CHICAGO, April 70, 1872.
In the language Of professional Bohemians, the
political caldron has reached to boiling point,
and the feeling here concerning the Cincinnati Con-
vention is very intense. Public sentiment, unlike
the leopard, changes Its spots every day. Nine
tenths Of the thinking men distrust the scheme
despite the soda water fzz attained. They do not
believe any more than Humboldt, that Providence
has sent few men into the world, ready booted
and spurred, to ride and millions Of others, ready
saddled and bridled to be ridden. The leaders are
too few and too directly interested. Each man APP
pears to be endeavoring to make high official bed
for himself and his friends to lie on, and there
is no man at the head of the movement having
sufficient thought for his country any thing except
his own success. Adams letter presents to many
minds a creditable antithesis to this debased pool
of ambitions, but by others 1t is looked upon as
capitaly clear piece of demagogery If there ia
one thing more certain than anotherit is that there
cannot be successful fusion OF liberal republicans
and democrats In Chicago or Illinois. This Is owing
chiefly to the absence OF the attraction Of cohesion
in the Cincinnati movement, but directly to the
Billingsgate fight between the Tribune and Times.

Trumbull is not nominated. Not content with the
treachery for ITSELF 1t has constantly thrown mud
at democrats so that the latter more ready for
regular democratic ticket this moment than when
fusion was FIRST proposed, and the 7sIbsnes object
is no doubt, to

street to-day that Trumbull has placed his with

is safe to say he will not give up while
he finds Cincinnati peg to hang on. Trum-
bull has acknowledged 1t is said with intense
bitterness that he win take the second place on the
ticket with almost anybody, rather than not be
nominated at all; but the democrats here openly
declare that they will never support any position OF

paper In the State follows the Tribune In its

Illinois knows. When Douglas was In the Senate
people used to turn out ndsse in respect OF his
politics to welcome him home, but Trumbull has
been an office.holder for twenty years. He may
walk the streets Of Chicago-his home-for quar-
ter of century and no one will nudge his neighbor
and say,

not certain by whom.
Leading democrats OF Chicago who lie low and
watch for game, confidently expect to put regu-
lar democratic ticket in the field and prefer Adams
should he be nominated at Cincinnati to give them
reasonable excuse. Said an honorable irish
democrat to the HERALD correspondent yesterday,
ooh, hope to God
CINCINNATI REPUBLICANS WILL NOMINATE ADAMS
We want only fair chance to show Adams that
we remember his conduct as an English Judge
when he was an American Minister. This is the
sentiment OF nne-tenths Of the Irish democracy. A
bargain has been contaminated with the Germans,
whose reputed strength is largely fictitious and
greatly enhanced by their capacity for manage
ment and the fears OF those who want votes There
is serious but not very respectable German de-
lection, and the Stats ZettunD, an able and up
right paper, has agreed to support exIieutenant
Governor Gustavus Koener for Governor on
liberal ticket In exchange for the German vote for
Grant at the Presidential election. This bargain has
not been made public and will be fought bitterly by
the Ogesby faction. who mean to run Richard
to Springfield again. Palmer is as dead as door
nail on all hands, for he has acted as II bereft OF
political common sense. He will never be elected
to oice again In Illinois. Tremendous efforts will be
made to secure the support Of the Post for the Gin
cnnat ticket, as it is necessary to get one OF the
