The Maryland Press on the Cincinnati
Nominations.

les We have carefully collated the opinions of
Democratic representative men from every dis
trlct IN Baltimore county, AMI those opinions
are unanimous without excepiiou-that whilst
they could never accept Mr.. Greeley as their
choice, whilst they do not expect the democra-
cy to stumble ut break meek speed into an
endorsement Of him, whilst they do not advise
the National Democratic convention to endorse
| the Cincinnati nominees yet they show a ready
Willingness, u necessary, 10 lay aside persona +
feelings, and even go so fag as to support
Horace Greeley for President"
The TOwsoniown Herald says: " We sup
pose Mr.. Greeley would be preferable to Gen
Grant or the nominee OF the Philadelphia Con
vention, whoever he may be, but we trust the
democratic party will yet nominate candidates
| for the offices OF President and Vice President
and that we shall not be compelled to choose
between two radicals. What democrat is there
who two years or even one yea- ago would
have thought Of such thing for moment?"
The Annapolis Republican eulogizes Mr..
Greeley, and calls upon democrats, conser-
vatives and liberal republicans-all who love

South; of the true reconstruction of the
Union.'
The Frederick Herald, which also hoists the

thought for the welfare and prosperity of the
people"
The Frederick Citizen, declaring that it win
support the nominees of the democratic con-
yention, " deems it proper to add that while
it is indisposed to make distinctive opposi-
ton TO the nomination Of n straight-out demo-
cratic ticket for the presidency and vice-presi-
dency, II cannot on patriotic considerations
or, from considerations of any party exped-
ency, advocate such action by the Democratic
National Convention"
The Belair Hartford county, Hgis SAYS the
question for the Democratic Convention is
whether General Grant can be defeated by
the regular nomination of a democrat in the
triangular contest which such a nomination
will produce" and offers "a word of adv
to the party and that u.s. TO send none but its
most prudent men 10 represent it in the con-
vention-men who are known to be neither
tricksters, wirepullers nor seekers after their
own political preferment."
The Belair Democrat says democrats will
await the action of their convention, ''but all
agree that it is Of the first Importance that the
present dynasty should be overthrow and

The Leonardtown (St Mary's county) Bea

the bulk OF the democratic vote would be cast
for Greeley, and the editor SAYS: " His pyc-
sent politics begin and end with this sine Qua
