CINCINNATI OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF DIsAP-
PoISTMENT AMONG DEMOCRATS.
WAsulSGroN, May 3.-The Cincinnati
nominations are received here with variety |
Of comments and speeulations as to the de-
velopments which will follow. There is
considerable Glation In administration circles |
as to the nomination of Greeley, as it gives |
the impression that the Democracy will nomi-
nate a different candidate. The Democratic |
members of Congress express varied opn-
ions. Some declare Immediately in favor of
Democratic nomination, while Others are
thoroughly noll-commitlal; and it seems
to be conceded among them all that there
can he no authoritative assertions as to the
position the party will take until the meet
ing of their national convention, which will
be held as q matter OF course. The Liberal
Republicans In the Senate earnestly favor
the nominations. Senator Trumbul tele-
graphed his cordial congratulations to NE,
Greeley this afternoon. Senator Sumner de-
clares it is a strong ticket, and Fenton
will enter earnestly upon its support.
Tipton, Schurz, and Hamilton OF Texas,
who are at Cincinnati, will enter the
lists with characteristic yigor. 1t Is not
to be denied that there Is a feeling Of dlsap-
pointment among Democrats that Davis was
not the choice Of the Convention, but it Is
conceded that Greeley Is next in strength,
which will take from the Administration.

House, Mr.. Dawes was speaking on the tarln
