THE CINCINNATI NOMINA-
TIONS.
How They are Received.

show slight sympathy, and nobody has
the temerity to predict favorable re-
sults-either Liberal Republicans or
Democrats. The child Is Fenton's
(which damnS it at once. He stated
that when he returned from Cincinnati
that GreeIey and Brown would be NOM
mated, showing the thing was set up.
There never was a movement inaugur-
ated thatso utterly failed at its very
inception, or fell SO dead at the start.
Democrats here, including Voorhees,,
Morgan and Others, engineers of the
Davis-Democratic coalition movement,
declare the Democracy must nominate
Democrat, and not bind themselves
to any such weak affair as Fenton's
baby. They are chagrined that the
split they counted on III the Republi-
cans is not so large as estimated. Even
Trumbull ridicules Greeley, Brown
and Sumner over his own signature,
and declines to embrace them. s..r
Here is a suggestive item from the
Commercial: @
Among the editors of some thirty
German papers (mostly daily of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, New York
and Pennsylvania, who met last night
at Vine Street lager beer saloon, there
Was not one who expressed himself in
favor of Greeley and Brown,
The reception at New York was as
follows: -;
Mr.. Greeley expressed surprise at his
nomination, and said he would accept
in letter.
Among the crowd outside the Tri-
bune office comments were of course
various. Some declared that the con-
yention made fizzIe of il and nOmin-
ated by no means the strongest man,
while Others with more enthusiasm
were sure that if any body could give
l the movement assurance of success it
was Greeley. Said one man, "You
have no idea of the hold he has among
1.-THE masses. The Worki3g-men will go
for him because they believe he is hon.
est, and that is the great thing after
ALL" 1t was suggested that ne could
not hope for any large position of the
Democratic vote, on account OF his past
record as an uncompromising foe of
the party, but the ready answer was
/ that his past record was of little impor-
tance, compared to his present posi-
! ton. His advocacy ofgeneral amnesty
] and universal equality, it was thought,
would give him greater strength with
the Democrats and with the people of
the South than any other Republican
would have,
+ The nomination has created q great
I sensation In the city and it is the cur
Trent topic of conversation. The Liber-
Ial Republican committee will give
Greeley serenade this evening, and
next week a roaring mass meeting
will give greater emphasis to the
event.
The Cincinnati Commercial says OF
the nomination.
Whether we find it our duty to urge
upon our fellow citizens the election OF
i Horace Greeley to the Presidency de-
pends largely upon that which may be
4 done by the regular organization of the
j old existing political parties. Mr..
I Greeley q few weeks ago frankly stated
that he would support the Cincinnati
nominee, providing the Democratic
party did not appear in the field in
4 form, attempting to take advantage OF
i iRepublican divisions; and in case there
was regular Democratic nomination,
The would support the strongest Repub-
.iiicau candidate. We have made SIM
! liar reservation as to our position in
Fl case of the nomination of Mr.. Adams,
,tand we repeat them in respect to Mr..
Greeley. .lsits.J
Il The Detroit Tribune, which has not
been by any means an "Administra-
ton paper" expresses the opinion that
t"Horaee Greeley's election to the
u IA. nj 70 Mos
would be public calamity"
:. Judge HOadly and Staply Mathews
are the conspicuous leaders OF a section
I of the Liberal Convention which has
! already split off and publicly declared
an intention not to support the Whitley
i Brown ticket.
The Democratic press in general
faVors the nomination of Greeley or is
non-eommittal on the subject. The
countrypress ofcourse will be mum until
the leaders decide whether the Liberal
ticket shall be received or not. The n
J Y. Haiald strongly favors the ticket
: though the canvass must be regarded
| a purely personal one--the Cincinnati
!, Convention having laid down no plat
form differing from that upon which
, Grant will. run. The course of Mr.
Greeley with regard to his paper vii
Fl be to sell his stock in the Tribune an6
f retire from its editorial control. News
y from North Carolina reports the Gree
ley fever high, and throughout the
South it is thought he will run well.
2 The Evening Post opposes the nomi
: nations and platform of the Cincinnati
Convention, and contends that Greeley
lacks the courage, firmness and consist
: eney required in Chief Magistrate
: that his political associations and init
t macies are bad, that he is bigoted pro
!, tectionist, and that his manners art
gross. 1t says Greeley can have M
: hope of an election, and if he runs at al
5 it would only divide the Republican
y party, leaving the field clear to the
q Democrats, who, should they have
sense enough, as many of them already
urge, to put up such ticket as Adam,
and Groesbeck, will bid fair to SWEEP
the field.
The Boston Advertiser calls the Con
4 vention ga ridiculous puss.
The Nashville Baas1er, (Dem.) ha.
: hoisted the name of Greeley anc
Brown.
The Detroit Post, an administration
paper, ridieales Greeley's nomination
; and says; 1T will not injure the Re
2 publican party in the least, while it vii
render the Democratic cause utterly
? hopeless" .as
: The Detroit Tribune Independent
s Republican, says: '.rhe 4truest ano
e most sagacious friends OF the Liberia
movement saw with regret Greeley's
