were soon crowded with excited delegates and
friends OF the liberal movement, who were busy dis
tussing the results Of the days work. In some of
the hotels speeches were made by enthusiastic del
egates approving the course OF the Convention,
while everywhere the nomination was the sole
topic OF conversation.
The larger number of delegates appeared dcci-
dedly satisfied with the issue OF their abors but the
excitement at the termination OF the Convention
was not al In the shape OF ratification. At College

q ~ MEETING OF OHIO DELEGATES
was held, which comprised about half Of the Ohio
delegation to the Liberal Convention, and which
turned out to be very stormy. Judge w. b. Sloane,
OF Port Clinton, was called TO the chair.
The larger number Of delegates made speeches,
and some OF them were denunciatory and cxct-
ing, while others counselled moderation and con-
sidcration. Among the most prominent were Judge
Hoadley, who was one OF the Committee on Resolu-
lions. He said that Judge Stanley Matthews, the
temporary president; John w. John, as well as him.
sch, had left the Convention in disgust.
Judge SLOANE said he had been originally an
Adams man, but there was no evidence that Gree
ley and his friends had practiced
FRAUD UPON THE CONVENTION,
and until he had such evidence he should adhere to
the nomination. He believed it was for the inter-
csts Of the country that there should be complete
change in the administration Of the government.
He cOunselled them to be calm and considerable,
and to act deliberately, like men.
THOMAS E. POWELL, Of Delaware county, said he
was dissatisfied with the nomination, but would
support the ticket.
j. HEATON of COlumbiana, Ohio said he was dis
satisfied, but urged moderation.
Judge BRINXENnoFF said he would not be made
victim OF a choice between two evils. Men came to
the Convention from New York and Pennsylvania
who were as much intruders as the devil was when
he intruded himself among the sons OF men. They
came and Outwltted and Outnumbered them. He
did not belong to anybody now. He was not yet
willing to say he wouldn't vote for Grant, but he
shouldn't vote for Greeley.
General JACK EASEMENT asked If they were not all
pleased with the platform? Other members

General BURNETT said he now felt discouraged
vice reform had anything to hope for from
the hands of such men. Greeley was honest,
progressive and liberal in his views, yet lie was
man OF crochets; he had no Judgment Of men; his
political friends and associates in New York were
among class Of men who did not enjoy the public
many corruption. Though he was deeply grieved

Colonel PARROT, Of Montgomery county, said
there never was more shameless trade made by
men than that made by Gratz Brown In the Con-
yention.
Mr.. FRY, of Clark county, said the bargain aud

Some member asked where was the evidence9
Mr.. FRY replied that the evidence was in Gratz
Mr. AYERS Of the Fourteenth district, urged

Convention.
General s. LARUE also declined to support the
ticket and resigned his position as member OF the
Central Committee.
Judge SpALDING, of Cuyahoga, and Mr.. SMITH, OF
Columbia, came to the defence OF the Convention.
The latter, in his remarks, said Mr. Greeley was
among the first to fight TammaDy, whereupon two
or three persons arose saying that he did not--he
rather defended Them

punish them before they got their hands in the pub
Nc treasury. But he was not in favor OF abandon
ing their organization. He said they should re-
main together, maintaining their organization
until the time should arrive when their principles
could prevail.
Several other members spoke
FOK AND AGAINST THE NOMINATION.
and finally, after long session, motion 10 ad-
large number of delegates departed for their
homes last night. Others will leave to-day while
few will remain over the Sabbath.
The hotels even now are well cleared out. and
though small groups OF gentlemen are discussing
the situation, still, compared with the immense
crowds that have thronged the corridors and halls
for . week past, the public houses look compare
lively deserted. Tile excitement in the city during
the balotng for President was intense, the anxiety
for news pervading all classes.
The President of the Chamber OF Commerce read
the results OF the ballotings as they were made.
Each result was received with applause, and the
with business considerable humber lumber Of persons
remained on the floor OF the Exchange until the
final result was received.
