FURTHER VOICES FROM THE PRESS.
Views from all Directions.

The Democratic press is badly divided
ticket.
The Germans that sympathized with the
Liberal movement now refuss, with al
most unanimity, to support the intrigue.
Thirty German editors at Cincinnati met
after the convention and repudiated the
ticket:
The st. Louis An-eiger, a German De-
mOcratic paper, which was a strong sup
porter, however, of the Liberal movement
is emphatically against Greeley and
Brown. Ittakes the ground that by these
nominations the convention became untrue
to the ideas which called the Liberal
movement into existence, and selected two
men tor the highest positions in the cOun-
trv whose erratic and whimsical charac-
ters make them unfit, and in reality the
most unsafe persons in the United States,
for the Executive Department of the ma
ton. 1t looks at the nominations as the
result of a scheme cOncOcted by the Blair
family. 1t furthermore believes that the
convention which nominated Brown must
either have been absolutely blinded as to
the character of the man or entombed
within a network Ofintrigues from which
it was impossible to escape, it being perfect
lv absured to make a man the guardian of
constitutional government who always
treated the Federal Constitution as an ab-
solute piece Of paper, and equally absurd
to make him the champion Of liberal ideas
after he intended, by motion in the
United States Senate, to introduce a re-
ligiOus test in the Federal Constitution
The Cincinnati POLkSfrculd declares
against Greeley in the mOstemphatic man
ner, and will support him under no con-
sideratiOn whatever. It's reasons are that
Greeley is entirely unreliable, having
favored personal liberty, female suffrage,
temperancism, muckerism, and intidelity.
The undeserved abuse of Carl SchuTZ,
which he received at the hands of Greeley
and Brown men and the political traders,
has produced an indignation that will
make itself felt in the coming election
campaign.
[From the Spottsyille (Pa.) Standard
One thing we deem to be fixed certain
ty. The nomination of Mr.. Greeley COM
peLs a straight Democratic nomination,
which, if prudence and good judgment
prevail, will eventuate in the election
of a Democratic President over the candi-
dates of the split into fragments Of the late
radical party.
With what face can Horace Greeley ask
the support of the Democrats? Not three
weeks since he declared that he would sup
port that Republican ticket which exhibit
ed the best chance of success, and that he
would support Grant-whOm he declares
is dishonest and corrupt-in preference to
the very best Democrat in the World
LoujsUiTe Ledger.
The New Orleans Bee thinks the nomi-
nation of Greeley a bad one. II has 10
idea that the Democratic party will en-
dOrse it. On the contrary it thinks it in
sures straightOut nomination by the
Democratic Convention.
The New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, favorable 70 the
teIegraphs from New York:
The general feeling is that the Cincin-
natl Convention fell prey to selfish man
euvers of politicians, and considered as
peoples reform movement, is an evident
failure. Greeley's nomination was pleas
antly received in administration circles.
In all sections of the city it has fallen
tamely, and the only flag run up floats
over the Tribune office.
