which indicate . determinations On the
part Of the Liberal Republicans. so,with-
standing DIR. Greeley's declaration to the
contrary. 70 stand by their eolOrs b the
bitter end. whether the Baltimore Conven-
ton shall accept the Cincinnati situation
or not:
'.fn treating Of the nominations Of Mr..
Greeley and Crate Brown there 10 but one
poin, left for this prescott article to con-
slider. and that is. will the Cincinnati can
dida,es be endorsed BY the Democratic
National Convention I Oar answer to
this proposition il. that IL II not . matter
Of prime Importance whether they are en-
dorsed at Baltimore or not We assume,
Of course. that they win be endorsed by
The baltimore Convention. however E.uch
some Of the old democratic wire-pullers
may shake their heads and express their.
sage forcbodings to the contrary. The
truth 10 the democratic masses hare them
selves taken up this question o: endorsing
the Cincinnati nominees. just as the re-
publican masses. breaking from their old
leaders, made the nominations in the 6rss
place II Is the movement Of the demo-
cratic populace. and not the movement Of
their heretofore so-called leaders; and all
We have to say to those pretended demo-
cratic leaders is. that the boat is started
which Is to bear Uncle Horace TO the Pres
idcncy. and unless they make haste to
Jump on board they will be left behind
Gloomy representations and threatened
opposition. with the view Of getting Cabi-
net positions and promises Of lesser loot
for the heads Of their cabal. will be Of no
effect As in the previous portions Of this
surprising canvass, no bargains. compro-
misses, or even "mutual understandings"
will be entertained. Horace Greeley rep
rcsents not only the reform sentiment. but
the revised political sentiment Of the en-
tire nation. and through his candidacy the
country feels that it will commence q new
era of national regeneration.
The liberal republicans understand the
situation. They did not separate from
their old associates to give democrats the
ca. and the ir::-! &c c.=-:-:..ou H..
presen; problem to the end. The present
state Of things is the prime opportunity Of
the democracy rather than of ours. for We
close to break the compac:ncss OF a rcpub
lican dictatorship in order to give the
democrats a chance. All that We have to
offer them at the present jurcturc is the
request that they consult their common
sense 1t must be clear to them that. as
there was but one actual candidate at Gin
cinnati. there will be but one candidate for
President before the people: and unless
they wish to part company with the Irish
vote. which viii! go in mass for Mr.. Gree
Icy, and likewise with their portion Of the
German vote. which will do the same.
they must endorse our nomination at their
convention. Let it satisfy them that fonr
years is hut brief trial Of the patience of
great party, which has been under foot
for twelve, and which requires an arnris-
tice. under neutral conditions. of at least
four years, for the Reorganization of mis-
fortunes"
