General Lew Wallace indorses the re-
tention of the Liberals, and says il is his
opinion that the reason why Van Trump
is so much against the Cincinnati Con-
ventiOn is mainly because he is exercised
over BelmOnt's neglect to invite him to
a caucus recently held at Walkers.
Belmont was interviewed here in the
interest of Charles Francis Adams, and
cautiously replied 20 the questions put to
him thus: Mr.. Adams was a statesman
of whom any country might be proud;
that he had family of fine and inquis-
tive sons, and ought to have the credit
Of keeping up the pride of his ancestry,
etc. Nevertheless, il is the general be-
lief that Mr.. Davis is Mr. BelmOnt's
first choice, and Mr. Trumbull the sec
Ond choice. He spoke with good sense
to the following effect: That he was in
favor of the Cincinnati Convention be-
ingwhat it had started out TO be-a LibeT-
al Republican movement, simply and
wholly, and unaffected and minflu-
enced by Democratic opinion; that
he hoped the convention would organ
ize with skillfulness, so that it would
avoid the appearance of a mass move
ment, and be apt for business and rapid,
clean action; that he bad no sympathy
with Democrats pressing the claims of
their favOrites upon the convention, but
thought they ought to take a back seat
until after the nomination. Finally,
that be favored the Democrats doing
precisely what they had done in Mis-
sOuri-cashng their vote for the Cincin-
matt nominee, all other things being
equal and cOnsistent-and thus breaking
the Republican, backbone. No candi-
date, said Mr.. Belmont, after cleo
ton, can run a popular government
without relying in great part upon the
element which gave him his strength.
The Missouri and Virginia movements
are the acts Of statesmanship that stand
out most cOnspicuOusly in the last eight
years Of the Democratic party
Montgomery Blair says Justice David
Davis " would make a safe and deliber
ative President, ruling by equity; but he
would never be out in the advance of the
age or the party. He is a perfect con-
seTvative, and was many months max
ing up his mind 70 vote for Mr.. Lincoln.
Everything in Davis goes through pro-
cess of consideration, except his legal
decisions, which are made from a sort of
horse intuition. You may cry in vain
. This is the law but the old fellow will
put down his hand and say, This is the !
right Probably no Judge exists who is /
50 decisive, fearless and direct in 4
his office, and vet on worldly and |
personal matters 50 slow and hesi- /
tating. He has got rich by hesitating |
and eminent by his decisions" And of |
Gratz Brown, that he is man of long i
and large public service-a representa- /
tive IN the State Legislature, a United /
States Senator Of modest but effective (
an able leader of masses /
and worker out Of political accomplish I
ments. As Governor Of Missouri he had
redeemed the pledge he made when he
said, Before God we shall have a new
era of prosperity and repose in this
State. He is one of the few men in l
whom elOquence and executive ability 1
meet. He is both rich and eminent, |
and successful" d"
A correspondent writing to the New /
FORK World SAYS: "Of the three can
didates now most likely to receive the /

Eastern man, not yet publicly identified 1

liable to attack aimed at the prejOdices |
Of Fenians. Trumbull is a strong Re- 1
publican, whose participation in legisla- 1
ton which Democrats have earnestly |
8ssailed, would make it hard to defend /
him, and whose connection with the /
McCardle case has aroused prejudices /
quite strong, if also somewhat mistaken. |
Both are cold men, not known widely |

'ouri, when emancipation dawned
md the clank of shackles falling
rom millions of slaves quickly 1
lttested the truth Of his words. In 1866,
.ariieT than any other Republican states
nan except Mr.. Greeley, he demanded
amnesty, and in 1870 led the
irresistible host of Liberals who forced
rom a reluctant Radicalism the enfran-

few men in the country have greater
'Ower of reaching the convictions
nd sympathies Of a popular audience,
nd very few indeed have given

which defies any odds in a Just cause,
nd masters the hearts of brave people

ualities: A prophetic sagacity that has
ever yet been at fault, and a glorious
Ourage that forces admiration and warm
