NOTES ABOUT THE TICKET.

The Richmond Wing says if tn
World persists in opposing the Cincin
natl movement, and, withits paid allie
in that work, is successful, it will hav,
"the satisfaction of seeing all our hope
of redemption effectually extinguished
1t will have nipped in the bud the fair
est and most promising project we have
ever had for rescuing the country from
the grasp of Radicalism, and will hav,
aided in giving Grant, Morton, Conk'
ling q Co. a new lease of power. Some
are so uncharitable as to think that such
is the real object of that paper"
The st. Louis Republican, which con.
tinues TO do effective work for the ticket,
says: Between Greeley and a Demo.
cratic Congress, and Grant and a Radi-
cal Congress, a Democrat ought not tC
hesitate an instant; yet this is the soil
tary choice. All the Democratic
National Conventions that can assem-
bic this year cannot alter it. The pre-
sentation of a third ticket, instead OF
widening the field of choice, would, in
reality, narrow it down to Grant, and
make him the inevitable next Presi-
dent.r
Don Piatt, in the Capitol, says "Gree-
ley Will get the votes of all the negroes
in the country, and all the whites of the
South. We know him to be honest,
and he will get the votes of all honest
men. In short, he will get the
votes of everybody except the office
holders
The Lynchburg VA Urgbaidn as
sures its readers that the Cincinnati tick
ct has been Endorsed by the better class
of the people from Maine to California,
even the most incorporating BOur-
bons preferring Greeley to Grant, and it
only remains for the Democratic party
to ratify the nominations of the next
President and Vice-President of the
United States. Should their prejudices
outweigh their patriotism, however,
and a Democratic ticket be nominated,
the Grant party will have their work
ready done to their hands, and Ulysses
the First will quietlyprepare foranOther
and outrage upon the people.
The Kansas Democratic Standard
speaks assuringly. 1t says that "no
Democratic nominations will be made,
and the great body Of that party will
vote for Greeley and Brown. And why
not? The platform embraces doctrines
for which we have contended for years.
Its principles and demands are precisely
such as would be embodiedin a platform
of the National Democratic party"
The New York correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, in attendance upon the
meeting Of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, assures his read
ers that the interchange of opinion of a
majority Of Democrats now in New
York from other sections of the country,
indicates very clearly that the mass of
the people, composing the Democratic
Conservative party, accept the pla torn
and candidates of the Cincinnati Con-
vention as the only true and proper solu-
ton of our national political troubles;
and so decided and Outspoken is this
more especially in the Southern
and Southwestern States, that, added
to the large Liberal Republican vote
existing in those States, it is
apparent that the running of a Radical,
a Liberal Republican and a third and
;traight-out Democratic ticket, would
result in the success of the Radical ad-
ninistration party in nearly all, if not
ali, of those States.
1t is printed in more quarters than
)ne that Grant, under certain circum-
stances, would withdraw. The Baltimore
Sun says so, and the New York Herald
'ays that Whispered suggestions that
Blaine or Boutwell, would make a
better run against Greeley than Grant,
nave grown in strength of utterance,
until now they are talked aloud in the
and at the Capital. The
number of Democrats who have retreat
ID from their declarations of opposi-
ion to the Cincinnati nominations is
to-day than it was yesterday,
md will be still greater tomorrow. In
act, it is now among the probabilities,
s well a the possibilities, of the future,
hat Mr.. Greedy win receive the Dem
cratic Endorsement"
Colonel Mosby, the renowned Vir-
inia partisan, had AN interview with
rant recently, and before leaving the
resident, said: "You Republicans
ught to anticipate Greeley in his
,rthcoming letter of acceptance by pro-
universal amnesty, and thus
scure the Southern people" To
lis the Baltimore SVn says: "Intima-
ons have come from Washington that
lis last thing is actually contemplated :
y the Radicals, with a view of helping ]
cause, thus virtually confessing I
nat it is not in kindness to the Southern
nor In the interests ofjustice and
