When we arrived at Syracuse
and stated our determination to
present Mr.. Greeley's name, It was
hilariously received as q joke.
Efforts were made by friends Of
Mr.. Greeley to persuade him not
to undertake such an impossible
task. but they could produce no
effect.
Mr.. Griswold was put in nomI-
nation by Mr.. Demers, one of the
most eloquent young men in the
ministry in the State, and after
ward an editor OF power, and his
speech filled every REQUIREMENT.
Then I presented Mr.. Greeley.
At first the audience was hostile,
but as the recital Of the great edi-
tors achievements grew In inten.
sity and heat. the convention be-
gan to applaud and then to cheer.
A delegate hurled at me the ques-
tion, How about Greeley signing
the bail Of Jefferson Davis?" The
sentiment seemed to change at
once and cheers were followed by
Kisses. Then there was supreme
silence, and I Immediately shout
ed: "Thereeare spots on the sun"
The effect was electrical. Dele
gates were on their feet, standing
on chairs. the air was full of hats,
and the cheers deafening for

Der. When Mr.. Greeley took the

made only his bust visible. and
with his wonderfully intellectual

expression. he was one Of the

saw occupying the chair N q pre-
siding officer.
One OF tho electors had failed
to appear. Most of US knew that
under pressure Of great excite
ment he was unable TO resist his
convivial tendencies. but no one
supposed that Mr.. Greeley could
by any possibility know Of his
weakness. After waiting some
time one of the electors moved
that the college take q recess for

very pale and, before putting the
question. made q little speech.

full Of emotion. I might almost
say tears: MY brethren. we are

public lives or dies. would,
therefore, suggest that we sit

The effect Of this. address upon
the Electoral College and the sur
rounding audience was great.
Many were In tears, and the
women spectators. most Of whom
were In mourning for those lost
during the war. were all crying.

Greeley was absolutely right. Any
one who does not think SO can try
to solve that problem himself.
