Mr.. Moore, of New York, made a speech,
arguing that the labor reformers should
be represented on the ticket. Mr.. Train

planned that he had given Train ticket
and the affair was finally quoted down
but not before Mr.. Train had been forcibly
elected by the police.
Mr.. Train came to Louisville on the in
vitation Of Duncan, TO be present at the
convention. He represented four states
travelled at his own expense and will set
tie his own bills while in the city; which
can not be said of oil the delegates.
If the convention stood in fear Of Mr..
Train, what object could there have been
in extending to him an invitation to be
present His motives certainly do not
smack Of corruption hi. political views
are always candidly expressed, and If, on
that account, Mr.. Duncan saw 1T to expell
him from the deliberations OF the assem-
bled " Straights, " it speaks much in Mr..
Trains favor and volumes Of differences
against the claim set up by the
convention of honesty and patriotism.
When violent hands were laid upon
Mr. Train it was feared by many that he
would resent by the use OF weapons.
However, IL was soon ascertained that he
had not used a pistol since leaving the
commune in France "A fact that may have
been known and taken advantage of by his
assailants in their parliamentary proceed
ures against him. As it was, Train mani
Tested rare degree of calculative cool
ness in the treatment received from their
hands, for il is well-known that he is an
expert boxer, and anything else but a
coward.
The occurrence created an extended ex-
element and was the theme of general
conversation in the offices and on the
people called upon Mr.. Train after the
event, and among them many Of our best
citizens, who deeply felt tho disgrace
brought upon our city by the actions Of
this convention Of disorganizers and Grant
democrats.
Mr.. Fisk Conrad, of Pennsylvania, felt
Q patriotic ardor, which wanted to be let of
by means Of orstory. He attempted to
speak several times, but was choked down
by the chairman-for what reason We were
unable to see, at the time, though later
disclosures show the object very plainly.
At length, after number of Intellectual
attempts 10 get a hearing, the chairman
had him put out Of tho room. Mr.. Con-
rad is indignant, ann denounces the &C.
tion of the chairman and the silence of
the body which permitted it. He says his
object was TO expose the treachery Of the
Camero on Hartran.t thieves of his own
state. The Pennsylvania delegation was
composed Of all Grant men excepting him.
self, not one Of whom ever intended to
vote for the nominee Of this convention.
Their transportation to this convention
was obtained and paid for by the Grant
people. His own and those of FIVE others,
each representing q district IN Pennsyl-
vania, he procured in the Office of the
Grant state central committee of Pennsyl-
vsnia, at Philadelphia, corner Of Eighth
and Walnut streets, over well-known
tailoring establishment. For this trans
portation he had an order from Sipes,
chairman Of the Bourbon state central
committee of Pennsylvania. That order
was obeyed by the state treasurer of
Pennsylvania, Bob Mackey, who is we'll
known as one Of Cameron's subjects.
The band Of music that accompanied the
delegation was furnished and paid for by
the same Grant people, and his little ban
ner that was carried by George Mountioy
10 the same that designated the seats in
the radical convention of the 9Th of June,
Of the Pennsylvania delegation that nomi-
mated U. s. Grant, and which was presided
over by Thomas Settle, the rebel Of North
Carolina. This 10 the sum and substance
of what Mr.. Conard intended to say had
the president allowed him to proceed, and
he assures all his democratic friends that
what he states here are facts, all Of which
he is prepared 10 prove.
The disclosures are corroborsted by
other circumstances. We mentioned
yesterday that many Of the Pennsylvania
delegation were members Of the Loyal
League. A party made up Of such dele
gates should be:very careful how it throws
stones at one Of its number.
Judge Wood ward, of Pennsy lvania, was
in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday
with his family. The Duncanites OBJ
served his presence, and eager TO seize
upon any man Of national reputation to
give weight TO their convention, started the
report that he was in attendance upon the
convention. OF course the reporters were
fooled, and the Judge was duly announced
as. a Bourbon. 1t was . grave mistake.
Judge Woodward is q warm Greeley man,
and ieels hurt ut being clsssed among the
indirect GRANTEES. He says his name
was never before brought into so dis
graceful connection. He utterly repudi-
ates all sympathy with the Duncan con-
vention, and will stand by the Baltimore
nominees. Judge Woodward and his
family have been spending some weeks in
Central Kentucky, and came down to at
tend the opening of the Exposition. He
considers 1t q personal calamity that the
Duncan convention met on the same day,
as it has subjected him to such gross mis-
representation.
When the chairman of the convention,
in his duty, as he said, to that body, read
OConor's dispatch refusing the nomina-
ton, the space back Of the delegations
came down in hearty applause. 1t was
an indignity that under the circumstances
could not be borne, and gentleman in
the Ohio reservation sprang to his feet and
vehemently demanded that all the space
should be cleared. A round of Kisses
greeted the excited individual from all
parts of the house, and when quiet was
restored the chairman said somat hino IN
