| WASHINGTON, Nav 2S.-A positive dec
lAration Of the position Of Hon. Geo. b. Pen
dleton, has been received here by mem
Der Of the Illinois Democratic delegation,
and it can be stated that he uuequivocAlly
advocates the acceptance of Mr.. Greeley BY
the Democratic Convention. Mr.. Pendleton
considers that the Democratic party has
been placed in g position, by 9 tsoit adhe-
sion to Ihe Cincinnati convention, whereby
all chance of electing g Democratic ticket
has been destroyed. he therefore fsvors
the acceptance OF Greeley, and says that
between Grant and Greeley there can be no
hesitation as to the duty of Democrats. In
considering the objections raised to Greeley,
AZ 10 his past record, he argues that the,
are ridiculous, and be q uestions whether tbs
same objections will not apply TO all the
radicals named in Cincinnati. 1t is not the
| past which is to be taken into account, but
the future conduct of the candidate designa-
ted 10 represent the liberal movement. If an
unobjectiOuable record Is desired, a straight
out Democrat should have been advocated
from the beginning but he says it is not
consistent to indorse one radical and refuse
to support another. The opposition 10
Greeley is placed, be says. in two classes :;
|
political sSgaeity, so that there is no chance
Tor q Democrat and second, those who se-
creiiJ desire the reelection of GrAut. The
feeling OF the times, adds Mr.. Pandleton.
should be above personality, and all should
strive to secure good and efficient govern
ment.
