RUNNING NOTES.
CINCINNATI, May 2-The permanent presi-
dent OF the reunion and reform convention will
1t is understood, be Judge Rufus p. Ranney OF
Ohio. For permanent president of the liberal
republican convention Cassius VI. CLAY, General
s and Others are spoken of: Senator Fen
ton has certainly departed for home. Various
constructions are placed on this sudden move.

city during the past few days has been without

Eighty thousand wo-,ls were sent from
the western Union Office, by a special cor
respondent here on Tuesday, in relation TO the
convention. There is still anxiety among the
friends of the liberal movement in relation 10
the tariff plank in the platform. On Tuesday
night the prospect of an understanding was dark.
o nes1eruay there was growing feeling that the
convention would decline 10 declare itself on
this question, but would leave il TO the people
OF the districts to settle in accordance with
Greeiey's understood wishes. The revenue re-
formers say that if Greeley 's nominated they
would accept the New York proposition TO
remand the whole business TO the people; but II
Greeley should not be nominated, they say they
will insist on declaration as explicit as that in
the New York call. There is a strong feeling
that the difference will be safely bridged over.
