INFLATIoNIsT COSvENTIoSs,-The New
York inf1a,onlsts held state convention at
Syracuse on Wednesday, but instead of 500
delegates being present. as was predicted. but
about so appeared. The most notable among
these were Richard Schell, Gideon J. Tucker
Thos. f. Thompson, and J. v l.. DAILY. The
speakers expended their breath mainly IN
abusing Gov. TIlden. The resolutions re-
commend the holding Of state convention
to send a second set of delegates to the St
Louis convention; declare Justly that the
"Schenck bill' of 1869, by which the 5,2O
bonds were made payable in gold, was gross
violation of contract and fraud; oppose the
redemption of the fractional currency ia sill
yer; and declare (nonsenscally) that legal
tenders are the standard Of value while gold
constantly fluctaates; and that legal tenders
should pay the bondholder his interest and
ali other debts, private and public, including
duties on imports
The Connecticut "Greenback" Convention,
about the same time, nominated a state ticket
and adopted resolutions demanding the un'
conditional repeal OF the srecIe resumption
