Last Friday evening the Liberal Re
Publicans of New York held q spirited
mass meeting ct Cooper Institute of ,ha
city. Several journals pronounce it the
largest that ever assembled there, aud .
telegram in mentioning it says that sur
prise is sexpressej that the Cincinnati move
ment should display such strength in it,
hrst notable meeting in that city. Sena
tors Schurz and Trumbull were there and
addressed the meeting. In speaking oi
their speeches, the World formerly sup
posed to be opposed to what is termed
the "passivo policy says: "If this
great and spirited movement is foretaste
Of Cincinnati the Democratic party can
,rcN aford to poh and naich, 1t will
put no obs,ructions in the way Of the
movement which seems to stand on SO
strong a basis but it must nevertheless
reserve its fiua judgment until the pres.
eut hopeful anticipations shall ripeu into
established facts"
While the Radical papers are warm IN
their denuDcia,ions OF the meerfu., e.,h
papers as the Tribune, Sun, Express aud
Post heartily endorse the movement, and
speak IN glowing terms Of the speeches Of
Schurz and Trumbull. Business men Of
prominence, if We are to credit the tele
grams, begin TO look at the matter in a
favorable light, and many who have here.

SAID the name of Charles Francis Adams
meets with more favor among all classes
in New York than any other.
The little ball that was started rolling
in the state election of Missouri two years
ago, has continued to roll and increase
in size unit! it promises to become mag.
ni6ceut national affair. From all quarters
come reports of the success Of the new
movcment-a plan to restore the country
to honest rule once more. 1t is true the
scheme IL not yet consummated, but We
believe it will he, and there will be seen
others pouring into the ranks Of this
growing army, who are yet 10th to give
up in the national contest their party
name-there is little or no difference in
the principles aimed st-or who are yet
doubtful Of the good intentions of the
leading liberal Republicans.
A great deal, however, yet depends
upon the actions Of the Cincinnati con-
vention. Ifa man obnoxious to the Dem.
ocratic party is nominated, the masses of
the party cannot be drawn to his support
q few may, but not enough to secure his
final triumph. Scores Of patriotic Dem
Gratis have already conceded much, and
are still willing to abide by that conces-
siou for the good of the country, pro
vided their feelings are not outraged by
any indecorous or dic,ato'al spirit Of the
Cincinnati convention, They will take
no part IN that convention, nor will they
throw any obstructions in the way; bu.
it it's nominees, its resolutions, and its
unanimity, indicate that the Liberal Re-
publicans are in earnest, that party ties
are ignored, and a reform in the national
government is their undisgu,sed aim, we
are confident these same Democrats will
extend hearty support to their ticket.
