive delegation to cast their vote solid |
for Greeley until twenty delegates re-
quest that they should retire for consul |
tatiOn, and even after that the vote of
the whole State was to be cast as the I
majority should direct disregarding en-
tirely the preferences of q particular /.
district, and that we protest against /.
tine vote of the State of New York be- |
ing received in that manner; and fur I
ther submit that the representative /
delegation as at present constituted does
not represent the mass delegation Of the 1
State. Signed, John Norton Pomeroy, /.
