DecsPitatiOn of an Internal Revenue
Supervisor. and n Row I'm Prospect.
Special to the Cincinnati CoIrimericsl.
WAsHINGf6N, Aug. l0.-Federal pat
ronage seems to be sort of two-edged
sword that cuts both ways, much to the
perplexity of those who use this dangerous
weapon. In the brief bulletins of appoint
ments issued by the President during his
visit here on Friday, it was announced that
the name of Kenton r. Cobb was dropped
from the list of Superviscrs of Internal
Revenue, and that John Mcdonald be
substituted in his place in charge of the
Missouri district. The change was ne
cessitated at the time by the demands
Of Western politicians. 1t so happens
that the discharged Supervisor Is a
brother of Clinton L.Cobb, r Idical mem.
Der OF Congress; from the First North Car
DINA District, who is thoroughly enraged
at the treatment of his brother by the Pres
ident, and is now en- route with Senator
Pool, in search Of the Chief Magistrate to
to demand some other position for his IN
fortunate relation. This brace Of Congress
men intended TO demand that Supel visor
Perry, of North Carolina, q earpet-bagger
and who rendered such important services
to the Administration in the late election in
that State, be reelected to make way for
in the old North State.
More AeeessIOns TO the Liberal Move.
smeht.
William NJ. Coleman, who was elected
the Republican Attorney General in North
Carolina in 1868, and who mp TO the present
time has adhered to his party, has Just writ
ten letter declaring for Greeley.
Since the State election, Hon. r. W.
Lsniter, prominent Republican State Sen
ator, has declared to the same effect. The
accessions to the Liberal movement have
been greatly accelerated by the practices of
the Administration party during the State
election.
Oregon Politics.
Advices from Oregon of a recent date TO
the Liberal Campaign Committee here are to
the effect that Greeley will unquestionably
receive the electoral vote of that State. The
railroad influence in that locality propose to
remain neutral in the struggle so far as the
Presidency is concerned, and only to exert
their strength in behalf of the United
States Senator.
Encouraging News from Maine.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Advices from
Maine are encouraging to the Liberals. The
Post, this evening, publishes long letter
from Bangor which carefully reviews the
situation and admits that Greeley may car
ry the State. Among the Liberal orators
who will be at work in Maine this week,
are Trum 1ull ard Farnsworth, of Illinois;
Hon. JnO. Wentworth, General Banks,
Chauncy Depew, R. T. Stockton, A. G..
Thurman, W. A. Wallace, Richard Vaux,
W. S. GrOesbeck, j. G. Irish, of Iowa; 81.
G. Woodbury., of Boston; Judge j. G. Alb
bolt, and General Slocum.
KGreeIey's Prospects I'm New York.
A letter received to-day from Southern
New York, says Tioga county, which usu-
ally gives about 1000 Republican majority,
promises small majority for Greeley. Che
mung, which gave Grant one majority, will
give Greeley 1000. Steuben, usual 1900
to 1000 Republican, will give Greeley a
majority. Allegheny, which is a stronger
Republican county, according to the popu-
lation, than any other in the State, and
which gave Grant 1900, will not give him
700 this year; and this 700 will be for Gree

promised the last of this month. We have
fifteen hundred Seventh-day Baptists, all
Republicans and all Greeley men, naturally.
The Herald ON the Louisville Folly,
The New York Herald says, editorially,
concerning O'Conor's flank movement to
elect Grant: awe entertain the opinion
that this Louisville Convention will prove q
failure; that it comes too late as a third
party movement; and, even should 1t put
ticket into the field with so respectable
name as Charles O'Conor at its head, its
success will be so utterly hopeless and its
mission 80 selfeyident, that in the end its
hest friends will see the folly of throwing
away their votes on it, and viii be divided
between Grant and Greeley, according to
their several inclinations."
