the well known fact that this was intended
to be tree trade movement, that it has
been supported thus far by the friends of
that principle, and Indignantly denies the
right of Mr.. Greeley to dictate to the con-
vention either candidate Or platform, or
the authority of any one to make it less or
more than a free trade convention, as its
originators designed,

1t was reported a few days ago that the
regular republicans had some intention OF
taking a share in the convention, but we
believe Mr.. Greeley promptly appeared
and declared that no republican who is in
favor of President Grant had any right
to sit upon the eggs laid by free traders.
He said it would be an outrage. Itwould
be stealing He knew nothing about
farming. or the international code, or
higher law that would justify such an act
All the time he thus protests against the
right of any one else to usurp the nest OF
the free traders, he is furiously driving
them out and taking possession himself.
So the Cincinnati convention appears t
be resolving itself into famous scrambl,
about the occupancy and control of it

THE CLNCTNNA7Y SCRAMBLE

The convention at Cincinnati promises
to be anything but love feast. The
movement at first appeared to be based
upon the ideas of free trade and reform of
the civil service. Those who were en-
gagged in it called themselves revenue
reiormefs," but were really free traders.
There. was not a proteeionist among them.
They began their work as early us 1869,
holding meetings at Washington that year
for the furtherance of their plans.
Now, however, since the Cincinnati
convention has been called, the flee trad
ers find themselves in danger of being
thrust out of the meeting, while the con.
troll of it viii pass into the hands of the
protectionists and those who have no prin.
ciple but opposition to President Grant
The Tribune has assumed the direction Of
the convention. 1t declares the condi
tions of membership and dictates the plat
form II reads out free traders and rules
in the protectionists. 1t has stolen the
aest and eggs Of the revenue reformer:
and is busily Matching from them brood
OF high tariff chickens. There is even a
call made for the nomination of Horace
Greeley as the candidate of the caucus for
President.
To this insolent attempt of the Tribune
10 drive the free traders from their own
quarters and take possession in the name
of the protectionists, the New York Post
utters lusty protest. The Post declares
