THE CINCINNATI NOMINATIONS
Are still the universal topic of discussion here
in all circles. There is not quite the same dis
position to laugh that was exhibited Friday
night, ard as the matter is regarded with sober
ness, politicians on both sides are found who
admit that it is among the possibilities that the
Cincinnati ticket may have very important
effect on the presidential campaign. The shrewd-
estrepublicans here see danger ahead; aud are
not inclined to underestimate Greeley's strength
in certain states. Senator Wilson fayors a kind
bearing towards the liberal republicans, for he
says it may happen that we shall need their
votes in the closely contested states; and il is
not good policy to drive them fIom us by
jeers and taunts Senator Conkling processes to
be greatly delighted at Greeley'S nomination,
and asserts that New York will give Grant forty
thousand majority. His opinion, however, on
that point, is not regarded as of much value, as
he is not a shrewd politician.
The democrats are disappointed and angry.
Fernando Wood says that Greeley's nomination
will re-elect Grant, for he presumes that the
democratic party will have ticket of its own;
and before November he believes that the people
will range themselves on one side or the other,
and that the third party ticket will not re-
ceiye votes enough to affect the re-
suit. A large number of the democratic
members believe that Greeley will poll
enough votes in Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsyl-
Vania, to give those states to the democrats; ;
and therefore they urge the prompt nomination
of a regular democratic ticket. 1t is only here
and there that a democrat is found who sees
that this is a blunder which will re-eect Grant
The theory most popular here just now is that
Fenton concocted the scheme of Greeley'S NOM
ination, that it was got up to trade with, and
that proposition will be made to back down
from the movement if Grant is with
drawn, and Colfax, Blaine, or somebody
else nominated at Philadelphia There is no
doubt that fierce onslaught will be made on
Grant during the next three weeks, with the
idea of compelling his Withdrawals; but it will
not succeed. If it fails, the next attempt will
be made on the democrats. They will be
threatened with the abandonment of the move
ment unless they take up Greeley. The result
of which everybody who is not crazy admits
would be the election of Grant.
CIVIL RIGHTS.
Mr.. Sumner is crowding his bill for mixed
schools in this district. 1t will probably pass
the senate, but not the house. Mr.. Ferry of
Connecticut has offered an amendment which
may destroy the bill. 1t allows the people of
the district to vote on the proposed change. 1t
is safe to say that three-iourths of the voters
here are opposed to it. The present system of
separate schools is working well, and there is
no demand for the proposed change.
THE TARIFF VIEWS OF BANKS.
Congress did little business of importance yes
terday. General Banks made fine tariff speech
in the house. If it could be spoken in hun
dred places over the country, it would have a
good effect upon the tariff controversy. He
would not strike down any industrial interest,
but would lOp off the taxes and the duties as
fast as is safe. He startled the house by advo-
eating the immediate reduction of one hundred
millions. SAM WELLER.
