He said that Judge Stanly Mathews, the tenn
porary President and John w. Johns, as vel
as himself had left the convention in dis
gust


Judge Sloan said he had been originally ar
Adams man. but there was no evidence but
that Greeley and his friends had practiced the
fraud upon the convention and until he had
such evidence he should adhere to the nomina-

and to act deliberately like men.

would support the ticket. 'l9


J. Heaton, of Columbiana, Ohio, said he was
dissatisfied, but urged moderation.


Judge Brinkerhoff said h4would not be mad e
a victim of choice between two evils Men

Pennsylvania who were as much intruders as
the devil was when he intruded himself among
the sons Of men.


ANOTHER BRIDGE TORN UP.


He, Gen. Easement, had joined this move
ment and torn up his bridge behind him. He
was going to stick by the nomination.


HARD ON HORACE


Gen. Burnett, the law partner of Gov. Cox,
said he now felt discouraged and disheartened
He did not think the civil service refom had a
thing to hope for from the hands Of such men.
Greeley was honest, progressive and liberal
in his views, yet he was man of crochetS He
had no judgment of men. His political friends
and associates in New York were among a class
of men who did not enjoy public confidence
who were nearly allied to the Tammany currup-
ton. Though he was deeply grieved at the re-
suit to-day, he thought they ought to maintain
the organization for future work, and not take
hasty steps which they might repent.


FRIENDS OF REFORM oUTwITTED.


They came and outwitted and outnumbered
them He did not belong to anybody now. He
was not vet willing to say he would not vote
for Grant, but he should not vote for Greeley


General Jack Easement asked if they were
not all pleased with the platform. Other men,
bers answered yes" yes" He further in
quired if Greeley was not an honest man ?
What more was wanted


SHAMELESS TRADE.


Col Parrot, of Montgomery county, said
there was never more shameless trade made
by men than that made by Gratz Brown in the
convention.


Mr.. Fry, of Clark county, said bargain and
sale were evident. Some member asked where
was the evidence? Fry replied that the evil
dence was in Gratz Browns speech.


Mr.. Ayers, Of the 14th District, urged them
not to judge too hastily and counselled mod
Grafton.


RESIGNED.


Cen Brinkerhoff announced his resignation
as a member of the State Central Committee
He was not willing to abide by the determina-
ton of the Convention.


Gen. S. Larve also declined to support the
ticket and resigned his position as a member of
the Central Committee.


DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.


Judge Spalding, of Cuyahuga and Mr. Smith,
of COlumbiana, came to the defence of the Con-
vention. The latter in his remarks said Greeley
was among the first to fight Tammany. Where
upon two or three persons arose saying that ne
did not; he rather defended them


Judge Hoadley again got the floor, charging
that Tammany had triumphed.
WILL VOTE FOR GRANT To DEFEAT GREELEY.
He said he would defeat Greeley and Brown
if he had to vote for Grant to do it. He was no
but was after men to punish them
before they got their hands in the public treas
ury, but he was not in favor Of abandoning
their organization. He said they should re-
main together, maintaining their organization
until the time should arrive when their princi-
pies could prevail.


Several other members spoke for and against
the nomination and finally, after long session,
a motion to adjourn prevailed. A large num-
Der of the delegates departed for their homes
last night.
