and the people are universally for Lincoln. "Copperhead" newspapers every-
where are boosting Fremont and knocking Lincoln. "The army of the Union at
the front and the army of the Union at the North are one and undivisible.
The one will triumph over rebels in arms, the cther over Copperheads every-
where." (5)

nominated at Baltimore, such is the disgust felt by his party towards him
that it is probable the presidential race in Ohio will be between the Dem-
ocratic nominee and Fremont.
"Now in opposition to this the coolest of cool assumptions, we put our
prediction upon record, that General Fremont, even if an electoral vote
for his support is formed, will not poll 5,000 votes in the State of ยบ

years he has filled with such honesty, ability and patriotism." (11)

that one was once a rail-splitter, and the other a tailor - will be the

in connection with the New York soldiers' votes. In Baltimore sealed .
envelopes containing the votes of the New York soldiers were opened
and McClellan votes substituted for Lincoln votes. "This shows how much
faith the 'Copperheads' have in the soldiers votes, and to what desperate
efforts they are ready to resort in order to carry the election for . -
McClellan." - - . (3)

of Copperheads; and a convention at Cleveland, of fierce, uncompromising
Fremont men. These last three will not affect the decision of the Baltimore
convention, as that will represent the majority of the people both in civil
and military life." (3)

land May 31. These anti-Lincoln inen will nominate a candidate for pres-
ident to run in opposition to the Baltimore nnminee. A glance at the list
of names will show a most incongruous lot of names, consisting of many
nationalities and representatives of all the old parties.
"A curt examination of the list will give one a good idea of the
reputation and calibre of the signers of the call - that they are with
one or two exceptions, most gloriously unknown to fame. They are all
evidently soreheads... mad against the Adulinistraticn about something."

Cleveland Morning Leader, 2 June 1864 (ed; 18 inches) ~ See original
p.2, col.1 ~ View at ChronAm

1584 - L June 2; ed:2/1 - The "Fremont" convention held here May 31 was
given wide publicity by the Democratic press throughout the country, but
its slimness and insignificance was a surprise even to those who knew how
feeble the whole affair would be.
The authorized delegates present did not exceed 200. Of the six
or eight individuals who manipulated the convention only General Cochrane
of New York was f any national prominence. -
The state of Missouri, in which a rabid red Republicanism finds ex-
istence, virtually controlled the convention.
The object of the convention, aside from gratifying a spite toward
President Lincoln, was to affirm a more radical policy than any yet
enunciated, and to put forward a man who will carry the policy into
effect.
Mr. Foster, the special champion of radical views, was obliged to
confess in his speech Tuesday (May 29) that the Republican party holds
the same views on the subject of slavery as expressed in the Fremont
platform.
The doctrines laid down in the Fremont platform, those that are
vital, will all be substantially affirmed at Baltimore, (the Republican
convention.) Their realization will be much sooner attained by a strict
unity of the Union party, than by such a disorganizing scheme as the
one inaugurated in Cleveland.
"We have commented thus at length, not from any apprehension, ...
but from the conviction that the Copperheads... will endeavor to fan the
whole affair into importance.
"The Convention, in a word, was made up of oily politicians from
New York, impetuous, hair-brained Germans from St. Louis, several
venerable abolitionists... together with an admixture of personal friends
and parasites of Fremont, all controlled by one feeling - that of hatred
for Abraham Lincoln." - - (18)

nomination of Lincoln at Baltimore he will accept the nomination of

"Of course he will. The man who sent all his friends from every
quarter to the convention here to nominate him, at whose suggestion
and in whose interest it was gotten up, who paid its running expenses,
and who contrived and, by means of his tools, maraged the whole affair,
solely and entirely that he might receive the nomination, would not
be likely to refuse it." (6)

1592 - L. July 4:2/1 - Mr. Phillips, having committed himself to the
support of Fremont, now regards it as his duty to defend the character
and work of the Cleveland convention.
Mr. Tilton of the INDEPENDENT, strongly opposed to Mr. Lincoln
before the Baltimore convention, after it, sustains him and criticizes
the men and spirit of the Cleveland Fremont convention.
Mr. Phillips felt obliged to lecture his young friend Tilton, who in
return fairly "picked Mr. Phillips to pieces" in a cutting reply.
"We regret to see a man like Mr. Phillips allowing his personal
prejudices against Mr. Lincoln so completely to warp his judgement on
questions so vital to the Republic. After this severe chastisement at
the hands of Mr. Tilton, we hope to see him converted from the error -
of his ways." (12)

1596 - L. Apr. 8; ed: 2/1 - The Baltimore convention is to be held June 7.
Will the interests of the nation be impeded by having the nomination of a
presidential candidate decided so early in June? Will it distract the
attention of the country from the prosecution of the war? By a delay,
some people hope to shake the widespread confidence of the people in
Lincoln. "At present they beat the air; a few months might give them
something more substantial to beat, and hence they favor the postponement.
We believe the cause of the republic will be strengthened by an early
nomination and a veteran administration." (17)

1602 - L. May 19:2/3, 4 - W. H. Upson of Summit county and D. R. Tilden of
Cleveland were renominated as delegates to the Baltimore National Union
committee yesterday at the convention of the 28th congressional district
held in Brainard's hall. The only other candidate for delegate was
Senator Williamson.
Senator Williamson was not at the convention. When he was called upon
to express his opinion on a candidate for the presidency, William Fuller
spoke in his behalf, stating his understanding of Mr. Williamson's position
to be that he is in favor of the nomination of Mr. Lincoln, but would not
pledge himself to continue voting for him if circumstances should show
some other man to be a stronger candidate.
Judge S. II. Pitkin explained Mr. Upson's unavoidable absence from the
convention and stated that he was for Mr. Lincoln, first, last, and all
the time, but that he would support the nominee of the convention.
Judge Tilden was the only candidate for delegate who addressed the
convention.
He said he was very free to state his preferences on the question of
support. He said be had no desire to go to Baltimore, and had no idea of
going without clearly defining his position and knowing that it represented
the views of a majority of the convention. He declared himself in favor of
the nomination of Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Tilden lad opposed Mr. Lincoln's
nomination at Chicago, but said he had since watched his course carefully
and believed him to be as pure a man as had ever held the administration
of a government in his hands.
Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Tilden added, "by his course, his calmness, his far-
sightedness," had fused and arrayed all parties against the mightiest cf
rebellions.
Judge Barr enquired if Judge Tilden would abide by the nomination of the
Baltimore convention, and made a reference to the convention of 1848, which
nominated General Taylor.
Judge Tilden explained his course at that convention in full, and
admitted that in obedience to the instructions of the convention which
nominated him, he did make an ass of himself and bolt the ticket, voting
for Mr. Wan Buren.
Seth A. Marshall, Lake county, was nominated by acclamation as pre-
sidential elector for the district. Peter Thatcher, jr., was chosen as
alternate delegate for Judge Tilden. John Johnston, Summit county, was
unanimously elected the alternate of Mr. Upson.
"The following resulution, offered by the Hon. John Crowell, was adopted
with overwhelming unanimity:
"That this convention has undiminished confidence in the wisdom and
patriotism of President Lincoln and his administration, and that the people
demand his renomination at the Baltimore convention."
Permanent organization of the conver,tion was affected when a committee
report naming H. S. Stevens of Cuyahoga, president, was adopted. Vice
presidents of the convention were Theodore Brock, Cuyahoga county; Simeon
Perkins, Summit county; and John Murray, Lake county. Secretaries were:
J. C. Grannis, Cuyahoga county; W. W. Nevison, Lake County; and E. P. Green,
Summit county. (36)

decision. In carrying out this duty, the convention will without doubt re-
nominate Lincoln, on their first ballot or by acclamation, for re-election
