POLITICAL NOTES.

The woodstock Post leans decidedly to-
wards Greeley and Brown.
The Montpelier Freeman, Hon. c. w.
Wizards paper, prefers Grant to Greeley,
but thinks that "if the convention at Phil
adelphia wonld nominate Mr.. Colfax for
the first place on the ticket, 1t would do
much to heal the division in the party and
greatly advance the common cause, as Mr.
Greeley would in that event, undoubtedly
decline to be longer a candidate"
The New Hampshire State Republican
convention, held at Concord last week,
adopted resolutions in favor of Grant and
Wilson.
Both the Democraticand Republican State
Conventions in n. V were held on Wednes-
day, the former at Rochester, the latter at
Elmlra. The Democrats passed resolutions
endorsing Greeley, while the Republicans
as warmly indicated their continued conf
dence in Grant.
Senator Sumner is reported non-commit-
tai o nthe Cincinnati nomination, and as de-
termined To remain so until after the Phil
adelphia Convention, which he yet hopes
to see act in accordance with his own con-
victions and preference in the matter OF n
platform as well as a candidate, thereby
securing victory to the party in Novem-
Der.
The Hon. Ben Wood of New York, fa-
nous for his lottery schemes, supports the
Cincinnati nomination. In his speech
Tuesday night before the National Demo-
cratic Association, Wood said he should OPP
pose any other Democratic nomination. He
is confident the Tammany element would
control II. G. if elected.
Those old Democratic leaders, Pendleton
of Ohio and Hendricks of Indiana, deny
that they intend to support Greeley. They
say the only safe course for tie Democrats
to pursue Is to nominate a straight out tick
OF.
The New York World classifies its DEM
ocratic exchanges thus: In favor of
straight-out Democratic ticket, "A in favor
of awaiting the action of the Democratic
Convention, So in favor of the Cincinnati
nominees, 20.
The Portland (Me.) Press says IL has TAX
en- especial pains to learn how the Greeley
Brown ticket is received by the Republi-
cans in that State, and the result is that
"outside of few discouraged ofice-seek-
ers and disgruntled ex-ofiice- holders, Mr..
Greeley has no supporters" The Eastern
Argus, OF the same city, for many years
the organ of the bunker Democracy, which
astonished its friends by promptly adopt
ing the Cincinnati ticket, says its action il
universally Endorsed by the Democrats of
the State.
The Congregationaist says OF Horace
Greeley, that she Is one Of the last men
whom we should desire 10 sec elevated to
the Presidential chair. Mr.. Greeley lacks
qualities which are absolutely essential in
that Office he has others which would in
evitably make mischief in II, and If the
people of the United States are as wise as
we think they are, he will be allowed TO re-
main at the post he has so long and so hen
orably occupied. 1t looks very much as II
the new party Of reform, initiated at Gin
cinnati, has committed suicide at the out
SET"
The National Democrat Convention is to
be he'd at Baltimore, July0.
A Michigan letter says there is no oppO-
sltion to Grant in that State outside of tho
