ECHOES OF THE CONTENTION Dr. T. A Bland, of Washington, States His Reasons for Opposing Butler. George 0. Jones Issues an Address to the Party in New York—The Press Association. • - * Many of the delegates to tlio late lamented National Greenback Labor convention remained in the city over yesterday, and a number of them left for Chicago to attend the Republican con vention last night. The chief topic of discussion among them is the opposition that has developed among prominent men of the party to the nomination of General Butler, and this seems to be rather on the increase, despite tho urgent efforts made to effect a reconciliation of differences. Charges .and counter-charges are being freely made on both sides, and it is evi dent that the end is not yet. Dr. T. A. Bland, of Washington, D. C-, a well-known Greenback writer, and author of the life of General Butler, was asked by a Journ.al reporter, yesterday, what he thought of the nomination of Butler? Ho said: “Up to the latest advices, General Butler is a Democrat, in full fellowship with that old hunker, hard-money party: hence 1 regard his nomination by the national Greenback convention a surrender, by the majority of that convention, of the principles of the Greenback party, with the empty hope of a victory which could only result in the destruction of tho party. 1 mean this. The only hope of electing General Butler, which his supporters can possibly have, is based on tho contingency of his getting tho nomination of tho Democratic party, which would make the Wationnl Greenback party an ally of the Democratic. The latter being the larger and the stronger of the two would absorb and thus annihilate the other. It is fusion in its worst form; and fusion in various States has been the bane of our party from its birth. I have fought fusion with either of the old parties, as my record will show, and as every Greenbacker knows, from the first, and shall fight it so long as there is a fort from which I can hurl my shot and shells. The action of this convention leaves me. for the time being, without a Greenback fort in which to stand. But I hope and believe that the action of this convention will be repudiated by a large minority, if not a majority, of the Grcenbackers of tiie country, and that after the Democratic convention is held, and the treachery of Butler fully exposed, by his seeking the nomination of the Democratic jJarty, a call will be issued fora mass convention of (jJreenbackers who do not seek office, and can, therefore, afford to be true to the principles of the party; and that a sound platform and a straight ticket will be put in the field and anew uutional committee organized.” Reporter—On what grounds were you refused your seat in the convention as a delegate? ••Nominally on the pound that I was a delegate by proxy, but really because my record in the campaign in Massachusetts last fall advertised me as an anti-Butler man. My expulsion from the convention was a high handed outrage, of which only Bourbons could be guilty. “The first convention of the party established the precedent, and the second and last sustained it, that any State or district could appoint any member of the party in good standing a delegate to its conventions. Knowing this fact, the chairman of the State committee of South Carolina wrote to me that he nor any of the delegates were able to come, and that he had been duly authorized to appoint me a delegate, with full power to represent the party in that State in the convention, and also in the national committee. I was allowed my seat in the national committee on my credentials, but refused my seat in the convention. An insult to and an outrage upon South Carolina, and it will be resented as such by the Greenbaekers of the State, which elected that well-known Greenback leader, J. Hendrix McLane, Governor in 1882, by an overwhelming majority, which victory was lost, however, through the wholesale fraud of the Bourbon election officers.” This infamous outrage was approved by General Butler in a speech in Springfield. Mass., last fall, when he asserted as he did tliat “the elections in South Carolina were conducted more honestly than they were in Massachusetts.”

THE DISSATISFIED GREEN BACK ERS. An Address to tlie Party of New York by George O. Jones. Mr. George O. Jones, chairman of the State central committee, of New York, of the National Greenback Labor party, who headed the opposition to General Butler’s candidacy in the convention here this week, last night issued the following address to the party of his State: Indian Arons, Ind., May 30, 1884. To the members of the National Greenback Labor party, in the State of New York: The national convention called to represent onr party in this city on the 28tli inst. nominated Gen. Beniamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, as candidate for President. Knowing, as I do. that, nine-tenths of the Greenback voters in the State desired to vote for some member of the party for which they have saeri6ced so much, and for no one who is not willing to stand by its principles, and be its candidate regardless of all other party influence, I did not l’eel that I would faithfully represent the wishes of those who sent me here, nor comply with the instructions contained ; n a resolution passed ly our last State convention in voting for General Butler without farther and more positive information on his present views relating to these questions, therefore voted for Mr. Allis, of Wisconsin, of whose devotion to our cause and candidates no doubt, to my knowledge, was ever entertained. Before nominations were made, the New York delegation unanimously agreed that in the event of General Butler's nomination, a resolution should be passed by the convention, and a recess theu taken until this morning to await his reply, and in the event of his dealing to accept the nomination, or to become the candidate of onr party during the coming canvass, or neglect or refusal to answer such a communication by this forenoon, the delegates would vote for some other candklate in bis stead. The convention failed to pass such a resolution, but Appointed a committee to wait on General Butler, and General A M. West, of Mississippi, the nominee for Vice-piesident, notify them of their nomination and receive their reply. Under these circumstances official action of the party, relating to national candidates. peniling their auswer, must await their decision. If the candidates named accept the nomination, indorse the plat form adopted and place themselves in the hands of the party a* its representative, every member of the party, for the sake of the cause, is in honor hound to lay aside all jKjrsonul considerations and abide by the action of the convention; but should either decline the proffered nomination, reject the platform, fail to acknowledge his allegiance to the party, or become the candidate of either of the old •eetional parties, no true National will or should cast his vote or use Ins influence toward* the election of Such a man. Since the convention adjourned more tfcan a hundred delegates who voted for both of the Candidates nominated have informed me of their intSßtioii to stand by such requirements, coupled with the hope th at they will be fully compiled with by both candidates. In view of the number of gorxl men who honestly believe the action taken in selecting candidates was wise, the great personal influence which no sensible man will deny must result in hastening the public consideration of our principles, provided letters of acceptance are written which inspire contidonee and enthusiasm among the members of our party throughout the country. 1 cordially unite in that hope and sincerely trust all self-respect-ing Greenback ere in New York will wait patiently until the letters of acceptance are made public before taking any action Which, for the welfare of the party, they may hereafter i-C£ r< *L As soon as the desired informatiort comes to my knowledge measures will be taken to hold a State convention to take such action as will preserve tlie integrity of our party, and insure a vigorous canvass for its interests, candidates and principles. Please address all communications tfc. Albany, N. V. Geo. O. Jones, Gn&lr&ian of State Committee.

ROCHEFORT ON GENERAL GRANT. The Frenchman in a Had Humor Over the General’s European Visit. Paris, May 30.—Rochefort, in replying to his journal, L’ Intranaigeant, concerning a state ment that General Grant refused to receive him, says: “I never solicited General Grant for an audience. I would have received one, but guarded myself from accepting. 1 would not forget how, as President of the United States, during the war of 1870, he lost no chance to show his hostility to France. Not only were our defeats saluted at tho White House by toasts to German successes, but Mr. Wasburne, the American Minister to France, abused without shame his diplomatic immunity, and made himself the active agent of Bismarck, and twice n week passed through his advices of the state of the siege, addressed to King William. Keratry, now prefect of police at Paris, arrested several American agents who were spies in the service of Prussia, and whom he expelled from the country, In 1878, when ex President Grant was invited to a state dinner in Berlin, a review oi Ger man troops was given in his honor, and he proposed a toast to the Emperor, Bismarck and the German army, which had beaten France, saying: ’And after what we have just seen will always beat her.’ This style of recognition of the services of France during the struggle for American independence arose from the need Grant felt to manage tho German vote in Ms campaign for the third presidential term.” Rochefort’s statements are attracting unusual attention in Paris.

Collapse of a Baltimore Warehouse—.Yu Unknown Number of People Killed. Baltimore, Slay 30. —A terrible accident oc curred at Hooper's building, No. 37 South Gay street, at 2 o’clock this afternoon, by which several persons are known to have been crushed to death. The weight of the cotton stored in the building caused its collapse. When the front of the building fell in, three or four per sons were in the counting room and four in the shipping office, and there were at least fifteen or twenty in front of the store house. The firemen and police are busily engaged in moving tho debris in order to get the people out. The body of Mart H. Linthicum, cashier of tho house, has been found packed in between several barrels, it was impossible to reach him. I p to 7 o'clock this evening only the bodies of Linthicum and a colored hoy. J. E. Bowen, had been recovered. In addition to those already named, Edward Bowen, a colored porter, ir in the wreck, Wni, H. Corkeran, a clerk, was caught under the timbers, but was little injured. Dugdale Long, fertilizers, occupied the front of the building on the second floor, and Benjamin Greenwood, Gildea Hook and Kenneth Me Lea. employes, are known to have been there when the crash came. Greenwood reached a window and was rescued without serious in jury. Hook and McLoa are still under the debris, the whole of which is filled with gas from broken pipes. Tho building was supposed to be one of tho most substantial in the city, with heavy side walls and blue-stone front. It had been occupied for several years by Win. E. Hooper & .Sons, cotton goods manufacturers, and an immense stock was stored on the five floors. On which floor the break occurred is jiot known, all are down from the front to within about fourfeetof the rear, which opens on Frederick street. The counting room is in tho rear of the first floor, and most of the people were there when the break occurred. One half of the upper front floor was thrown down and tho re mainder so broken and pushed out that it is ex pected to fall at any moment. The warehouse was built about twenty-five years ago, and was long used as a tobacco warehouse. The ground was filled in, having been once the river shore. The foundation is said to have settled down, and the immense weight of the goods was the cause of the calamity. Steamship Arrivals.
