The Cincinnati Commercial thinks that the

The Cincinnati Enquirer confidently asserts
that at "east ninetenths Of the Democratic papers OF
the United States are now for the Endorsement Of Greeley
other tenth will say likewise before the 9th OF july
Pleading for an oblivion of past bitterness
in parties as well in issues The Cincinnati Enquirer
addresses itself TO Mr. Voorhees, in this cogenE stye
"I Mr. voorhees, tell what are the present issues
that the Democracy and the liberal Republicans cannot
coalesce upon we will listen 70 him with interest but
when snakes in face tho old ratteboxes OF the

the highest interests Of our countrymen"
The Lancaster (Pa.) Express which is proud

Conceding the right of Democrats to differ
in opinion regarding tho best policy for their party to
follow The Indianapolis Sentinel protests against the
assertion Of Mr.. Voorhees, that "no honest Democrat
can support Mr.. Greeley without first abandoning his
principles" as being both offensive and untrue, and
adds We may err in our Judgment OF men, bqt u does
strike us forciby that Coy seymour AUGUST bSnG a

is the malicious comfort IL deals out to the hghtoned

gentlemen are TO accomplish anything, they must work
while It is called to-day. Whatever they do IN the way
of Presdentmang must be done before the Baltimore
Convention or through IT. II they cannot prevent the
ratification OF the Cincinnati ticket by that body IT all
up with them. Certainly they will have little aid or
comfort to expect from the antGreeley Democracy:

this faction The NeTork World has lattery been very
explicit upon this head. II has not yet hit upon single
Democrat says who advises eolt-a new convention
and nominatonin the event of Mr. Greeleys lndorse-
ment at Baltimore. GAN see that such bolt in such
case would merely transfer from the Convenlons
shoulders TO their the odous repute OF electng
Grant" There Is installing such an unequiyocai
notice as this, and IL hardly fail to nave stmu-
lating effect upon the 10 very respectable gentlemen on
whom the Steinway Hal Convention ana me boe1llhg
Post have devoved the responsible duty OF arranging
new candidacy. The first thing for these gentlemen 10
do IS obviously, to catch their cantdatea feat which
some predict will be found little more dheult than u

MIR. James @. Howard, late editor Of The
STATE Journal, Columbus, Ohio, publishes a trenchant
letter in The Cincinnati Commercial illustrative OF the
sentiment Of the West, regarding Grant and Greeley.
He says: "My residence at the seat Of Government
and experience as editor of the Central Republican
organ and as a member Of tho State Republican Execu
tive Committee, have gwen some knowledge, trust,
OF the inside and outside of politics, and what is more
important, some understanding OF the merits OF public

ness that Gen. Grant cannot govern this Re-
public His original selection "a the leader OF
the Republican party was calamitoIs blunder re-

outside Of his Cabinet who the craftsmanship
