The Cincinnati Convention.

MR.. MoRRIS0N'S VIEWS ON TIE SfrU ALTON.
The following are the letters OF Representa-
tive Morrison on the democratic presidential
situation, published by the Chicago Times a
few days ago. They have attracted good deal
of attention and provoked considerable COM
ment, and also perhaps some pad feeling:
Washington Nay IS 1880
You have no doubt heard some mention OF
my name in connection with the presidential
nomination. Many well Informed democrats OF
New York believe all the prominent men OF that
state Tilden and Seymour Included. to be so
mixed up with local quarTelS and the disputes
of factions that the candidate must be taken
from some other state TO secure harmony. Sen
ator BayardS anti war record OF 1861 lately pub
lished in the New York Sun is hurtful to him
Gov HENDRICKS and Judge Thurman are shur
out by the financial question Ii the candidate
is to be acceptable to New York. New jersey
and connecticut. SO the talk came about me
as about the only man I'm sight with any pubic
record which would stand the test. It was
also suggest ed that some campaign noise could
be made OF the fact that | was private sol
dier Ia the Mexican war ana had Gen Grants
endorsement as zone of our best Officers In the
late War-that OF all old fashioned democrats
was least vulnerable on questions resulting
from the war which will enter largely into the
canvass. The mention of my name has been so
favorably received that / am pleased with IT,
though am not crazy on the subject nor have
built any great expectations upon ft. Still
am not without reasons for believing that with
the cordial and earnest support OF our state
something may come OF It. If not nobodys hurr
