WASHINGTON, May 16.-The New York
COneressmen who have Just returned from
Conventions agree that the Democratic sup
port of Greeley is rapidly increasing in that
State, and they have little doubt but the
delegation TO Baltimore will stand among
the strongest hackers of the Cincinnati
nominations. Politicians from Pennsyl-
yania Of both parties represent the same
feeling there. A number Of prominent Re-
publicans from that State have arrived t.
urge that some Pennsylvania man may be
placed on the ticket with Grant. They re-
present that such a course as is in their op-
inion absolutely necessary to secure the
State for the Philadelphia ticket.

NEW YORK, May 17.-The SIN ofto-day
prints the following special ffom a veteran
observer:
~RocHEsTER, May 16.-The Democratic
State Convention held a very short session
this morning, The only business done was
the adoption of the report Of the Committee
of Sixteen, naming the delegates to the
National Convention. The list comprises
many able men, and, as a whole, is safe
delegation. 1t reflects the average opinion
of the Convention. 1t will act as a unit at
Baltimore and make the influence Of New
\ ork felt at the right moment and in the
right way. When the list of delegates was
ad,the ecenspicuOusn names elected applause;
perhaps the lOudest cheers were given to
Gov. Hoffman. Those bestowed upon
Senator Murphy, Lieut.. Gov. Beach, Mr.
Cassidy, of the argus, Senator Lord of
this city; Mr.. De Wolf of Oswego; Clark
son n. Potter, of Westchester, and Con-
gresham Williams, of Buffalo, were the
heartiest. The delegates viii carefully
watch the drift of the tide, and act according
" at Baltimore? l think am close to the
mark when l say that if the Liberal Re-
pUblicans want the delegation TO take the
initiative at Baltimore in favor of DR. Gree
ley, they must swell the Liberal movement
to formidable dimensions. The Demo-
Gratis who have been selected to represent
this State in the National Convention have
no intention Of taking stock in losing
or even doubtful enterprise. If they are
going 10 be beaten they prefer defeat under
their own flag. l know the temper of the
New York Democracy as exhibited by its
leaders here, and l DO not misjudge when
say that, while they are willing to take
Greeley and Brown if it appears to them
that in that way, and in that way alone,
they can overthrow Grant, they are fully
disinclined to try doubtful experiments in
that direction. Therefore, let Mr.. Greeley
and his friend govern themselves according
ly, and make satisfactory exhibit Of their
strength, if they want the help of the New
York delegation at the Democratic Nation
al Convention"

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Representatiye
Garrett, of the Third Tennessee District,
in a conversation with your correspondent,
V-iay, declared himself enthusiastically for
Ehe Cincinnati nominees. During the
conversation quite a crowd Of Southern
men gathered around, and Endorsed warm
ly all that he said in Greeley's favor. He
proceeded with an argument which is be-
coming quite common with the people
from his section now, and that is,
the South will support the Cincinnati
nominees, whether the Democrats
make a nomination at Baltimore o: not
lie says that the Southern people have come
20 hate the Beecher Democracy of the North
more intensely than the Radicals, and he
urges that it is only through the Northern
Beecher Democracy that Radicalism is made
possible. He instanced by numberless let
tiers from all parts Of the State, that the
Cincinnati nominations were taking like
wildfre, and in perfect defiance of the press,
