The subject Of the approaching Liberal Conven-
Non-a term now generally adopted In lieu OF the
original title of Liberal Repubcan'-fs Cincin-
natl and lifts up the heart Of the real estate
and tavern landlord. 1t Is, on the whole, poor
city for big conventions In every sense but two
geography and hospitality. 1t is central for the
present purpose, and a large portion of the inhabi
tants are friendly to the personages and objects Of
the Convention.
CINCINNATI CONTEMPORARY.
There are plenty OF little and cheap hotels here,
aud no large and good ones The Burnett House,
which is the biggest, is a smoky depot-looking
structure, with a dark, cavernous bar where the
gas burns all day and gives poor Illumination at
that. The main lobby up stairs, where most OF the
button hong will be done, is tolerably spacious,
and ornamented by OF Boards colossally mourn
ful pictures called "The Last Man." That man win
md himself looking at his counterpart good many
times next week, when the last man in asks for
rooms and hears the monotonous answer OF mo"
Around the Burnet House purlieu are hundreds Of
lawyers offices, which will probably be put at the
disposal Of friends of the Convention and friends OF
the said lawyers for conference rooms, caucuses
and headquarters.
The Spencer House is the second place Of enter
tainment In point of extent Then comes the
Walnut street, the Gibson, the Exchange and a
dozen second rate places, comfortable but small,
and sure to be crowded In that part of the city
called "Over the Rhine" and it, many
coscy German taverns, and, besides, the Reception
Committee is now fitting up number of large dor
mitories attracting for this purpose the cupdty of
certain upholsterers and propretors Of empty ware
house floors. There is little fear that, however
great the crowd all will find quarters, as Cincin-
natl left to itself Is never full The wave of emgra

even in times of excitement Is welcomed.
The townspeople are intelligent, about half
Western and not likely to let any respectable per-
son OF any party go without bed geographically
the city is great shakes; all the streets one way
IRE anonymously nat, and all the other way climb
up somewhere or slip down. The place is not
moral, being midway between Hamilton and
Xenia and the State OF Kentucky, the first two. G

THE CINCINNATI PRESS ON THE CONVENTION.
d
wide-awake and yet provincial newspaper press,
In the interests Of individuals, with slight gen.
eral leaning toward the public safety. Not
one Of these papers win assume toward the Con-
vention steadily magnanimous and welc ONE
tone, and II will be, In measure without vehicle
OF expression upon this spot. The democratic

It's credt joncer and looks generously askant upon
the gathering which 1t will, nevertheless, welcome
Yith much ceremony, and be at liberty to repudate
It the moment II disperses. The former editor and
director of the Enquirer who has nOminay retired
from It, was at one time prepared to support John
Logan for the Presidency. There Is no clue to the
present preference OF the paper, except that the
The commercial would give the Cincinnati Con-
vcntion hearty and impartial support but for the

against Davis-perhaps experimenting that ne Is 10
De the nomtnee-and IL will therefore appear 10 ne

count OF its choice. John sherman has always been
alleged to have some mental, moral or managing
jnnuencc over this racy newspaper, and he has been

tion. The Gazette opposes the liberal movement
with courteous words and might be called on the
fence, with both boots hanging over on the Grant
side. fhe afternoon coalition paper called the Times

THE LAY or TIiE LAND.
Il looks very much at this writing as III Trumbu
would gobbc up the strength Of Adams and Gratz
Brown, and leave the Greeley element to make
choice between Davis and rumbull. The fight for
the nomination, rs II stands, is very pretty ma tch
between these two, Trumbull coming IN rather late,
but supported by energetic and buoyant friends.
THREE NEW ENGLAND STATES FOR DAVIS
The MANAGERS OF Judge DAVIS campaign assume
that the delegations from Main, New Hampshire
and Rhode Island at Cincinnati will be largely in
his favor, persons having been placed more than
tnue month ago In each of these States to take
charge OF his iIltercsts. Senator Sprague taking
his cue from the 6cm0crauc Darty announces him.
