UTICA N. Y. August AZ. 1879.
The Greenback Labor Convention promises to be
q lively body at its session to morrow-lively in
point Of warning factions. if no: as matter of
great political importance. 1t will evidently be
by no means SO large or enthusiastic q
gathering assembled in Syracuse last year.
The favorable outlook Of that period has since
changed to doubt and uncertainty. Leading demo-
Gratis and republicans with whom have conversed
recently in various parts Of the State contend that
the greenback nominations will poll 900 votes
for their State ticket November against 75 900
cast for Gideon J. Tucker in 1873 II this is then
the Conventions proceedings Of tomorrow will
amount to but little as an element in the State
canvass. But If tho democratic and republican
prophets should be deceived. aud over $4,000
ballots should be cast for q straight green
back candidate then the democrats will
doubtless be defeated and the day they did not
handle this gathering tar possible to their own
whom / talked tonight are in favor Of an indie
pendent straight ticket OF their own, without any
ition attempt ut coalition with either of the
prominent parties the State Agents of the Tiden
and anti -Tiden factions however. are undoubtedly
at work to induce the nomination Of certain men
who could be pulled adroitly for one side
the other when the time comes.
Mr. George o. Jones. of Albany. is
one of the prominent workers; also is Mr.. John

A TOUCHING APPEAL.
An appeal is made and freely circulated tonight
among the delegates by other members from RocLes-
ter, in which the Convention asked "to fornua

TRUE MEN.
1.-THE only genuine deleg gation from the metropolis
will be headed by George Blair, the man who first
organized the party the State but who thrust
ASIDE at syracuse last year because bis delegation
was contested by o horde OF strikers who with
be in force again at Utica. and who will
endeavor to accomplish the same results, provided
they not admitted TO the Convention. We have
u strong delegation from Monroe. aud hope that
other counties in the western part OF the
State will be equally represented. II SO. our
New York statesmen may mud that tho Empire
State don't swing upon the head OF Tiden's
barrel bow in tame submission to Tainmany's
chief sachem. Let the nomination Tor Governor
come from Western New York and the hardy sous OF
toil-the bone and sinew OF this novement-will
again buckle on the arinor aud surprise the labor
crushers who never learn anything until it is too
late"
