ana we are touay
for Grant. We know intuitively
who are our friends, and we do not wish
to be understood as having an eye on
Cincinnati. There is no standing room
for us outside Of the Republican party
neither can We afford to vote for men
who have opposed every effort OF our
friends for our advancement.

The report was then unanimously
adopted.
A motion made to take recess
was laid on the table.
The Chairman appointed James
Speed, Of Kentucky; Governor Smythe,
OF New York, and Governor Fairchild,
of Wisconsin to conduct Mr.. Settle to
the chair.
Upon taking the chair Judge Settle
spoke as follows:
thank the Convention for the honor
conferred upon me. | accept it as the
hand OF friendship extended by the
North to the erring South. We have
high duties to perform-to select a man
to preside over the country for the next
four years. We should be ungrateful
and recreaut to duty if we failed to
select that great soldier General U. S.
Grant. He would take occasion to ad-
dress them at greater lenght during the
session OF the Convention.
General H. H. Bingham, OF Penn
sylvanis, was then selected Secretary to
the Convention.
A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning then prevailed, and
at 3 P. NJ, adjourned.
A call has been issued for delegates
from the Southern States to meet at
Horticultural Hall tomorrow morning,
at 9 o'clock, for the purpose Of drawing
up 8 petition to Congress requesting the
passage OF the Ku-Klux bill.
A meeting Of the Southern delegates
requested at Horticultural Hall, after
the adjournment OF the Convention this
afternoon, was had. There was but
partial attendance. The call had for
its object movement in favor Of May
nard, OF Tennessee, for Wee President.
No progress WAS made, as the delegates
from the South are almost without ex-
ception for Wilson.
The result of to-night's canvass in
dicates the nomination of Wilson on
the second or third ballot a certainty.
Alta meeting Of the New York State
Republicans, held this evening, the
following was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the delegates repre-
senting the State of New York be
