CANDIDATES. .VEL TIIL IINL.

There is to be no lack of Presidential
candidates this year. The crop promises
to be abundant. so that it would seem al
parties and fractions of parties might be
suited in man to vote for.
In addition TO the numerous candidates
already in the field the liberal republicans
are to have another Many of them arc
so disappointed and sick at the nomination
OF Mr.. Greeley, that they have decided
not to stand it, and have issued call fol
another convention to be held in New
York to-day The call is signed by the
leading advocates in the country of free
trade principles, many of whom were
members of the Cincinnati convention
They object to the Cincinnati convention
on the ground that it was managed by
trickery, and to its nominee because he i,
an enemy of their principles. So they
will go forward to-day and make nom
ination to suit themselves. William Gull
en- Bryant will preside over the conven-
ton, and its proceedings will doubtless
be such as to command the support of the
largest portion of free traders, and reduce
considerably the votes upon which Mr.
Greeley counted.
Besides this nomination there is every
prospect. in case Mr.. Greeley is endorsed
at Baltimore as the candidate of the dem
ocratc convention, that another democrat
ic candidate will be placed in the field.
The opposition Of many leading democrats
and the larger portion of the party is so
strong against him that they will bolt il
he is nominated 1t is going to be impos-
sible for the Greeley men to have the par
ty in control if they force him upon it.

hees does, but the silent thinking masses
are with him. Arrangements have already
been made looking toward separate non
inatlon. Thus we shall have another dem
ocratic candidate besides Mr.. Greeley,
with probably black hat and coat. Should
this be the case the war Of the hats will

the campaign Will show large list of

The presidential vote OF 1868, electoral
or popular. of course affords no basis of
comparison at this early day but the tables
will be useful for reference. In several
of the States there has been complete
overturn in both the personal and polti-
cal construction Of the governments. y
large number Of provisional politicians
have been retired, and of those who re-
main, some have changed their principles
and others are waiting to see what will
turn up. The electoral vote of 1868 was

does not appear TO be Greeley man. In a
letter dated the 10th he says: "The truth
is that since the adoption Of the last three
amendments TO the Constitution of the
United States and the closing up of the
war question, our foreign relation, and
our domestic policy in matters of finance
and revenue are again assuming theil
natural prominence. To entrust these
great interests to an administration mad,
up and controlled by Mr. Greeley woult
be mere midsummer madness. The adj
ministration of the State department dur
ing the last three years has preserved for
the nation an honorable peace in the midst
of most delicate and embarrassing com
plications, both with Great Britain and
Spain, while that OF the Treasury has
steadily enhanced the public credit and
promoted the business Interests of the

FOR GRANT.

In the returns of the latest State cleo
tons the democrats have stood relatively
a little better. reducing their minority
about one-half. Some of the States have
swayed from one side to the other annual
" since 1868, local and temporary causes
often turning the scale. Mr.. Greeley S
supporters are counting confidently on a
close alliance with this powerful party to
carry out their enterprise. The leaders
and statesmen of the party are almost to a
man against it; but they are distrusted by
their constituency, and are themselves
looking forward to Baltimore with mingled
doubt and fear

The Pennsylvania democratic conven-

lively contest for the nomination and con-
