The response of the press to the action OF
| the Cincinnati convention is pretty much
according to the general expectation so far
as it has yet reached us. Democratic organs
! speak respectfully and kindly of the ticket,
| find nothing Objectionable in the platform,
and manifest a cheerful disposition to sup
port the candidates, if permitted to do so
by the Democratic convention. Some of
them intimate and some openly express the
hope that the Democratic convention will
take such action as viii insure the cO-Opera-
ton of all the elements opposed to the ten
denotes of the administration party
In the Southern States, where the evils of
proscriptive misrule have borne heaviest,
and where the popular anxiety for an era
of peace and honest government is keenest,
there is a noticeable unanimity among all
the anti-carpet-bag journals. They greet
the action of the Cincinnati convention as
the dawn of a new day, that will restore
peace and prosperity to an afflicted land.
They seem to centre all their hopes upon
the Liberal movement as the rallying point
of all who would restore the Union and the
constitution, or bring relief to the suffering
South, and they seem to be barely able to
speak with patience of the suggestion that
the Democratic party will refuse its CO.
operation.
As to the Republican papers, the Liberal
journals pledge their support in case the
Democrats do not attempt to place them
in a false position by running a regularly
nominated Democratic ticket The New
York Post is the only journal classed as
Liberal which rejects the fruit of the Gin
cinnati convention, and the Post has not
only an old grudge against Greeley, but it
has gallOped the free-trade hobby so far
and so long that it can go no other gait.
The Radical party hacks, the custom
house, pOstOffice and general order journals,
are very bitter, and can find comfort and
hope only in dwelling on the points of an
tagonism between Greeley and the Demo
Gratis, and encouraging the belief that the
latter will not and can not support him,
but will seize the opportunity to run in
candidate of their own.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the old Dem
Ocratic organ of Ohio, which is understood
to speak in full sympathy with Mr. Pendle-
ton, awaits the action of the Democratic
convention, but does not try to disguise the
hearty confidence with which it regards the
Cincinnati nominations. 1t saws that ''Of
all the persons who could have been Sc
lected, there are none whose election would
be hailed with more joy by those who desire
the closing up of the wounds Of the late
civil war"
In the same spirit, the Columbus (Ohio)
Statesman says: 1.-THE ticket if elected, will
insure to the country pure government.
1t can be elected, and the men upon it, in
their executive capacity, will respond to the
highest aspirations of the true friends of
popular government 1t does no particular
violence to Democratic feelings, and will,
no doubt, receive the Endorsement of the
Democratic national convention"
The Indianapolis Sentinel the organ of
Indiana Democracy, published at the home
Of Mr.. Hendricks, regards Mr. Greeley's
nomination with favor, and asks: "While
Democrats may not indOrse all the ideas
advanced in the Liberal Republican plat
form, is it not liberal enough, does it not
concede enough, so that the Democracy can
IN good faith unite with the Liberal Re-
publicans in the patriotic effort to wrest
the government from the spoilers and cor
ruptiOnists ?"
The Evansville Gndiana) Courier is salts
ned with the ticket, but had not seen the
platform. 1t says: "In case the platform
embodies the liberal sentiment of the coun-
try, we believe good faith and common
sense demand that the Democratic partv
should place no ticket in the field"
