who has brought his worse than militarv
habits of thought and action to the admin
istratiOn of civil affairs. With Grantism
broken we know no worse car come, and
believe better can be had That we shall
obtain at Baltimore all We deem desirable
does not seem probable; unless some unex-
pected reaction occurs the action of the

tiOn assured; defeated there. his chances
are unworthy of attention. Itis well known
1 that my Judgment has been against the in
dOrsement OF the Cincinnati ticket"
The Governor proceeded to state the pur-
pose of the recent Fifth avenue conference.
| He claimed that this conference was not
tiascO, but a success, because it cOncentra-
ted reliable information as to the weakness
or strength of the Cincinnati ticket in
nearly every State, and gave basis for the
decision that no ticket could be now named
with political advantage
II think more suitable nomination and
more acceptable candidate to the great
body of Democratic voters could have been
found. know that we shall be charged
with placing our lifelong opponent at the
| head of our column in a day of almost as
sured victory. This is true, but it is also
slgnally true that Greeley will only take
| the leadership of the party Ii at elects him
| after he has pronounced himself fully in
favor of such Old-fashiOned Democratic
principles as hostility to Capitalization, or
position to federal interference in State ard
| local affairs, condemnation of the suspen-
sion OF the writ Of habeas corpus, full sup
port OF amnesty, rigid adherence to civil
| service reform, opposition to bayonet cleo
tiOn laws, and the like. Now, If Greeley
can accommodate himself to such uncom-
| promising Democratic views as these we
can accept his conversion, even il il be q
trihe sudden and unexpected"
| In conclusion, the Governor said that thew
| had to contemplate the almost certain in
| dOrsFment of. Greeley at Baltimore, and
| with it the assured defeat of Grantism a
| great victory of itself; because, if Greeley
! had no lOftier views, no greater intelligence
than Grant he would be pOwerless, where
| Grants power is almost without limit.
| Greeley would be the occupant of high
| office, but his power TO abuse il would be
| jealOusly guarded by both friends and foes.
| His might be the place, but the power, with
Grant defeated, will be delegated to the
people and their representatives.

assembled in Georgia. The Hon. Albert
Lanier, of MuscOgee, was elected president
The action of the convention was entirely
harmonious, and the resolutions are that
the Democratic party of Georgia stand
upon the principles of the Democratic party
of the Union, bringing into special prOmi-
nence, as applicable TO the present extraor-

changeable doctrine that this Union of
States and that the indestructibility of
their equality with each other is an indis-
pensable part of our political system.
Res9tCed, That in the approaching cleo
tion the Democratic party invites every
body to cooperate with them in a Jealous
determination to change the present usurp-

and for the welfare Of the country.
