quietly and generally, az II it was what was cx-
pected. There no enthusiastic demonstration
and not a few wry faces; but the nominations were
for the most part acquiesced In, much after the
fashion OF having TWO hard pills that must be
swallowed Nearly every ant-Grant man on
the streets said the ticket was a good one,

been nominated, and If the Northern democracy

Diversity OF Opinion I'm Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 3, 1872.
The news of the nomination OF Horace Greeley by
the Cincinnati Convention received here consider
able surprise, and is varousy commented
upon on Change, in the hotels and
other places OF public congregation. It
Is very generally remarked that the
nomination was singular one, but there were
various opinions as to its strength, some alleging
Greeleys personal popularity with the people, par
ticularly in the South would he a strong element
OF success, while others declared that the democrats
would not support him anywhere; the aosTG
the result OF dishonorable trade between protec-

To dose the democracy with abolItionism, the

Probably support the Cincinnati NOmi-
nations.
CONCORD n. H., May 3, 1872.
The Democratic state Committee held meeting
here this evening, Hon. John r. Sinclair, of Little
ton, Chairman, presiding. Mr.. william Burns, OF
Lancaster, was appointed member Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, in place OF Mr..
Harry Bingham, Of Lancaster. who Is unable TO
attend the ..eeting OF the committee In New York
next Wednesday. No official action was
taken In regard to the result OF
the Cincinnati Convention. The nominations
were unexpected TO both parties. The leaders OF
the republican party concedc that the nomination
of Greeley Is strong one, but that Its strength
will depend upon the action or the democratic
party large portion OF whom, they feel confident,
will not endorse the ticket. The democrats think
that the nomination must be disastrous to the
Grant ticket, and express their readiness to sup
port anything that will defeat 1t.
