that when In national convention assembled they
will take such action will lead TO the defeat OF
Grant and the election Of the ticket presented at
Cincinnati. As between Grant and Wilson of Mas

the democracy but one choice.
The Banner says the ticket cannot fail to COM

OF its truly national platform, which was and Ia its
superstructure ought possess irresistible strength
and satisfy the liberal sentiment OF the whole
country. The ticket il strong one, Notwithstanding
the fact that Its nomination was effected through
agencies not altogether uncommon to nominating
conventions and smacking little too much OF po-
lcal intrigue to be entirely in accord with the I'M
selfish patriotism which inspired the liberal move

The Boston Post, q leading democratic paper,
speaking OF the Cincinnati Convention and its nomi
nations, SAYS
Proposing lofty results, with which the people
everywhere were in active sympathy, when II came
to the application Of its means 1t failed miserably.
Few persons In their sober senses will deny that
the selection OF Horace Greeley, by an assembly,
so powerfully equipped with the popular sympathy,
as a candidate for the Presidency is Q disappoint-
ment for which they were not prepared:
The Boston Advertiser heads a leading editorial
on the subject ''The Ridiculous Mnss," ana says
the reckless joke Of the New York sun has been
gentlemen, who called themselves to a task OF
statesmanship by nominating for President "the
great ana Hn good Horace Greeley" ,orsro r,r,on
OF the republicans is that Mr.. Greeley h decidedly
the best nominee whom the Cincinnati Convention
could have selected for the benefit Of the republi-
can party"

pudiate Greeley, whose appearance in the field is
simply threat Of injury to the republican candi-
date, giving new hopes to the democracy
The Gazette democratic Organ) says 1.-THE demo-

WASHINGTON, May 4, 1872.
The chronicle OF to-day, in a leader on the Gin
cinnati platform and candidate, says:-'They may
perhaps appeal to some few thousand more of the
republicans than those who assisted In the Conven
ton, but the great mass of the party will see with
unerring instinct the real meaning OF the action OF
the liberals and refusing to be scduced refuse to
aid in the destruction OF the republican party.n
The Republican says:-.The Cincinnati C0nven-
ton had u chance to give trouble to the republican
party in the coming campaign, but it threw it
away. The nomination OF Mr. Adams would have
been formidable. 1t would have raised the entire
movement into the upper atmosphere Of states
manship and responsibility. 1t would have made
an inroad into the party-appealed to its traditions
and aspirations. 1t would have divided, If any
thing could have divided, the republican ranks.
Mr. Greeey's nomination will utterly fail of these
