Do SElil an opportunity 10 save Lle party ny
the nomination Of an acceptable Presiden-
tial candidate, one who would obey the
laws-aud respect the peoples will; but it is
now evident that it was hoping against
hope; that this was not meeting for de-
liberation as to the interests of the Repub-
hcan party or of the country, but meeting
to obey the e8acting demands Of arrogant
power. Neither the adnonitious of Gin
cinnati nor of Mr.. Sumner are needed, and
it is resolved to destroy the organization to
crafty mere personal government. there
fore withdraw from the delegation and give
you this timely notice to fiji my place. I
shall then be free to give my earnest sup
port to Horace Gre5ldy.
HConsiderable surprise was awakened this
afternoon by the withdrawal of Gov. Pier
pont from the delegation Of West Virginia.
Some Disappointment
is prevalent Gthcng The delegates tonight at
the little real work done in the ccnysntiOn
at the session to-day. 1t was expected that
Grants nomination would be made at least
so that tomorrow would enable the con-
vent'on to adjourn. The utmost enthusl-
asm is manifested tonight aud everywhere
the people are discussing the Vice Pfesi-
dency. 1t is now considered as certain that
COIfax Is DOOmcd
to defeat, Wilson, of Massach Isetts, has
been eainiDs rauidly in strength all day
and now his friends say lie viii he nOrni
mated on the second ballot. They are very
iubilant tonight and are trying to make
break in the Indiana delegation. Gov.
HAYES, of Ohio, is doing what lie can for
Wilson. Gov. Noyes is indefadigable in his
Efforts to further Wilson'S rrosDects.
The Platform
to be adopted by the Convention is exciting
but little interest. The Committee on
Resolutions have had submitted to them
two or three drafts for platform and agreed
upon one of them tonight. The resolu-
tions which In great part will be adopted
rehears6 TIE achievements OF the Adminis-
tration, declare for the PerP5tu,t2 Of the
Federal Government and Constitution, de-
mands the cultivation and education of the
negroes, devOtes paragraph to the consld-
Grafton of the labor question, another to a
declaration in favor Of the protection OF
American industry, also ATROCITIES the en-
| coura-ement of our foreign commerce and
the honest payment Of the debts, the pro-
lection of American citizens abroad, the
! forgiveness of persons who served in the
! Rebel service, reform of the civil service,
reward for our soldiers, and reathrmation
| of he principles of the Declaration OF In
/ depenc5.
a resolution viii, it is thotigEtt, be incor-
porated in the platform, endorsing the
| course pursued by the administration on
the question of indirect damages. An ad-
! miufstration Senator who arrived tonight
| says
The PresidentIs Exceedingly DESTROYS
! that such a resolution should be adopted
that it will have the effect to moderate the
sentiment of EuglaLd, and directly aid II
compelling the British Cabinet TO accept
the supplemental treaty. The question OF
free trade will doubtless be a matter OF
some discussion in the Convention.
st the opening of the convention it was
| expected the business WoJld be proceeded
with without interruption or delay. The
speeches Of the gentlemen who were called
out, however, consumed nearly three hours
The novelty of three colored men speaking
in the convention sUcc5ssiye.y, was rather
spectacle to the delegates as remarkable a:
it was unprecedented. Their speeche:
were well received and that of Gray creates
almost q perfect STORM of applause.
The voice of temporary chairman Nc
Michael was scarcely able to Penetrat
every part of the building. he was inter
rupted by cries Of louder. When be eulo
gized Grant and asserted that he was i'm
measurably superior to any Of his de
fay1ers, the delegates and audience CAV
their assent by more tJtmultUous applause
the ladies' in the galleries waving thei
handkerchiefs, those Of sterner sex shOu
ing at the top Of their voices and flourish
ING their hats. This la-ted several mil
utes, There was arenewed cheering wbe
the speaker predicted the election OF Ger
Grant as certain.
RumOred Withdrawal of COlfaX.
1t is rumcred in some quarters and bt
lieved this evening that CCifaS has write
a letter, which is in possession Of one
the delegates, with instructions in the ever
of certain contingencies to withdraw b
: name.
The Committee on Platform were
session until long after midnight. The
! deliberations have been ket a profound s
cret. They are to report to the gener
committee at 9 o'clock to morrow mOrnin!
