the following additional particulars:
Senator Trumbull delivered short address,
In which he said: ITO the questions that come
uppermost among us, there Is only one which
occurs to me as reasonable or possible. How
are we to defeat Grant? By supporting Gree
ley. Carl Schurz said respecting the Cincin-
natl nominees, perhaps better tlcke. could
have been devised, and perhaps not; but
Greeley Is now before the people, and his
name cannot be withdrawn; Overwhelming
waves of opinion are rising IN his favor, and
1t would be an idiotic attempt at this iuncturee
to stay It's progress" The senators expressed
the opinion that If Mr.. Greeley were elected. as
he would be by an overwhelming vote he would
select from all parties such q Cabinet and
draw around him such men as The nation
could place entire confidence In. The World
