A Philadelphia correspondent Of the New
York Herald writes as follows concerning an
interview with Colonel A. X. Mcclure =
With little ado asked:--
;" How are you satisfied with the work Of the
CINCINNATI Convention ?''
McCiure-l was not of those whose counsels
prevailed IN the action Of the convention
Twp leading theories were pressed upon that
| body: One favored the selection Of tile candi.
tiate known to he most acceptable TO the Dem.
ocrats, the other insisted upon nominating
the man who con.d command the largest Re.
publican strength. l favored the first named
policy, which confined me to Davis and
Adams, and supported Adams, who was the
strongest ct the two; but the other prevailed
in the convention, and Mr. Greeley was un-
donbtedly the man to fill the bill. At the time
doubted the wisdom of the policy that con
.rdlle, the convention. 1t was all experiment.
btit, II successful, 1t promises overwhelming
success, while the other policy regarded as
making a union OF the opponents of Grant
certain, and thereby removing all doubts as to
success. But the developments of popular
feeling since the ticket has been before the
country have fully vindicated the wisdom Of
the policy that prevailed at Cincinnati; and
now doubt whether a nomination suggested
by Democratic rather than Republican favor
/ would have met the present emergency. There
!, would have been but tittie Republican enthu.
siasm for either Davis Or Adams, while Il
large majority Of the Republicans Of the nation
