CINcTNxATI, o, May 3.-The Greeley
and Gratz Brown ticket grows It took
everybody by surprise this morning, but
confidence is giving it strength. Frank
Blair, Gov. Robinson, of Illinois, and other
leading Democrats left here tonight, prom
Using the hearty cooperation Of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress. Pendleton, Groesbeck,
and Hendricks have all accepted the situa-
ton. There is an unexpected concurrence
of opinion among the great newspapers
the Independent press, which goes solid for
the ticket. TO-mOrroW's Commercial
sounds the keynote which viii be carried
forward by the Chicago Tribune and the
Springfield Republican. The effort to unite
the free-traders, the reformists who are dis
affected and the Bourbons on Judge Davis,
is a failure, owing to Judge Davis refusal to
entertain the suggestion. Gratz Brown
leaves tomorrow for Louisville.
Memphis.
MEMPHIS, May 4.-The nominations of
the Cincinnati Conventions are almost uni
versally regarded as the strongest that could
be made. The Avalanche and Appeal un-
hesitatingly endorse the nominations and
will support the ticket.
Virginia.
RICHMOND, May 4.-The Enquirer says
the Cincinnati Convention has presented
the strongest ticket to the country that
could be presented. As lockers on in
Vienna we may be permitted to express the
opinion that Grant will discover this to be
the hardest rock he has ever butted his
head against. Greeley and Brown are both
acceptable to the people of the South, and
If they have to decide between this and an
other four years of Grant and his bayOnet
rule, there will not be much hesltancy
which horn of the dilemma they will take.
We think it probable, however, that the
nomination will frighten the Philadelphia
Convention into abandoning Grant, and
we pr dict great efforts at a reconciliation
of the two wings of the Republican party.
The Wbig will probably support the
ticket whether there is Democratic nomi-
nation or not.
North Carolina.
GREENSBORO, May 4.-The sentiment
here is highly favorable to Greeley and
Brown. The ticket will sweep the Old
North State like whirlwind in November.
Maine.
PORTLAND, May 4.-The Eastern argus
Democratic) comes out fully for Greeley
as the peoples candidate.
Michigan.

(Dem.1 says of the Cincinnati nominations:
"Greeley is a strong man with whom to
demoralize the Republican party, and it will
probably result in the defeat of Grants
nomination and election" 1t considers the
chances of the Democracy largely increased,
and nothing is necessary to secure it but
strong nomination and platform.
The Post administration Tidicules the
Greeley nomination and says it viii not in
jure the Republican party in the least,
while it will render the Democratic cause
utterly helpless.
The Tribune Independent Republican,
says the truest and most sagacious friends
of the Liberal movement saw with regret
the Greeley nomination. 1t would regard
his election as a public calamity, and that
he is not entitled to Republican support in
his present candidacy.
California.
SAN Francisco, May 4.-The Gail says
the nomination of Greeley produces the
greatest dismay among the Federal office
holders. All now are awaiting the action
of the Democracy.
The Alta says that to deny the tickets
strength before the people is idle, but the
Democracy viii probably nominate ticket
of its own, and drive Greeley's friends to
the support Of Grant.
The Chronicle says the platform is un-
exceptionable, but the nomination is such
a surprise that it can form no idea at pres
ent of its effects upon the American people.
