neTc, tuhL tnOSe WHO ndu Inhue tuo HOiiiU-
alton had cast overheard all thought Of q
coalition with the democracy; but such Is
not the case, for they are at work like
beavers trying to impress upon the demo-
cratic senators and members the necessity
of their party supporting Mr.. Greeley and
they triumphantly point to the number Of
democratic journals who advocate the en-
dorsement of the liberal republican nom
ination. A rumor was also going the
rounds that Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton and
Elk. Senator Hendricks wero favorable to
Greeley's endorsement by the democratic
convention. From conversations with the
friends of the latter gentleman i am very
much inclined to doubt the truth Of the
story. Although the radicals affect to
laugh at Grecley's nomination, the tone Of
the members of congress and Office holders
and their press is one Of great doubt and
perplexity. The general feeling among
the democratic members and senators is
for democratic nomination, yet consider.
able reserve is manifested as though they
were not sure what might happen. What
ever may DO the feeling in other sections
Of the country there is sort Of shakyness
| in political sentiment here which is very
hard to determine. A few weeks and the
sky will be entirely clear, all doubts will
be resolved, the great campaign entered
upon and from present indications am
most hopeful Of success.
HUMoRs OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Already has the work of fun begun. In
to.day's Republican of this city, a letter
purporting to be Greeley's letter of accept
ancs is published. 1t drags in all of Hor-
aces peculiarities, his profanity, the in@-
table d-n, Internal liar, villain, ETC., pn
to Richmond, protection, temperance, etc,
etc. 1t illustrates very plainly that whit
ever party carries Horace Greeley on is
shoulders will have to bear an amount ,f
ridicule that in all probability would
swamp any party no matter how strong t
might be.
ALEcK. MCCLURE,
chairman of the Pennsylvania liberal re-
publican state committee, has published
an address calling on the liberals to orgal-
ize immediate and systematic.
THE RADICAL NATIONAL EXECUTIVE CON.
MITTEE
met at the capitol yesterday and consid.
cred the Cincinnati nominations. They
are trying to keep their courage up by
whistling to the effect that these nomina.
tons can be beaten as we'll as any other
1t was also said that they felt sure tina,
the democrats will put ticket in the field
Whether this wish is father to the thought
or not leave my readers to determine.
LABOR REFORM CONVENTION IN PENN.
sYLvANIA.
Advices from Williamsport indicate the
nomination of Hon. VIM. McClelland, NJ
c., from the oath district of that state
This nomination would be very wise one
as the democratic convention at Reading
would no doubt endorse this gallant soldier
and sterling democrat and thus secure the
Keystone state beyond peradventure to the
the democracy.
GRANTS WITHDRAWAL
from the Philadelphia convention after
receiving complimentary vote is still the
subject of gossip but there are few green
enough to entertain SO self-sacrificing ar
estimate of Gen. Grant. My word for il
he will stick and eight it out on tina,
line" If he knew it would smash, as il
probably will, the radical party.
PACIFIC MAIL.
The debate on the amendment to the ap-
preparation bill increasing the subsidy TO
the Pacific mail steamship company be-
tween San Francisco and China and Japan
was quite interesting, embracing the re-
vival of our commerce and the increase of
our navy, the training of American sea-
men, the relative merits of iron and
wooden vessels on the Pacific, American
ship building, the control Of the trade
with the east and Englands method Of
fostering her commerce, which showed
that the lines from Liverpool to Hong
Kong received more than two and half
million dollars per annum in gold from
the government. The advantages which
will accrue to us nationally and CONNER
cially by congress enabling this company
to double the number Of its ships and trips
were so clearly demonstrated by the Cali.
fornia senators, Casserly and Cole, aided
by Stockton, of New York, and Corbett, Of
Oregon, that the amendment. was passed
by vote Of 30 yeas TO Is nays. Senator
Cole stated that If we do not put on thii
additional service we will see an Englisl
line on that precise route within shor
time. The loss TO US should this happer
is shown by the fact that in 1853 not sin
gle pound of tea was imported into New
York by way Of San Francisco, and In
1871, through this communication, the
number OF pounds was 1889, 1928, Will,
the increased duties received by this com,
pany we're SO, l64, 233 IN gold. The hous,
will without doubt concur in the senat,
amendment.
THE RADICAL Pow.wow
over the best means for Grant and hi
model cabinet to back down from tho con

foolshly took, is very harshly commented
