CINCINNATI, May 3.
Much surprise is expressed that there
is no speech-making and no public de-
monstration of any kind this evening
for the resurrected wing party and its
ancient champion. The New Workers,
even, are undemonstrative Excepting
among the people in the hotel Hobbies,
NO discussion Of the new presidential
candidate is heard. People are looking
for the bonfres, but cannot find where
they oil are. Inquiries as to when the
cannon, tho torchlight procession, the
enthusiasm, and SO on, will begin, clic-
it only unsatisfactory answers.
FRANK BLAIR.
The only democrat Of any consider.
able prominence here who hurrahs for
the rcsurrected corpse Of ancient whig-
gerry IL Frank Blair. He swears that
any man who won't vote for the cham
pion advocate Of the protective system
Is no democrat.
TRUMBULL.
Failing in his presidential aim, Trum-
bull managed to get 156 votes for vicc
president, only 279 less than Gratx
Brown. Having been beaten for both
nominations, Trumbull now wants to
be governor Of illinois. If he should
not get that, he may apply for the Office
Of lieutenant governor. From that he
may graduate down as o Chicago al
derman.

CINCINNATI, May 3.
| The nomination Of Greeley has been
thoroughly canvassed tonight. The
democrats are divided. / had an In
terview with Senator Blair, who ex.
presses the opinion that Mr.. Greeley
would be acceptable to the combined
anti Grant forces, including the demo
cratic party. He says Mr., Greeley
will secure to the liberal moycmen
the State Of Pennsylvania, sure, and OF
that account the democrats will en-
dorse him. Some democrats herr
from New York are quite enthusiastic
In support of Greeley. Mr.. Levin, til,
correspondent of the New York Her
aid, democrat who Is thorough!
posted with reference to the democra
cy Of the Empire state, declares tina
Greeley will have the earnest supper
of the democracy of that state, espec
tally the Irish portion oft. Mr.. Sam
uel Bowles, the editor of the Spring
field Republican, who was disappOint
4 ed by the defeat of Adams, espresso
the opinion that Greeley will combin
the opposition to Grant and be elected
Gen. Ewing, Of Ohio, is among tn
democrats who regrets the nomination
of Mr.. Greeley, and heexpresses tn
a opinion that he will not be elected
There are othef frecstraders who thin
Greeley il the best wedge that can b
employed to split the Republican part!
while the democracy, with Judge Ds
, Wis fora standard bearer, can take pos
: session of the government. The Da
Wis and Trumbull men feel very muc
grieved at the defeat of their candl
dates, but yield to the fates with q
much grace as possible. The Ne,
, Workers are very much elatcd, but tn
: Adams men are chagrined. We sha
! see what we shall see.
