Show By W. TJ. Telegraph. THE LOUSY! LLE COXVEXTIOX. Louisville, 4. The convention reassembled re-assembled at ten this morning. Tho chairman announced the committee on credentials had not been able to complete com-plete its work, but would report during the day. The chairman in reply to a delegato said this was a Democratic convention, and labor reform was not before it as an issue. A resolution was adopted by acclamation, accla-mation, concurring with Mr. O'Con-or's O'Con-or's letter to tho convention, and nominating him to the presidency. As some persons voted in tho negative a vote was then taken by States. During Dur-ing the roll call, George Francis Train rose to object, when he was hustled out of the hall amid great excitement. It was stated that he proposed to break up the convention. After the vote by States, O'Conor was notified of his Domination, when the committee on resolutions reported, favoring State rights, recognizing tho interests of labor, declaring their preference to remain re-main an eternal minority rather than surrender their principles, repudiating the Baltimore convention, and calling upon the people for support. .Nominations then being announced in order, Burt, of Iowa, nominated John Quincy Adams. Here Blanton Duncan read a noriinn nf a lrtlpr rn him from Adams, dated Burlington, Iowa, Aug. 31, in which Adams says he has not the least hesitation in saying say-ing that if O'Conor is nominated he will support him, but he wouldn't say that he would support many others that might be selected. He expresses the belief that O'Conor's nomination would "recall most of our bewildered soldiers to the ranks and secure a by no means insignificant accession from Republican camsp." He asserts, as the results of personal observation, great dissatisfaction with Grant in the West, and that many who are voting for Grant or Greeley, as a choice, will support sup-port the Louisville movement. In regard re-gard to the nomination for the vice-presideacy vice-presideacy he says: "I confess I do not covet that thing. Indeed, I should declino it outright, if in this case it might not seem almost to be flanking a forlorn hope; and that I don't like to appear to do. But, at the same time I hope you will find a better maa. In caso thero should bo any real and general inclination to couple my name with O'Conor's, it would strain my senso of honor to refuse it. In such a fight, for God's sako do not push or pull or force." On the ballot tho vote stood, Adams 593, Edgerton 9, Lyons 2. A letter was read from G. N. Fitch, of Indiana, endorsing the movement. The committee on credentials reported 3'"'2 delegates present, and recommended recom-mended each delegation to cast the full vote of the State. After tho usual vote of thanks, a recess was taken till three p.m. |
