Special to the Union and American.
CINCINNATI, April 80.-The prepare
lions for the great convention tomorrow
are completed. There Is great and en-
thusiastic gathering Of Republicans here.
The numbers and the character Of the men
that have come up as delegates to the con-
vention, impress locker on with the fact
that the revolt against Grant in the Repub-
lican camp Is even more formidable than It
has been represented. Agrsat deal Of can
wasting Of the strength Of the respective
candidates before the convention has been
going on all day, every man urging reasons
why his favorite should be chosen. This is
done, however, IN friendly spirit, and the
prospects for a harmonious session ara very
fattering. Adams, Trumbull and Greeley
seem the more acceptable. The friends of
Judge Davis are clamorous for his nomins-
ton, but 1t is not thought he would be ac-
ceptable to the leading Liberal Republicans.
The delegates talk as If they felt sure of
the support of the great body Of the people
of their respective States for the ticket that
may be agreed upon. The caucussing to-
night is unusually active.
Second Special.
CINCINNATI, April 30.-Adams is losing
ground. Greeley has unexpected strength.
New York is solid for him. Pennsylvania
is solid for Curtin. The feud in the Illinois
delegation is more bitter than ever. The
Davis movement seems now to have 1ostl
strength, though to-day 1t was quite formi-
dable. The Missouri delegation, headed
by Carl Schurz, is earnest for Brown, and
his friends are active and hopeful. Cox, of
Ohio, is talked Of as possible candidate.
The organization will probably be effected
tomorrow.

CINCINNATI, April S0.-The arrivals to-
day have been steadily going on and from
some directions have been immense. The
city is full of strangers and the interest Is
increasing every hour. It has been settled
that Judge Stanley Mathews viii be tempo
rary Chairman of the Convention. Furth-
| er than this nothing Is settled In reference
to offices, though there Is much specu-
lation relative to the permanent officers
Contrasting Candidates
The interest relative to candidates has
never been so great as to-day. A great
pressure is making for JUDGE Davis, and
| his friends talk confidently. A train of II
cars came in at II O'Clock from Paris, Decatur
and other cities in Illinois, bearing delega-
| fI,rt Il, la 70 t.
lie claimed they are all very largely for Da-
Wis. The friends Of Adams hardly seem so
confident, though there Is so much chaos in
opinion that It is not safe to make
predictions. The Kansas delegation
| held a meeting at the Calf House
/ this morning, and declared informally for
| Trumbull, but showed no disposition to
make fight for him or indeed any candi-
| date. Greeley appears to be their first
| choice for Vice President. The delegation
| from Illinois are much divided and efforts
| are making toward cOncilistion. Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri and other delegations
hold meetings this afternoon, the results Of
which doubtless will give some indications
Of what may be expected from these States.
The Tennesseeans
held a meeting at the Spencer House this
A. NJ, and were addressed by Col. Collin
and Col. Byrd, the latter from East Tenn.
The Illinois Triumvirate.
At a meeting Of the friends of Davis,
Palmer and Trumbull, from Illinois, held
| this forenoon, an agreement was reached
by which iG the Convention Davis is to be
| entitled to half of the deleg ites from Hi
| nois, the remainder to be divided between
| Palmer and TruIDbull. 1t is thought with
! out doubt this will be acquiesced in by the
general meetings this afternoon Of the llli-
nois delegates, thus settling question that
has given considerable anxiety.
LAIER.-At a general meeting Of the |
Illinois delegation to the Liberal Republi- |
can Convention held this afternoon, the |
following committees we're appointed to |
recommend permanent delegates TO the |
convention: for Davis, Hon. Leonard Swell, |
Writ Dexter, A. Gridley, \. K. Fairbanks. |
For Palmer, Z. ID. Haines, Richard Rout, |
z. W. Edwards, NJ. B. Brown. For Trum- |
bull, Ex-Leut. Gov. Koener, o. NJ. Hatch, |
Isaac Keyes, VIM. Jaynes. The meeting |
was large and somewhat excited. 1t Is |
claimed that some of the committee have |
not been closely identified with the move |
ment.
Night and Chaos.
CINCINNATI, April 80, P. M.-The day |
has been one of excitement among those |
interested in the Convention which as
sembles tomorrow. Each batch of dele |
gates that have arrived added fresh fuel and |
rendered it even more difficult to indicate !
what the result will be than early in the
day. So far as candidates are concerned |
there is chays, though ii appears quite evil |
dent that since noon the feeling In favor of
Greeley
for the first place has been increasing. The
delegation from New York has received re-
Inducements from other quarters in favor
of their favorite, and the general talk among
delegates indicates growing strength in
this direction. New York has decided to
stand " him indefinitely for the chief place.
Missouri to-day at meeting Of delegates
declared for
Grats Brown
as their first choice, and when it was sug-
gested that they should indicate some per
son as a second choice there was decided
expression Of opposition to at present con-
sidering q contingency that would make it
necessary for them to make second chaice.
They did not select their delegates TO repro
sent them in the Convention, but win do 50
to morrow.
The New England delegates held q gen.
cTdl AZ ID ucIc
that there is not as many delegates from all
tie States of New England as there are
votes to be cast. From New Hampshire
w. II. Cove is the only delegate. Maine
has Hamlin of Portland, j. L. LyfOrd and
D. L. Wright of LewistOwn, Mnnson of
Bangor, Perkins of Ellsworth. Massachu-
sets has few more delegates here than
votes.
New England, Il Is said, viii give the
first complimentary vote for
Summer,
then for Adams first and Trumbull next,
and would, it is said, be willing to take
both Adams and Trumbull on the same
ticket, without regard to the person for the
first place. Edward Atkinson is chairman
of the Massachusetts delegation, David A.
Wells of the Connecticut and Edward Har-
ris of the Rhode Island.
In the event of Trumbull's nomination
there Is some talk that
Henry II. SeIden
will be urged for The second place BY at |
least part of the New York delegation.
The Pennsylvania delegates, ffty-six in |
