National Convention.
PHILADELPHIA, May 0, 1872.
Letters and kilograms from all parts Of the land
asking for accommodations at the different hotels
denote the eve OF preparation for the Republican
Convention. The first meeting OF one OF the city
executive committees has been held. and means
adopted to insure, far as possible, the comorta
ible accommodations of delegates from different
parts OF the country. Philadelphia has but six
really good hotels. Not than three of these
would be designated good by New Yorker; but
such rs they are they are entitled to the credit of
purveyng to the satisfaction OF their guests. The
Continental stands first; then the Colonnade at
Fifteenth and Chestnut; then the Lapierre, on
Broad street near the Academy OF Music;
the st. Cloud, the Girard, opposite the Continental,
and the st. Lawrence. Even now nearly all the
accommodations at these houses secured for the
use OF delegates and lobbyists; for there VIII be
lobbyists in number nearly equal to the delegates,
In influence possibly overriding them
WHAT THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION PROMISES.
Pennsylvania promises to send to this Convention
delegates quite 'protective in their feelings as
she did to Cincinnati and they will differ from their
liberal brethren point only-viz., they think
that Grant has earned the right to another term In
ONCE by his reduction OF his public debt and the
marked tendency he has manifested in be-
half Of o protective tariff, and, knowing
this, they ask "what better Mr.. Greeley give u.s.
or the democratic nominee whoever he may chance
60 be- All Is peace at home and abroad, the
manufactures OF the country are in a nourlshing
condition, and manufacturers making more
money now than they ever did BEFORE" And that
Is just where to put the question. ASK man how
10 II; no Ia riol
better now than he ever did before. He will not
change these practical benefits for promise Of bet
ter; and this is the reason Pennsylvania is for
Grant, and this is the the East and West and
North will unite on him. While he has promised
nothing, his administration has protected the in
terests Of the manufacturers.
OBSTACLES TO GRANT IN THE STATE.
But there is one serious obstacle In the way OF
Grants carrying Pennsylvania. l refer to the
nominate ons for State officers. Unless Hartranft
can be carried tn rough in October Grants chances
are ccidedly SLIM John W. Forney regards the
nomination OF Hartranft as a very unwise pro-
eding at this critical juncture, for the reason
that Hartranft is not popular man with the
Peep lie. He is Of somewhat undecided
political standing, and there many people as
vet unsatisfed or the purity OF his course in the
Evans AFFAIR. II is not claimed . that
ne JAILED sr,as to tS.t out all right" ba,
connection with Evans, and told what he knew OF
others TO save himself: Otherwise Mr.; Hartranft's
record is oil right. He was a brave officer in the
war, and commanded his men on more than one
hard-fought, holly contested field. But there is
dissatisfaction In the ranks OF the faithful and the
liberals are doing all in their power to fan the fame
Mcclure Is the leading liberal here, and II were to
attempt to sum up his qualifications as apolitican
His principal occupation at the present time is dis
organizing the party that failed to appreciate his
talents and, present indications are trustworthy,
he will make the lob q success.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE NOMINATIONS.
The democrats will nominate State officers at a
Convention to be held at Reading some time this
month. II is believed that Senator Buckaew will
be the nominee for Governor, and Judge Thompson,
OF this city, for Judge OF the Supreme Court. Both
are gentlemen OF excellent records, honorable, up
right and able; they will combine many elements OF
monizng the party. In the event of the democrats
carrying the October elections, and 1t is Of the
possibilities OF the day, the national re-
In Pennsylvania, and the liberals and
democrats, although not united in fact, will be
In influence Their combined efforts will lose the
state to Grant. This, learn on good authority, Is
part OF McCure's programme. He told me before
convention prove failure, we have our arrange
ments so far perfected with regard to the state,
aat we win carry i in spite OF Grant and Cameron

He VIII md when he needs their votes most he will
