THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
The New York World.wil Kindly ssDo
Nothing to Embarrass IT,
rFrom the New York World, March SOL

from the New York. World, March SOL
We are confident that all Democrats who
hold a recognized position In the party, or
feel any party pride, will keep aloof and have
nothing to de with the Cincinnati Conven-
tion. Unless the movement is 10 De rmneo,
there must be no shadow of pretence for
charging that the Cincinnati Convention is
packed by Democrats and controlled oy
Democratic influence. Except as Repuo-
lican movement 1t can amount 10 notnlng;
and we think Its managers make an egrpgious
mistake in inviting the participation OF Demo-
Gratis, for We can put no other construction on
the new call addressed to "Voters without
distinction of party"
While we have cause to attach much 1mpor-
tance to the Cincinnati movement. we
will do nothing TO embarrass 1t. The Demo-
cratic National Convention will not be held
till some time subsequent to the first of May.
If the Cincinnati Convention should prove to
be an influential body with strong Republi-
can backing, 1t Is quite possible that we may
adopt It's ticket. But we must also cOntem-
plate the possibility Of lts being 8 faSco. and
the Democratic party resolutely refuses to
commit its fortunes and prospects to this
doubtful experiment. If the experiment sue
ceeds, very well; If 1t does not succeed, we do
not Intend to put ourselves In position to be
", ak. mel or embarrassed J its fai ure. In any
event, we are to have a regular Democratic
National Convention; we shall preserve our
organization and maintain our party discip'
line: and If we should take up the Cincinnati
candidates we shall do it in united party,
and not as struggling mass of disolganized
voters.

FROM the New York World, March ISL

[From the New York World, March 2s.
Nothing is so salutary as truth, seasonably
spoken, and our Liberal Republican friends
must excuse some plain speaking respecting
their attitude and prospects. They seem
afflicted with that fatal weakness, an inhrm
mites, and strike at the moment the iron
comes out of the forge soft almost as wax,
when few timely blows would shape 1t. The
Liberal Republicans have. lost q great oppor.
tunity In Connecticut, and demonstrated their
lack OF those two great qualitles-as ef1clent
In politics as In war-ready Insight aud un-
finchlng courage. Within twenty days after
Jewelps election (if he should be elpcted) there
will have ceased to be any vigorous opposition
to Grant from the Liberal Republican
Journals or leaders. and no earnest man will
care q straw what the Cincinnati Convention
does, or forbears to do. If Mr.. Sumner, MIR.
Schurz and Mr.. Greeley had gone to Connecti-
cut in this canvass and delivered each one bold,
ringing speech, Jewell might have been beaten
by majority of thousands, and the whole
Grant party would have trembled 10 their
shoes. These anti.Grant leaders could then
have gone to Cincinnati clothed with an
ascendant influence, aud have dictated the
politics of the ensuing four years. Having let
their I vessel at ebb' tide, tide, and plunge it
from the stocks into the mud. The
Democratic party will waste no more
breath on The Liberal Republican leaders,
but will hereafter appeal directly to the peo-
pie. The leaders fear that, If they break with
the Grant wing Of the party, they will not be
renomlnated for Congress, or will lose their
other offices. The people are swayed by no
such motives. The confessions which 30
many eminent Republicans have made that
Grant has dlsgraced his office, and is unit for
the Presidency. have made an abiding impres-
sion on their minds, and they risk nothing by
voting 8 Democratic ticker. If they should
feel pride of consistency, they are protected
by the secrecy Of the ballot. II will be easy for
the readers of the anti-Grant Republican Jour-
nails, after the exposures ofthe last four months,
to vote Democratic ticket. Our appeS}A will
hereafter be made to the honest m1ss of
voters; and with liberal platform and some
such man as Charles Francis Adams or Judge
David Davis as the candidate, we can proba-
bly get as many Republican votes as we could
have done through Cincinnati alliance.
Since the Liberal Republicans have refused to
lift finger against Grant 10 Connecticut, we
can see no use OF any further billing and COO.
ing with their leaders. 1t Jewell Is defeated
in Connecticut, 1t will be Democratic VIC
tory pure and simple. Let that election 60 as
1t may, the Democratic party will depend on
itself, sending lis own recruiting ohcers
among the dissatisfied Republicans, and en-
listing them directly and individually into the
Democratic army, instead Of expecting them
as organized regiments raised by the Liberal
Republican leaders.

The Washington correspondent of the Ba

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette writes:
Mr.. Belmont, of New York, chairman OF the
national Democratic executive commute, ar
rived here few days ago, upon private ousl.
ness, as he alleges. Whilst here he thought
he would like to confer with Democratic mem
bers of Congress upon the political situation,
and the action of the party In the coming
Presidential election. A pleasant way TO meet
these gentlemen would be at the dining table,
and so Mr.. Belmont arranged with Welcker to
get up dinner, and to this was Invited some
OF the Democratic Congressman. An agree
able evening was thus spent, and profitable.
one, for there was general interchange OF
opinions as to the course that should be pur-
sued by The Democrats in the matter OF nomt-
naling candidates.
There was unanimous concurrence upon
the proposition that the Democrats should not
take part In the Cincinnati Convention IN
MAY. and that in case that convention nomi.
mated Judge Davis, 1t will be good policy for
the Democrats to make the same nomination.
This was the upshot of this dinner assemblage
in its political aspect The parties did not
expect the occurrence to go to the public, and
they do not claim for their action any authorl-
tative character. Mr.. Belmont and his frlenas
have no more authority to dictate the course
that shall be pursued by the Democratic party
than the humblest member thereof, and they
claim no higher authority.

TIE LIBERAL MOYEMENT.
What Horace Greeley Says About 1t.

The Tribune, in commenting on the New
York call for the Cincinnsti Convention, says :
The letter oil certain New York Republicans
to Colonel Grosvenor Is the first unequivocal
response from the East to the overture OF the
Liberal Republicans OF the West for copsnlta.
tion at Cincinnati on the first of May next.
Others will soon follow. There is no longer
any excuse for doubt that the convention will
be held and will be respectfully attended. We
presume that should any important action be
taken at Cincinnati, those present from
each State would designate portion OF their
number to cast the vote Of their State IN that
convention; but no one Is excluded from at
tending. and the invitation Is 80 broad that
many will doubtless be present who have not
been Invited. Cincinnati pro6ers all gene.
raj welcome. Whether the convention will
determine to put forth declaration OF prtnci-
piles and present national candidate, or adopt
some other form of appeal to the country, no
one Is entitled to forecast. Whatever It shal!
do or PROFOUND will necessarily derive Its
force from Its accord with public sentiment.
This convention speaks with no authority,
and claims no power but that which may be
accorded the intrinsic worth of Its acts and de-
clarations.

THE IRIsH RIFLE CLUB BALL.
A Brilliant Assemblage OF "Fair Wo-
men and Brave Men,"

The inaugural ball of the Irish Ri1e Club
took place last night at the Hibernian Hall,
and proved as brilliant and gratifying sue
cess as the many friends and well.wishers Of
this gallant corps could have hoped for. At
their first parade, on last St. Patrick's Day, the
club established lis reputation as one of the
finest organizations in the city, and their ap-
pearance last evening in the ballroom, In the
more difficult position of hosts, sustained
their claims. The weather was propihous,
and at an early hour of the evening stesdy
flow of white dresses and uniforms towards
the gates Of the hall showed that the merry
time was at hand. In the vestibule the gal
liant captain and his committee were in walt
Ing, and the guests were received with every
courtesy and attention. From above, the hum
of conversation and gay laughter could be
heard as the splendid hall became filed, and
soon the inspiring strains of the opening march
brought the company out upon the floor.
Then the uniforms began to circulate among
the throng, and "order from confusion sprung"
as the brilliant company moved off by couples
in the stately march. Early In the evening
the hall was crowded. The ladies seem to
have long anticipated the occasion, and the
consequence was bewitchiDg array of youth
and beauty, added by all the fascination of the
bewildering toilet which was enough to set
the heart of any young Irishman beating the
DEVILS tattoo against the corded bosom of his
handsome gray coat. Uniforms, too, were
quite the rage, and the happy wearers SAC
cepted the situation" Dance after dance fol-
lowed in pleasing succession, until the latent
Irish Reel, with It's vivaclous music and rat
tllng step, made the dancers, one and all,
relish the intermission which ensused. Later
the dancing was resumed, and kept up until
morning drew on apace.
Among the honored guests present were the
Hon. A. G. Magrath, Alderman Bernard
O'Neill and many others of note. Mullers
Band furnished the music, and on the stage
hung the green flag, bearing the eternal mot
to, '.Erin go Bragh." The ball was conducted
with courtesy and grace, and will long be re-
membered as one which reflected credit upon
the guests, and did honor to the hosts.
