HOW 1T MAS DONE AND HOW SOME
FOLKS FEEL ABOUT 1T.

Many Liberals are sorely disap- |
pointed at the result of the Cincin-
natl Convention. ana openly de-
nounce the nominees, willie the
Democrats, in large numbers do
not hesitate tosannouuce themselves
openly for a straight-out Democrat
ic nominee oH the 9Th of July.
The "swap7 between Greeley and
Brown by which the philosopher of
the Tribune was nominated, is sever
ly criticised. There seems 10 be no
doubt but that Adams had an hon
est majority of The convention. A
ring had been formed to nominate
him, which would have succeeded
had it not been for the sagacity of
Gratz Brown. lie arrived at Gin
cinnati from st. Louis by special
train just in time to spoil the little
game of the Adams men to which
Schurz was q party. After the first
ballot, Brown having received So
votes for President, made his way to
the stand aud after Withdrawing his
name, made the following speech:
81 want a man nominated who can
secure the most votes in. the Repub-
lican party, and that man is Horace
Greeley" While this little speech
was received with furious Misses, it
did its work well. The brains of the
Liberal NOV ement coull not be ig-
nored, and the fact that Brown was
nominated en- the second ballot for
) Vice President may or may not be
just grounds for the charge of the
dissatisfied Liberals, that the nom
nations were a bargain and sale
between Greeley and Brown.
The classification among the Lib.
: erals themselves is one of the most
notable features of the nominations

speeches from his sick bed, II nece-'
sary, to defeat the Cincinnati ticket
: At the close of the convention q
meeting of half the Ohio delegates
was held, in which several denun
ciatory speeches were made. Judge

one of the lOudest Liberals, spC
who was one of the committee OF

bad left the convention in disgust

ed, and he would defeat Greeley
and Brown if he had to vote fol
l Grant to do it. Judge Brinkenhoff

were as much intruders in the con

, The only class of Democrats 81
far, who pronounce in faVsr of th,
ticket are those who think more o
: offices than they do of their princi
pies.
The only conclusion we can reacl
now is that if the Democrats max
I a separate nomination, this Liberia
a ticket will be as dead as q dried her
1 ing before August. If it shall re
e ceive the support of that party
. it will have strength and the con
' test will be close one. Everything
