The excitement concerning the Cincinnati
Convention increases hourly all over the
country, and even the most radical of Radical
papers and politicians are ceasing to sneer
and beginning to whistle for the time-honor-
ed purpose of keeping up their courage. In
the City of Cincinnati Itself there Is infinite
hustle and preparation for the great event.
The hotels are already 'bespoken" to their
utmost capacity, and private houses are being
swept and garnished by the thrifty house,
wives for the prospective emolument of them
selves and their lords. Delegations arrive on
every train, and here and there In the crowd
the conspicuous figure Of some leader and
possible candidate Is beginning to be obsery-
ed. There Is much discussion, of course, con-
corning the action of the convention, hut the
delegates are inclined to keep their opinions
10 themselves until the proceedings begin. A
Cincinnati dispatch, of Thursday, to the New
York Tribune says:
The work of preparation, so far az the halls
are concerned, Is perfected and ready for the
conventions. The Reunion and Reform Con-
vention will meet at 10 A. NJ, May l, a. Mo-
Fart Hall. It's preliminary business will be
completed, If possible, In time to- permit the
taking of q recess, 80 that the members may
be present at the Liberal Republican Conven-
tton. which will convene at Exposition Hall at
10 N. on the same day. The general opinion
Is that the work of the conventions will con.
sumo the entire week up till noon OF Saturday.
It is thought by those best informed and most
interested that the transformation of the con-
ventions Into one delegated body cannot,
under the most favorable circumstances, be
effected in time for a meeting earlier than Fri
day. All the States will be represented In the
mass meeting of the Liberal Republicans.
About half the States have notified the
Reunion aud Reform Mass Convention that
delegates would be sent to 1t.
Yesterday it was ascertsined that hotel &C.
commodatious for fifteen hundred had been
engaged In Cincinnati and Covlngton: and the
more central hotels were rejecting all further
applications, while others more remote had
room enough and to spare. Private citizens
are coming to headquarters and offeripg to
entertain delegates. Many Will be provided
for In this way. Steamboats,, sleeping cars
and lodglDg-rooms. lmprovlsed by hotels, will
make o large provision for surplus attendance.
All railroads centering in the city will run eX-
cursion trains early ami late, at conyenient
intervals, during convention week. In this
way hotel accommodations In neIghboring
towns can be made available.
SENATOR SCluEZ Will hTTlNc Sluudyf uuu w

On Monday night he will go to Washington
Platform, an immense beer saloon on Elm and
Court streets, where he will meet bis German
fellow-citIzens In q social way. All the Ger
man musical societies will be there. The re-
ception will be simple, and without expense,
and this General Schurz prefers. The Ger
mans will be here 10 swarms from New York,
Milwaukee, ST. LOUISE Cleveland q Column
bus. In regard TO this convention, Influential
Germans and Americans think that to give it
the fullest moral force, 1t will be necessary that
much balloting be avoided, that all arrange
ments be made beforeliay l, and that the con.
yention be unanimous. Then nothing would re-
main but to get the Democratic executive com.
miltee not to call O convention. Exposition
Hall will accommodate eight Thousand per-
sons. The committee says no one will be ad-
mitted 10 either convention without a ticker,
which will have to be obtained Monday n
Tuesday next. Arrangements have been
made for tables and chairs for one hundred
members Of the press. Assignment OF news.
papers to positions will be made by q commit
lee of the representatives of the press on Mon
day or Tuesday. The Western Union and
Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Companies
have each several wires to each portion of the
hall, and will dispatch from there during con-
vention. The press accommodations can be
increased to afford room for two hundred If
necessary. Exposition Hall Is decorated sim
ply and ineXpensively. Portions are set apart
for ladies, and barriers are provided to Bepar.
ate outsiders from delegates. The city will
