SYRACUSE July "a. 1878.
The National Greenback Labor Convention has ad-
journed, leaving behind IL declaration OF repudia-
ton and reaction. The greenback men were triumph.
ant in its counses-,ndeed, but few hard listed labor
ers were represented In the main the body was,
made up Of haifeducated farmers, country mer-
chants, lawyers political enthusiasts and adventur
ers OF mediocre talents few citizens OF
considerable repute aud standing to
be distin guished among the delegates, but
not of the first rank In any walk of
life or Of second rate abilities. The Chairman
OF the State Committee who called the Convention,
John J. JUNO. a man whose disposition and popu-
larity fitted him for the leadership but not for the
intelligent guidance of crowd filled with grievances

successful, with the forces at his back, in excluding
the New York city delegations and insulting them,
thus distracting dividing instead Of uniting and

To-day dawucd upon trouble and contention Last
nights exclusion OF the New York delegates
had produced extreme bitterness OF feeling, and be-
lore breakfast time Syracuse House was crowded
with delegates anxious TO know whether the
differences were likely DO adjusted, In order that
hey might arrange IN case OF their continued ex-
elusion departure the early trains. IL was soon
apparent that the breach would not be eaied that
The Convention would persist Its de teri nation
not to mako any compromise whatever with the
nalcoutents OF the metropolis.
