What the Herald Thinks.
The Herald this morning comments
on the Fifth Avenue Conference. 1t
thinks from the enthusiasm with which
the speeches supporting Greeley were
received, that the assemblage is any
thing but against the Cincinnati candi-
date. 1t thinks it possible that the
Democratic Conference at Long Branch,
yesterday in favor of a straight
Democratic ticket or substituting
Adams lor Greeley, was continued for
the purpose OF Strengthening the anti
Greeley element in Fifth Avenue Con-
ference, and that there may be some
mischief afoat in reference to the &C
ceptauce Of Greeley by the Baltimore
Convention. The Herald thinks all
indications point to the acceptance OF
Greeley at Baltimore, and that he will
be apt to give Grant very sharp and
close contest.
Stokes Trial.
Up to l o'clock P. NJ, today, six
jurors had been obtained in the Stokes
trial. Those selected to-day are Byron
Stone and Theodore Flamm.
Connor Goes Home.
Last night the delegation of the
Seventh precinct, caught two thieves
on a bark lying at pier on East river.
They were arrested, but while crossing
the gang plank, one of the thieves, John
Connor jumped to escape, but fell over.
board and was drowned.
. The Strikers.
The labor movement for the past day
or two has been unmarked by any
feature Of special importance. Men
congregate each day at the headquarters
of the different organizations, but the
reports Of the committees are not very
encouraging and the men are becoming
every day more disconnected by the firm
opposition OF the employers. Those
who have been especially active as com.
mittee and society men in the shops in
influencing their fellow workmen to
quit work are beginning to disbelieve
the promises OF a successful strike held
out by the trades unions.

tense to the Roman Catholics.

The Labor Strikes.
The situation in regard to the labor
strikes remains practically unchanged,
but all Indications point 10 an early
termination Of the movement and q
failure Of the strikers. The boss sugar
