regarding the nominees OF the C'ncihhat'

The San Francisco Democrat (HberaD
accepts Horace Greeley as the candidate
of the liberal party;
"Although u high tariff man, Greeley
IL the first to propose that the discussion
of the tariff question should be left ~
the various congressional districts. He
was one of the first advocates Of universal
amnesty. His great talents are univer-
sally aclsno wlcdgcd. His eccentricitics are
the ground work of his popularity in his
own state. The Germans remember how
we'll and openly the Tribune defended
their cause during the French-Gerinan
war. When the rulers in Washington
could not conceal their hatred against
Germany, while they were helping France
by selling her arms and in other ways,
while the vsgabond American hummer
generals were slandering US, and our en-
tire diplomatic corps, with the exception
Of Bancroft, were playing into the hands
of the French, Greeley and his Tribune
openly and effectively entered into the
German cause. While the White House
| hated us, Greeley wes our friend. This
will not be forgotten in the present CAM
paign."
says:
"That Il is not to be denied that the
| nomination Of Greeley hnds more favor
among the democrats Than could have been
supposed immediately after the convention.
/ And it also appears that the liberal Ger
man press are far from unanimous in re-
preaching tho nomination. From this it
seems already quite probable that there
will be q democratic Endorsement Of the
Cincinnati ticket"
The Galveston (Texas) union, Irregular
republican, says:
1--WE observe that the platform which
the convention adopted, confirms all the
principles which lie vt the foundation of
the great republican party. For these
ideas wo have long worked, and shall
henceforth defend and advance them with
no less warmth than in the past. The
name Of Horace Greeley, the candidate of
the convention, is synonymous with polit-
ical honesty and public virtue. Greeley
has done more for reform than any other
political man of our day. 1t would be
impossible to find, in the way of political
honesty, almore fitting standard-bearer in
the coming contest than the philosopher
of the Tribune That we will heartily
give our support to such candidate does
not need further assurance"
The New Orleans 'Deutsch Zeitung lin.
dependency says:
"Greeley's nomination has made very
favorable impression ON very large ma
jority Of the nation. The Germans of the
west had fixed in their minds that another
man was to be the candidate, and their
dissatisfsetion was not grounded in prin-
ciple SO much as personality but with
Schurz as a leader they are much too hon
est and conscientious to give up the re-
form movement simply because their favor

The New York journal (democratic)
says:
1.-THE American people are fond Of
change, and it would be no wonder if
they permit the generals and lawyers to
stand aside and elected newspaper man.
Greeley is honest beyond doubt. has been
an active politician, has had no reward,
and it would be but natural that the peo-
pie should now testify their appreciation
Of his merits by clecting him president
1t finds some things to dislike, but much
to praise in Greeley, and does not forget
one thing, that the Tribune has been the
Germans friend.
The New Jersey 'Freie Zeitung

Greeley some hope Of tho publication Of
the republican party. 1t does not forget
his services and abilities
The Buffalo Democrat (dem.) says !:
"The Cincinnati convention has proved
that the republicans are not all blind par

Grant, and the turning to Greeley, is not
