Controlled By the West.

CINCINNATI, April 25.-Tn an interview
with Col. Grosvenor, OF Missouri, who
reached here yesterday, the Colonel ex.
pressed himself in regard 10 political
matters as follows e.. s.ag.a -i,rs
u doubt II Mr.. Adams would bO the
strongest man for the Presidency. He
would carry tho Eastern States, but
would not have any strength in the West.
We count upon carrying New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
Hampshire any how, but we want to
carry Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa and Minnesota. The candidates who
could do this are Trumbull, Gratz Brown
and, perhaps, Gov. Palmer. We have
taken counsel with the leaders Of the
Democratic party, East, West and South,
and they all say 20 ahead and nominate
ticket and they will support It. This
Convention Is not called in the interests OF
any Eastern State, but Of the Mississippi
Valley; which shall have tho recognition
and influence 1t deserves at Cincinnati" !"
At q large meeting Of the German Re-
union and Reform Association, last night,
letters were read from thirty gentlemen
who were elected at the previous meeting
to represent this Association In the Gin.
cinnati Convention. Among them was
one from Hon. Frederick HaSsaurek, in
which he declares his unwillingnessIto be
bound by the action Of that convention.
He says: '
III the convention should nominate
Judge Davis, l should not consider myself
bound to support him, because / do not
think 1t proper that members of the high.
est judicial tribunal should allow. them.
selves to be dragged into political con.
tests. Public opinion has designated Chas
Francis Adams as the flttest candidate 10
unite the liberal voters Of the country.
Without respect to former affiliations he
should be nominated on q platform which
should be so clear as to convince the pub.
lie mind that this movement is not per.
sonsl fight against the head Of the present
administration, arising from individual
grievances. 1.-THE issues should be mar.
rowed down to regular Republican on
one side, and regular party Democrat
on the other, should, as q choice of the
evils, support the Republican"
Quite a lively debate ensued, and o
representative was elected In lieu Of Mr..
Hassaurek.l t3. '
