THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, July 25.-After
the speech-making on Kinds resolution
endorsing Pope and Greeley last night,
the roll was call by counties, and as such
all voted aye. Three delegates, however,
had the courage to have themselves re-
corded as opposed to the endorsement.
They were Ross, of Putnam, and two men
in the Washington county delegation.
Three others were recorded as blank.
At the conclusion of the funeral cere
mony a committee was sent out to notify
the candidates, who We're conveniently
near. On their return Mr.. Pope was in
troduced, and made a speech an hour
and half long, in which he took up and
reviewed the independent platform, and
arraigned the democratic party, charg-
ing that it was full of hypocrisy and de-
ceit. 1t was a rehash of the editorials in
the Madison Era for the last two years.
1t was towards the small hours when he
closed and gave Mr.. Greedy a chance,
who only said few words in acknowl-
edgment of the honor conferred on him.
Mr.. Bisbee followed in brief Speech
and gave way to Mr.. E. o. Locke, the
the republican candidate for congress in
the First district. After he closed there
were loud cries for Walls, who made a
five minutes speech, in the course of
which he announced that he was in the
field for congress, to stay, and would
canvass the whole Second district for
Blaine, Pope, and "the fifth man." at his
own expense.
By the time General Walls had got
through the hall was pretty well thinned
out, a motion to adjourn sine die was
carried, and the bearers took up the
corpse of the republican party and car
ried it off into the silent night.
