said that Upton and Trumbull will toll
low on Sunday. Mr.. Sumner will not
nor will Mr.. Fenton.
r. n. Bird, the leader of the Massa-
chusetts Liberal delegation, is here,
and says Adams foolish letter has
killed his chance for nomination. 1t
is also instructive to note that the OPP
position to Adams among the Demo
cratic members of Congress grows vio-
ant in proportion to the earnestness
with which the World presses him.
sCincinnati, April 26.-The approach
ing convention of the Liberal Reform
Republicans is the absorbing theme of
conversation on the streets and in the
hotels. There have yet been but few
prominent arrivals; large delegations
however, are expected tomorrow.
There seems to be great diversity
of opinion among those already here,
as to the probably course the conven-
ton will pursue, and the question Of
candidates is a matter beyond the reach
of intelligent speculation. So far as
can be cleaned from the opinions Of
gentlemen interested in the movement
there seems to be feeling in regard to
the Adams letter that is too cold in
tone, and not sufficiently explicit SEN
ator Trumbull s participation in the
| radical caucuses at Washington and
the authorship of the civil,rights bill
appears to some to be insuperable OBJ
lection to the nomination of the gentle
man. Gratz Brow's claims are urged
to the first place on the ticket only by
the Missourians, and there is a report
this evening that there is detection
among those gentlemen in favor of
Trumbull. Judge Davis is urged by
prominent Washington politicians now
here, and as yet there seems to be NO
objection to him, except as a doubt is
expressed as to his availability. Horace
Greeley has many warm friends, not
only among the arrivals here, but
among the editors Of the local press of
Cincinnati [ have heard some ex-
press the opinion that the struggle
would really be between Judge Davis
and Mr.. Greedy Each arriving dele
cation, however, modifes the existing
public sentiment, and twelve hours
hence it may be entirely changed from
what it is at the present time.

ton has arrived. The delegation has
two branches-German and American.
The German has Endorsed Schurz, but
has not declared it's views further. The
American is said to be nearly all 10 ia
vor of Judge Davis, but will not be
strenuous if Davis is rot nominated.

The number of Missourians in at
tendance on the Convention will exceed
five hundred.
A prominent lawyer just from Wash
ington, says that Senator Thurman
will go for the Cincinnati nominee
against any Democrat who may be put
in the field. G. W. Wolley, better
known as Buckeye" says that if
Charles E. Adams is nominated he will
support him in preference to any Dem
ocrat who may be up on the track.
There seems to be in this region
perfect confidence lin the cordial sup,
port which the Democrats will render
the nominees of the Liberal Conven-
ton. Governor Hayes is in the city,
and expresses the opinion that Adams
is the strongest man who can be put
in nomination. Wash. Mclean in.

and though there has been lull in

High House, most of whom will
arrive tomorrow night and Tuesday.
A rumor has been circulating to-day
to the effect that Horace White had
received letter from Trumbull in
which the latter had withdrawn his
name as candidate before the conven-
ton. While it is doubtless true that
Mr.. White has in his possession let
ter from Judge Trumbull, still there
are good reasons to believe it is not an
unconditionallwithdrawal It is By no
means sure that his name will not be
submitted to the convention.
Washington, April 29.--The Patriot
newspaper, the Democratic organ here
has an elaborate article to-day on
Charles Francis Adams, in which it
takes the New York World severely to
task in claiming that Charles Francis
Adams is the choice of the Democrats.

of gathering Democratic sentiments,
both in Congress and elsewhere. as
