The Times and Chronicle the only of the two Ad-
ministration papers printed in this city this after
noon. has the following touching the Convention
and the prospect:
Horace Greeley is developing unexpected
strength among the Liberals. Adams continues to

the Blairs and cousin Gratz, or thinks the time has

Adams, as the man to Kilkenny. with Davis and clear
the track for the reserve candidate as aforesaid AS
to Trumbul the plain English Of it is that he Is no
any influential quarters: The fact is well known
that he Endorsed Grant last month, and only came
out for the Cincinnati movement after his defeat asa
candidate for reorganization to the Governorship was
time-server, altogether too unstable to tie to. AS
there is O great deal of trouble about the Tariff
plank. why not have it out altogether, and Just
nominate Greeley and Brown; both are sufficiently
pronounced and explicitly understood on that ques-
ton. What is more they represent both sides OF 1T
if that is not the correct thing for Liberal Con-
vention to do we should like to know where
the liberalty is to come in For the present, then
it is Davis and Curtin, or Greeley and
Brown. About Thursday noo.., look out for the new
ticket now slyly kept in reserve The Missouri and
Illinois delegations are openly charging each other
with disposition to cut the threats OF each others
candidates. That sly old politician the hero of nu
Inerous National Conventions, Morrow T. Lowry OF
Pennsylvania is authorized by Gov. Curtin, who is
on his way home from Russia, to say that he will
accept the nomination for Vice-President. Pennsy-
vania Is for Davis The coming issue is, Free Trade
or Projections it is one that cannot be lodged by
subterfuges, and the one which will most severely
task the courage and test the strength Of the Liberal
Democrats and Republicans.
The German Liberal peoples paper, the Volkstlat,
says
In case the nomination Of Mr.. Adams should
prove impracticable we understand that an attempt
will be made to nominate ex-Gov Jacob ID. Cox.
After Mr.. Adams, Cox would certainly be the most
fitting person. Gratz Brown is altogether out of the
question, on account of the strong opposition to
him in his own State of Missouri. Illinois has
three candidates-Messrs. Trumbull, Davis and
Palmer-and this circumstance will prevent
the Convention from taking q candidate from
that State, as the nomination Of either would
embitter the friends of the others. Horace Greeley
is, it is true, a thoroughly honest soul but his
numerous hobbies, especially his Protection and
temperance manias would detract from the strength
of the movement. Curtin is a Pennsylvania. and,
of course, Protectlonist; besides, Pennsylvania
command especial confidence. Evarts of New
York would, perhaps, make very respectable
candidate but. as yet, he has developed strength
Among the nad
candidate, but ii appears to be necessary that the
candidate of the Convention should belong to the
Republican wing of the Liberals In any case, the
success of the movement would be materially
endangered were Mr.. Adams to be dropped, as such
course would be the signal for struggle over the
prize. the consequence OF which no one could
foretell.
The following resolution is the-result of a pro-
tracted discussion of the more moderate Revenue
Reformers, with a view to bring the Germans to
such conditions as Protectionsts will be willing 10
accept:

They exhibit an inclination, however to come to
agreement, in so far as Mr.. Browns interests are
concerned. Adams still holds his position substan
TALLY unchanged. The discussion ON the nomina-
