THE GERMAN STAMPEDE.
A Fight To Be Made on Rev.

CINCINNATI, April 2S, 1872.
The only news OF note to-day Is the arrival OF q
part OF the Missouri delegation and OF the half
dozen managers Of the fortunes OF John M.
Palmer Governor Palmers son and A. W.
Edwards, editor OF the Carlnvile Demo
crat, were interviewed by me to-day. They
represent that Governor Palmer has made no effort
to gather mass meeting to come here and hurrah
for him. Edwards said that Illinois win not send
above five hundred people altogether, and they are
about equally
DIVIDED BETWEEN DAVIS AND TRUMBuLL.
He says Davis cannot poll 10000 votes In the
State, that his strength there Is fictitious. Old
fashioned democrats oppose him because OF his posi-
ton on the legal tender decision. There is EVIL
IDENTIFY no love lost between Davis ana Palmer.
As to Trumbull, 1uiner's friends allege he sent
"o'o ~ uon0'ai Daiinel py u plown, sergeantat-
A'n'. saying that he (TrumbulD wanted Palmer
nominated, and would support him. After Trum
bull made his big speech In New York, however, he
was pulled up to believe he could be made Pres-
dent, and set
CAMPAIGN OF HIS OWN ON FOOT,
and run In Schurz and the Germans to support him.
The Germans of Illinois are severe on Palmer
for having signed the Adair bill, rendering
saloon keepers and their landlords responsible
drunken men. The whole Western country as far
as the Germans are concerned is excited on this
Adair law which is now the rule In several States
Palmer's friends say that
THE WHOLE GERMAN VOTE IS LOST
without doubt Schurz has carried all his country
men, as the pied piper led Off the school children.
There Is very little doubt that the Germans
will come here divided between Trumbull and
Brown. Many of the Ohio Germans have
heard of Adams; but Schurz and Koerner they
will take their cue from. These gentry, Palmer
and Davis live in the Congressional district.
Palmers friends say he is worth less than hun
dred thousand dollars; that he Will support
TRUMBULI, BROWN OR ADAMS,
and that my despatch OF last night as to FentOn
coming over to Palmer is well grounded. There Is
general dlstrust here among the better lib
erals of both Fenton and Mcclure. All the
revenue reformers insist that no subterruge
be used on the tariff question, but that the Missouri
resolutions must be Incorporated in the platform.
HERALD reporter called upon Coloner Grosvenor
to-day, who gave him the eccentric Information that
the 10 delegates just arrived from Missouri
were oil for Trumbull. Palmer men undoubtedly
have confidence in some sort OF Cancellation to be
wrought out
BETWEEN FENTON AND THE DEMOCRATS.
1t is noticed that the Palmer men discourage any
effort to treat the protection question in the plat
form. small Minnesota delegation came here to-
day, all for Davis. The news from Chicago Is that
the reformers there win go for Adams if they find it
impossible to nominate Trumbull The only
POSSIBILITY OF ADAMS NOMINATION
is the union of the Western reform elements upon
him, sinking the tariff issue. Horace White is re-
pvItcd saying that, next TO Trnmbnll
he will prefer Adams. The democrats have
abated good deal OF their arrogance. Robert
Christy and others urge that every man promi
nently named for nomination is of first class, and
worthy of the democratic support. Some of
THE MORE wILFUL DEMOCRATS
allege that the whole movement for Davis was job
contrived between Jim Robinson, the Chicago Times
and George Morgan, of Ohio. The demo
Gratis here generally dislike Morgan for
his foolish vanity in wanting an in
consequential and honorary nomination against
John Sherman, at Columbus, which nomination put
a republican in the Senate for six years. They say
that Morgan has been lddling and
COURTsEYING AROUND DAVIS
for several months with the same miserable effect
as resulted from his complimentary ballot at Column
bus. Wash Mclean said to-day that August Bel
mont when here, had expressed satisfaction
with Trumbull as the liberal candidate. The Free
Trade League and Taxpayers Union will present
force insisting that recognition Of revenue reform

The city is full Of newspaper reporters. David

THERE WILL BE SEVERAL NEGROES
in tho convention. Fred Douglas comes here at
Summers suggestion to get some declaration

Treasury clerks and others are in town for some
mysterious purpose. rumor prevails that James
G. Blaine has made
A COALITION WITH HENRY WILSON.
and that the twain will try to carry the Philadelphia
Convention upon the argument that Blaine can
solidy the party, which is else irrctrievably rup
tured singular feature OF the Cncinnat Il Conven-
ton is the fact that several avowed Grant men are
on the reception committee, and have paid
money literally to make the gathering
success. The advocates Of the Convention
keep up tone and spirit, and steadfastly
disregard any threats from the democracy.
they say that the Congre democrats have
barganed with Davis, and are now trying to make,
the contract good, but after the Convention makes
q choice they will think better of their resentment
and try to conclude new bargains with the lucky
candidates.
