A POLITICAL CALM.
There 10 quite lull in political excite
ment the past two days. Prior 70 the
meeting Of the Fifth Avenue hotel con-
ference there WAS slight ripple made on
the political surface, growing out Of what
its action might be. The Radicals were
especially hopeful that the conference
would choose candidate and thus destroy
Greeley before the Baltimore convention.
but, alas they now give up all hope and
freely admit that the democracy will
endose him this Is also the case with
those democrats who desired an out.and.
out democratic nomination but who now
seeing that the endorsement of the Gin
cinnati nominees 10 virtually settled, speak
with no uncertain sound Of their intention
to work for, and vote for them, IL nomi.
mated. Even the New York World, Bit
ter and outspoken as II has been, is gradu-
ally preparing to bow to the wishes of the
democratic masses.
The Norfolk journal, one Of the live.
Hest, most sprightly, go-ahead, and ably
conducted newspapers In the country, has
been and 10 yet, one Of the most earnest
opponents Of Horace Greeley's endorse
ment by the democracy, and says, speaking
Of the New York conference fzzle We
are not now so sanguine as we were that
Mr.. Greeley's nomination will not be rati.
fed by the Baltimore convention. We
shall be rejoicsd IL Horace Greeley 10 re-
pudia,ed at Baltimore; but If he shall be
accepted there, We mean to advocate his
election Is cordially Is we have opposed,
and, as we still oppose his nomination. We
hope to have third candidate; but ifthat
be impossible, let the whole power Of our
party, in all the effectiveness Of its organ
cation, be brought to bear in favor Of
Greeley against Grant"
This is an honest, ou.-spoken opposition
with regard to candidate. But when the
great democratic Sanhedrim, in all its
mighty power and wisdom decides finally
on the question of standard bearer-then,
as in this case-all opposition should, and,
no doubt will cease, and such words as
spoken by the journal are "apples of
gold set in pictures Of silver"
GOOD NEWS FOR GREELEY AND BROWN
in the shape Of letters from all parts Of
the country, predicting the success of the
liberal ticket, not only At Baltimore, but
its ultimate triumph in November, are be-
ing received daily by the hundreds by the
committee in charge OF the movement
here, whose headquarters are ut the st.
Marc hotel:
WILL NOT ACCEPT.
The friends of Mr.. Groesbeck here de-
clare that he will not permit himself to
be used in any way that will embarrass
the Baltimore convention. They say that
he will hardly thank:his injudicious friends
for the empty and somewhat doubtful
compliment of being nominated president
of the United States by l6 boilers from .
conference, Iand all of the boilers being
residents of Cincinnati.
THE CAMPAIGN SLOGAN.
The radicals have determined on their
campaign shout. 1t is to be ku-klux, reb-
els, payment Of the war debts Of the South
copperheads, intimidation of the negro
voters, etc, etc. In a word, they will
make it appear that the war is still 60
ing on. Every issue and question present.
ed will be ignored, and the cry of rebel
and the copperheads will have the changes
rung on them, As 1t was during the last
campaign. There 10 no longer any music
in the words; they were effective in their
day, but have out.lived their former use.
The Grant organs here-the Chronicle
and 'Republican'-givs the key note and
soundthe timbrel pretty loud on that tune
and the rest of the musicians will Join in
the chorus. Red Handed Dick, the buc-
cancer OF the Spanish main, or any of the
raw head and bloody bones dime novels
will not begin to equal the Grant journals
during the presidential campaign, in the
bloody, thrilling and sensational. Those
who delight in having their blood curdle
IN their veins and their hair stand on end
should give over Ned Buntline's novels
and subscribeto Grants own-the 'Chron.

TRIALS or SPEED.
There will be two trials of speed thil
summer. The presidential race, and n,
horse race. The former will be between
the old gray, II. Greeley, and the bay bob
tail, Ulysses G. The race will be pretty
warmly contested, with the odds in favor
Of the old gray. The jockeys, in this race
will transfer their quarters, from this city
to Saratogs, during the summer q large
number Of senators and members having
engaged rooms there, where will be fixed
