WEDNESDAY. JUNE 10. 1879.


The '"liberals" who meet in New York to-day
for consultation, are regarded with some I'M
easiness and speculation by the World as well
as BY the Tribune. The Tribune refuses to be-
lieve they mean opposition 10 Greeley, although
the only purpose OF the meeting is TO devise
means for suppressing Greeley in favor of some
other candidate. The World assures them that
il is now too late TO propose any other candi-
date who is NOT veteran democrat. What they
do now, it SAYS, twill not be of the slightest
political consequence" unless they 90 into the
democratic party for their candidates and
''present a ticket which will appeal to sturdy
undemoralized democrats" What they seek to
do can be done comfy by reviving and nvigorat-
ing genuine democratic feeling" First or last,
this feeling would control the coalition and de-
termine its character under any circumstances.
If the liberals" who assemble in New York
to-day cannot accept this fact and reconcile
themselves to straight democratic nominations"
they can be of no service in the present emer-
gency
The chances at Baltimore appear now TO be
in favor of Greeley Even the World sees this,
and says: "a blind, unrefecting majority of
the party look with favor on Mr. Greeley; but
they are stumbling into the greatest mistake
ever made by sane men," 1t maintains that
Greeley can not be elected, because "there are
countless hosts of democrats who would sooner
vote for the eternal devil than for him; WHILE
on the other hand, he would get but the "barest
handful of republican votes. If Mr.. Greeley
could be elected, the party responsible for such
an administration as his would necessarily
be, would be cursed out of existence
and never again appear in a presidential
canvass. The Cincinnati movement, begun
in Missouri by men who have not belonged to
the republican party, for several years, and cap
tured by the most inscriptions political adven-
turers on the continent, attempted to divide the
republican party. 1t failed to do this; but it
has played the mischief with The democratic
party, and will probably, destroy it. 1t is not
surprising that the men who meet in New York,
to-day, are discouraged How Carl Schurz
feels is told in Germany, BY an American cor
respondent of the Frankfort Gazette Speaking
of the Cincinnati nominations, the latter says:
"0ur distinguished conntryman was greatly
depressed, and sal that he would never have
gone TO the Cincinnati convention, much less
presided over it, had he known how pitlully it
would end. He admitted that he had moderated
the strength of the republican" party, and over
rated the purity Of the motives and aspirations
of the men by whom he had been surrounded at
Cincinnati. He said that so many things had
seemed to indicate that the republican party
was on the verge of dissolution and that the adj
ministration had become odious, that he had
taken his stand in favor of the liberal movement
in the sincere hope that victory was within the
grasp of the Cincinnati convention But he
now began to see that, if he had not been
grossly msled, he had certainly erred in looking
upon the republican organization as melting
away"
