outside candidates. So large q proportion
Of the democracy is already committed to
Greeley that there Is no possibility of de-
feating him at Baltimore, except by a
straight democratic ticket. As for Mr..
Adams, IL IL certain that he would not ac-

present circumstances. The two-thirds
rule will, Of course, prevail at Baltimore,
and If one-third of the members Of the
convention took resolute stand against
Greeley he cannot DO nominated, but IL

feeling, and presenting n ticket consisting
of democratic statesmen who have strong
hold on the confidence of the party. We
have had quite enough Of coquetting with
outside factions. Let us now fall back

ESTIMATE OF GREELEY's STRENGTH DE.
FORE THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION by
A GRANT OFFIcE-HoLDER.
Especial dispatch to the Chicago Trbune.l
WAsHINaToN, June ls.-One Of the
strongest Of the Grant office-holders has
made an estimate of the strength of Mr..
Greeley before the Baltimore convention.
Notice is taken of the fact here because
the officer is one Of the shrewdest observ-
ers OF polltlcai events, and whose judg-
ment as to the future is received with re-
spect everywhere. He says that he has
little doubt that Greeley will have 5l7
delegates out of the 724 on the first ballot
and that Of the delegates already chosen by
the several states 3l7 are favorable to
Greeley and only thirteen against him.
these being from Oregon, Delaware, and
one from West Virginia. He also says
that there is n powerful effort making on
the part OF some OF the old hunkers Of the
democracy to defeat Greeley before the
convention by a coup d etat, and that let
tiers and circulars in great numbers have
been confdentially circulated for the pur-
pose. The scheme, rs developed, is to Sc.
cure the states of Arkansas, Georgia, Ohio,
Illinois, Texas, and New Jersey, which, il
is held, would do much toward CONTROL.
ing the convention. The officer, however,
unhesitatingly admits that Greeley will
be nominated, and that the contest in No.
vember will be very close one.
A letter received at the Greeley and
Brown headquarters, to-day, from one of
the leading Democrats of Indians, dated
Terre Haute, June Ia, says that Judge
Bowling was selected at Delegste-at-L Large
for the State, beating Dan Voorhees, by
vote of 1874 to 81. The letter also says
that the latter gentleman failed to receive
Reorganization, and that his vaultihg
ambition o'erleaped itself, and, indeed, that
he has got no followers. Thirty delegates
have been chosen from that State, and they
are unit for Greeley Preparations are
making for monster mass-meeting, in
favor Of Greeley and Brown, at Warrenton,
Va, on Wednesday, the 26th inst A spe-
cial train will be run from here and Alex
anderia, and It IL expected the meeting
will be one of the largest ever held in the
State. Warrenton being the home of Gen
eral Mosby, the latter will be invited to
speak at the meeting in behalf of Grant,
aud say all the good he can devise of Ce.

to hear Mosby explain the reason for his
course, and the statements he made in
recent interview with the president.
Among the speakers will be Ex-Governor

Kinney, and, probably, Governor Fenton
