Henry Wilson and Senator TrumbulI at the
Greeley Headquarters Inquiring After
EreeIey-MysteFiaus Proceedings Of the
Massachusetts Senator.
From the New York World Of Saturday.
The Liberal Republican headquarters
we're filed yesterday by crowd OF city
politicians and country visitors discussing
The probable forthcoming action of the
Baltimore convention. The committee
a were busy sending away hundreds Of pack
ages Of campaign documents to parties
throughout the country, and attending to
the wants of the various subcommittee.
About three o'clock, to the astOnishment Of
all present, Senator Henry Wilson, Of Mas
saehusetts, walked leisurely into the rooms
of the committee, and for an instant every
thing became as still as DEATH Groups of
pOliticians who had become heated in poll
neal discussion discontinued their argu-
ments as soon as the Vice Presidential can
didate of the Grant faction put in an ap-
pearance. As he entered he strobe directly
TO a large table, where there were piled
numerous campaign documents, and pick
ing up each kind, he examined it and then
threw it carelessly aside. He then walked
around the room surveying the photo
graphs of Mr.. Greeley, which are suspended
from the walls, and was IN the act Of
examining the register, which contains
Aue udWbS OF oil Tue pEUmlutNb hGpuUIE-
cans who have declared their intention of
working in the interest of the Cincinnati
ticket, when he was approached by num-
Der of gentlemen who were personally &C
quainted with him. Having passed the
usual courtesies, they endeavOred to ascer.
tain his opinion on the political situation,
but he refused to be pumped, and they were
forced TO converse on other subjects. He
seemed to be very anxious to have an in
mil M Capaa1arz nd funafwa1
very particularly after his health. But as
no person present had any idea of Mr.. Gree
ley's whereabouts, Mr.. Wilson shortly at
terward took his departure. Every move
ment Of Wilson was closely scrutinized by
the delegates, as it was expected that his
mission to New York was not for the bene-
fit of the Liberal movement, but merely to
find out if Greeley was gaining strength.
This suspicion seemed to have some tOunda-
ton, as it was afterward ascertained that
Senator Wilson had engaged room eleven
at the AstOr House for few days.
No sooner had Mr.. Wilson made his exit
than Senators Trumbull, of Illinois, and
Rice, of Arkansas, entered. Their unex-
pected appearance created even more sur
prise than Wilson, and as soon as they got
inside the door they were received by the
delegates with joy. Trumbull more espec-
sally was shown round by the crowd who
heartily shook both his hands and put
question after question to him relative to
the new movement. He seemed to take
very little notice Of this demonstration IN
his favor and had but few words to say.
Having found General Cochrane he held a
short conversation with him and soon after
left to 90 in quest of Mr., Greeley. A COM
mittee from Newark, New Jersey, was also
in attendance, and reported to General |
COchrane that all arrangements we're com
pleted to hold State convention at Liberty
Hail. Newark, on the twentieth instant, in
behalf Of the Cincinnati ticket, and re-
questing the chairman to furnish them with
speakers. Mr.. Greeley did not call at the |
committee rooms during the day, as he was
expecting his wife and daughter TO arrive |
on the steamship Rhein in the afternoon.
