THE LONDON Pass ON GREELEY's Nosr-
NATIoN.-The London papers thus comment
upon the nomination of Greeley. TIE
Times says d" The nomination Of Greeley /.
farcical and his election hopeless. 1t, how
ever, kills Grants chances for reelection.
and makes certain the nOmina ton of a candi-
date by the Democracy"
The Post argues that Greeley will be sue
cessful if his nomination Is endorsed hy
either Of the other conventions vet to be held .
but such action the Post thinks is impossible
The Telegraph says that the nomination Of
Greeley directly concerns England, because
he is hostile to the treaty OF WASHINGTON
and is a bigoted protectionist.
The NelrS praises Greeley but doubts his
fitness for the position of Chief Magistrate Of
the CREST nation.

Mr. Coebrane inquired if Mr. Greeley had
majority The Chair said = Yes" and
therefore was nominated as the candidate for
the Presidency by this Convention.
The Convention then proceeded to the
nomination of Vice President, the result oil
the last ballot being as follows:
Whole number Of votes, 657; necessary
for choice, $40; Brown, 435; Julian. IT'S :;
Walker, 81 Upton, 81 Palmer, 8; Brown
was declared the nominee
1t was moved to make the nomina tions
unanimous, which was declared correct,
though with some dissenting votes.
On the fifth ballot for President Vermont
voted for Adams and for Greeley, the
other ballots all standing the same IS the
first, one for Adams and seven for Greeley.
A few remarks from che presiding officer
and Hon. Geo W. Julian of Indiana, and
the Convention adjourned without day, with
Greeley and Brown as the standard bearers
of party in Presidential campaign that
has yet to develop its resources.

THE ADMINISTRATION Caucus Demo
cratic members of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs in Congress were not admitted 10 the
consultation on the Alabama question. Fer
nandO Wood felt what he considered the
slight, and ON Monday brought the matter
before the House as a question of privilege
stating the fact that meeting of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs had been held at
the State Department on Saturday, convened
by the President of the United States by
notes of invitation signed by his private
secretary, from which meeting he and his
Democratic colleagues upon the committee
had been excluded. lie appeared TO think
this discrimination all the more unwarrant
able from the fact that the committee was
by the nature of its business, a nOn-partisan
Committee, before which no party question
had ever come, to his knowledge Mr.
Banks declared that no meeting of the COM
mIItee had been held on Saturday 4 few
gentlemen had been invited to meet the
President for consultation at the State De-
partment, but 1t was not committee meet
my. Ire speaker decided that there was no
question of privilege involved in the matter,
and as no further debate was in order, the
subject dropped. 1t was much discussed in
CONVERSATION, however, IN OOtn tue house
and Senate during the day. The Democratic
senator's on the Foreign Relations COMMITTEES
had been carefully excluded from the
meeting as their brethren in the House, and
were equally indignant.
The opinion was freely expressed by many
Republicans that the Pre- sident had commit
ted serious blunder in treating a matter of
the gravest national concern as If it were an
affair of partisan politics merely. Members
of both Houses of long service on the For
eign Committees agreed that the President S
action had no precedent in their experience,
and said that it had always been the custom,
when the Committees had been consulted by
the President or the Secretary of State on
diplomatic affairs, to request the attendance
of all members without distinction of party.

Governor STEwART.-The Watchn1dn and
Journal of last week had the following au-
thorltative announcement that Gov. Stewart
is candidate for reelection to the guberna
rorial chair of this State
We are very happy to be able to announce
authoritatively that Governor Stewart will
not decline a second nomination for the-ofhce
of Governor, if rendered to him by the Re
publican party in this State. This is as 1t
should be- While there are many gentlemen
to whom we might gladly give our support
for this Office, there is not one who can bring
so high claim for the nomination as our
present Governor can for denomination.
Aside from the personal character and abill-
ties and the political qualifications OF Cover
nor Stewart, there is a proprlety, which we
trust never TO see violated, IN giving second
term to all worthy and honorable incumbents
of the Gubernatorial chair. 1t is the only
mark of acknowledgment that a Republican
people can bestow upon faithful service rem
dered by their public servants. The position
of Governor is the most dlgniied and honor
able held by any citizen OF the State, and 1t
will be a pleasure to Us that It's dignity
should be maintained for another term by
our present chief magistrate.

Democratic NATIONAL CONVENTION TO BE
HELD.-The Washington Patriot of Monday
morning announces by authority that Demo
cratic National Convention will certainly be
held some time in June, and it is recon-
mended that it be beld in this city. In the
course Of its article, the Patriot says:
''Those who have deluded themselves into
the belief that the Democratic party is dis
organized and demoralized will find thew have
committed grievOus error. Whilst the late
important events IN the history of political
parties have been transporting Democra Is
have deemed it wise to be calm and reticent
Those events have eliminated in the Cincin-
natl Convention, and its proceedings have
riven the Republican party in twain.

\ correspondent of the Rutland Herad
states that Prof. Hager, now in Missouri
has been i'll, but is now convalescent. lie
also SAYS that the Tin works of Missouri have
turned out to be what Mr.. Hager said they
would pr0ve-that Is, not worth the WORK
ing-and the extensive works have suspended
operations-for want Of tin. If we recolieet
rightly this was the cause, connected also
with political reasons, of Hager 5 removal
from the head of the geological work Of
Missouri, because he would not call common
green stone tin ore. This for a time has
shown that the " unbelieving Vermouter So
was right.

AUGUST BELNoNT's OPINION. - August
Belmont. chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, was visited last Saturday
by Net0s reporter, who asked Mr.. Bel
monts opinion of the Cincinnati Convention
and its candidates
Mr.. Belmont with a smile)-There is a
proverb, "Speech is silvern, but silence is
golden" That is good maxim, and there
is another, g If we cannot have what we
love let us love what we have,
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1872-05-08

Reporter-Then you mean that there is
noSsibilitv of the Democratic Convention
adopting the platform or candidates ?
MIR. Belmont Cautiously cannot tell.
This is now but a bombshell. We must
wait until we see it's effect on the press the
people, and, fact, on many things 1t must
develop. / 90 further it may be policy TO
adopt the ticket. Mr. Greeley, in my opinion,
will run well in Southern States. But as
said before, it is too soon to Judge yet
will do most anything to beat this Admins
tration, not that | have anything against
Mr. Grant, but do not like his idea OF gov
ernment. The Philadelphia Convention must
meet yet, and then the Democratic party
will have to act wisely. It is my opinion
the Liberal ticket will be withdrawn IN
September if the Democrats make good
nomination. In the mean time L judge 1t
better for the party to say or to DO nothing.
That is better. What we might say now
would probably be perverted or turned
against us when the nominations are made

1t is stated that Gratz Brown buffers his
watermelon instead of his bread. That
certainly should be no objection to him as a
candidate for the Vice Presidency for
watermelon would not probably absorb as
much butter as bread, especially when the
bread is buttered on both sides. We shan t
quarrel with the Cincinnati candidate for
that.

Will Grant Withdraw /?

We copy this extract from o Wash
ington special, dated Monday, TO the
New York Herald n
+ is useless to deny the very eyi--
ticket is growing in favor. As the
impulse ON the part of the Democrats
in support of the proposition for a
regular ticket dies away, asst certain
ly is dying away, the feelingin favor
of another candidate at Philadelphia
than General Grant finds an increase
of friends. The proposition, or sup
position, that Grant would withdraw,
originally looked at as preposferous,
is now matter of serious considelgl-
tion. Whispered suggestions that
either Blaine or Boutwell, would make
a better run against Greeley and
Grant have grown in strength of ut
terance, until now they are talked
aloud in the departments and at the
Capitol. The number of Democrats
who have retreated from their first
declarations of opposition to the Gin
einnati nominations is greater to-day
than it. was yesterday, and will be
still greater morrow. In fact, it is
now among the probabilities, az well
as the possibilities of the future that
Mr.. Greeley will receive the Demo-
cratic Endorsement. Republicans who,
up to recent date, have been ac-
knowledged Grant men now admit
Grants the only stumbling block in
the way of a reorganization of the old
party in all its strength and purposes.
"Why then" they say. shall we not
put up some other man, like Blaine or
Boutwell,, in whose favor Mr.. Greeley
can not fail to withdraw, and thereby
reduce the canvass to an old-fashi0ned
contest between Democrats and Re
publicans9"

short of very striking elements ofsuc-
cess could get on at ALL Reid hap
pens to have these, as, for example,
knowledge of the world, variety of
information, solid discretion, an active
industry and vigorous understand
ing, all of which will be required of
Mr.. Greeley's successor. His career
is a<striking proof of what may be
achieved by welI-dirceted purpose,
self-discipline and honorable ambi-
ton. At thirty two he finds himself
occupying the most powerful news
paper position in America, with
sound health, irreproachable habits
and troops of friends. The portrait
accompanying Mr.. Reid's biography
in Hagper's Weekly represents him as
handsome man, and-for the benefit
of the Kentucky readers of the Tri-
6une-it may be added that he is six
feet high and good rifle shot. In
opinions Mr.: Reid is a Liberal of the
Western rather than the. New Eng
land school, dashes his politics con-
siderably with agriculture, and takes
his Bourbon, like his course as a jour
nalist, straight! He owns q farm in
Ohio; runs the night work of the Til

The Blaine Movement for the
Presidential Nomination.
From the New York Herald.

i IS
Itsis capable of proef that a move
ment was begun. as long ago as the
holiday recess TO secure the nomfna.
ton of Speaker Blaine as the candi-
date of the Republican party for
President. It is true as has been
stated, that he was induced about that
time to withdraw his name as a can
didate for Vice-President, for fear. his
candidacy for that position would in
jure his prospects for the head of the
ticket. Fhe movement feeeiyedlittle
active sympathy until the tide ofmal-
contents commenced drifting toward
Cincinnati. Then it grew in favor
with certain Northwestern Republi-
cans, and finally a sufficient number
of Congressman from the extreme
northern belt of States had joined the
combination to make it formidable.
Mr.. Blaine's personal popularity,
which hispowerful position as Speaker
brings him in, giving him many op-
portunities TO favor his fellow-mem
hers OF the House, together with the
threatened quarrel in the party, were

consent was not sought at first, and
possibly was never obtained but his
personal friends were sufficiently dis
Greet in their conversation regarding
the subject to convey the impression
that he would accept nomination
and yet not compromise his fealty to
General Grant. Letters were written
to prominent parties ili Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan. intended to
promote the success of the combina-
tion. but evidently exerted little in
tiuence, as those States have declared
for Grant and Colfax. After the ac-
t,ial division of the party over the
Cincinnati movement the scheme was
abandoned. bfr. Blaine then gave in
his adherence unequiyocally to the
nomination of General Grant
The whole affair was managed so
discreetly that each and every person
engaged in it could have said, and can
now say, that he was always in favor
of Grant. In fact it was "a feeler"
for Blaine, and the foregoing state
ments embraces all the truth on which
the recently printed stories regarding
the pendency of movement in his
behalf is founded

The New Editor of the Tribune.
from the Courier-Journal.l


Mr. Whitelaw Reid, who, by the
retirement of Mr.. Greeley. becomes
elitor-in- chief of the New York 1ri
bune. and who will doubtless perma-
nently control the destinies of that
great newspaper by reason of Mr.
Greeley's final exit from Journalism
next March, is young man not much
turned into the thirties. Born, like
Mr.. Greeley, a farmers boy, and
raised in the West (he is q native of
Ohio), he has had experience as a
newspaper correspondent, cotton
planter, u book maker, o political
writer and managing editor He is
conspicuous for tact and judgment,
and thoroughly qualified to handle
the Tribune at this critical period in
its career. The Tribune is a stock
ocracy whose demands have always
been more or less whimsical and ex-
acting, and, after Mr.. Greeley's pecu-
