The Geneva Conference.

meeting ct the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the
18th. In conversation with him prior to his
departure, he said in substance, that the
Steinway Hall meeting was intended to call
g subsequent force or conference of Liberals
of the same clsss as those engaged at that
meeting, but it was found that some of those
who were supporting Greeley gave encour-
sgement to the idea of their favering q
movemen, 10 put such a man as Adams in
the field, and on their suggestion terms OF
invitation were extended so as to include
men in the position of Horace White, Schurz,
and Bowles. Mr.. Schurz was willing to
unite in call when this was done. 1t is
understood that a ma ority of the meeting
will be of those who have refused to sup
port Greeley, but enough of other phases of
purposes will be there for full conference,
aud a comparison of all sorts of views.
The gentlemen named above are in no way
com mitted to change their attitudes unless
convinced Of the duty of doing so by con-
ference.
