The Cincinnati Conversion.

The long talked of Liberal Convention
has met and done its work. The dlscor-
aant and antagonstic elements of that
Body have had their say. The disappoint-
ed, sore4head, ambitious politicians, have
had their own wey at last, and what is
the result?
The nominees Of this Liberal Republi-
can Convention, are, Horace Greeley, for
President of the United States, and B.
Gratz Brown, for Vice President.
The first news of the dcliberstion Of
these men somewhat startled the country,
but finally, the people settled down to
huge, hearty laugh, considering it as the
richest political joke ever perpetrated in
this country. ALL the conflicting elements
of the country met at this great conyen-
ton, and vainly endeavored to harmonic
the Democracy with the Revenue Reform
ers, the Germans with temperance, the
Free-lovists with the Church, and Horace
Greeley will: Free Trade.
What the convention has nominated
Hvrace Greeley for, would be hard to tell,
unless it be thought that it will have a
tendency to frighten the Philadelphia
Convention into abandoning Grant. If
Greeley rans it will only have the effect
to somewhat divide the Republican party,
and while he is accomplishing this, he
will be also dividing the Democratic par
ty, therby gaining votes for Grant. 1t is
not support Greeley; for he has been
their bitterest enemy. He is not the man
suitable for the Republican party, as he
has rendered himself obnoxious to that
party. His principles are, and have been,
at variance with the party. His bailing
the old apostate, JEFF. Davis, wila do him
no good and gain him no friends in the
western states. His efforts to beat Lin
coin during his second campaign; his
ultra protection principles, and all his
oddities and absurdities, all tend to make
the man anything but what we want to
occupy the presidential chair.
In case the Republican party make
Grant their choice at the Philadelphia con
vention, it may be probable that Greeley
will withdraw and leave the field to the
two opposing candidates ; but how the
thing will be managed it is hard to say.
It is difficult at the present time to see
clearly what the future will develop

Free Tea and Coffee

After July lst, tea and coffee, will
be admitted free of duty. This will
relieve the consumers, the great mass
of the people, from the payment OF
about twenty million dollars a year
and leave that amount to be paid by
whisky, tobacco and a few other arti-
Giles.
The people evidently think that
whisky is strong enough to stand under
very heavy taxes and intend to keep
it hard at work paying the debt.
The computed relief will amount to
about half million dollars yearly in
Wisconsin.
Under the Republican control the
taxes are constantly reduced and the
debt is being paid. No wonder the
Democrats are not py.-Madtson
