little influence in deciding the composition Of
tho body but it ls none the less clear that
others than office holders have been quite al
influential. Any one who will read the names
of the delegates will see that the larger part OF
them are men who have been more or less iden-

fairly represent it's character Gen. Grant il

Summer against him, indeed, it is difficult to
how any Republican, who does not differ from the
administration on grounds Of principle, can fail
to throw up his hat for Grant"
AUGUST BELMONT Is FOR GREELEY.
National Committee wrote, on May 21st, to O.
W. Woolley, an Ohio Democrat, a letter on the
situation. In it he said
81 take it for granted that all thinking men
have come to the conclusion by this time that
the nomination of a straight Democratic ticket at
Baltimore will either elect Grant by the people,
in case OF GreeleY's withdrawal, or throw the
election into the House il Greeley should stand,
and then, also, Grant will be sure to elected. II
the Convention can be got to nominate Greeley
at Baltimore with anything like unanimity, the
large body of the Democratic party throughout
the country will vote for him, and we shall have
enough Republican votes to make the election
more than probable, even il we should lose one
tenth of our vote by detection and apathy.
Between now and the 9th Of July Greeleys
strength must show an increase or decline, and
ii will then be for our Convention to adopt what
course may be wisest. Though he is to me the
most Objectionable person whom the Liberals
could select still am decidedly OF the opinion
that our wisest policy will be to endorse the Gin
cinnat platform and ticket This is the general
feeling in this State, and our delegation to Bat
more, il, by large majority, composed OF
Greeley men. As our delegation mon vote as a
unit, you may set New York down almost certain
for Greeley
''BErwEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA-
Now here is a funny expression, but evidently
candid one. It comes from leading Demo
del Advertiser:
"As it is, we seem to be between the Devil
and the Deep Sea. If the Baltimore Convention
nominates Greeley we apprehend a Democratic
split IL it don't nominate him, ditto. In trying
to cut the Grant cohorts in two, the Democracy
may expose itself to a similar operation. The
times are out of Joint, The rogues have bound
the honest men aud are cutting the house. II
the Democracy were pure and immaculate there
would be more hope for the country. But the
Big TAmmAnies and Little Tammanies have gol
far to make the people suspect that the thieves
and rascals are not all Republicans. The exhi
bitions Of profgacy and corruption last wint
in our own Legislature have fallen with heavy
weight upon the public mind.
The outlook is not encouraging"
WHAT BowLEs TEsTIFIEs TO.
The great enthusiasm, earnestness, and moral
force of the Philadelphia Convention impressed
all who were present. Even Sam Bowles Of the
Springfield Republican cannot deny it, though
he is utterly opposed to the President He says
"The Convention greatly encourages the Re-
publican leaders. 1t was better every way
larger, heartier, and exhibited the party organi-
cation in stronger condition than they feared
would be the case. Quite number Of promi-
nent men appeared in ii who have been thought
doubtful. Some OF them would not have been
here had Mr.. Adams been nominated at Cincin-
natl. 1t is felt that the Greeley movement has
"a
certain that it has not broken or weakened its
| organization. What it will take OF its voters s
perhaps another question, and cannot 30 easily
| be told now, but the mon here mean business.
| They have started the campaign strongly; they
purpose to follow il up sharply and vigorously
| they will have behind Grant and Wilson the
| strongest combination of political interests that
were ever rallied to the support of Presidential
/ ticket"
THREE TICKETS IN THE FIELD AND WHAT THEM
Bowles paper, (the Springfield Republican,
/ editorally declares SAT present the omens are
certainly on the side of Philadelphia" " and pre-.
cedng this, says
ut is probable, therefore, that midsummer
| will see three tickets in the ield-and tickets
too which will have to come to stay. OF course
that spectacle will mean the reelection Of Gen
Grant. 1t cannot well mean anything else, un
less we are to have political miracles of somI
sort worked in the meanwhile. If, however
the project of third nomination shall for an!
| reason be abandoned, we shall see what w
shall see. In that event, a fraction of the em
bryo third party would doubtless go over t
Grant, another fraction would lind Greeley thu
loss Of the two evils, while another Fraction
still would simply stay away from the polls
Upon the relative size Of the fractions nigh
possibly depend the result of the CANVASS"
