Z. d. morgan was gone through with. and he, too,
IKE Mr. Pomeroy, took occasion in his address to
that the talk OF the democrats about hurting the
tyrant U. S. Grant rom power was quite needless,
respect for the nations Inv. This certainly was
going a little further than Mr.. Pomeroy on the
question: guarded though 1t was. Still it was not
very loudly appauded, though number or the
delegates manifested approval.
THE REEOMINATIoN OF GOVERNOR DIX.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Morgan's speech IL DE-
came evident that the Convention was anxious
to proceed to the nomination OF andidates, Gen.
General DIX, purposely TO show the Convention

their feet and, Drandlshlng their hats and HAND

till they were hoarse; and when no longer able to

waiting for the Senator, General Woodford, on in.
yltatlon, addressed the delegates. Senator Conk-
defies description. The delegates and the specta-
tors on the ground moor and in the galleries rose
TO their teet and for few seconds the cheering
fairly made the building culver. 1t was generally
believed the Senator intended simply to address
the Convention in " a few remarks" However, as
he proceeded and began to anayze the condition
OF the South, 1t became evident that he was ABOUT
to deliver one OF those "revews OF the situation"
for which he is famous whenever there Is any eX-
t1aordinary political trouble North or South or
whenever hard campaign is TO be fought in the
attention. HIS pictures Of the desolation caused
in the South by the men who were maddened by

brought his hearers into a pitch o. excitement
that have seldom or never seen equalled. No
wonder then, when the committee on resolutions
brought in it's report, that the applause with which
y was finally greeted seemed more mechanical
than heartfelt.
AS TO THE PLATFORM
it will be noticed that the third term question is
not even alluded to. The understanding arrived
al early this morning before the Convention met
that no resolution on the question should be
brought up in the Convention, but that the COM
with 1t as 1t saw ft. gave reason for the belief,
when 1t was arrived at, that the commit

did not take any action upon Mr.. Angels granger
resolutions, nor upon Nj. Dittenhoefer's resolu-
atom An eort Vas made BY Mr. Anre T alter the
committees report, TO get his resolution added
to the report; but he was ruled out of order. But
Mr.. Bailey came in with his address to the people
on the part OF the committee, just In the nick OF
time, probably. to stave of discussion which
might have created mischief.
THE ADJOURNMENT
OF the Convention was marked by the same scenes
OF excitement as Its proceedings had been. 1t Is
safe TO say that more harmonious, and at the
same time enthusiastic, political asseMbage has
no, taken place IN this State since the war; If en-
thusasm Is q harbinger OF victory certainly the
republican party has little to lear from the coming
battle in November. 1t may be SAID, in conclusion,
that Mr. Conkhng's speech Is regarded as the Key
note OF the campaign. He has, as 1t were, pointed
out the road which the party must travel and the
course The henchmen In city and country must
that all the faithful asS repubcans are ex esy

upon it as third-term speech out and out: and
many members of tDt Convention who were not
wiling to openly av0w their sentiments as TO the
third d-term question while in the Conven tion so
