ANOTHER DIsPATcH.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 2S.-The sreenbacS
convention which assembled here this
morning was larger in numbers than
was expected, there baing between
400 and 800 delegates. At au early stage
Butler feeling became manifest. The
proceedings were very boisterouE,
which was largely duo TO the
inetiiciency of the Temporary chairman,
Il. Tyler, of Florida. The great fight OF
the day vas made Oh the question of prox-
les. DIR. T. A. Blank, residing Ia
Washington, D. O.. proposed to represent
South Carolina greenbackers, and cost the
entire vote OF that state. Many southern
and they hoped il the proxies
were admitted they, would be
abba to defeat him. This feeling was shared
by Ed. Jones, OF New YORK, end Solon
Chase. of Maine, who argued yehemently
sgatrst the proposition to exclude proxies.
Three hours were devoted to discussion OF
tie pro ooosition and the convention
rot be admitted and that delegates
should cast only individual votes and
nor the full vote of the states.
One of the best speeches was made by Mrs.
Augusta Bristol, of New Jersey. Her re-
marks vera almost entirely political, with
incidental reference to woman's suffrage.
She made telling hit in desert bing the
characteristics of the man the convention
should nominate, when she closed by saying
he should be man with an eye single to
the best interests of the people. This was
taken rs referring to Burke and was sound
ly oheered. The convention was also ad.
dressed by Mrs. Mary Haggert and Miss
Fraucis Willard in behalf OF temperance
and outrage. .......
