delegates to the number Of about seventy now
at Cincinnati.
The Reunion and Reform Conventions
will meet at Cincinnati on the morning of
May first, and will take recess to be pres.
ent At the noon meeting of the Liberal Con-
vention.
No one will be admitted TO the Liberal
Convention without tickets from the Commit.
tee of Arrangements. Seats and tables for
one hundred members of the press vii be
provided with room to double the number if
Deeded. The Telegraph Companies have
numerous wires TO the building 70 as TO be
able to transmit the news promptly. Several
representatives Of the press have already ar
rived, and the indications are that the gatL-
ering will be very large. The railroads will
run excursion trains late and early, every
day Of the Convention week.
The New York Sun, Of yesterday morn
ing, says that Gen. Merrill and q large num-
Der of prominent men, sympathizing with
the Liberal movements, left last night for
Cincinnati. This morning a still larger
number will leave. Among Others are Sim
clair Teusey, Waldo Hutchins, A. STANG
berry and Whitelaw Reid. 1t is doubtful
whistler Horace Greeley will 60. The dele
CATION will probably support Greeley for
President, and Palmer for Vice President.
Under the head of "a Convention OF
Odds and Ends" the Sun says from all indi-
c,tions the Radical Convention, to be held
in New York on the 10th and 18th OF May,
will be lar..ely attended. We learn that
delegations from every State in the Union are
expected, ard all the railroads have agreed
to reduction Of their tickets TO half fare.
Every phase Of reform will be represented,
and through the utilization Of the Woman
Suffragis,s, In,ernationals, American Lsboz
League, and other Labor Reforms and other
trade societies, Spiritualists, Infidels, Free
Thinkers, Socialists, Communists, Liberal
Christians snd Temperance advocates, upon
a platform broad enough for all to stand
upon, they seek to become formidable po-
litical power, and pu, forward sucn candi-
dates as will hes, represent, the spirit of their
united claims. ...s
An Omaha dispatch to the St. Louis
Democrat Administration Gays the Germans
| of Nebraska are a unit for "Cincinnati and
Reform"
The n. y. Times administration says,
in it, editorial review of the political situa-
ton, that sit is well known that the Demo-
cratic leaders are carfully considering the
| question, who shall he their candidate for
the Presidency? They have not .the slight
Is. idea Of accepting the Cincipnati nominees.
Their game is to get two Republican tickets
in the Geld, and then TO run of with the
prize ifthey can-while their old enemies are
using up each Others strength. The Re-
! publcans are 70 rake the Democratic chest
| nuts out Of the fire. Will the people fall
into this trap? \ little while ago the DEM
ocrats scarcely thought of venturing to make
an appeal to the country next Fall. But
Schurz and Greeley have succeeded in con-
vincing them thai there i. possibility Of
winning, simply by Republican divisions.
| 1t would be misfortune, on which We need
not dwell, ii this scheme should succeed; but
| the good sense Of the people is generally
more than match for The irickery os 'poli-
