peared. In the opinion of many Lib
eral Republicans and Democrats in
Washington, Mr.. Ross overestimates
MIR. Greeley's strength in Kansas,
when he asserts that, if Baltimore
indorses the Cincinnati ticket, Gree
ley will carry Kansas, but he feels
very s,re Of it himself. He thinks
that Grant and Poneroy will stand
or fall together.

WAsu1NeroN, May 27.-Nearly all
the Democratic members of Con-
gress from Pennsylvania will leave
here tomorrow and next day to at
tend the State Convention which
meets at Reading on Thursday. The
Convention will select 10 delegates
to the Baltimore Convention, four of
whom will be the usual Senatorial
delegates, and the other six to repre-
sent the additional representation in
Congress Of three members allowed
under the new appointment. AS the
State has not been redistrictcd,
these delegates cannot be chosn, like
the other district delegates, by local
conventions held in the several dis
tricts. The Convention has also tie
duty to perform of nominating
State ticket Of Governor, Auditor
General, and Judge of the Supreme
Court. From information received
here, it is probable that there will
be two clements in the Convention,
one in favor Of a square indorse-
ment of the Cincinnati ticket, and
the other opposed to any alliance
with the Liberal Republicans, and
in favor of instructins the delegates
to Baltimore to support Gen. Han
cock for the Presidential nomination.
The latter elcmont will, it is believed
te in u small minority, but, in order
not to offend it, the result of the
Convention's action will probably be
similar to that of tho Rochester

toward the Liberal movement, but

ted will be one made up with a

the Liberal Republicans. The NOM

was naninated for the Authorship
by the recent Labor Convention,
held at Williamsport, and Mr.. Buck
