New YORK, April 26.-The World in a
leading article says if the Cincinnati Con-
vention should prove wise enough and high
toned enough to nominate Charles Francis
Adams as candidate for President the De-
mocratic party will endorse that eminent
Statesman with spontaneous and hearty
plaudits of universal acclamation. In that
case it will be of little consequence
whether the Democratic National Conven-
ton be held or not, as that convention
would merely ratify the foregone conclusion
of the Democratic masses.
'Rah for Greeley.
The Sun says Gen. Merrill and large
number of prominent men sympathizing
with the liberal movement left last night for
Cincinnati. This morning a still larger
number win leave, among others Sinclair
Tousey, Waldo Hutchins, A. Stansberry
and Whitelaw Reid. It's doubtful whether
Horace Greeley will go. The New York
delegation viii probably support Greeley
for President, and Gov. Palmer for Vice
President -
ROCHESTER, N. Y, April 26.-At meet
ing of Liberal Republicans held in this city
to-day among the Republicans designated as
delegates from Monroe county to the Gin
cinnati Convention are Henry r.. Selden,
Thos. Paines, Geo. G. Munger and others

Pacific Units.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The Repub-
lican State Convention ignores the Goat
Island question, endorses Grant and in
structed the delegates to Philadelphia to
vote as a unit for Grant. The press of San
Francisco are a unit on the Goat Island
question. All the leading papers of the
State outside of San Francisco denounce
the scheme as strongly as the San Francisco
press.

tives Of the New York Tribune and Chicago
papers arrived early to-day.

CINCINNATI, April 26.-It is rumored to-
night that trouble is brewing between the
friends of the various candidates from Hi
nOis to be presented at the coming Conven-
ton. How serious it is, has not developed
publicly. There appears to be some disa-
greement relative to the Illinois headquart-
ers. 1t is said the prominent men in the
Illinois Liberal movement have been urged
to come on Immediately. 1t is possible that
the prominence given Adams as a candidate
has more to do with the
commotion than anything else, for the
friends of some of the candidates claim
that Grant will beat Adams in Illinois by an
overwhelming majority, while the friends
of Adams are decidedly numerous here.
There appears to be a great difference OF
opinion as to what the convention will do
Some assert that Gil cumstances may yet
transpire to change the whole aspect of af-
fairs. Persons, prominent in Democratic
councils, say tonight that the Democratic
party will support any man whom the Chi
cagO Tribune, Cincinnati Commercial, New
York Tribune and Springfield Republican
may heartily consent to support, but every
thing is now uncertain save that an i'm
mense attendance is certain to be here.
There appears abroad to be considerable
confusion in the public mind in relation to
the Reunion. and Reform Convention
called at the same time in this city by the
Reunion and Reform Association. This
latter ignores party lines entirely, and the
call was made after the call for the Liberal
Republican Convention, but the movers
assert it was not intended in any way to
embarrass the Liberal Republican move
ment. The Reunion and Reform Conyen-
ton conyenes at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning, and it is thought they will soon
after organization take recess, to be pres
ent at the opening Of the Republican Con-
ventiOn.
The numbers here last night in the inter-
est of the new movement have been rein
forced to-day by others. WatersOn, of the
COwier-J JOBnGI, reached here tonight and
took rooms at the Merchants.
Belmont
has telegraphed that he will be at the st
Nicholas tomorrow on his return from his
shipe-s shooting excursion, but does not say
how long he expects to remain.
