THE CINCINNATI NOMINATIONS.
The result Of the great Liberal Conven-
ton which met at Cincinnati on the first
inst. was q surprise and disappointment to
many, if not to all, Of our citizens. That
the philosopher Of the Tribune would re-
ceive the nomination was not conjectured
by his most ardent admirers, and it was
sometime before it could be realized OF
course it caused good deal Of merriment
among the Democrats and they INDUCED in
many q sly hit at his oddities. But jokes
soon gave way to sober second thought,
and then
THE UNTERRIYRD DEMOCRACY
began to ask themselves the question, " is
this the man the Liberal Republicans asks
US to supportf' Had Davis, Trumbull or
Adams been nominated he would have got
the hearty and cordial support of the De-
mocracy Of Maryland, especially Davis,
but Massa Greeley they don't like, though
it is possible they may have 70 accept him,
but he will be hard pill for them to swAl-
low. As TO
fHB GRANTEES,
they at first treated the whole matter - .
good joke, believing, As they said, that it
was put up job, and that there would be
q bolt. The thought was father to the
wish, but as no bolt has taken place, and
as they see with what unanimity the respec-
table and conservative portion Of their own
party have accepted the situation
they begin TO show the white feather, and
admit that Greeley is very popular among
the negroes Of the South, and that many
of the leading men Of that section will
sustain him.
| All eyes are now turned to
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
| which is to meet here on the 9th of July
next. Viii they endorse the Cincinnati
nominations, is the question which every
one asks and nobody can answer. As a
matter of course every politician, big and
| little, Of the party has his own theory, and
knows juet the best thing to be done, but
as none are authorized to speak officially
for that body it is best to wait and hear it,
tare,reH address to the people.
| BASE BALL.
| The base ball season has commenced with
. vigor and . vim which bespeaks q bril-
liant season for the boys in this section.
Newington Park is the center of attraction
Of this sport. The playing Of the Balti-
more boys is much better than it was last
season, and already they have won some
brilliant victories Of the best players Of
the East. To-day a most exciting game
was played between the Baltimore Nine =
and the "HAymakers," Of Troy, N. Y.
The game, from the reputation of the Hay
makers, attracted an immense crowd at the
Park. The play Of both clubs was of the
highest order, and the game was Of the
most exciting that has a. yet been played
in Baltimore, The Baltimore boys, how
ever, came out victorious, the score at the
end Of the game standing 81. Several
games are announced for next week, and
an exciting time in the base ball world Of
Baltimore is expected.
PLEASURE SEEKERS.
Our city was favored, ON Sunday morn
ing, BY visit Of the pupils and teachers
of the Female College, Elmira, N. Y, to
the number Of sixty-eight, ranging from
the interesting ages of sweet sixteen to
twenty. The party arrived by the North
ern Central Railroad, and filling some
twelve or fifteen omnibusses, repaired tc
the Fountain Hotel, Camden street, where
they partook of bountiful breakfast, after
which all the public buildings and libraries
Of the city were visited, and then the parks
and squares, after which the suburban dis
tricts were duly inspected. After the par.
ty had RECALLED themselves upon all that
was refreshing and interesting in and
around the city and the bay, they took
their departure for Washington, and, on
Thursday, again passed through the city
on their way home.
IN TRADE MATTERS
there is nothing worthy OF note and a. to
POLITICS
to an Independent observer it is supremely
-'1iculous. Here we see the spectacle, OF
maps it would be more proper to say re.
lkable phenomenon, Of Press which
heretofore has been looked up to % lead
ing and directing public opinion, now wait
for the representatives Of the people t.
give them the cue from which it is in the
future to speak. And these are the Jdls
lights which working men choose to follow
