The much.talked-of Liberal Repub-
lican Convention commences IL eos
sion at Cincinnati tomorrow. Il will,
be n grand gathering of politicians OF
every shade and variety Of political
policy, from the Liberal Republican
down through the successive degrees
Of pas,ivcism, neutral and independent
Democracy, to tho rank coppsrhead.
A perfect army Of k~een-scsntsd poll

that Missouri alone would sepd "one

and cry ebay! hay!" eager to b
stall-fsd at the public crib, and 70 ride
thither on tho back Of the winning
horse. But the Aforesaid winning
horse will hardly be trotted out BY the
Cincinnati Convention. That conven-
Htion will be one OF Office seekers, work
Ing In opposition to Office holders ; and
the primo object, first aud foremost
will be to defeat the denomination or
reelection Of Grant to the Presidency.
Schurz, Trumbull, Greeley, Wood,
and a number Of other prominent
t~ime-serving politicians, lead In the
movement, and the dlsa1scted masses
follow. ap
What will DO the result? Will this
Convention succeed In making q nom
inatlon? Hardly. There are too
many contending clements and con-
trary interests involved to allow Of
harmonious action. Charles Francis
Adams Is their most popular candl-
date, but the most prominent Demo-
cratic element Interested In the Con-
vention declare that II Adama ls nom-
mated the Democracy will give him
but a partial support II any at all.
They object to him because be Is
thought to Be unpopular with the Irish,
and Adams himself declares. that he
does not wish or seek the domination,
valuing his personal Independence too
highly to be placed In the attitude ola
politician m~ercenarily trucking to
any body Of men who happen to get
into power. Ben Wood also swears
that If the nominee of that Convsntion
IL Adams, that nominee shall not re-
ceive the support Of the Democracy.
Even Greeley Is not In favor Of Adams.
Judge Davis might be nominated. but
the Labor Reformers have totally re-
pudiated him, and he Is far from popu-
lar with the masses. Adams is the
most popular and available candidate,
and If actually nominated he might be
induced to accept, as was Seymour.
Although We do not believe any nomi-
nation will be made by this conysn-
ton, yet We sincerely hope there will

FROM NEW YORK.

New York, "a. The Times says that VIM
Il. Travers yesterday settled his North West
trn shorts at 100, with a loss OF S25000O
Charles Lamont faced the music at the same
figure and for about the same sum. 1t is OK
pected that the rest Of the short interest will
be settled tomorrow. The highest estimate
of the amount of stock that Daniel Drew is
short OF is "a 900 chares, and the lowest is
1900 shares. Should he settle in full upon
the closing price of North Western, he will
lose nearly So, 500, 900. Common rumor said
that Henry V. Smith was short &C, 900 shares,
which will involve him to greater extent
than Drew. The opinion is freely expressed
on the street that he will not pay his losses in
full, but let his brokers stand the brunt Of the
contracts. 1t is said that Drew WAS caught
in a trap by device Of Gould, which was in.
genious. Gould went to Drew few weeks
ago, and suggested the possibility of" singing
the street of Erie, in which transaction the
latter was to appear as "bull." Drew joined
in with the idea, and went to work secretly
to buy up large blocks of Erie, locking them
up as fast as purchased. Tn. sock in this
market was soon gobbleJ, and the price of
Erie began to advance. Gould also bought
Erie largely at low figures on the start, but
abstained from purchasing any when it began
to advance. The stock rose to sc -, and
Gould unloadtd his entire interest upon
Drew, netting considerable profit.

dltion in his store, about s o'clock yesterday
morning (22 inst.) He remained unconscious
until about o'clock in the afternoon, when
he ceased to breathe. Mr.. Page was one of
our most benevolent, public spirited, enter
prising and valuable citizens. He has been
in trade in this village more than thirty years,
and was esteemed by every one as man of
strict business integrity and honesty. His
loss will be greatly felt here. No man will
be more missed than he. He was ready for
any public enterprise for the benefit of the
community, kind hearted and benevolent to
all. He was very much interested in the re-
pairs now going forward in the Methodist
church edifce, being one of the building COM
mittee. He leaves wife, son and daughter.

The Arrest OF Jay Gould.

The report of Gould's arrest reached Wall
street just before the close of business hours
on Friday, and caused quite a commotion in
the stock exchange and in the brokers offices.
Many " the leading brokers freely express
ed the opinion that if the accused should be
convicted and punished it would nave most
beneficial fleet on the business community,
ana every owner of railroad stock through
out the world would have good reason to re-
joice.
He was released on one million dollars bail.
Augustus Schell and Horace +. Clark becom-
ing his bOndsmen.
The arrest is said to be the indirect result
of the corner in Erie got up short time ago,
lay which Henry V. Smith and Gould, who
then wRking in unsion, were heavily pressed.
Both these gentlemen vowed to be revenged
upon the Dew clique, and proceeded to lay
their mines, but sudden disagreement ended
their plans and opened bitter quarrel be-
tween them, and war to the knife was declar-
ed. In his anger Smith is said to have re-
marked to one of his friends: "Ill make
that little monkey (meaning Could grind an
organ for his living" and further said that he
would runn him in week. In the mean
time Gould, by SKIN manipulations, managed
to get both Smith and Drew short on North
western, and then run up the stock, as was
done to-day, to 200. 1t is said that Smith
finding himself short, asked Gould to let hin
have 10000 shares Of that stock, threatening
to bring the present suit against him in case
of refusal. Gould, however, would not ac.
cede to the demand, and hence the suit and
present arrest. As Gould lett his office Fri.
day afternoon to give bail at the Sheriff
Office he gave orders to his brokers not to sell
a share of the stock at any price. Travers 4
| Duncan, who became sureties on the order oil
arrest are said to be short on Northwestern
to a considerable amount
1t is ascertaned that the Gould Clique have
''calls" on 10000 shares more than he whole
capital stock Of the company, 50 that North
western is virtually not purchaseable at any
price, except with the good will OF the hold
ers. Expectation is general that the nex
move in the game will be an attempt on the
part of Smith and his allies to obtain from
the Superior Court writs OF injunction agans
the Stock Exchange to prevent the buying ii
of the stock.

Best Time Tor Painting Houses.

The best time for painting the exterior OF
buildings is late in autumn or during the win
ter. Paint then applied will endure twice as
long as when applied early in summer or in
hot weather. In the former it dries slowly
and becomes hard, like glazed surface, no,
easily affected afterwards by the weather, o,
worn off by the beating of storms. But in
very hot weather the oil in the paint soaks in
to the wood at once, as into sponge, leaving
the lead nearly dry and nearly ready to crum-
BILE off. This last difficulty. however, might
in measure be guared against, though at an
increased expense, by first going over the
surface with raw oil. BY painting in cold
weather, one annoyance might certainly be
escaped, namely the collection of small flies
on the fresh paint.-[The Technologst
