CINCINNATI, April %, 1872. ,
A large number OF delegates have arrived, and tho
difficulty OF evolving order out OF this chaos OF In
dividual and irrepressible angularity seems to
strike all. Everybody, no matter how insight
fcant-German or American-has his own notions.
As a leading spirit said to-day, "rhere Is too mucn
intellect In this movements 1t Is now generally
believed that Davis is not possible candidate,
the arrogance and activity OF the Congressional
and editorial democrats having expended them
selves and opened the eyes of the Convention to the
suspicion that tho Davis movement Is a matter OF
bargain and sale, with abundant pig iron at the'
bottom oft. Davis will get the first or informal
ballot the full votes OF Maryland, Indiana, and per-
haps Pennsylvania, with part of the votes OF Iowa
and some Of the Soutaern States.
PALMER FRIENDS SELLING OUT.
The friends OF John NJ. Palmer, who Is Davis most
bitter rival, have concluded a sale with Reuben e.
FentOn and A. X. Mcclure, by which, after the frst
ballot Palmer is to get sodly New York, Pcnnsyl
yania and Indiana with as much of Illinois as he
can carry of. 1t seems that Palmer despatched
M. b. Brown, instantly after he endorsed
the liberal movement, to hold this
conference with the Eastern political merchants
Greeley is understood to have transferred to Fem
ton attorneyship In the premises, and Palmer, re-
ciprocally, is to go back on revenue reform ana
consent to have protectionst for Vice President.

| Fenton have made this negotiation.
TRUMBULL'S CHANCES
The Western free traders have taken the alarm
and will rally alternately to the support ofTrumbull
or Brown, both Of whom are unmstakabe revenue
reformers. Trumbull will show considerable
strength at the outstart. Schurz Koerner and the
leading Germans are for him. He Will have
the bulk OF tho support OF Illinois, Iowa,
! Nebraska, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
| whole OF New York.
| GRAFT BROWN WILL PROBABLY DE NOMINATED.
II there be any faith in the word OF Reuben F..
Fenton Gratz Brown will come In with Missouri,
Kansas Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas-per-
haps Mississippi and Louisana-and at the
pinch Maryland and some scattering South
ern votes. It looks very much as II
Brown might be nominated. He will be present In
person, and, it is urged, he will encounter less OPP
position from the democrats than any other candi-
date Davis not excepted.
LATE AND TOO ROUGH.
George r. Pugh says that If Adams be the cand-
date he will stump Ohio for Grant. Mr.. Adams
has no other strength than Ohio and New England,
| and perhaps few votes from Michigan.
NO SHOW FOR FENToN, MCCLURE OR wARMoTH.
The original movers Of the Liberal Convention are
| already disguised with Fenton and Mcclure, and
look upon them political SPECTATORS, coming
| here to peddle for power. The Convention
at Cincinnati will be composed OF original
and indignant men, and people Ike Fenton,
| Mcclure and Warmoth will be handled without
gloves IL they attempt to cut up shines. Adams
letter is looked upon piece OF 'lligh Joint"
snobbery.
MILITARY CONVENTION IN NEW YORK.
Soldiers, Convention will be held In New YORK
In May, to protest against Grants nomination at
Philadelphia. The call is signed by Generals
Fitzpatrick, Bartlett and Barnum. J. D. Cox or
Judge Brinkerhofr will preside over the Convention.
