GO FOR BALTIMORE NOMINEES.

The Democratic presses OF the country
that have been leading Of 90 unwi.ely in ia =
vor OF their endorsement Of Greeley aud
Brown by the Baltimore Convention. even
IN advance Of the meeting OF that body.
will be apt ito take second sober
thought ere the meeting Of that body on
the 9Th day OF July. The editors Of the
United States, who lay claim to consisten-
cy aud common sense. certainly will not
commit such a humiliatins blunder as the
endorsements or the recommendation Of
'reeley would be, and we confidently eS-
pect to zee most OF them abandon thai,
foolish dea and demand in a voice OF thun.
der the nomination Of Groesbeck and Adj
ans at Baltimore.
The West Union (O) Defender has a
level heat upon that subject Itsays:
hany Of the Democratic journals in discuss

whether Greeley would not he a more accepta
o'o candidate to the Democracy for President
IMAM Grant. Without answering that ones.
ton We will say that they are assuming n con.
dltion OF things which does not now exist
me Democratic Convention that meet. in BnI
u'nore on the ninth Of July will undoubtedly
noioinate candidates that the whole party can
consistently support. Such being the case il
Is scarcely worth while to waste many word.
VA discussing tho question whether Greeley or
drant would be most acceptable to tho Domoc.
Faey' Ihatisa matter upon which they can
MAINTAIN supreme Indifference, "a they DO not
no" expect to support either. We firmly be.
ieVe the Democrats will elect the next Presi-
dent. Who It will be il not ye, known, but il
Is entirely safe to say tba: it will not be ,iran,
The above sounds more like Democracy
than what we hear FROM the Democratic
press IN other parts OF the State. and we
hope the Defenders example will be fol-
lowed 10y Others.
