city, the Free Press, Democratic, favors
a straight Democratic ticket this fall,
and the Post, Administration, and the

ground against the Cincinnati nomi-
nation.
TIrusvlLLE, Pa, May 5.-The Courier,
the Democratic organ, comes out strong
ly for Greeley for President. 1t says !;
ave ought to make sure of the over
| throw Of an Administration which has
become stencil in the nostrils of a
great majority Of the American people"
ST. LOWS, May 5.-Tho Times, of this
city, says, 1--WE shall support Greeley
and Brown cheerfully by laboring for
an Endorsement of their candidacy by
the Democratic National Convention,
because, first, we believe they can be
elected second because if elected they
will free Us forever from semi-military
| despotisms like that of Grants third,
because both are able and honest men !;
| fourth, because there is no prospect of
doing any better, and great danger
that we might do much worse /; fifth,
because if elected there is hardly any
danger Of such ticket being counted
out by the methods so well known TO
the Grant party. We predict that not
only will the Democratic party indorse
the ticket through their National Con-
vention, without dissent or division,
but that it will acquire new and uneX.
pected strength, and finally be ratified
by the largest popular and electoral
vote given to any candidate since
1852"
The Westliche Post, the organ of Sena-
tor Schurz, announces to-day its support
of the Greeley Brown ticket, in the fol-
lowing words: After the anxious sus-
pense which was felt here with regard to
the Cincinnati Convention, it is by no
means surprising that the result is not
entirely satisfactory to many persons. 1t
is true that Greeley is known through
out the land as an honest and well-mean-
ing man, and Germans must especially
appreciate the noble position which his
Tribune assumed in contrast with all the
other English papers during the French.
German war, but these very same Ger
mans cannot, after all, help being to
some extent alienated by some Of their
notions, which 10 some extent must be
admitted 10 be not altogether liberal,
and putting the question whether more
popular head might not have been given
to the reform movement which certainly
originated here. Entirely justified as
this feeling aud disappointment are, still
the Grant party will not profit by them,
for when people once begin to criticize,
they are not likely to contine their OBJ
lection to the candidates of one party.
And what upright patriot is there dis
satisfied with Greeley's nomination who
would so much as think of Grant? If
the Cincinnati Convention has not put
forward the best man, that is surely no
reason for now voting for the worst.
Frequently in life, and, above all, fire.
quently in American politics, the expe-
renee is made that the best is simply
not 10 be had, and then no other re-
source remains for us than to accept the
comparatively better"
New YORK, May august Belmont

of the platform and nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention This is now
but bombshell We must wait until
we see its effect on the press, the
people, and in fact on many things. 1t

be policy TO adopt the ticket. Mr..
Greeley, in my opinion, will run we'll ia
the Southern States, but, as | said
before, it is too soon to judge yet. |
will do most anything to beat this Ad-
ministration not that | have anything
against Mr.. Grant, but | do not like his
idea of government. The Philadelphia
Convention must meet yet, and then
the Democratic party will have to act
wisely. 1t is my opinion that the
Liberal ticket will be withdrawn in
September if the Democrats make good
nominations. In the meantime judge
it better for the party TO say or do
nothing; that is better. What we
might say now would probably be pre-
vented or turned against US when the
nominations are made
WASHINGTON, May 3.-To Horace
Greeley: Allow me to congratulate you
on being selected TO lead movement

Gods blessing, is to purify the govern

Press by the editor of the Terre Haute
journal:
WASHINGTON, May 40 THE EDITOR
OF THE JOURNAL: The Democrats will
meet as usual ia National Convention,
and through its authorized delegates |
nominate its candidates and declare its
policy. Until then no man has the |
right to commit the party as TO its flu
