Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-AlI interest in
political movements has flown frsm Wash.
luSton to Cincinnati, and information from
that point is sought for here with the greatest
avidity. Private dispatches from that city
have been received here to-day in great nun.
Der, and contain evidence that the movemen,
has expanded to proportions beyond the
most sanguine expectations of its adherents
and sympathizers. There is perfect ava
lanche of speculations indulged as to The
probable candidates, and Judging from pri
vate as we'll rs press kilograms from CincIn
natl, it appears that no positive indication:
can be derived OIL this matter until fuller
consultations between the leading delegates
to the Convention have taken place than W
to this time have been possible. There is
noticeable evidence here of the anxiety fell
by the Administration and its friends con.
cernlng events about to transpire at the Con
vcntion.
The New York Tribune. received here
tonight, says the general comparison oI
notes indicates, in the main, the few over.
shadowing names desired for the head of the
ticket. AS the tide rises with increasing
numbers, the current intensifes on three OF
four men who are mmistakably strong be.
fore that part of the Convention so far at hand
These are Judge Davis, Lyman Trumbull,
Charles Francis Adams, u. Gratz Brown,
and Ex-Governor Cox.
The loudcst talking is for Davis, the
strongest for Adams, the most boastful for
Brown, while the friends of Trumbull and
Cox counsel frequently, and rely OH the gen.
eral conviction Of the delegates assembled to
decide the issue. The same dispatches also
say that Mr.. j. D. DeFrees, who is regarded
here is one Of the ablcst workers in the par
tv, declares, after diigent canyassing, that
Judge Davis is beyond question the coming
man. In support of this he claims, from
correspondence, ETC., large part Of the dele.
cations from the District Of Columbia, Ore
gon, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, fiji
nois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, North
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, New
Hampshire, Virginia, and West Virginia
and that after the first vote Missouri, Col
orado, and KANSAS, will fall in line for the
Judge.
The World kilograms from Cincinnati say
that Mr.. Adams's prospect for nomination is
Frightening, but, in addition, says the only
difficulty is not that he lacks popularity OF
political availability, but that the managing
politicians in the ranks Of the Liberal Re.
publicans and Democrats desirous of cO0pc.
rating in the Cincinnati movement had made
their arrangements in view of the nomna
ton of other candidates, mostly from the
West. Various other speculations are fur
nished from different sources, but the above
are judged to have the most substantial basis
Most of the politicians think that either Da'
sis or Adams VIII be nominated. TIMoN.
