THE GREELEY MOVEMENT As SEEN FROM
THE CAPITAL.
(WAshlngton Cor. Gin. Commercially
Acareiul view Of the political field, and
a comparison Of information received in
this city from oil quarters Of the Union.
disclDses the, TACT that the Democracv
throughout the country are rapidly con.
ccntrating on Greeley and Brown, In
tho South there Is great unanimity OF sen.
timent, while In such States as Virginia.
Tennessee and Mississippi the feeling Il
one Of positive enthusiasm. In GEORGIA
where the influence Of Mr.. Stephens was
looked to with much apprehension by
Greeley's friends, the public sentiment Is
understood TO be largely for Greeley; and
In Kentucky, where the Bolter element
made at first o fierce opposition TO Gree.
ley, II Is stated that now at least three
tourths Of tho Democracy favor Greeley's
endorsement. In Alabama the sentiment
Is very decided In jackson county, the
great Democratic stronghold Of North
Alabama, It is reported that everybody Is
for Greeley. -.
In New England the party have settled
down on the fusion as the only path to
victory. New York has chosen Gree.
ley delegation. Pennsylvania, out Of the
delegates at large, has elected eight Gree.
ley men, headed by William A. Wallace,
long Chairman ofthe State Central Com.
mittee, and 1t is thought by good Judges
that two.thlrds OF the district delegates
will be otthe same persuasion. In Mary.
land and Ia Virginia there Is no longer q
contest. The Bourbons in both States
have surrendered. In Philadelphia and
Baltimore nearly all the Democrats are
for Greeley, The accounts from Iowa,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and. other
Western States, report o similar state OF
feeling. The Baltimore Convention will
consist Of six hundred and seventy.two
members, and 1t is not now possible to
figure up sixty members who will insist
on straight.out Democratic ticket, Del.
aware and New Jersey, from present APP
pearances, are the only States that the
Bourbons are likely to carry. They have
twenty-tour votes, and perhaps they may
get as many more from scattered dele.
gates in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana, but not enough, from pres.
emit indications, to constitute one.tenth OF
the entire Convention.
One OF the Oldest and most experienced
Democratic members Of the House pre-.
diets that Greeley will be endorsed at
Baltimore by reclamation, and this opin.
ion Is rapidly becoming general at Wash.
ington. The Greeley men, feeling that
they will have full control of the Conven.
ton, are now considering the question
whether 1t will be best TO endorse Greeley
directly by name, or to pass a resolution
declaring it ineXpedient at this time to
make nominations, and recommending all
good citizens so to vote as best to promote
the reforms promulgated in the Cincinnati
Convention, and drive from power the
present Administration. 1t is impossible
to say asyet which course will be adopted.
WHAT ANDY JOHNSON SAYS OF SUMMERS
.r.. SPEECH. ~ %. 3,-.g
Mr.. johnson will remain here several
days, and will probably be called before
the committee. His rooms were crowded
with visitors during the evening, compos.
ed mainly Of his old friends here and the
Democratic members of Congress. For
the first time in his lite on application Of
newspaper reporter he refused to be in.
terviewed, and would give no idea as to
whom he preferred for President He
said, however, that the whole State Of
Tennessee was, as he termed it, negative.
ly for Greeley; that is, that the State,
with the exception of tho negro vote, was
against Grant. He says tho speech OF
MIR. Sumner was blazing through the
South, the general inquiry on the lines of
travel being between persons, "Have you
read Summers specify" He it must
be regarded as one OF the most powerful
political documents lately given to the
