The Cincinnati Gazette thus Lom-
ments on the elements &c. that en-
tered into the composition of the
Cincinnati Convention:
But in all its elements the conven-
ton was peculiarly subject to con-
troll by improper means. And there
came here band of New York pol
iticians, unscrupulous enough for
the occasion, and versed in all the
political methods that have made
both parties notorious in that State
The attendants at this convention
we're unauthorized and irresponsi-
BILE. Each was an adventurer on his
own hook. They represented no.
body. 1t could not be affirmed of
any one that he had a single con-
stituent behind him. Yet they con-
verted themselves into State delega-
tions and into a convention to nom-
mate President. Thus from moth
ing they transformed themselves in
to thing of weight ond value
Thus for example, supposed Cali
fornian, from remote, wild mining
country, claimed and was awarded
the eight votes Of that State in a
presidential nominating convention.
Not one miner in a thousand will
strike SO rich pocket rs that in
a lifetime.

While the Cincinnati Convention
had among its members men whose
motives and patriotism are unques-
toned, its deliberations were con-
trolled by men who are conspicuous
ly known to be as corrupt, morally
and politically, as any beings that
walk on two legs; and yet these fell
lows put themselves up as advocates
of reform! Give them a chance at
the public treasury and it will soon
be seen of what metal they are made
and the sort of motives that actuates

On receiving the news Of MIR.
Greeley's nomination by the Cincin-
natl Convention. on Friday afternoon
last, much surprise was expressed
from all quarters. Republicans who
have always been adnires of Mr.,
Greeley were pleased. Those Demo
Gratis who are anxious to disrupt the
Republican party declared at once
for Greeley, others pronounced for
him "till further orders from their
eaders.' Unprincipled politicians of
all parties indorse the platform OF
that remorkably erratic gentleman,
Geo Francis Train, namely, l. beat
Grant; 2, beat Grant; 8, be at Grant !;
-'.anybody to beat Grant"

The Cleveland Herald, very in
dependent Journal pronounces the
following benediction on the Cincin-
natl Convention:
In the whole history Of national
political conventions in this coun-
try there has not been recorded one
in which there was more wirepulling,
more political intriguing, more sell
fish trickery, more bargaining and
dickering than in the socalled lib
eral' Convention at Cincinnati, called
to protest against political wire,pull-
ing. intriguing and dickering, Mr..
Adams might well exclsim, "Draw
me out of that crowd" for, taking as
true what the leaders in the Conven-
ton say of each other, there never
was a more shameless set of trick
sters, and never were more fragrant
attempts to muzzle opinion, pack del
egatlons, and override justice by
fraud, force and corruption.

Who will say that the Democratic
party is not progressive, when it. is
remembered that even those mem
bers of said party who used to salute
Mf. Greeley with rotten eggs, are
now ardent advocates of his election
to the Presidency.
To US it is exceedingly crafty
Ing to see our Democratic opponents
abandon their false, ,unpatriotic posi-
ton. Weare glad to see Dsmo ocrats
recognize the doctrine Of equality Of
ali men before the law, without re-
gard to race or color.

FiZZled.

We have surrendered much space
during the past week to the doings
of the Cincinnati Convention and the
echoes of it from the points which
the public is most interested
in hearing from. 1t is sufficient for
the present to say that the outcome
of the Convention has not at all sur
prised US. 1t was uncalled for,
illogical, and inconsistent in it's con-
ception, and it's result is of the same
character.
Protesting to be protest against
political corruption and fraud, it was
the scene of the worst corruption and
most shameless frauds and bargain
ing ever witnessed in a National
Convention. We cannot character
ize it more exactly than to say it was
an enlarged edition of New York
political convention, with all its ma
chinery of tricks, devices, frauds,
and chickering's, engineered by New
York politicians and their allies for
the benefit OF New York politicians.
The leading spirit of the movement
themselves denounce the combina-
tion between Greeley and Brown as
corrupt and selfish bargain, and
we can add nothing to that condem-
nation except to call attention to the
declaration of MIR. Bowles, that il
was mainly the handiwork Of the
Blairs.
A pig-iron Protectionist for the
head of the ticket, rampant Free
Trader for its tail, and a platform
that cowardly dodges the whole ques-
ton of Revenue Reform, though the
Convention was called mainly in its
interest,-such is the lame and i'm
potent result of the great Liberal
Republican movement. ."-Cleveland
Herald.

The Cincinnati Convention was
largely composed of narrow-minded
know-nothings and they exercised
such controlling influence over its
deliberations that the wishes of our
adopted fellow citizens were disre-
garded. The Germans were especially

Mr. Greeley is man of great talent
and as journalist he has no superior
in America. All accord his honesty
and devotion to principle, but as a
statesman he has no experience. His
late action in boiling from the Re
publican party and other things will
be the subject of Just criticism.

If by giving to the Liberal Repub

hold in our hands, just as we secured
the House of Representatives in Mis-
