Year: 1872

President Of the United States BY stumping for him
on the vacant lots Of Philadelphia. 1t seems that
Smith had gone some bond Of Bates, as Horace
Greeley had gone on the bond Of Jeff. Davis


DEMOCRATIC REPORNERs.


All these appearances are very ludicrous-Mark
Pomeroy as the democratic reformer, and Van Allen
as tough and influential statesman. Boltng propo-
sitions are doomed in this campaign, and General
Grants organs have


NO TINE TO LOSE


upon dividing the democratic vote, but ought to go
vigorously to work to save the republican constit
uency intact.


DELAWARE FACTIoUs.


In the Delaware delegation 1t is evident that
Bayard and Salisbury must either lose their grip
altogether or come into the Greeley movement, as
the lesser politicians Of the State are anxious to
precede them In influence, and about one thousand
republicans, who will join the Greeley moveme mt,
also propose to compete for this pocket borough.
The electoral vote OF the State Ia OF small conse-
quence any way, and it has been pretty generally
Kissed by the Convention as factious and imperti-
nent.


The Democratic Convention concluded Its work
to-day, between the hours Of ten and half past one
To Mr.. Doottle is owing very much OF that mingled
good temper and energy which held the min Ortty In
check. He made the rulings In favor Of Mr..
Greeley's friends, while occasionally giving some
little Outburst Of apparent equity for
Greeley's opponents and on the whole vindi-
Gated himself as a superb managing politician and
one of the leading authorities and principals in the
ensuing campaign: Every attempt to head bolt
get up i'll feeling here has been steadily resisted
by nearly the united South seconded by the power
OF New YORK State and the Northwest.


FUSsY LITTLE DELAWARE.


The State of Delaware made for itself great deal
of that kind of glory which Frenchman n might de-
sive and steadfast demeanOr Of nine.tenths OF the
delegates had even the effect to intimidate these
agricultural gentlemen and prOprietors OF the Della


BAYARD's PLEA.


Mr., Bayard asked permission to make q plea OF
ten or fifteen minutes and had it stingly accorded.
Had he been man OF commanding presence and
effective in speech he might have made some little
friends of Greeley who sat in nervous state OF
mind listening to his effort satisfied in two or
house could hear him at all, and that Of those
who did no great number were disposed to fall
into his line Of prejudice. Moreover his colleagues
in the Delaware delegation were guilty OF the sub
sequent bad management OF nominating his father,
one member of the inevitable Bayard family, for
President, as against Mr.. Greeley. This led to a
general rumbling of talk and eXclamatons Of sur
prise that nothing within the pale Of the demo-
cratic party was not to be coveted by the said Bay
ards and Saulsburys Mr.. Cove salisbury sat be-
side Mr.. Bayard with that hard, infexibe face
which he has carried for several years as the head
OF the relgn1ng family, DuL not Delng much Oh u
taker he did not come forward nor make
any demonstration. Tom Bayard was listened to
for about ten minutes, and then there were
to give him further opportunity: He rallied
after this long interude Of noise and outcres and

TELLING SPEECH OF SOUTH CAROLINA IRIsHMAN.
A South Carolina Irishman, by the name Of
he came forward and took the stand for about
twenty minutes, and made speech such as few
members OF the Cincinnati Convention would have
had the pluck to do He said, relative to the blacks
in the State from which he came, that nobody was
anxious to take their hard earned and hard won
ballot from them and at these sentences to the
up and gave one of the l0udest yells yet raised in
the Presidential nomination. O'Connor is stout,
prompt and fOrid debater full OF action, and he
made one of the great successes OF the day.


GOVERNOR HOFFMAN's MOVEMENT.


Another ingenious movement was that OF john Il
Hoffman in presenting petition, signed by $4,000
Germans of the State Of New York, insisting that
Mr.. Ottendorfer and the two or three men who at.
tended the Fifth Avenue Conference on their behalf
had no right to speak for German Americans; but
that, on the contrary, Mr. Greeley would get nearly
the solid vote Of that large element. AS few per

discovered, and then the House rose. up and gave

quite begun.


There were large number of liberal republicans
upon the stage and in the private boxes including
General Fitzpatrick John Cochrane, Theodore Til
ton, Colonel Mcclure and several Of the immediate
body cohort of Mr.. Greeley None OF these were
given any opportunity to feel embarrassed in their

THE ATTITUDE OF THE NEW YORK DELEGATION
was remarkably handsome. They enclosed the pit
or lower floor of the theatre, filing the whole of the
encircling row of seats in what Is sometimes called
the parquet circle When the delegation was called
all these seventy odd delegates stood up, and at
once the house was in jubilee. After they had
resumed their seats


GOVERNOR HOFFMAN,


still standing, with fan in his hand, made one O
those pretty and confident speeches, which was
heard IN every part of the theatre and was both
argumentative and popular in its character. Mr.,
DOolittle, who seemed to give the liberals all the
chance they wanted, made no objection to Hoffman
continuing as long as he pleased, and the flexible
ana genlal Governor aaafessed himself AZ once

promised that New York would give greater ma.

votes in the campaign. 1t was very papable here
that the New Workers and Hoffman held the para
mount influence, their perfect accord being in
marked contrast to the discOrd and timidity in


THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION.


At the same time, II the curtain could be raised
on the naked facts, it might appear that the Penn
sylvanians were at heart more earnest for Greeley
than the New Workers. New York moved like q
great corporation up to the work, and nobody in
truded his private grievance into the action OF
the State, while the Pennsylvanians were privately
saying all manner of good things around
the streets and hotels for Greeley, and urging that
their simulated opposition had the basis Of good
management and would yet be appreciated. They

spOnsbility of the new departure and bring them
