The Cincinnati Candidate.

THE Cincinnati nomination struck the
country at once with amusement and as
tonishment. 1t was probably the only
nomination for President ever made
which was received with good-humored
laugh. We have not sympathized with
the movement, and our opinion will be
little valued by those who have but GER
tainly the Convention, after the high key
in which the speech of Mr.. Schurz was
pitched, could have done nothing which
would have seemed so much q jest as
what it did. 1t was called by the most
earnest free-traders in the country, and
ended in the nomination of an arch pro-
tectionist. 1t was composed of some sin
cere reformers and a crowd of the most
notorious politicians, and it resulted in
the confusion of the former and the tri-
umph of the latter. We believe that
there are great many persons who were
wistfully watching the Convention, hop
ing to be able to support its action, who
will now, with Mr.. Adams, wish "to
draw out of that crowd"
We have often spoken of the patriotic
services of Mr.. Greeley, nor do we forget
them now. They will not be forgotten
during the long and searching scrutiny to
which his public life and words and deeds
will now be submitted. The necessarily
personal character of the campaign we
deplore but it is inevitable. Cincinnati
has chosen TO present merely personal
issue. 1t claimed TO be Republican
Convention, and it has nominated Re-
publican against the regular actionsand
the known wishes of the great mass of
Republicans, and who cannot hope to be
elected by Republican votes alone, He
breaks the Republican line in front of the
enemy. His sole chance is in their pro-
lection. The question presented to the
country, therefore, is, whether Mr.. Gree
ley, supported by the political interest
which has nominated shin and by Demo
Gratis, would probably give to the country
greater purity of administration and
deeper cofidence and sense Of stability
than General Grant, supported by the Re
publican party.
Mr. Greeley undoubtedly has elements
Of strength, but he is not strong candi

1t will be observed that q little more
than three.quarter of all the publications
are devoted to politics, while of the ,434
remaining nearly one-third (400 are issued
in the interest of religion; the two great
subjects of discussion, politics and re-
ligion, thus monpoliZe 4, ,735 of the 5,766
newspapers and periodicals in the United
States, leaving but !, ,031, less than one-ffth,
for all other interests, including ''literary,
illustrated and miscellaneous. The lat
ter class number nearly half of the re-
mainder, and but 500, therefore, are real
ly devoted to Especial interests" OF these
special publications, it is pleasing to see
that the lions share. 207, belongs to sci
ence and the learned professions; papers
devoted to agriculture and horticulture,
93, treat largely in a popular way of sci
ence practically applied, and may be add
ed to the aggregate of instructive journal
ism. In the number of papers given as
specially devoted to nationality" those
printed in various foreign languages, but
merely as political papers, and not de-
voted to the interests of the race to which
their readers belong, are not included.
1t will please many of our readers to
notice the evident advantage which the
religious press has over the sporting
press. IL the equation was mathemati-
cally correct-as is to 407, so is the num-
Der of men interested in sporting" mat
ters to the number interested in religious
matters-the statistics would be much
more satisfactory. We fear, however,
that various daily and weekly newspapers
carry on more sharp competition with
the sporting" than with the religious
press, so that the numbers given are not a
fair criterion of the popular interests felt
in the respective subjects.
The political papers are divided into
$500 weekly, 552 daily, 1Oi tri-weekly,
100 semi-weekly, 8 semi-monthly, and 6
monthly. The religious papers are di
vided as follows: Weekly, 20S; semi
monthly, 40; monthly, 14l; bi-monthly
/; quarterly, II. There are three daily
scientific or professional newspapers; the
remainder, 204, range from weekly to
quarterly, there being 1870 monthly. The
literary and illustrated papers run the
entire gamut, from daily to Z quarterly,
with 303 weekly and 15f monthly. There
are 8 daily commercial'or financial papers
SO weekly and 40 monthly. Agriculture,
papers: weekly, 30; semi-monthlY, 2
monthly, So. OF the sporting" papers
are weekly and 1 monthly.

lation, we find the facts of special inter
