Greeley Day. The seeming lull in the
movement in his favor was broken in upon
in various States by the most stirring
events. The striking feature of the day
was the unauimity with which Democrats
and Liberal Republicans agreed, not only
upon common plans of action, but conf
mon candidates. The future is full Of
hope and full of promise.
The following is the record of the days
doings: In Massachusetts the Conventions
of the two parties met in Worcester, er-
dorsed the Observation-Disclosures Platform,
and united in nominating ticket for State
officers, at the head Of which stands Sena-
tor Charles Sumner.
| Massachusetts Democrats could give no
| stronger proof of desire to let the dead
past bury its dead, than in giving in their
| adhesion to the nomination Of Charles
| Sumner. 1t may not, indeed, be possible
to carry Massachusetts for MI. Greeley,
but when two Conventions meet in that
State, one Republican Convention, pre-
sided over by n. P. Banks, and the other
nominate Charles Sumner for Governor
against the Radical Grant candidate, it
gives undeniable evidence of great up
heaval in political affairs.
Connecticut the two parties assembled
| in Joint Con Vention i'll Hartford, to nOmi-
nate an Electoral ticket. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed in that State also.
The electoral ticket, composed of Demo
Gratis and Liberal Republicans, is an ex-
ceedingly able one, and will sweep the
State in November beyond any question.
Indeed, it will require the grOssest mis-
management on the part of our friends
there to lose the State after their prudent
action and excellent nominations of last
week.
! In New Hampshire the Democrats and
! Liberals held their Conventions in Con-
cord, in adjoining halls. The Electoral
| Ticket agreed upon by the Conventions is
| conceded to be a very strong one, and
will carry the State if our friends will
make proper exertions. In the afternoon,
! by invitation, the Democrats visited the
1
| enthusiastically received.
In Kansas the Conventions of the two
parties met in Topeka, and agreed upon
a platform and division of offices between
the two parties.
In New Jersey the Conventions met in
| Trenton, and nominated a joint Electoral
| Ticket amid great enthusiasm. General
George B. Mcclellan is ole Of the candi-
dates for Elector for the State at large.
In Maryland the Democratic Convention
nominated for Greeley Electors, for the
State at large, Democrat and Liberal
Republican.
! In Michigan, on tue same day, in the
Ninth Congressional District, join t Con-
vention was held, and a strong Greeley
nomination made.
In Pennsylvania the action of the Liberal
Republican State Executive Committee, on
the same day, was equally significant, i'll
Nominating Ex-Governor Curtin as a dele
gate for the State at large to the Constitu-
tional Convention to meet i'll that State.
Governor Curtin has accepted the nomina-
ton, and the weight of his great influence,
thrown in the scale just at this critical
time, will decide the contest against the
Administration beyond the possibility of a
doubt. 1t will be remembered that Gov
ernor Curtin has just returned from
Russia, where he has been representing
the United States Governments as its En-
bassador. All parties have been anxiously
| awaiting bis return and seeking to obtain
the advantage of his great influence and
! popularity. He has at last avowed him
self, and Pennsylvania is sure to 60 against
the Administration, both in October and
November.
On the same day Senator Schurz
addressed monster meeting of Germans
in Cincinnati in their native language
Thousands of other citizens were as
sembled around the English stands,
where addresses were delivered.
On the same day Gratz Brown, our can
didate for the Vice Presidency, spoke Al
Indianapolis to an immense crowd.
In Louisville, Kentucky, there was Oh
the same day an immeLse Peace Reunion
The city was filled with strangers to heal
the distinguished men assembled there
from every quarter of the country to ad
dress them.
Verify, the Greeley movement is neither
dead nor sleeping
