DAYTON, May 5 --4he Cincinnati ron,
lnation is the principal topic of CONVEX
sation here. Horace Greeley is well
liked by all Republicans here, and he
will poll large vote. They look upon
him as hes0Udnt courier of all great po.
liiicalS changes for the Commonwealth
Mhichshaye taken place in this country
during the last fifteen years hut they do
not like B. Gratz Brown. The Demo.
Gratis do not either endorse or condemn
the nominees, but say"wait" A bet OF
SlO0 was made to-day that Greeley
would be the next President
as CHEERFUL SUPPORT OF THE TICKET.
ST. Louis, May 6 The Times of this
CITY says: ave shall support Greeley
and Brown cleerfully, by lahoring for
an endorsement of, their candidacy by
the Democratic National Convention, be
cause First we believe they can be
elected; second. because, if elected, they
will free us forever from semi military
dospotism like that OF Grant ); third, be-
cause both are able and honest men;
fourth, because there is no prospect of
doing anything, and great danger that
we might do much worse; fifth. because
if elected there is hardly any danger of
such u ticket icing counted out by the
methods so wei known to the Grant
party. We predict that not only will
the Democratic party endorse through
their National Convention without dis
sent or division, bat that it will acquire
neu aud unexpected strength, and final.

electoral vote given to any candidate
since 1862"
FROM SENATOR sCHURZ PAPER. e..
LIZ w OStlSi(ljS OSt, inG vi
Senator SchurZ, announces to-day its
support of the Greeley and Brown ticket
in the following words.
A-s'After the anxious suspense which
was felt here with regard 10 the CiEcin
natl Convention, it is by no means sur.
prising that the result is not entirely sat
isfactory to many persons. 1t is true
that Greeley is, known throughout the
land as an honest and well meaning man
and Germans must especially appreciate
the noble position which his Tribune as.
sumed in contrast with all the other En-.
glish papers during the French German
war hut these very same Germans can
not, after all, help being TO some extent
alienated by some oftheir notions, which
TO some extent must be admitted to be
not altogether liberal, and putting the
: question whether more popular head
might not have been given to the reform
movement, which certainly originated
here Entirely justified as these feelings
and disappointments are, still the Grant
party will not benefit by them; for wher
people once begin to eriticise they are
not likely to confne their objections to
the candidates of one party.
fcs'And what upright patriot is there
dissatisfied with Greeey's nomination
who would 50 much as think of Grant
If the Cincinnati Convention has. moi
put forward the best man, that is surely
no reason for now voting for the worst
Frequently in life, and above all, frc
Quently in American politics, the eNpe
rieRee is made that the best is simply
not to be had and then no other re
source remains for US than to accept tn
comparatively better"
