Masse - The Rush for Cincinnati
Alarm OF the Administration Organs
IRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
NEW YORK, April Is.
The coming convention at Cincinnati en-
crosses the public mind, and this morning thu
letter of Charles Francis Adams, which ap
pears in the daily Journals, ts the town talk.
In this locality, the current is setting very
strongly
m FAVOR OF ADAMS.
I have heard many Republicans, who have
hitherto been looking upon the Cincinnati
movement with GOODNESS and even hostility
declare that, If Mr.. Adams shall be the Romi
nee. circumstances will not permit them 10
vote for General Grants reelection. On the
Democratic side, there is, In high quarters, 6
very favorable feeling towards Adams. MT
Belmont, the chairman of the National Demo
cratic Committee, Is known to be In favor Of
Adams. and has recently gone West to Induce
The Liberal Republican leaders to put him In
nomination at Cincinnati. The World openly
advocates the selection of Adams as the can
.didate to oppose Grant, and, in double.leaded
Leaders, promises the support of the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. ADAMs's LETTER
seems to have given q new impetus to the
movement In his favor, and If 1t takes in The
West and South as it has here, 1t Is not at all
unlikely that when the Cincinnati Convention
meets next Wednesday, the nomination will
be rendered to him, amid q wblrlwlnd of &C.
.clamatlon. His availability, as compared with
that of Judge Davis or Governor Brown or
Senator Trumbull, is still a matter of discus
slou. Undoubtedly he Is among living Amer
lean statesmen north Of The Potomac the
one most conspicuous for elevation of charac'
ter, cool, selt-poised Judgment, and 'seminent
responsibility" In his Indifference to the
,allurements Of Office and contempt for the
petty arts of the d~emagogue, he closely resem-
bles Washington. The contrast, If he was
pitted against Grant for the Presidency, would
be an ar 4ument with the people needless of
demonstration. But 10 the Democratic ranks
there are some elements Of opposition to him.
THE FENIANs
fancy that he was slack In efecting the re-
lease of the naturalized Americans who were
imprisoned In England for participating In the
Fenlan rising. Colonel Warren, one OF the
FenIan leaders, Is bitterly opposed to him.
Among the Western Democrats he Is not
altogether acceptable. The Chicago Times,
the organ OF the Illinois Democracy. declares
that 1t will not support him. A Washington
dispatch published In the morning papers
says that Fernando Wood, In behalf Of the
Democratic Congressman, pronounces against
Mr.. Adams. Whether these signs of disap-
prevail of the Belmont-Wor action In this
locality would continue In face of q sponta.
.neous oul5urst in favor of Mr.. Adams at Gin
clnnati, remains to be seen. 1t Is not likely
that Mr.. Adams, ifnominated, would take an
active part in the canvass. The other gentle
men who are prominently named would GER
tainly 60 before the people. Probably the
man who could get up the biggest "hurrah"
and sweep the country with him would be
DAVID DAVIS.
The Judge is a magnetic man, great OF bulk
and sound OF mind, who could make a dozen
rattllng speeches a day for every day OF the
campaign without exhausting his strength, q
natural stump orator, with o broad, open
beaming countenance aud popular manners.
Davis Ia the favorite with the smart politicians
In the Liberal Republican ranks, and will go
to Cincinnati better organized for the contest
than any. OF his competitors. he Is the tfrst
choice OF the Labor Reform party, and has q
lafge following In Illinois. He would prooa'
bly, make a more thoroughly Democratic Pres
ideut than Adams or Trumbull, and Demo-
cratic politicians woule have a better show
for offices under his administration.
A BRowS
the Intellectual, courageous and great souled
governor of Missouri, is the favori1e of the Ger
mans, though it is said that Senator sc1urz has
q preference for Mr.. Adams. He Is u first
class man In every respect, an original Demo
crat by birth and training, and would make a
strong impression OF the country, II he should
go upon the stump. As the leader of the
movement which struck the shackles from the
feet of the ex.C onfederates in Missouri, he
would commend himself to the enthusiastic
support of the white element of the South.
SENATOR TRUMBULL
would be the least effective of the four public
men whose names are most prominently con-
nected with the Cincinnati nomination. Bis
nature is cold, his manner stiff, and his public
career not without its vulnerable points. But
his high character as a man and a statesman
would not be questioned. Senator Logan, one
of the strongest men with the soldier element
in the Republican party, has announced that
he will support Trumbull II he is nominated.
The other names canvassed tor the Presiden-
cy are those Of Governor Palmer, of Illinois;
Horace Greeley, Minister Curtin, of Penn
,sglvania, ex-Secretary Cox, OF Ohio, and Chief
Justice Chase. The first might be taken up In
case of an obstinate struggle between the
leading candidates for the nomination, The
last is virtually out of the race. Mr.. Greeley
has no expectation OF getting the nomination
now, and Is understood to prefer Mr.. Adams.
It is important that some provision should be
made In the ticket for
CARRYING PENNSYLVANIA.
For this reason the popular name of Curtin
has been put forward. he Is. still in Europe,
