Special to the Appeal
CINCINNATI, April 30-This Conven
tion i no Democratic funeral, especial
" if Adams be nominated In sucl
ease the Democrats will nominate Da
Wis. The members of the Nationa
Democratic Committee state tha
ninety per cent Of the new party ar,
Democrats, and they must be consulted
Thereupon, Adams stock goes down
and Davis and Curtin win strength
The Democrats will support these men
or Tumbull or Brown, but nevel
Adams. Davis stock rose to-day. Mis-.
souri, Is safe without Brown. Schurz and
the Germans are for Adams. Schurz
in a speech to-day, urged the nomination
Of a man Of high social position, moral
worth, harmony, honesty and purity.
The delegations all organized to-day.
Greeley telegraphs that he is satisfied
with the pretermission tariff Senator
and Governor Hamilton are both here.
The Tennessee delegates met and pro-
posed to prevent the seizure of the new
organization on the ninth by Democrats.
Your correspondent proposed that the
Reformers and Republicans call a con-
ventiOn on the ninth instead of the
seventh, and the trouble would be set
tied. Ii was agreed to through the in
huence Of Fowler, who has brains. Sen
atOr Cox, Of Ohio, is approved by the
Democrats, and gains strength. Hen
bricks says he will canvass Indiana for
Davis, THImbun and Brown are for
Davis.
CHICAGO, April 80.-The Tribune to-
~
ton Of Judge Davis at Cincinnati, saws
edit0rialy: A reform movement which
should commence by taking political
Judge of the Supreme Bench to head il
would be disastrous and fOredoOmed
failure. If anything We're wanting TO
stamp II with popular disapprObatiOn,
and to insure its defeat, it would be fur
nished evidence, showing that it was a
put-up job, having its origin day or
two before the said reform movement
began, and Is now sought to be transfer
red from its own birthplace 10 a foreign
nest. Reform has never before taken so
questionable a shape. The people will
not recognize il when it comes before
them under that designation"
CISCISSArI, April 30.
Arrivals have been steadily going on,
and from some directions they have been
immense. The city is fun of strangers,
and the interest is increasing hourly.
II has been settled that Judge Stanley
Matthews viii be temporary chairman
of the convention. Further than this
nothing is settled in reference to the
officers, though there is much specula-
ton relative 10 permanent officers. The
interest relative TO candidates has never
been 50 great a. to-day. A great pressure !
il making for Judge Davis, and his
friends talk confidently.
A train Of seventeen cans came in at
eleven o'clock from Paris, Decatur and
other cities in Illinois, bearing delega- |
tons that, in the aggregate, number six
hundred. 1t Is claimed that they are all |
very largely for Davis. The friends of
Adams hardly seem so confident, I
though there is 50 much chaos in Opin- /
ION that it is not safe TO make predic- |
tiOns.
The Kansas delegation held a meet 1
ing at the Gait House this morning and 1
declared itself informally for Trumbull. /
Tut showed no disposition % make /
fight for him. OF. indeed. 4
amy candidate that Greeley approves
will be their first choice for Vice Presi-
dent. The delegates from Illinois are
much divided, and efforts are making
toward conciliatiOn. Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri, and other delegates will hold /
meetings tins evening, the result Of
which doubtless viii give some indica-
tiOns Of what may be expected from
these States. The Iennesseeans held a I
meeting at the Spencer House this \
morning, and We're addressed by Colonel I
Collin and Colonel Byrd, the latter
from East Tennessee.
At a general meeting of the Illinois
delegation 10 the Liberal Republican
Convention, held this afternoon, the
following committees were appointed to
recommend permanent delegates TO the
Convention: For Davis-HOn. Leonard
swell, Writ Dexler, A. Gridney, n. X.
Fairbanks; for Palmer-C. NJ Haines,
Richard Rout, L. W. Edwards, NJ. B.
Brown; for Trumbull-Ex-Lieute
Governor Komey, o. NJ Hatch, Isaac
keis, VIM. Jaynes. The meeting was
large and somewhat excited. 1t is
claimed that some Of the committee
have not been closely identified with
the movement.
At meeting Of the friends Of Davis,
Palmer and Trumbull, from Illinois,
held this forenoon, an agreement was
reached by which, in the convention.
Davis is to be entitled to have the dele
gates from Illinois, the remainder to be
divided between Palmer and Trumbuu.
1t is thought, beyond doubt, that this
viii be acquiesced in by the general
meetings this afternoon Of Illinois dele
gates, thus settling question that has
given considerable anxiety.
The day has been one of excitement
among those interested in the convention
which assemble tomorrow. Each batch
Of delegates that has arrived has added
fresh fuel and rendered it even more
difficult to indicate what the results
viii be 50 early in the day. So far as
the candidates are concerned there
is CHAOS, though it appears quite evi-
lent that since noon the feeling in favor
Of Greeley for the first place has been
The delegation from New
York has received neinforcements from
Jther quarters in favor of their favOrite,
and the general talk among the dele
gates indicates growing strength in this ,
direction. New York has decided to ,
itand 10y him indefinitely for the chief /.
place. The Missouri delegates at a ,
Meeting to-day declared strongly for I
Brown as their first choice, and when it Z
vas suggested that they should indicate Z
ome person as a second choice there Z
vas decided expression in opposition {
o st present considering a contingency q
hat would make it necessary for them {
o make a second choice. They did not q
elect their delegates to represent them s
n the convention, hat will do so to- q
morrow. 5
