PENNSYLVANI LIBERAL REPUBLI Jeans.
A Special Meeting Of the Cincinnati Pol
iticians'-General Thomas Question
Strangely Answered = McClure's
Definition of the Movement

PHILADELPHIA, April 20, 1872.
meeting of the liberal republicans of this city
was held to-day.
Colonel Mcclure, who was called to thu chair
said that the meeting had been convened for the
purpose OF making arrangements to attend the
Cincinnati Convention, which was a mass move
ment, without being entangled with the usual
political machinery, hence the necessity for this in
formal meeting.
General william B. Thomas wanted to know II he
was In the right place. He was going to Cincn-
natl; but he could not participate iu the movement
If the CALL as published, was binding on those who
go. He was engaged on work looking to the ami
hilation Of the republican party, and was OPP
opsed to any candidate nominated by the
Philadelphia Convention-Grant or any other man.
When in Cincinnati he proposed doing all he could
to kill the republican party. He and other gentle
men had organized State Central Committee, and
a call had been issued for the election Of delegates
to-day to the Cincinnati Convention.
Colonel MClure-Will these delegates be chosen
as RepublicansY
General Thomas-Yes.
Mr. worrell-Will they vote for Republicans
General ThOmas-Our object Is to defeat Presi-
dent Grant, and any Republican nominee.
Colonel Mcclure said that only man OF loyalty
ann for President This was In
the lives Of the republican party. 1t was move
ment by republicans OF necessity but who do not
now stands. 1t is really break from the manage
ment OF party.
General Thomas said he had labored to build up
the Republican party, but he was free to say 1t
was the most corrupt party on the face of the earth
Mr.. Sypher said the delegation would go
pledged to Cincinnati. What is best to be done
under the circumstances will be considered.
Colonel Mcclure said the English Of the whole
thing was rebellion and bringing OF it to the dig
nifty OF resolution. Five years ago there might
OF military s power IN he South but not
now. The Speaker differed with Grant
on principle. The dangerous thing the free nsti-
buttons of the country had to meet was the policy
OF General Grant to carry elections by force OF the
bayonet. The South, to my mind has been more
desolated since the war than before 1t.
General Cake said that he would rather not be
bound to the support of nominees outside OF the
republican party.
MIR. Sypher moved that an executive committee
of thirteen, OF which Colonel Mcclure should be
chairman, be appointed, to have general charge OF
the whole movement.
Agreed to-.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.
Prussian Reiteration Against the English State
ment for War-Public Feeling Anxious
and the Tone Conservative
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

BERLIN, April 90 1872.
The Worth German Gazette to-day again denies
the truth Of the London Daily Tele97aph's
alarming statement in regard to the rela-
lions Of France and Germany; but the writer
takes occasion to remark that the last
speech Of President Theirs previous to the adjourn
ment Of the National Assembly has "produced an
unpleasant feeling throughout Germany, and that
the character OF the French war budget dictat es
caution on the part of Germany"
1t is evident, says the Gazette, the government
cannot permit France to hastily relinquish the
pledge she has made to Germany, and consequently
the occupation Of French territory by German
troops will be longer than would be necessary If
the relations between the two nations were more
favorable.
