soon to be made public.
Every Democratic daily newspaper in !
South Carolina has strongly Endorsed the
Cincinnati nominations. The leading
Republican Journal of the State las
placed the Greeley ticket at the head of
its columns
Ten Democratic papers in Mississippi
have placed the Greeley ID Brown tick
ct at the head Of their columns; eight
have declared for a straiaht,out ticket,
and twenty-eight beside are in favor of
the Cincinnati nominees.
Advices from Florida represent that at
caucus of conservative members OF the
Legislature the subject of the Cincinnati
nominations was discussed, and the un-
animous judg ment ofthe members present
was for aequiescenee in these nonrina-
tions.
New Orleans publishes four daily
Democratic and Reform newspapers, two
OF which ale strongly in faver Of the
Greeley ticket, and two, the Picayume
and Bee, for straight oat nomination
These are, we believe, the only dailies in
the State
Ofthe three daily Democratic journals
in North Carolina, one has placed the
Greeley and Brown ticket at the head of
its columns, one believes the Baltimore
Convention would do well to make no
nomination, and the other awaits lis ac-
ton without expression of preference
The leading Democratic papers Of
Texas have declared for the Greeley tick-
ct. The Galveston News protests strong
" against a straight-out nomination at
Baltimore, and is assured that Texas
would thereby be carried for the Radicals
Greeley Endorsed at Baltimore would
sweep the State.
Of the eight Democratic daily news
papers in GeorgIa but two, the Savannah
News and Atlanta Sun, have arrayed
themselves against the Greeley and
Brown ticket Three of the eight strong
ly oppose straight-out nomination,
while three await the action of the BaIti>
more Convention.
Georgia publishes eighty. three news
papers. Fifty~eight of these have been
grouped as follows: For a straight out
Democratic nomination, eight sut-and~
out for Greeley, six; waiting for the Ball
timore Convention, forty >three. Georgia
is perhaps the least Of all the Southern
States in favor of the Greeley ticket, but
is rapidly ranging herself with her sister
Commonwealths in The Liberal movement
A Virginia letter to the Baltimore Sun
says political matters in the Valley
are rowing more and more interesting.
The sentiment in favor of Greeley and
Brown is growing stronger every day,
though as yet there has been no public
demonstration. The primary meetings
for the purpose OF appointing delegates to
the State convention viii be held early
next month, when, doubtless, some pub
lie expression viii be made"
From Virginia to Texas the leading
Democratic papers of the South, with but
! few exceptions, are in favor Of the Gins
cinnati nomination In the latter State
the Galveston News, Houston Telegraph
and Galveston Bulletin have taken per
haps stronger ground than con temporar'
les ofother States. Texas, perhaps, above
all the other Southern Commonwealths,
has suffered most from four years of
| Grant rule, and most breads a further
experience Of it.
The Charleston, 6. O. Courier, pro-
testing against a straight-out nomination
says: "The day of the extreme Northern
Democracy is past 1t can no longer ex
pect to rule Its unwise counsels prevent
ed the success Of the Philadelphia Con
vention of 1866 They defeated the Demo
cratic party in the contest of 1868, anc
cntaiIed upon the South four years OF
disaster and oppression. The fatal poll
cy of the past can not again be permitted
Against it there should be calm bu
solid and uubroken 'front.'
Says the Atlanta (Ga } Constitution
"Our observation conyinces us that
large majority Of the Southern Democrat
think support of Greeley the proper pro
gralnme of the Democratic party; tina
the Democrats of those Northern State
where there are large Radical majoritie
believe the same way, and that in the fey
Northern States where there are decite
Democratic majorities, the party is divid
, ed, majority probably being agains
Greeley. Our observation also is tina
, Greeley's Republican strength is grow
, ing.
