THE LIBERAL CAMPAIGN.
THE MEANING OF THE HEAPPROACHING
ANII-GRANT CONFERENCE.
Why Senator Schurz Signed the Call
CHICAGO, June ID.
The announcement from New York thai
Senator schurz had signed the call for meet
Ing in sympathy with the party headed BY
William Cullen Bryant, receives fiat contra
dlction from Mr.. SchuIz's friends. He was
not asked to conference to take action
against the Cincinnati nominees. The repre-.
sentatlons made to him were that the meeting
was to be composed of those In opposition 10
the present administration, and the question
of the Cincinnati movement up to this time
has had no part in the proposed movement, 80
far as 1t Is understood by the friends of Mr..
Schurz.
The st. Louis Republican, tomorrow, will
contain the following, attesting the correct
ness of tine assertions of Mr.. Schurz's friends.
Says the Republican, in the exact language
sugge8ed by Mr.. schurz in reference to the
proposed New York consultation:
The meeting o; gentlemen opposed to the
reelection of Grant, which, according to dis
patch published yesterday, will be held In New
York on the 10th Of this month, is to be COM
posed of men representing all the different
shades of the opposition, and not, as has been
suggested In some quarters, Of men unfavor-
able to Mr.. Greeley as candidate for the Pres
idency. It's purpose is to unite all the elements
of opposition to COMMON action. The list of
the signers of the Invitation can hardly have
been complete. as we are informed on trust
worthy authority that the use OF the name Of
Senator Schurz was obtained only upon the
understanding that the invitation should be
signed also by some other gentlemen known
to be friendly to Mr.. Greeley, and distinctly
representing the Cincinnati nominees, and
should be addressed to prominent men known
to be of the same way Of thinking.
The Republican further states that the ''as-
sumption which has gone out from the East
that because Mr.. Schurz was disappointed In
the result of the Cincinnati nopinatlons he
will not support Mr.. Greeley, is very far from
being true. We have no doubt whatever that
the senator, should no opportunity be en-
braced before, will In his own emphatic man
ner establish the truth of this statement at
the meeting in New York on the goth. The
senator regards 1t as now certain that the
only candidates for President before the peo-
pie next November will be Greeley and
Grant,"
What is Said About 1t in Washington.
WASHINGTON, June IA.
The existence of the circular, published In
New York this morning with 80 much parade'
containing the names of Senator Carl Schurz,
Jacob D. Cox, william Cullen Bryant, Oswald
Ottendorrer, David A. Wells, and Jacob Brink.
erhoff, Recommending a meeting and confer
ence OF gentlemen opposed to the present ad-
ministraIion, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on
the Goth instant, was known to many promt-
nent politicians here when 1t was first circu-
lated, but 1t was not deemed proper To refer
to 1t In public manner until 1t should come to
the eyes of the public through the regular
chanaeL The meeting on the 10th, If 1t takes
place at all, will not, 1t Is we'll known, be nn-
friendly to Mr. Greeley. Every gentleman sign
Ing that call, with, 1t may be, one exception,
viii heartily support the Cincinnati ticket, al
though they were all originally strongly op-
posed to the selection of Mr. Greeley, and the
call expressly sets forth that 1t is to be q
conference Of gentlemen opposed TO the pres
enla administration.
Political Talk I'm WashinSton.
WASHINGTON, June ID.
The administration Is working upon Senator
Sumner through several. sharp colored poiltl-
clans, TO prevent him from openly declaring
in favor Of the Cincinnati nominees. The SEN
ator said recently thas tae nominatlonS ,s,,s1. az
Pt!ladelphia demonstrated that lne military
clIore at the White House have no regard
whatever for the interests Of the Republican
party, and that this clique was determined TO
both rule and ruin 1t. s
The news from every quarter received
through an extensive correspondence at Cne
Greeley and Brown headquarters IN this city
is of the most encouraging character. Let.
ters from prominent Republicans In many OF
the Eastern and Western States who will not
pronounce In favor of Greeley and Brown
until after the Baltimore Convention give as.
surances that at least twenty-five per cent. OF
the Republican votes will be given TOR those
gentlemen should they be endorsed at Balu-
more. AS sample of many other letters, the
following extracts are given from letter
dated aL st. Anthony's Falls, Minnesota:
"Fsm most happy to be able to state that
decided majority Of the Republicans OF this
city are In favor OF Greeley and Brown, and N
Minnesota will give them q majority oftwen-
ty thousand"
The news from the mining regions of Penn:
sylyania is very satisfactory. 1t is thought oy
gentlemen well informed that In that sectlon
Of the State one-third of the Repuollcans WIN
vote for Mr.. Greeley, as he is recognized as q
true friend Of laboring men.
The Democratic opponents OF MT. Greeley IN
washington have been quietly laying their
plans for eome time, and have had great hopes
OF success until very lately. The action OF the
state Democratic Conventions held IN kansas,
Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Wiscon,
ain. has completely overwhelmed them, and
they are forced to admit that there Is stam-
peie OF the Democratic party TO greeley.
'rhey feel now that the case is hopeless tor
them unless they can get Mr. Greeley 10 WIN
draw, and Of this they admit there is very nt-
II is beyond all doubt that Maryland and Vir-
e,nis will send solid delegations Tor MIR. Gree

No Earthly Doubt OF Baltimore En-
dorsing Greeley.
from Brooks's New York Express, Dem.1
Information now concentrated here leaves
no earthly doubt of the nomination OF Greeley
at Baltimore by great, very great majsrl-
ty. probably two.thirds and more. The noml,

thus start commanding success. When the
nomination is made, nine hundred and ninety.
nine ont of every one thousand Democrats Will
come into the liAe, and for every Democrat
lost there will be ten Republican gains. We
nova have as far as conventions have been
heidi every Western State pronounclng for
Greeley, including-and very unexpectedly
Indiana. despite Dan. Voorhees's pronuncla-

Abolitlonists, have Joined hands there, and
