AND CALLS FOR AN EARLY MEETING OF THE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The nomination Of
Greeley by the Cincinnati Convention, while
it excites mirth in all high political circles,
seriously changes the probable programme.
The Democratic leaders were virtually
pledged to the Cincinnati movement, with
Judge Davis as the standard bearer, but now
the shrewdest politicians predict O square
Democratic ticket.
In view of the interest taken in the proba-
bic action of the Democratic party the fol-
lowing from the New York World is tele-
graphed. 1t editorially expresses profound
surprise ut the result in Cincinnati and says:
"Adams, who proved by far the strongest OF
all the candidates, and who had been eX-
pected to be strong in the Convention, might
haze been cordially endorsed by the World,
as he would have been cordially supported
by the Democratic party. Greeley can re-
ceiye no such endorsement, nor has he any
reason to expect such support, The Con-
NSuGIUu liuD CHOSCll W tuC uIost
hated and conspicuous opponent of the
Democratic party in the country. 1t called
for revenue reform, and it has selected the
most jealous of Protectionists. This leaves
the Democratic party entirely free to await
the developments of the Immediate future,
and opens the way for a possible Democratic
victory"
The World reserves its judgment until the
,f La National -a,,fin f, 1,n
called next week by the National Committee
meeting in this city. The World recon-
mends an early date for the assembling OF
the Convention.
DISSATISFACTION AMONG THE OHIO DELEGATES.
C1NcINSARI, May "A meeting of Ohio
delegates was held at College Hall, which was
composed of the Ohio delegation to the Libe
raj Convention, and which turned to be very
stormy. Judge w. B. Sloane, of Port Clin-
ton, presided A large number of delegates
made speeches, and some of them were de-
mandatory and exciting, while others
counselled moderation and consideration.
Among the most prominent was Judge
Hoadley, who was one Of the Committee on
Resolutions. He said that Judge Matthews
thc temporary chairnlan) and John W.
John, as we'll as himself, had left the Con-
vention in disgust,
Judge Sloane said lie had been originally
an Adams man, but there WIS no evidence
that Greeley and his friends had practiced
fraud upon the Convention, and until he lad
such evidence he should adhere to the nonli-
ton. He believed it was for the interests of
The country that there should be complete
change in the Administration of the Govern
ment. He counselled them to be cllm and
Il. Il .
Several delegates said they were diSsatiS-
fed with the nomination, but would support
the ticket, and counsclled moderation.
Judge Brinkenhoti was not yet ut will to
say he would vote for Grant, but he would
not vote for Greeley.
Judge Burnett said he now felt dslieart-
cned and discouraged. He didn't think thu
civil service reform had anything to hope for
from m the hands of such men. Greeley was
honest, progressive, and liberal in his views,
vet he was man of crochets. He had no
Judgment of men. His political friends and
associates in New York were among class
Of men who did not enjoy public confidence,
who were nearly allied to Tammany corrup-
ton. Though he was deeply grieyed ut tlls
result of the nomination. he thought they
ought to maintain their organization for
future work, and not take hasty steps which
they might repent.
Judge Spalding and Mr. Smith, Of Colum-
biana county, came TO the defence of the Con-
yention. The latter. in his remarks, said that
Greeley was among the first to fight Tam
many; whereupon several persons arose, say
ing he did not, but that he rather defended
them.
Judge Hoadley again got the floor. and
charged that Tammany had triumphcd. He
said he would defeat Greeley and Brown il
he had to vote for Grant to do it. He was
no ottice-seeker, but WAS after men to pun
ish them before they got their hands Oh tie
public treasury.
A number of others spoke for md against
the nominations, aud finally, after IL long scs-
sion, a motion to adjourn prevailed.
