THE FIGHT OVER DAVIS.
The strife between the Davis men and the anti.
DAVIS men OF all sorts has been OF unexampled bit
terness, 1t is impossible 60 make any prediction
have sure. thing and will carry their
candidate with a rush: The most ex.
IRENE ,,, men ne, ~, say tina. Z he y n &c.,
Convention TO endorse him. John Wenewurth says
that the labor reformers have already nominated
Tom Ewing finally revealed his prediction for
Davis this evening Sam Marshall says that neither
Adams, 1rnmbnll nor Greeley viii do.
WHAT THE OPPOSITION Gay.
On tho other hand, the opponents Of Davis arc
confident that he is already out Of the question,
ana say they do not care whether his ot-headed
friends holt or no. They rely upon New York and
Pennsylvania having turned tall upon Davis to- day,
and say that tomorrow this movement will drop to
pieces in Indiana. Fenton has been to see Defrees
and Others TO urge the futility OF nominating him.
SHALL n BE GREELEY2
Greeley stock has crawled up today. New York
viii go for him solidly and he has friends all
through the South, with no i'll feeling OF any great
Richmond va Brought letter here today dGS' from
the rebel General lmboden, which said that Greeley
was the only man who could carry every state In
the South, drawing the bulk OF the white VOTE and
elso large negro support. Stearns s for Greeley,
and thus the Davis movement I'm Virginia may not
hold out. The Adams movement can only succeed
by the consent OF the Trumbuli. Greeley Brown
men. who may unite under the tutelagc of the New
England free traders for the purpose OF eliminating
Davis.
BROWN DEAD.
Brown is ont OF the way, Grosven0r and Peitzer
being unable to rally the Trumbull and Adams men
to him and Hyde and other Missouri democrats ex-
pressing the opinion that he Is not strong man
outside Of Missouri
w,iAr BELMONT SAID ABOUT ADAMS
Belmont said, he returned through the city,
that while he had no antipathy to man OF Mr..
Adams cold, temperate style, he recognized in Mr.
Adams the ablest statesman OF the country and
man the Greeley In every respect and that
the fitness OF things required Grant to be beaten.
The first letter I sent to the HERALD, pub
fully indicated by what is happening
here. The real struggle is still between the organ
lied foes of Davis and the school of T~umbul and
Davis would have won but for the precipitate and
over-zealous interference OF few democrats, who
disguised the republican liberals and made fusion
easy between the advocates OF all the rest. Trum-
bull will be the nominee unless the Davis and
Palmer men back for Greeley In this event the
Trumbun and Brown men win support Charles
Francis Adams. t-.s-"a {. .:4 80
THE SECOND PLACE ON THE TICKET.
There is not much discussion about the Vice
Presidency, and no man OF the first class seems to
want il. The Adams and Trumbul men would be
glad 80 put Greeley the hinderside OF this ticket
and keep him, stu the platform win be guardedy
for revenue reform and substantially resolution
composed and offered by David A. Wells but In
stead Of using definite words az 10 free trade 1t will
declare for the noninterference OF governments In
political economy, and denounce the policy OF Con-
press in constructing commercial or manufacturing
establishments by partial system OF Ievyng
duties.
49, TIE BONE OF CONTENTION
In the whole movement IL David Davis Tie has
powerful body of pushing and uncoulpromising sup
porters, made mp OF wings and democrats nearly
equally who are attached TO his personal fortunes
and resolved to elect him, either through this or
some other convention.
ROUGH ON DAVIS.
