Edgerly. Alternates, Joseph Burroughs,
John W. Morse, John L. Cloutman and
David ii. Young.
The delegates are instructed to adhere to
the twO-thirds rule.
CoNcoRD, May 5th.-It is impossible at
this time to ascertain the exact status of the
delegation to the Cincinnati Convention
elected to-day, either as for or against Til
den. but from what can be learned it seems
to be favorable to Tilden. No expression of
preference was made in the Convention, no
speech being made except by the Chairman,

GREENSBORO, May 5th-The State Ma
tional Greenback Convention was held here
to- day. Only four delegates were present,
one of that number Republican Postmaster.
Congressman De La Matyr did not make his
appearance. An Executive Committee for
the State was chosen, with J. R. Winston, of
Milton as Chairman. Delegates to the Ma

The Missouri Anti.Third.Termers.
ST. LOUIS, May 5th.-Tie arrivals during
the day of delegates to the anti-third-term
Republican Convention have been only mod
crate, but the local committee have adyices
which indicate full attendance when the
Convention meets at noon tomorrow. The
sentiment of the delegates already assembled
seems almost unanimous in favor of making
it the sole purpose of the Convention to give
adequate expression to the hostility which is
believed by the delegates to exist in the Re.
publican party against the nomination of
General Grant to a third term. A strong eff
fort will be made to prevent the name of anv
other Presidential candidate being mentioned
and to prevent the expression of any prefer
ence as to who the Republican nominee shall
be.
A dispatch was received by the Executive
Committee to-day from George William Cur
tbs, expressing his fullest sympathy with all
Republicans in opposition to third term,
for which no good reason can be urged.

from Secretary Schurz, in which the follow

COLUMBUS, May 5th-A large number of
delegates are arriving by each train to attend
the State Democratic Convention tomorrow
Thurman, Payne, Tilden and Jewett all
have headquarters, and have busy friends
who are working hard in favor of their favor
ties. Congressman Hurd, Lefevre, Atber-
ton, Finley and McMahon are already here
Thus far the factions seem very peaceably
disposed, and are evidently disposed to use
honey rather than vinegar to attract atten-
tion to those they champion. 1t looks now
as if all factions will combine to prevent the
Convention from instructing for Thurman
1t is very probable that the Convention will
indorse Thurman but allow delegates to go
to Cincinnati uninstructed. An attempt to
do more than this as the matter looks now,
will be opposed by the friends of all other
candidates. Ex-Governor Bishops friends
are openly working for Tilden, hoping in this
way to gain support for Bishop for Vice
President
