How the Nominations are Received

How the Nominations are Received
WHAT THE NEw YORK TIMES SAYS.
NEW YORK, Nav 4.-The Fines to-day terms
tue Cincinnati nominations a sad farce. but
thinks II will have a good result If IL leads the
republican leaders 20 make their proceedings AZ
Philadelphia worthy of the present crisis Such
men a. Grant and COltaN are infinitely superior
TO Greeley and Brown. They will not plunge
the country into any wild disorder, or any new
troubles, nor harrass the commercial classes by
yexatious experiments. In their hands we ran
no risk of finding ourselves embroiled in endless
disputes or embarrassed by absurd freaks with
financial questions. But il is for the republican
party TO decide. We earnestly trust the wiSs>t
minds in the party will be applied 20 the settle
ment of measures which shall be at once lust
ard liberal towards all classes and all sections
in the Unon, which shall be worthy of the pro-
gressiye temper and spirit OF the age, and which
shall he calculated TO increase the honor and
TenoWn OF the country and 10 promote the hap
pines and prosperity of its people.
TEE WORLD PROFOUNDLY SURPRISED.
NkW YORK, May i.-The World editOrially
expresses profound surprise at the result in Gin
cidnati. Adams who proved hy far the strong
est of all the candidates who had been expected
10 be strong in the convention, might have been
cordialiy endorsed by the World, as he would
have been cordially supported by the demo
cratic party. Greeley can receive no such en-
dotesmcnt. nor has he any reason TO expect such
support. The convention has chosen to nomi-
nate the most heated and conspicuous opp Dnent
OF the democratic party in the country. Called
ior revenue reform, IL has selected the most
Jealous OF prOtectiOnists. This leaves the dem
ocrstic party entirely free 10 await the develop
ments OF the immediate future, an opens the
way for possible democratic victory. Thu
World viii reserve its judgment until the meet
ing oil the democratic national convention 20 be
called next week by the national comm ttee
meeting in this city. The World recommend An
carly date for the assembling Of the convention.
THE HERALD DON'T KNOW YET WHAT COURSE
1T WILL TAKE.
NEW YORK, May 4.-The Herald TO-DAY well
comes Greeley into the campaign as a man the
American people will always respect and honor.
In flaru hall
him must he decided by himself. He has re-
celyed this nomination, and n he avoids certain
fsllacies that have embarrassed the usefulness
of his career, We shall support him: but in this
we shall ait The Developments OF the canvass
and the attitude in which the nominees of All
the conventions will stand before the people"
TIE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE on The sIrU-
ALTON.
New York, May The Journa Of Com,asres
(demOCraticl on the Cincinnati nominations
says T." There were two coarseS open i'm this
convention TO dsaifected republicans One
was TO nominate a candidate OF high char
acter and moderate views, who had good
standing among men of all parties, and
who, by securing subsequent democratic
Endorsement, might finally be elected:
the Other WAS to nominate a well-knowa parti-
san republican who should stand well and ia rly
repre- sent the views Of those assembled, and be
likely TO draw their strength in the
canvass, but who could not exnecf
The democratic endorsement, and thus
compel the regular republican convention 70
endorse him or throw the election into the
house OF their opponents. Whether wisely or
not, the convention has chosen the latter of
these alternatives, and has put forward for the
presidency the name OF Horace Greeley. A."
The Journal eonclulss:-"If this nomi-
nation is heartily accCi ted by all who were
represented at Cincinnati, il will prove to be
the hardest problem the party has been called
TO solve since il first came into power"
TEE CHICAGO TRIBUNE OUT FOR GREELEY.
CHICAGO, MAY 3.-Thc Tribune. in its edito-
rial article on the nOmi nation. saws So Horace
Greeley is known 10 all the lan1. His personal
integrity is unquestionable. He has won his
distinction before the people bv a life Of midas
Try; toll and ability. The presidency can hardly
add any thing TO his fame, but In the movem ut
by the people for reform there Is no person T.
whom the task can be more fttingly or con-
hdently committed than him"
THE sPRTNGEIELD REPUBLICAN THINKS IT No
EASY JOB TO BEAT GREELEY.
STBINGFIELD, MASS, May THE Rspg'l-
can OF to-day saws that the Cincinnati convan-
ron has disappointed both its enemies and il
friends. IL has seemed unable TO lit ITSELF
quite TO the level of its opportunity. and has
rested content with doing well when the com
try and the hour demanded that il should do it,
best. But the administration should not deceive
itself on this point. Mr.. Greeley's popularity is
no myth. He Is as strong with the ex-slave-
holders as with the eN-Slayes-With the Irish
laborers as with native-bOrn farmers who have
never voted a democratic ticket in their lives
lie may be beaten, but those who fancy the job
an easy one Will one Of these days see cause TO
alter their opinion. Ii the Phila lelphia people
conclude to undertake this job, il behOyes them
70 build stouter platform than they are now
il when built.
THE CHICAGO TIMES THINKS 1T AMUSING, nur
IF THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO, THEY CAN
CHICAGO, May 4.-The Times thinks the Gin
cinnati convention has surprised and amused
the country. In its immediate result the con-
yention Is a failure. IL had the Opportunity 10
inaugurate success, il, with tue slate, il could
have made the nomination, the confirmation OF
which by the open country would not to-day
have been an open question. We cannot saw
that recovery from this apparent failure il i'm
possible. II Is possible that these millions of
democratic voters represented i'm their national
convention will conclude that Mr.. Greeley i
better than Mr.. Grant, and take him as a choice
of evils. II so, Mr.. Greeley will be the next
President. The democracy was not consulted in
his nomination, and those whose wishes the Gin
cinnati convention has treated with disdam
must elect him, il lie is elected At all. The de-
mocracy, wholly untrammelled by the Cincin-
natl event. can view the situation calmly, and
proceed TO results deliberately. IL NAV be mas
ter of the situation. It's national committee
whose meeting is appointed for the sth instant
will doubtless call an early convention, and this
Will be more consequential, a. it is hoped it
will he wiser body, than that of Cincinnati
