CINCINNATI, May 3.-Ths following
double loaded editorial in the Commercial
this morning has attracted the most
marked attention as rejecting the
judgment Of the leaders OF the liberal
Republican movement. The Commercial
backs the article with the question: "Shall
the ticket be Greeley and Brown or Ad.
ANS and Trumbull q and then says,
live may assume that the. Liberal
Convention will survive the pangs to
which 1t is subjected, and pass safely
through the trials incident to the adop.
ton OF platform touching the tariG, the
question will, In our Judgment, arise
speedily whether the ticket shall be Gree.
ley for President, with Gratz Brown
for Vice President, or Charles Francis
Adams, President, with Lyman Trum-
bull for Vice President. ]"
"Let US survey the field and see wheth.
er this is not the state Of the case. The
great combination which was made TO
carry this onvention-Davis and Curtis
has been smashed. Tho Job was over
done, and When exposed and denounced
lts success became impossible. When
Carl Schur2, moved by considerations
above those Of personal friendship or local
association, declined TO use his great In
tiuence to promote the ambition Of GratE
Brown 10 take tho. first place on tho
ticket, there was NO use talking any moro
about Mr.. Brown and that place, and the
Illinois candidates threw each other out
OF the fight. . "a s.Gil % 'r4@es
awe regard Il. entirely certain, there
fore, that either Adams or Greeley viii
be the nominee for the frat oftlce, and the
result may depend upon the combinations
formed as 10 the second plsce on the
ticket Greeley's friends have held New
York with q tenacious grasp, overbearipg

they have hold In Pennsylvania, they
are alarmed about the latent strength Of
Adams in that State In the extreme
South Greeley 10 strong, and in the States

some Of the earliest and most significant
OF Greeley s1etters committing himseli TO
the opposition to Grant appeared IN coun.
