other similar doctrines, and denoupcing

August Belmont.
New YORK, May 5.-August Belmont
was interviewed yesterday, and said of the
platform and nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention: "This is but a bomb-shell
We must wait until we see its effect on the
press, the people, and, in fact, on many
things. 1t must go further. 1t may be
policy to adopt the ticket. Mr.. Greeley, in
my opinion, will run very well in the
Southern States, but, as l said, it is too soon
to judge yet. l will do most anything TO
defeat this administration, net that l have
anything against Mr.. Grant, but I don't
like his idea Of government. The Phila-
delphia Convention must meet yet, and
then the Democratic party will have to act
wisely. 1t is my opinion that the Liberal
ticket will be withdrawn in September if
the Democrats make a good nomination.
In the meantime, judge it better for the
party to say or do nothing. That is better.
We might say now what would probably be
presented or turned against US when the
nominations are made"
The Brooklyn Eagle (Democratic) in
dorses the Cincinnati Convention.
Hon. ID. w. Voorhees,.
TERRE HAUTE, IND, May 5.-The fol-
lowing telegram from Mr.. VOORHEES, is
furnished the agent of the Associated Press
by the editor of the Terre Haute Journal
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4, 1S72.-To
the editor of the Terre Haute Journal: The
Democratic party will meet as usual In
National Convention, and through its au-
thOriZed delegates nominate its candidates
and declare its policy. Until then, no man
has the right to commit the party as to its
future action. Its organization and prin-
ciples should be maintained at all hazards.
d. W. VOORHEES,.
The Liberal movement has no perceptible
strength here, both parties repudiating it
with almost entire unanimity.
A Baltimore bid.
BALTIMORE, May 5.-Th4 Gazette urges

ocrats in Congress are agreed that the 4th

National Convention, they are not in har-
mony as to the place, st. LOUIS, Louisville,

Carl Schurz.
ST. LOUIS, May 5.-The ReSlicke Post,
the organ of Senator Schurz, announces to-
day its support of the Greeley and Bro wn
ticket in the following words: "After the
anxious suspense which was felt here with
regard to the Cincinnati Convention, it is by
no means surprising that the result is not
satisfactory to many persons. 1t is true
that Mr.. Greeley is known throughout the
land as an honest and well-meaning man,
and the Germans must especially appreciate
the really noble position which the Tribune
assumed in contrast with all the other Eng
lish papers during the French German war
But these very same Germans cannot after
all help being to some extent alienated by
some Of these notions, which to some ex- |
tent must be admitted to the nation alto |
gether liberal, and putting the question |
whether more popular head might not |
have been given to the reform movement, |
which certainly originate here. Entirely |
justified as these feelings of disappointment |
are, still the Grant party viii not profit by |
them; for, when the people once begin to !
crticise, they are not likely to confne their
objections to the candidates of one party. |
And what upright patriot is there dissatis- |
fed with Greeley's nomination who would |
SO much as think of Grant? If the Gin
cinnati Convention has not put forward the
best man, that is surely no reason for now
voting for the worst. Frequently in life,
and above all frequently in American poll
tics, the experience is made that the best is
simply not to be had; and then no other re-
source remains for us than to accept the
comparatively better"
st. Louis Times.
The Times (Dem.) of this city says:
