gates to the Baltimore Convention were
here to-day en- route.
A Baltimore despatch announces the ar
rival there of large number of delegates
to the Democratic Convention. Among
them are Senator Kelly of Oregon; John
G. Thompson, of Ohio. There seems to be
general belief that Greeley will be nom.-
mated. There is comparatively little tax of
candidates, the interest Of the occasion be-
ing mostly conferred on the selection of the
National Executive Committee and of the
officers of the convention. There is to be
determined effort to eust Belmont from
the Craftsmanship OF the committee, and an
attempt made to give tie place to VIM. G,
Niblack, of Indiana.

The principal names mentioned for the

Liberal Ratification q Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, July 6.-The political cam
paign was opened here tonight by Libe-
raj Republican ratification meeting in Pro-
