New-York tribune., 1872-07-09


the delegation shoud vote for the nomination or the IN
dorsement OF the Cincinnati ticket Only ono MEMBER
a very clear.headed man OF long pohuch eApoio"s'
favored the latter course, and In speech su tna' no
had no expectation that Mr.. Greeley would ever po
na6e n democratic President, and he under
stood the two fundamental principles OF
the Democratic party were free trade and the
right Of the States TO govern Themselves On TINS ques
ton Mr. Greeley still holds, and without doubt Will con-
10 hold, the opinions which ne mas heiu ior
the last 80 years. To put him In nomination as the can
ddate of the Democratic party would therefore, IN MS
estimation, be an anomaly He should not support Mr.
Greeley because he expected him TO become aDemocrat
but because he hoped that, under his admhistra
tion, the South would obtain that relief Which
1t so much needed. In conversation ai'ei
the adjournment OF the meeting, tne same
gentleman said that he had often heard 1t remarked
that what the South needed more than anything else
was 10 divide the negro vote between two great national
parties While he admitted the truth OF this assertion
to some extent, he doubted it's practicabLity under
present circumstances; but" said he, off we can py
any means DIVIDE the white vote Of the South between
the two great national parties shall accomplish our
object / don't much care what questions parues
shall hereafter be divided. 1t may be on those
questions which distinguish the Wing party from the
Democratic, or 1t may be on newer issues You may
think it strange" said he In conclusion, THAT we
Southerners are anxious TO take up Mr. Greeley
do wonder that the people of the North are unable 10
reconstruction took place, feeling that you had no
part or parcel in the Government that the country
which you inhabited was not yours, that you were
looked upon conquered province and not as free
people, you would see why we willing to concede al
most anything in order to escape from this condition
don't want my children to grow up devoid of love OF
country them to feel that they have an interest
in affairs of this nation aud it because bring
about state Of things which will make this possible
that am supporting this movement"
great deal of interest was felt this evening on the
probable action of the Pennsylvania delegation, which
met at s o'clock at Barnum's Hotel They had a long
and stormy session, lasting from until about 10 o'clock
Speeches made by VIM. A. Wallace Samuel D.
Randall, Mr.. Bailey, and Others. The question OF the
nomination Endorsement OF Greeley, or the nomination
of straght-out ticket thoroughly canvassed The
strong Greeley feeling manifested in the delegation
neutralized all the Efforts to bring ont straight
out nominee. Indeed, this point was not
argued TO any extent. The opposition confined
itself chiefly effort to resolution of non
expediency resolution was offered that the Chairman
Of the Convention be instructed TO cast the vote each
delegate should direct and that when the Chairman OF
the Convention shall announce that any candidate has
received twO-thrds VOTE the Chairman of the Penn
sylvana delegation be instructed TO move that the nomi
NATHAN be made unanimous. Several amendments were
moved to this resolution and voted down. Among
them was the motion 10 strike out the
last clause. Finally the resolution was adopted
as first offered. During the entire session the hall was
crowded with outsiders who manifested the greatest in
terest in its result The delegation decided upon the
following organization: Committee on Resolutions,
Samuel j. Randel; Committee on Organization, Gen.
Joseph Burns National Executive Committee James Z.
Barr; Committee Credentials, c. A. Lamberton. The
Committee Organization were instructed to present
the name of Gen. Geo. W. Cass for Permanent Chairman
The Hon. VIM A. Wallace elected Chairman of the
Pennsylvania delegation.
In meeting of the West Virginia delegation this after
noon the question raised whether the vote OF the
delegation should be cast soidly for Greeley not.
This proposition caused some discussion from which 1t
was apparent that few members of the delegation were
opposed Mr.. Greeeys nomination. No vote was taken
on the question and the delegation adjourned until to-
morrow. II these members are at all strenuous in their
opposition the majority OF the delegation will probably
refrain from passing any resolution TO vote soidy as
there no disposition among the delegates to prevent
expression Of opinion by any of their number
The Indiana delegation in its meeting to-day adopted
the following preamble and resolution:
