any how; forty-fve favor Democratic
but are ready to support
the Baltimore candidate, whoever he
may be; one opposes Greeley, but thinks
it best to nominate liberal Republican
and only six think that Greeley is ''the
best that can be DONE
Brick Pomeroy says Greeley insulted
the Republicans who for years have
stood by him, and in boiling the party
and setting himself up a god, re-
veals himself as mere office-seeker, and
turns into active workers against him
the honest old Republicans who for
years have looked upon him as devoted
to the party rather than self.
While there is every reason for an
ticipating the Endorsement Of Greeley
and Brown at Baltimore, it must not be
taken for granted that this course will
not meet with bitter and determined
opposition from many of the old-time
leaders of the party. In the South, men
like A. Fl. Stevens, Robert TOombs, Ben
Hill and Judge Linton in the North,
such men as Judge Jere. Black, Charles
O'Conor, Senators Thurmon and Casser-
ly, will strive against this surrender,
and in the event of failure will do moth
ing to help it forward in the coming
campaign.
ANOTHER NoMINATIoN.-A confer
ence of the "disgruntled' Liberals, a."
who find Greeley's nomination hard
pill to swallow, was held at New York
last Thursday, but the meeting began
and ended in talk and amounted to
nothing. On Friday few of the ere
formers held supplementary confer
ence and nominated VIM. S. Groesbeck
of Ohio for President and Fred Law
Olmstead of New York for Vice-Presi-
dent.
Voorhees, absolutely refuses to 60 to
Baltimore, and firmly says: 81 would
rather, of dark night, risk the peril

The Louisville Courier-Jounral puts
the whole philosophy of the Democratic
support of Greeley in a few words:
Greeley may De, and doubtless is OBJ
iectionable to the Democracy, but no
other means of defeating the Radical
party offers, and Democrats have no
other choice than to accept him. a tter
the snake has been killed. aoe shall haze
1t IN oar poacer to do as ace please.
The Democracy have yielded no jot or
title of their designs-they are simply
playing 'possum. But we notify the
Courier-J Journal that that snake isn't
killed yet, nor does it propose to be for
some years yet.
Alex. H. Stephens believes that if
the Democratic party (old Style can be
united and move in solid phalanx to
the support of a sound Democratic plat
form, he can be triumphantly elected.
But unfortunately for Alex. the party is
moving like paralyzed mob to the sup
part of an old Abolitionist, upon no
platform at all, to most triumphant
defeat. Mr.. Stephens lays down impos-
sible conditions.
Some men reply to slanderous charg-
es by Incorporate language and by coun-
ter charges. Others take advantage
of the "logic of events and when time
has proved all charges false, simply
point to the record. This is better than
to call any narrow-minded bigot or care
less scribbler liar. President Grant
is the most patient man under assault
that has ever occupied the place, aud il
vindicating himself from charges made
by reckless men, the most successful.
Robert Ould, ex-rebel Commissioner
for the exchange of prisoners is a candi
date for Congress in Richmond, Va, OF
the Greeley ticket To make sure of thu
votes of the Federal soldiers who were
unfortunate enough to fall into thu
hands of the rebels, the Greeleyite
ought to raise the ghost of Capt. Wirz
and run him for something.
More reform! Ben Wood, the lotter,
man, headed the list of Vice-President
of the Greeley ratification meetings, ant
John Morrissey, gambler, was the Eeav
lest contributor to the expenses thereof
Both Morrissey and Wood were in Tam
many. "Rah for Greeley and reform !!
Mr.. Tweed, of New York, support
Mr.. Greeley in the interest Of purity il
governmental matters. Messrs. Connol

with Mr. Tweed in this matter.
A young man in Pennsylvania ha
written to Greeley offering to supper
