DOWN THE STREET
the action OF the liberal republicans in nominating
Mr.. Greeley is received with diverse opinions. On
the whole, the general impression among the
bankers and brokers appears to be that the Gin
cnnau Convention might have found q candidate
who would carry considerable more strength than
Mr.. Greeley. Although the men OF money do not
appear to have much faith in the Greeley ticket,
they all appear unanimous in wishing him every
success, rs they all agree that
HE is AN HONEST MAN.

election, and although they differed upon many
political points, they appeared TO be generally OF
