FERNANDO WOOD HAS THREArENED
to come here to crush out Adams. The Cincinnati
papers allege that Adams refused to present Fer
nando Wood at the English Court, and the demo-
Gratis generally show very little interest in
Woods bravado. AS to Woods prominence
as chairman Of the democratic caucus,
everybody knows that is small and
select body and is never called upon to caucus
for anything Of Importance. His presidency is
entirely complimentary and hardly worth the
candle. Judge Spalding Of Cleveland is either for
Greeley or for Davis
GRAFT BROWN TO BE PUSHED FORWARD.
The Brown men hold together solidly, and are re-
solved to introduce his name and make fight for
him. 1t has cost about twenty-five thousand dollars
up to this time to run Browns committee and keep
the managers In half dozen or a dozen States
II Palmer were to come here he would be made
chairman OF the Convention. The Illinois men
say he killed himself by prevarication and want
OF decision and almost everybody who can be
duct in holding interviews with himself at Spring
field, writing out with his hand answers to ques-
tons and having the same published in the Chicago
Post Brown, 1t Is said, Frustrated himself in the
West by getting on spree at
Springfield, ut the dedication OF the Lin
coin monument, and for two days

taking advantage Of this harmoniousness in Browns
career say that he win not come to Cincinnati,

gathering is precisely like all OF these political con-
ventiOns You see here high purpose, idiOsyncrasy,
small. personal ambition, revenge and whatever
ters into a congregation OF human beings to put the
sceptrc into mans hands to rule 600 OF people
for four years. There Ia no doubt whatever that
from every side there will be pronouncement
here against more than term Of office for the
Chief Magistrate; probably there is no question
upon which there is universal agreement except
this. conclude that on the whole the prospect
to-day lies between Davis and Trumbull. l sent
you q despatch to this effect more than
a week ago, and unless things change here
1t will have proved to be toleraby sagacious Davis
has done more work than any other candidate, and
in more States, to get delegates here. The most
available and appropriate to beat Davis is generally
thought to be his colleague, Trumbull. I believe
that Trumbull will be nominated.
