SEINE reflections on the fact that Greeley
and Brown are both journalists, and that
the nomination of Greeley is largely due to
the support Of the independent press, es-
pecially the Herald, and after reviewing
the names which were before the Cnnve.'-
ton, to show that Greeley was the strong
est and most popular candidate, the Herald
goes into an inquiry as to the nominations
and the probabilities Of the success of the
ticket. 1t has not much faith in the Gin
cinnati movement, points out the weakness
of Greeley's public position, and the strengh
Of Grants, and thinks the followers Of the
latter will require strong temptations to in
duce them to desert his standard. The
canvass will be purely a personal one, for
there is no principle developed in the Gin
cinnati platform. 1t is nothing except the
restlessness Of the country under our foreign
policy, and desire for change. Slighter
considerations have controlled former cleo
tons. Whether they will do so now the
Herald does not undertake to predict.
The Richmond Enquirer says: The
Cincinnati Convention presented the
strongest ticket to the country that could
be presented. As lookers-on in Virginia,
we may be permitted to express the opinion
that Grant will discover this to be the
hardest rock he ever butted his head
ceptable to the people of the South, and if
they have to decide between this and anoth-
er four years Of Grant and his bayOnet rule,
there will not te much hesitancv about
which horn of the dilemma they will take
We think it probable, however, that the
nominations will frighten the Philadelphia
Convention into abandoning Grant, and
we predict great efforts at reconciliation Of
the two wings Of the Republican party"
The Wig will probably support the ticket
whether there is Democratic nomination
or not.
A TriJune's North Carolina dispatch o
the 4th says: - The sentiment here is high
ly favorable to Greeley and Brown. The
ticket will sweep the old North State like a
whirlwind in November"

most important of which is that he will re-
sign the editorship, sell his stock, and re-
tire from the paper. The reason alleged is
that the candidacy would so embarrass the
action of the paper as to deprive it Of its
usefulness in the presidential contest.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin says: at is
certainly gratifying to our brethren of the
press that an editor should be able to
squelch the long list of lawyer candidates
before the election. x The nomina-
ton is certainly one of the greatest tri-
umphs of the editorial profession over a
corps of ofhce-seeking lawyers" After
speaking of his popularity with various
parties, enumerating among others the
MormonS and the colored people, the lVis-
