THE OFFICERS or TEE CONVENTION.
SO much time has been taken up by the dele
gates IN canvassng this Lieutenant Governorship

who VIII be the officers OF the Convention. MIR.

InaJ MT. FTduCl5, VINO aSplreu TO the permanent
chairmanship win be selected Tor the former
position. Judge PlerrepOnt, Theodore NJ. POmeroy
and EDWIN u. Morgan are spoken OF In connection
with the permanent chairmansip, and 1t Is now
pretty certain that Morgan Will be the successful
man. Very little is said about
THE PLATFORM
otner than IN general way. Judge Pferrepont
understand, was entrusted with the delicate task OF
getting 1t up, and to-day completed 1t and submitted
IL TO the gentlemen who are the committee on
resolutions. 1t indorses the administration Of
General Grant, but what 1t says, II 1t SAYS any
thing. about the third term no one has been able
to ascertain with any certainty. When spoken TO
on the subject the managers refuse to talk about 1t.
Apparently that plank has not yet been settled
upon and will not be until the last moment. The
delegates who are not office holders, SO far as
have been able to learn during my conversation
with them, are dead against q third term. A few
OF tine delegates are Office and many have
near relatives IN paying Offices under the govern
ment, and 1t is rom tnem that comes learn. the
strongest opposition TO the Convention express
Ing ltselI III anv way upon the question.
THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE,
who were to mold grand convention here to-
morrow will hOd a sort OF meeting only, at which
resolution Will be passed condemnlng Dix lor his
veto OF last year. This was decided upon tonight.
1t may not be generally known that this con-
ventlon was part and parcel OF the plan which
was matured some time ago by the
Custom House party to defeat Governor Dix.
The promotion party who nominated Clarke was
considered OF no account, ana 1t was at the ln-
stance. understand Of the custom House that
the call Tor the temperance convention was
made. The slnews OF war were to be paid by the
Custom House 10 carry on the campaign. All the
Convention were representatives OF the Sons
OF Temperance, eastern and western divisions
and OF the GOOD Templars, bodies which. 1t Is sa d,
number at least 80, 900 men in the state. 1t Will
be seen that diversion by them against Dix
would have been quite serious matter the day
before election had DIX not been so
Custom House had no idea when they
first thought OF getting him out OF the way that
did, bat wnen they became generally known the
demand in favor OF his reorganization by the re-
publicans IN every county OF tue state brooked no
opposition, and the jobbers mad TO take a back
day. when some OF the leading temperance
men no dropped INTO town, to prepared , to 40 DO

alter his noInnation they wanted SO much
rs to prevent his nomination by the tre-
mendous temperance demonstration against
him the day before the state Convention was TO
be held, thereby securing custom House man IN
his place. The great majority OF tue men who
were to have been mere as representatives OF the
Sons OF Temperance and Good lemplars had the

as said before, pass their resolution and go their

than ever.
THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
now show that the old ticket Will be renOminatet
tomorrow beyond a doubt.
