The nomination OF Horace Greeley
took tho country BY surprise, as 1t
doubtless did a majority OF tho men,
bers OF tho Convention. Senator
Trumbull, OF Charles Francis Adams Or
Judge Davis had been confidently pre-
disted o. the mao who should lead the
Liberals. Undoubtedly either CT the
6rst two would, have made much
stronger candidate, in view Of the fact
that the thovough cooperation Of the
Democracy is essential to any possible
success of the new movement. Both
these gentlemen are natural Conserva'
tives-Horace Greeley is and always
has been Radical in everything, and
one of the hardest foes the Democratic
PARTY has bad to meet. That party
cannot be expected to rally around its
old enemy with the enthusiasm and
earusstness necessary to vigorous CAM
paigu.> The New York World speaks
Of him IS "the most hated and con:
spicaous opponent Of the Democratic
party in the country" and says the
action of the: Convention "leaves the
Democratic party entirely free to await
the developments ofthe immediate fu.
.ture, and opens the way for possible
Democratic victory"
The Chicago Times regards the sup
port Of Greeley BY the Democratic voters
a. . "oholce::of evils" and awaits the
action of the National Convention be-
fore committing itself: Whatever
scattering and halfway endorsements
this ticket may now receive from that
party, the coming Presidential cam
paipu will show q distinctive Democrat
10 ticket 10 the field, interested in the
Liberal nominees only as auxiliaries fol
the defeat Of Gen. Grant. The masses
Of the Democracy are tenacious Of thei'
party name, and will demand oandi
date who will sail under it. The ma
io.ity Of them favor Free Trade; aud
can hardly be brought to accept a lie
long Proteetionist on . non'commsttaI
platform. Any organised support o
Mr.. Greeley by the Democracy canno
be looked for, just As hearty afihatior
between Republicans and that party il
impossible On any issues which hav
been raised for q national campaign.
t. With the Republican party Mr.Gree
ley is much stronger as . man aud
journalist than q . political candidate
His unquestioned honesty and his lonl
services in tho Anti-Slavery cause hav'
given him great hold upon the party
but ono which can not be made availa
bio 10 . contest lie this. While hon
eat, hs is cratic and credulous; Will
meaning we'll, he would be weak in th
hands Of politicians and olitical rings
while q powerful editor, he would Be
pooe President. Whatever evils tn
country may be suffering under woul
have little prospect Of eradication b
=. tho change. Republicans generally AZ
prsoiate this, and will do little t

Pc The prospect At present looks muc
like this: The Republican Conver
ton at Dhlladelphla WILL re'homina'

will make a nomination Of its own an
MI. Greeley, preferring the re-electio
Of Con. Grant to the complete success
Of the Democracy, will withdraw.
