The Executive Committee OF the
Independent Reformers met at Chicago
the day after the Democratic Commit
tee met and issued what is known as
the Mccormick Call. Messrs. Gore
and Etter met with the committee Of
their party. We know that not only
was Mr.. Etter DESTROYS of a nomiua
ton by the Opposition convention, but
that Mr.. Gore also was, and almost
every member Of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that the Opposition,
or Democratic convention would not
act wisely if 1t refused to nominate the
Farmers ticket.
The purposes set forth in the No
Cormick Call were also discussed. The
financial purpose Of the Call was con-
demned by one or two of the commit.
tee who had imbibed the foolish belief
from some impure fountain that money
can be made OF chips or other vaiuless
things the other members were appa.
rently in a hazy condition aud had lit
tie to say on the subject, but general ;
agreed that a return to specie payment
was desirable. Mr.. Gore very expiic.
lily took this ground, and in couyersa,
ton endorsed as Democratic the pur
poses Of the Call. At that time he
desired the nomination Of the Opposi

the union Of the Dcmocratic.O ppo,i

Democrats Of s. s. Marshalls district,
asserted that the nomination Of the
Farmers state ,icket would drive Mar
shall out of the field and elect Gen.
Anderson but this consideration would
have had no effect, and Mr.. Gore would
have been nominated if he had not
been denounced by nearly all the del
epatcs from his own county and neigh
boring counties as a man of no ..intcg.
rity. The delegates from Mr.. Et;er's
county were loud in his praise, while
almost every delegate from the
region Of country in which Mr.
Gore lives, Denounced him in the
most unmeasured terms. We do not
know that what vas .aid in denuncia
ton of Mr. Gore ~ his neighbors was
true but we do know he had nc
friend who defended him. Mr.. Etter
on the other hand had friends who
met every objection to him with q
eulogy upon his character aud popu
larity. The consequence Of this con
dition of affairs was the withdrawal o
Mr.. Gore from the convention, and tn,
nomination of Mr.. Etter. Mr.. Cor,
was as willing as Mr.. Etter, but hi
advances were not received by the Op
position with the snme favor.
