The reason alleged is that his candidacy
would SO embarrass the action of the paper
as to deprive it of usefulness in the Presi-
dental contest.
Mr.. Greeley has not been in the city to-
to-day. 1t is reported be will remain at his
home in Chappaqua till the nomination is
formally accepted; to avoid injudiciOus re-
marks which might be called out by the
well meant congratulations of fIiends.
The Herald,
The Herald has. two column double
loaded article on the nominations at Gin
cinnati yesterday. 1t says they viii excite
surprise and interest. The nomination of
Greeley is the most striking event, in some
respects, ever known in our political histo-
ry. 1t attributes it to the strength of his
personal character and the devotion of bis
admirers. After some reflections upon
the fact that Greeley and Brown are both
journalists, and that the nomination of
Greeley is largely due to the support of the
independent press, and especially of the
Herald, and after reviewing the names
which were before the Convention to show
that Greeley was the strongest and most
popular candidate, the Herald goes into an
inquiry of the effect Of the nominations and
the probabilities Of tie success of the ticket.
1t has not faith in the Cincinnati move
ment, and points out the weakness of Gree
ley's public position and strength of Grants,
and thinks the followers of the latter have
strong temptations to induce them to de-
sert his standard. The canvass viii be q
PERSONAL
one, for there is no principle developed in
Cincinnati. The movement is nothing ex-
cept the restlessness of the country under
the foreign policy and the force for a change.
Slighter considerations have controlled for
mer elections. Whether they will do so
now the Herald does not undertake TO pre-
diet. s-fas ..
Journal of Commerce.
The Journal of Commerce on the Gin
cinnati nomination says: "There were two
courses. open to this convention of disafiect-
ed Republicans: one, to nominate a candi-
date of high character and moderate views,
who had good standing among all parties,
and who by securing subsequent Democrat
ic endorsement might fairly hope to be
elected; the other nominate a well known
partisan Republican, who stands well with
and fairly represent the views of those as
sembled, and be likely to draw out their
strength in the canvass, but who could net
expect Democratic endorsement and would
thus compel the regular Republican Con-
vention to endorse him or throw the elec-
ton in the hands of their opponents.
Whether wisely or not the Convention has
chosen the latter of these alternatives, and
have put forward for the Presidency the
name of II. Greeley" The Journal con-
cludes: eff this nomination is heartily ac-
cepted by all who were represented at Gin
cinnati, it will prove
Ihe Hardest Problem .
the party has been called to settle since it
came into power. --.r a.-a.t
The Evening Post.
The EUeRinq Post opposes the nOmina-
tions and platform of the Cincinnati Con-
vention; contends that Greeley lacks the
courage, frmness and consistency required
in Chief Magistrate; that bis political as
sociatiOns and intimacies are bad; that he is
a bigoted protectiOnisL and that bis manners
are gross. 1t says: ''Greeley can have no
hope of an election, and if he runs at all it
will only divide the Republican vote, leav-
ing the field clear to the Democrats, who,
should they have sense enough, as many of
them already urge, to put up such ticket
as
Adams and GrOesbeck
will bid fair to sweep the field"
Staats-Zeitung.
The StGdtS-Zeit1nlg says that Greeley and
Brown are good men and liked by both
Americans and Germans in this country,
but that if Mr.. Adams had been nominated
they would have been satisfied. The
ZeitJmg avoids saying who it will support,
though it comedies that the Liberal ticket is
very strong. They will defer any declaTa-
ton until after the Germans have held
meetings and decided the question, which
will be done next month.
The Telegram
supports the nomination enthusiastically.
Ben Wood.
The Sunday NelcS, Ben Woods paper,
will tomorrow contain a leader strongly
endorsing the Cincinnati nominees and
platform.
The Albany Argus.
ALBANY, May 3.-The argus, Demo-
cratic, of this city, is surprised at the nomi-
nation of Greeley, buttrefrains from express
sing any opinion, awaiting action according
to the usages of the National Democratic
Convention, but says that no man of the
Republican party has deserved more from
it than Mr.. Greeley. Few in the country
have impressed the people more favorably
as regards personal character, mental vigor,
patriotism and virtues, which no eccen-
tricities can cloud.
