The Old Democrats and the Warmoth
Rcformers to Meet I'm New Orleans ON
Monday and Tuesday-A Combination
Expected to Support the Cincinnati
Nominecs-Thc Press ON the Present
MIDDLE OF the Factions.
New ORLEANS, May 81, 1872.
Intense excitement has existed here throughout
the day, growing out Of the curious political COM
plicatons Many OF the delegates to the Dem
ocratic and Reform state Conventions have
arrived, and warmoth's friends are very
busy with them endeavoring to effect
coalition on the Greeley and Brown plat
form, with Warmoth as their candidate for Gov
ernor OF course the attempt Is met with bitter
and violent opposition, though 1t does not lack adj
vocates among very many OF the Oldest and most
influential citizens, who see through 1t the only
road to the States emancipation from radical rule.
The very audacity Of the proposition carries weight
with It, and, while it startes the wirepullers from
their propriety, for the first time it awakens the
more stoid citizens to due sense Of their des-
perate political condition.
PINCnBAcK's CONVENTION A SLIGHT PUZZLE.
The action OF the late Pnchback Convention was
entirely antagonstic to the general cxpecta-
ton-such political coup d'etdt on the part of
warmoth-that the democratic leaders, who con-
sidered themselves up to that time masters Of the
field, have not yet been able to view the situation
nationally. Even the press Is at sea, but like all
sudden revolutions, it has not been without impor
THE PRESS-PRO AND CON.
1t has driven the Picdv1tne out in open endorse
ment OF General Grant, as will be seen by the
following extract from this evenings issue:-
Is enough for that these delegates TO look
after the vital concerns of own State household and
under the persuasion of this supreme and imperative soil

the cataclym OF horrors with which IL Is fhrcatenedsbe

and Pnchback.
The Times on the contrary, has taken ground
equally decided in favor OF n coalition with War

gent persons that they would still fan far short Of
the strength OF the rcdical party: There could be no
hope OF eiecng anything In that direction except by
operating with fraction Of the dominant party For
divisions led by the present Executive presents itself
such circumstances that nothing easier than TO effect
combination with II which would secure the substantial
object OF both democrats and reformers.
The Bee mildly opposes the coalition, and the adj
ministration organ the National Republican, re-
joicng In the middle, contents itself with poking
fun at Its contemporaries. Caucusing Is going on
actively.
The Democratic Convention meets on Monday
and the Reform Convention on Tuesday, but no
definite course Of action has yet been determined
upon by either. Consulting committees have been
appointed by all parties, including the Custom
House faction. so you see the labor pains Of the
political birth, as foreshadowed by the HERALD,
arc already upon us in all their pognancy.
