What the Chairman Of the National
Democratic Committee Says.
New YoRK, May 5.-August Belmont
was interviewed yesterday, and said Of the
platform and nominees Of the Cincinnati
Convention "This is now but bomb.
shell. We must wait until we see its ef.
feet on the press, the people, and in fact
on many things. II must do further and
go further. II may be policy to adopt the
the ticket. Mr.. Greeley, In my opinion,
will run well in the Southern States; but
as said before 1t Is too soon 10 Judge
yet. I will do most anything to beat
this administration. Not that have
anything against Mr.. Grant, but l do not
like his idea OF government. The Phila-
delphia Convention must meet yet, and
then the Democratic party must act
wisely. It Is my opinion that the liberal
ticket will be withdrawn in September II
the Democrats make good nomination. In
the meantime judge II TO be better for
the party not to say or do anything that
Is bitter. What we might say now would
probably be turned against US when the
nominations are made.

CHARLESTON, May 5.-The Conserya-

dorse the Cincinnati ticket and platform
as eminently acceptable to the South.
TitusVilIe Courier Ditto.
TITUsvILLE, Pa, May 5.-The Courier
Democratic organ,) comes out strongly in
favor of Greeley for President, and says
we ought to make sure overthrow Of an
administration which has become
stencil In the noStrels of a great majority
OF the American people.
Another Endorsement from the st.
Louis Times.
The Times Of this city says: We shall
support Greeley and Brown cheerfully by
laboring for an endorsement of their
candidacy by the Democratic National
Convention, because: First, We believe
they can be elected. Second, Because if
elected they will free us forever from
semi.military despotism like that Of Grant,
and, because both are able and honest
men. Third, Because there Is no pros.
pect OF doing any better and great danger
that we might do much worse. Fourth,
Because II elected there Is hardly any
danger Of such ticket being counted
out by the methods so well known to the
Grant party. We predict that not only will
the Democratic party indorse the ticket
through their National Convention with
out dissent or division, but that it will
acquire new and unexpected strength,
and finally be ratified by the largest pop.
ular and electoral vote given to any can
didate Stree 1862.
An Expression from Senator Schurz'
Organ.
ST. LOUIS, May 5-The KasQich Post,
the organ of Senator schurz, announces
to-day its support Of the Greeley and
Brown ticket in the following words
"Aiter the anxious suspense which was
feltshere with regard TO the Cincinnati
Convention, It is by no means surprising
that the result Is not entirely satisfactory
to many persons. It is true that MIR.
Greeley is known throughout the land
as an honest and well meaning man, and
the Germans must especially appreciate
the really noble position, which his
Tribune assumed in contrast with all the
other English papers during the French
and German war, but for these very same
reasons the Germans cannot give all their
help, as they are to some extent aleniated
by some Of their nations, which to some ex-
tent must be admitted TO be not altogether
liberal, and putting the question, whether
more popular head might not have been
given to the reform movement, which
certainly originated here. Entirely justi-
fed as this feeling and disappointments
arc, still the Grant party will not profit
by them, for when people once begin to
criticise they are not likely to conflne
their objections to the candidates Of one
party, and what upright patriot is there
dissatisfied with Greeley's nomination
who would 80 much as think of Grant? If
the Cincinnati Convention has not put
forward the best man, that is surely no
reason for now voting for the worst. Ere.
quently in life, and above all frequently
in American politics. the experience Is
made that the best is simply not 10 be had
and then no other resource Is left for US
than to accept tho comparatively better.
