THE LIBERAL VIEW OF 1T.

The view which the liberals take of the
course of the democracy in their conven-
tons is that it is one of utter repu!sion to
the members of any other party. The
deep disgust and disappoint ment with
which they regard it cannot be kept under
control. Much as they dislike to return
to the republican party, they feel that they
have been shamefully treated by the
democrats, and if they must act with one
or the other party their choice will be with
the republicans. They might have
endured some sharp practice in the dis
tribution of nominations had they been
allowed an opportunity to claim that the
principles of the Greeleyites were still ad-
hered to by the democracy, but there is
not the shadow of chance to maintain
such claim. They have been crowded
into "the last ditch" by their quondam
friends. who have not only rejected their
profers Of union, but gone back to the
resolutions of '9S and presented for candi-
dates members of the real Bourbons The
following editorial found in the New York
Tribune of Thursday morning expresses
the feelings of the liberals upon the mat
ter:
'If the reactionary Democrats of Ohio
wanted to sign and seal a bond against fur
Their Allen county heresies or new departures,
or anything newer than the resolutions of
80, they could not have done better than
they have in their nomination of William
Allen for Governor. Ex-senator Allen is the
typical War Horse of the Democracy in
Ohio. Before Thurman, or Pugh, or PEN
dleton were, he was. In forty years he has
hardly known change. He has always en-
joyed reasonable popularitysand will, doubt
less. make as good . run as anybody in his
circumstances could. The rest of the ticket
IL made up on the pattern suggested by its
head. The resolutions, too, are in strict har-
mony with the nominations, though the pitt
less logic Of events has forced some express
ion of opinion on accomplished facts. In
short, the platform, glittering and general as
It 70, does not materially differ from those
which have been given to the world within
the year. Not more wise than the Ohio dem.
ocrats have the Virginia conservatives proved
themselves. So far as they have gone in
their convention, they have shown enthusi-
asm only ut the utterance of the old rallying
cry of IA White Mans Government for
White Men," This ancient slogan and some
vulgar abuse Of their opponents, the republi-
cans, seemed to indicate high water mark in
the Richmond convention, yesterday. Per

aemocrats before they adjourn; but, so far.

An Attempt to Burn the City,
The Public Library Building make:
49, a Narrow Escape.
A Heavy Rain Saves the City
g." from Destruction.

LOUISVILLE, July Is, 10 P. M.-The
second fire broke out in Third street,
between Main street and the river.
IL o'oLocK, P. M.-Another fire just
broke out on Foarth street,in the house
adjoining the Public Library The
library is in great danger.
IL O'clock, p. M.-The fire on Fourth
street is still raging. There ls too much
confusion to get facts.
LATER. ;
The third fire of the night burnt out
three houses on Third street, two TO-.
bacco factories, Herberts mill and
Nugent's store. This fire at the Begin
ming burned very slowly in consequence
Of a steady rain all the evening. but
got good start in consequence OF the
reserve force having been called 10 the
Market street fire, but getting fairly
started burned furiously and the re-
serves were again called out and were
getting it fairly under control when an
alarm from Fourth street called off
four steamers. This was the fourth
alarm since nine o'clock P. N. The
fire now gained on the fremen for
some little time, but by hard
work was got under control and as fast
as the steamers could be spared they
were hurried off to Fourth street where
rumor had it that the Public Library
building was on fire, and the rumor
was nearer right than usual for it was
the adjoining building, the Bomberger
and Bloom block, very fine three
story building. The flames curled
around the Mansard roof Of the Public
Library unstayed for fully half an hour,
but the buildings were all 30 wet with
the continuous rain, combined with the
labors Of the fremen, that the Library
building at this hour, Ills A. NJ, is
thought to be out Of danger. Two steam
engines from New Albany and one from
Jeffer.onville arrived upon the scene Of
action when almost the hope of saving
the library was given over. An alley
between the Bomberger block and the
opera house saved the latter aud gave
the firemen q chance to direct their
most earnest efforts towards the libra
~. In the block was Vernon's fancy
grocery, Parguy's restaurant, Adrers &
Cloath's establishment, and others. The
buildings were three story and OF mod
ern finish. There were three other
alarms during the burning Of
this. the largest OF the
lot making seven alarms between about
nine o'clock and one. 1t is evidently
the work of band of inceudiaries and
perhaps robbers. Mayor Jacobs was
on hand working and cheering the men.
But for the fortunate rain we would
have had miniature Chicago confa-
grafton. The fire is now thought to
be under control.
