THE GREELEY CAMPAIGN.

THE GREELEY CAMPAIGN.
SIGNIFICANT ACTION OF THE KEY
STONE STATE DEMOCRATS.
Gas Goes Pennsylvania, 30 Goes tho
Country
Allaccounts from the Pennsylvania State
Democratic Convention ut Reading last week
concur In representing the prevailing feeling
! to be decidedly in favor Of the Cincinnati
ticket. The nomination of Mr. Buekalew for
Governor was dictated by that feeling. This,
In our judgment, Is decisive of the Presden-
tial election. The two great States OF New
York and Pennsylvania, solid with the South,
give two hundred and three electoral votes,
or nineteen more than majority, and settles
the matter. This leaves out of view New
Jersey 9, Indiana II, California 6, Oregon 3,
and Connecticut Gall considered certain
for the Philosopher of Chappaqna- say
nothing of New Hampshire, Maine, Nebraska,
Illinois. Iowa. Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio,
where all the signs have an awful squintiDg
Greeey-ward. From present indications we
should neither be startled nor aslounded II
Mr.. Grant did not receive the electoral vote OF
single State.
The Reading correspondent OF the New
York Tribune gives the following cheerful
particulars:
THE STANDING OF Mr.. BUCKALEw.
The election of Mr.. Bnckalew Is an undoubt-
| ed triumph for the Liberal Democrats. While
he has never publicly expressed himself IN
favor of the Cincinnati movement, he Is gene
F, rally known to incline towards 1t. and Is said
| 10 have privately expressed himself In favor
of an endorsement OF Mr. Greedy a. at BALI
more He is, in every seDge, Lipriai mah,
and will be supported, it 10 cIalmeu, oy @ lug
Republican element opposed 20 dartranlt. his
io ali parties. The Cass men came forward
frankly after his nomination was announced,
and expressed their determination to Work
heartily for his election.
That he Is the candidate whom the Liberal
Republicans desired Is evident from the fact
that several Repub lean papers will support
him. Tue Lancaster Daily Express. the only
Republican daily in that city, The Lancaster
Enterprise and the Greeley Tribune, botn
Republican w-ekies, will all heartily support
him. The Philadelphia Enquirer will not
oppose him. The Wayne Cinzen aud other
Republican papers throughout the State WILL
also support him. A Republican from Lancas-
ter County said this afternoon that his county,
which has given 1000 Republican votes, would
not pol 1000 against Buckaew.
The man who did more ethan any one else to
secure the nomination of Buckalew was VIM.
A. Wallace, chairman OF the state Democratic
commiltee. He is strongly 10 favor of Mr..
Greeley. and his support of BuekaleW Is an
other Indication of the latter gentleman's posi-
ton.
THE GREELEY SENTIMENT.
One of the most significant indications of
to-day has been the remarkably rapid deVel-
opment of the sentiment In favor of Mr.. Gree
lev. A prominent Democrat asserts positively
io.nioht that careful canvass has been made
OF ali the delegates, aud thai there is majorl-
tv of thirty-,hree In favor of endorsing Mr..
Greeley outright. This majority is increasing
every moment. The men whom Nj. Greeley
speaks Of very nnfavorably In hls American
confllct-Judge George VI. Woodward and The
Hon. Francis w. Hughes-are both very out
spoken for mis- endorsement at Baltimore, and
are most Jealous OF any men here In adVocat-
Ing the expediency of giving him Democratic
support The fact that these men are willing
TO forget past differences, and even personal
disparagemrnt, has had powerful effect upon
those who have opposed Mr.. Greeley because
of his former abuse OF Democrats. The rtso-
lulions, which will be reported tomorrow.
will refer the whole question OF national poll
tics TO the Baltimore Convention. Wpile the
friends OF Mr.. Greeley have q certain majority
they consider IT, better policy not TO force any
action upon tho convention, and thus disturb
itS HARMONY There i5 no doubt but that The
delegation TO Baltimore will Ue largely III
favor Uf Greeley endorsement.
General Cass will De nominated by accama-
ton In the convention tomorrow u head the
delegation To Baltimore. He says this Is
more acceptable 10 him than the nomination
for Governor would have been.
The correspondent OF the Philadelphia Post
(Republcan) confirms the same statement:
ENTHUSIASM FOR GREELEY.
There Is no doubt but what those who are
opposed to Greeley and In favor OF straight
out Democratic nomination are considerably
dcmoraIizeu by the enthusiasm tor The phiioso-
pner. They expected the Democratic masses
would respond to the calls Of the Democratic
press, aud follow In the paths laid out by the
Age, OF Philadelphia, aud Post, OF PlLtsbrrg,
but they find their hopes are not realized
that the Democracy, or at least tue large
voting masses OF that party, feel that the only
salvation for the Democratic party is In the
SUCCESS of the Cincinnati nominees.
That such Is The sentiment OF the majority OIL
the convention there can be no question. II
was demonstrated In tho hotels last night In
| the cheers that Frank w. Hughes brought
forth, and in the convention Itself this morn.
| ing, and when trank Moore tried to instrucr
| The delegates TO Baltimore 10 vote for no man
| VINO was not u sLralght-ouL Democrat.
Although The convention had au hour prey-
ous adopted resolution that permitted the
reading of all resolutions on their production,
when lnis one of Moore's was brought up II
was met by the most derislve shouts and calls
| from all parts of the convention lOr The sus-
pension OF lis rules.
Colonel Forney's Press sadly confesses the
same truth:
Mr.. Greeley's chances OF receiving the en-
dOrsement of the convention are steadily
growing, and the feeling In his favor nov
predOminales. 1t Is probable that that part
ct the platform relating to the Liberal move
| ment aud the Baltimore Convention will be
modelled after The R ,chester resolution, on
which only one cOnslruction-the approval o1
/ Horace Greeley-can be placed.
