candidate before the Republican State
Convention of May p, creates consterna-
ton among the followers of Gen. Grant. 1t
has also transpired that Gov. Palmer, on

that he would support the nominee of the
Cincinnati Convention, if that body selects
for candidate O. statesman whose political
record and private life are such as can Sc
cure the confidence of the country. Gov.

created belief by very many people that
he is the proper person to nominate for the
Liberal Republican candidate for President

The washington Outlook.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Demo
cratic members of Congress are consulting
among themselves regarding their political
course in view of the Cincinnati; COnven-
ton. Some of them freely express their
willingness to vote for the nominee of that
convention, provided the demonstration
there shall give promise of success and the
platform be of such character that they
can indorse it. They say that they want
only the enunciatiOn of few general prin-
ciples. -:
Some of the administration Republi
cans have been privately exchanging view:
with them in order TO arrange basis o.
coalition. 1t is generally agreed, however
by the Democrats that their course will bt
governed " the National Democratic Con
vention, whether it will agree to support the
Cincinnati nominee or make a nomination
of its own.
Schurs and!PendIetOn.
There is authority from one of the gentle
man mentioned, for saying that the ALLEGED
meeting in Washington between Senator
Schurz and other Republicans with Pendle
ton, Morgan and other Democrats did not

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The stories set afoat by the dispatche
hence to the New York Post ard Cincin
natl Times, relative to a conference between
the Democratic members of Congress ant

agreeing on candidates for the Cincinnati
Convention, are pure inventions got up il
the enemy's camp. The Democrats men
toned each deny the statement in all it
features. Nothing of the kind has ever oC
Cured, nor is it likely to occur.
