hostility Of WxtersOn to Hendricks.
They claim that the selection Of Water

Is said that the Convention cannot con-
cluds its labors for three days. At a
quarter past II clock Augustus Schell
of New York called the Convention to
order, and, in brief speech, said that
the ticket presented should be one that
would embody the idea o: administration
reform. That vas what the people de-
sired. That Was the question. The
hands Of the Government: must be kept
clear Of stain. The people would not
again place in power those who had vio-
lated their pledges and brought about
the present disgraceful state Of affairs.
Another overwhelming question was
,ha, Of currency. The Democratic
party had always favored hard
money. and. consequently. was honest.
The Republican party had brought upon
the country the present hard times by
the:rreck!ess management OF Its finances.
The Democratic party should he III favor
of the Resumption Act ard against all
imitation schemes. The times are aus
p;ciouS for the success of reform in this
as in other matters connected with the
Government. 1t was for the Convention

.inued at length, closing with recon-

Grange; that Tom Shannon will not
