with action in the State Convention until
It was known what it had been deemed best
to do at Baltimore. Individually, he was
in favor of straight Democratic nomina-
ton at Baltimore, and
VIM. s. GrOesbeck
was his first choice.
Some members of the Committee nay
have felt similarly inclined, but no one else |
publicly expressed themselves as in favor Of |
a straight Democratic nomination.
A motion. was made to strike out that |
part a. tie resolution which invited Liberal |
Republicans and anti Grant lien to eo-bpe-
rate, and after an animated discussion the |

of nominating an electoral ticket to the
discretion Of that convention.

provide that the language of the call of the
National Committee be added to it, but
this was voted down by 8 to 8.
While nc formal seton vas taeen, gen
eral willingness was expressed to support
Greeley heartily in case Baltimore saw fit
to endorse his nomination, and some gen.
tlenen expressed themselves enthusiast
cally over such course.
The change of place of holding the State
Convention from this city to Cleveland has
no political significance, but is merely an
move, free hall and free music
being the incentives.
