Speeches were made by Geo. Hoadley
and Judge Brinkenhoff. Mr.. Hoadley
said he had rather take stock in Grant
than in this ticket; that this was the
first triumph of the new Tanmsny
! ring, &c. Judge Brinkenhoff spoke
against the nomination, but not go NO
lently as Mr.. Hoadley. He said he
was authorized to say that the senti.
ments he expressed would be endorsed
by Stanley Mathews.
A German delegate said the Germans
of Ohio could not support the ticket
The mass Of the delegation, however
favor supporting the ticket. The dele
gates adjourned without taking formal
action.
A meeting OF representatives OF Ger
man papers, who were attending the
Convention, was held tonight, at which
speeches violently denouncing the nom
nations were made, but no definite &C
ton was taken.
None Of the German papers OF Gin
cinnati will commend the ticket. The
Volkstrcund (Democrat) will denounce
the ticket in strong terms. The Potks'
6Lan and Courier Republican, will come
out tomorrow against the ticket. hrt
will not commit themselves to the Phil.
adelp nominees.
The Commercial, Republican. will take
the ground that she ticket is very strong
and one that will sweep the South and
Pacific coast. The nomination is
hardly up to the requirements OF the
times, nevertheless il will support the
ticket.
The Enquirer will come out with a
strong eulogy Of Mr.. Greeley and in
commentator OF the ticket and the
Convention in making such strong
ticket.
New YORK, Nav 3.-The following
is copy OF the Tribuns's leading edito-
rial tomorrow morning:
THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
We make no comments on the ticket
adopted yesterday at Cincinnati. The
people, without distinction OF party, are
considering it, and will in due time in.
dicate their judgment thereon. The
platform has been throughout an object
OF much greater solicitude than the
nominations, and our interest has cen.
tired in what should he said bearing on
protection and free trade. There is an
honest and serious difference among
Republicans and Reformers on this
question. Our convictions are
strong on the one side. Others
at least equally patriotic and intelligent
hold opinions antagonistic to ours. We
did not wish the Convention to say that
we were right; we did not see with
with what propriety-to what profit it
could pronounce us in the wrong To
declare for either protection or free
trade would repel some, perhaps many,
from the support Of the Liberal move.
ment, while it would win over no oppo-
nent to that movement. We therefore
urged the Convention simply to remit
this question to the people, as on which
we are not agreed, asking them to pro.
nounce judgment thereon in the choice
OF members of Congress, by whom, and
not by the Executive, it must be dis
cussed and decided. This view, we
rejoice to say, has prevailed,
but its prevalence is no triumph over
free trade, much less over revenue re-
form, be that what it may. 1t is simply
a reference of the whole eubject to the
decision Of the people, unprejudiced by
any dictum OF the Convention. If the
majority are for free trade or against
it, they are in nowise precluded by the
Liberal platform from making their
Judgment known and respected. On
the contrary, they are exhorted to do
so, with the assurance that their wish
thus authentically expressed shall not
be overborne by Executive power This
is as we think it should be, and we do
not see why any who have faith in the
people should be alienated or offended
by such re erence OF the subject
The Star endorses Greeley's nomins-
ton and thinks Adams nomination, on
account of his un-Americanism which
make him unpopular with the majority
of the voters, would have been the
last ticket the Irish would support.
Greeley is the only candidate who can
unite the opp,sit on in all sections OF
the country and will be supported
because the people believe him to be
an honest man, and because he has
ideas Of his own and knows how to
express them. For nearly forty years
Greeley has stood at the lead Of the
American press and never yet made a
mistake which called forth censure OF
his conireres.
The Stats Zeitung asserts that all the
Germans will consider the Cincinnati
Convention a complete failure. 1t pro-
tests not so much against the candidates
and platform as against the manner in
which the Convention has been con-
Quoted and by which it has been proved
that the leaders had no true idea Of a
liberal reform movement. 1t was not
a peoples Convention but politicians
Convention, and thus the principal
object OF the movement was defeated.
Some defects Of the platform would
have been overlooked if the candidates
were great men or statesmen.
But, although good men they be, they
are not upto the requirements OF the
situation. There cannot be the least
hope of any support Of this ticket by the
Germans The Stats Zsitung considers
it great misfortune that the originators
of this movement did not enter into it
on a broader basis. 1t rejoices at the
report that the Reunion and Reform
Convention will start a new movement
entirely non-partisan, which, although
it does not give much encouragement
TOR the Presidential campaign, will
finally accomplish all the objects of the
true reformeis.
