NEW YORK, April 6.--The World to-day
says that while the New York response to
the call for the Liberal Convention was
hardly in time to influence the Connecticut
election, yet that election was not unprom-
ising TO the Democracy. It asserts that
there is hope that tke Cincinnati COnveH-
ton may shape the future politics of the
country. The New York call is to be fol-
lowed bya mass meeting of Liberal Repub-
licans at Cooper Institute next Friday, at
which it is understood Senators Schurz and
Trumbull will speak. Senator Summers
friends think that in few days be will pub
licly commit himself to the Cincinnati
movement. The World thinks one essen
tial which the Liberals need is boldness.
