ment OF the liberal organization, II just previously
.ne liberals shall have held their state Convention
for the coming year and have adjourned. / thlnk
the great body OF the liberals are
UNWILLING TO BE ABSORBED
IN either the democratic or republican marty
They have no unwilingness, however TO co-ope-
rate with either Of them-that Is, to take from The
tickets they shall nominate the best men, without
reference to the party 10 which they belong.
ut Is uncertain to my mind toward which they
lean most, DIX or Tllden, and can hardly saw Il
they VIII be DESTROYS OF expressing their opinion
when they meet IN convention. Having affirmed
their state organization rather think that they
will be inclined to await furtner Developments be-
fore they determine iully for what men to vote
thatis to learn what men are placed upon the
THE TWO GREAT PARTIES
and for what oflces-theif fitness, ability honesty,
&c. do not thlnK that the liberals have an idea
ofnominating An independent ticket"
The question was then propounded to General
Cocnrane as to what his views were with regard
20 the Presidency. Said he, IN reply: You ask

As to Grants third term, there are many VINO

TO suppose that he Will see TO 1t that the Office Is

General Grant is far-seeing man, and n the pros

THE CHANCES OF THE TWO PARTIES.
In reply TO question addressed to him IN re-
gard to the relative change OF the republican and
democratic nominees In the next Presidential
campaign General Cochrane said 81 must say
that what that canvass shall be, by what parties
made, by what combinations and under what is
sues is matter OF impenetrabe obscurity In my
mind. There may not be then the present repub-
llcan party or the present democratic party.
Grants nomination for third term will probably
rupture the republican party, and the new and
formidable combinations at the West-the peoples
movement, the Independent conventions, grangers,
&c, are making
TERRIBLE HAVOC WITH THB NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.
You must wait, think, till next year for an an
swer to this question. We liberals are waiting for
exactly that time and Its developments, and when
they come apprehend that we snail In New York
be marcaing IN the same column and to the
same music with the thousands who then shat
have combined, whether democrats, Independents
grangers or liberals against ocial dishonesty an(
