The meeting Of the troubled liberals" held
in New York Thursday, was not open to the re-
porters who managed cleverly hut not with
great success, 10 get up. reports Of its proceed
ines. Bat the New York Tribune gives report
which is, probably, authentic as far as it goes
If it does not tell the whole story, it gives as
much Of it as that journal supposes viii be use
ful. The meeting was TO consist of diseruntled
Cincinnati pilgrims; but not few democrats
were there. John Forsyth spoke for Alabama;
Ex-Gov English was the leading spokesman
for Connecticut; G. F. Pilsbury, free trade
democrat, represented Maine; and, among
the others, were a democratic editor from Ken
lucky and a democratic ex-rebel from Georgia
All these were for Greeley The regular mass
meeting pilgrims of the mournful sort were well
represented. Two German editors, one from St.
Louis and the other from Cincinnati, spoke
strongly against Greeley, and declared that they
would not support him under any circumstances
whatever; and a democratic editor from New Jer-
sey spoke in the same way, and thought that
New Jersey would certainly go for Grant against
Greeley, because there were many who would
vote for Giant TO beat Greeley.
There was much discussion and some sharp
talk; bur none of the dissatisfied liberals"
were converted to the Greeley faith. The meet.
ing adjourned without attempting to propose
another candidate. II was miscellaneous as
semblage, into which more regular democrats
found their way than one would expect to hear
of in such a meeting. After the adjournment,
Judge Stallo gave notice that the anti-Greeley
liberals" would hold a meeting by themselves,
yesterday, and continue the consultation. 1t is
stated that certain democrats who are against
Greeley, have been holding a consultation
meeting at Long Branch, and that they seek to de.
wise some new movement, in concert with Judge
StalIo and his associates. Carl Schurz thinksit
is too late to ATTEMPT successfully to put an
other candidate in the place of Greeley; and
Mr.. Rothe of the Cincinnati Tolksfreuad SAYS
of him: Senator Schurz is in an extremely un-
fortunate position. 1t would have been better for
him if he had accompanied his family to
Europe. If he supports Greeley, he will alien
ate his truest and best friends among the Ger
mans" 1t is now too late for any movement of
the disafected against Greeley, unless it be a
movement of the anti,Greeey democrats The
"liberal republicans" so called, are too few to
w NuluS GHGNliNt GltutE lOF ulln OF AGAINST
him. At best Greeley can be nothing more
than the democratic candidate; and, to be this,
he must get the Baltimore nomination.
1t is stated in the Tribune, and in some other
papers, that the democrats who oppose Greeley
are taking measures to meet the danger of his
nomination at Baltimore, by organizing a bolt
and putting up against him straight out dem
ocratic ticket. This is said TO be the business of
the consulting democrats at Long Branch. 1t
is very manifest that there are many democrats
who will not support Greeley, and, also, that
large number of the democratic papers, such as
the New York World, the Chicago Times, and
the Philadelphia Age, can not do this. 1t seems
now that the Baltimore convention will nomi-
nate Greeley, and give the proposed boilers an
opportunity. We shall see what they will do
The Baltimore convention will meet, two weeks
from next Tuesday.
