WASHINGTON, April 8, 1S12.-TheTe was
a private conference yesterday of hall
dozen of the Cincinnati Conventionlsts
and a further scheme Of plotting was agreed
upon. The most important thing that has
been developed in this direction, how
ever. is the vigorous and persistent push
which Gratz Brown and his friends are
making for the nomination at that ConVen-
ton It is now known that this effort is sys-
tematic, earnest and vigorous, and what
IS more, that it has every prospect OF sue
cess. Browns friends claim that he will
have more positive strength than any other
man who viii be presented, and this is UNI
dOubtedly true. for he will be pressed ur-
gently by Missouri, which State will be more
largely represented in the convention than
any her. Then he will have the support
of Kentucky and Tennessee, and also that
of the principal men in the movement from
Ohio. who have also declared that they can
not support Davis or Trumbul This
renders Browns friends very confident, and
very naturally they are contemplating the
chances for the second place on the ticket.
Having in view the adjustment Of sectional
differences, and with the idea of getting Res
publican strength, they have resolved TO
bring out Mr. Greeley as the candidate for
Vice-P President. This arrangement, they
believe, will adjust every interest, both of
principle and locality, and prove the strong
est combination that can be formed. The
public may therefore rest assured that the
cry of the majority of the Convention will be
"Gratz Brown and Greeley" This ar
rangement suits all the Conventions here
save the few friends of Judge Davis
and they are expected soon to fall in, as,
since his nomination has been repudiated
so emphatically by the leading Labor Re
form organizations, he is fast being aban-
doned as an impracticable candidate. 1t
is now conceded that there is no chance for
Trumbull, notwithstanding his strong
desire, the majority of the movers regard
ing him as even more impracticable than
Judge Davis, especially with the Labor Re-
formers, while he is vastly more open to as
saults in respect to his Senatorial record.

NEW YORK, April J.-The Union Re
publican General Committee of New \ Ork
will hardly venture to meet again, after It's
experience Of last night, until after the Gin
cinnati Convention. About twenty men,
bers of late have been absenting themselves
habitually, among them Horace Greeley,
Whitelaw Reid, George Wilkes and Sin
clair. Though about one hundred members
put in their appearance last evening, the
Cincinnati element was found so strong and

cause only by pushing through an adjourn
ment sine die. One prominent German
created great excitement by proposing 20
send a delegation of twenty-one to the Gin
cinnati Convention. The proposition met
with so much demOnstrative approval that
the Office holding element had no recourse
but to adjourn in haste amid confusion and
disorder. A personal quarrel sprang up at
the close of the meeting between Messrs.
Gridley and COnOver, but their friends pre-
vented an encounter.
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW YORK, April 5.-An old and long
headed Republican, who was member of
the New York Senate twenty-five years
ago, has sounded the leaders of both parties
in this State, and found the Greeley and
FentOn Republicans almost unani-
nous for Cincinnati and the Demo-
Gratis patiently waiting for their
time to strike decisive blow. In closing
a letter to the Sun he says: ''Of one thing
all may feel assured; the influential minds
in the Democratic party of New York are
determined to take the course which will
most certainly lead to the defeat of Grant
10 November, and in this supreme hour
they will set their faces against embarrass-
ing the main issue by minor or irrelevant
issues"
