There is some mlSappTehenSiOn OF msundeI-

WAIT TILL AFTER THE PHILADELPHIA CON
vENTION.
From ne CiHcfHHuii Enqpirer.
Our own opinion Is, that no nominations
sh0ud be made until after the Ofce-hOdeTs' Convention
has done appointed work in the denomination OF Gen
Grant Until then few 0ver-S$nguiIo persons WI te
may be presented by the Philadelphia Convention; and
these wi therefore certainly stand aOOf from the Gin
cnpat movement, If the earlier Convention shall pre-
naturely present candidate and may be compelled by
that most yrannica of sperstitions party feay TO re-
pdae il altogether There would be loss of strength
here which the promoters Of the Convention can not
port as pos sble at tine start Let them marshal their
forcc declare emphaticay their purpose TO reform the
administration of the Government provide for thor |
ough and efficient organization OF all the opponents OF
Tpnop of those disposed to share the work with them
when the proper time for NOMINATIONS arrives

We are convinced that the policy OF silent, !
