&ACuLJNECS, August lS.-Ihe result Of the
B Hsfimsries in Cincinnati, in which a portion
of tie delegation was chosen for Thurman,
BENDS to strengthen the possibility Of Hoad-
withdrawal, as indicated in my dispat b
Nff Monday morning The fact, however,
bat portion of the delegates were chosen
lDr Thurman who positively and unequivo-
,Ally refuses TO permit his name to be used,
Fsskeps the opposition in that direction,
I'd upon second thought in the delegation
<lhere may De no opposition at all.

igsiust the Governor, claiming that he
'Ould fail to get the support Of the great
ody OF Irish Democrats in the State, aud
huS invite q disastrous defeat Governor
,4osdly himself has not yet finally decided
hethe- or no; he viii su,horizs the use of

pit until the delegates get here and meet
! distrc; csucuses tomorrow night when
swill be able to fairly Judge Of the temper
e the delegates and viii decide the question

harmony and strength to the party. His

The line Of action pursued by
The Cleveland Primary Convention
on Saturday last at which resolutions de-
iUJ nciDg some Of the Presidents appoint
rents, lscturiDg him as to his duties and
tndoIsipg him with faint praise, meets with
90 endorsems ut at the hands of the party in
his STATE and the attempt which will be
made 10 have the State Convention adopt
dmilar resolutions viii be Indignantly
burned out of doors. Ii is generally be.
Ieved that the Cleveland resolutions were
kirfully devised by the enemies of Major
". ". Armstrong, of the Plain Dealer, and
tprung upon the convention for the pur-
bose Of irr iudiciug his chances for appoint
uent 10 the PostmE ership OF that city.
( 4 good many leading Democrats are be.
ginning to arrive from different parts Of the
State, but few OF them go tar are delegates.
,lhe greatest interest is manifested with re-
lard 10 the nomination OF the two Supreme
tIdges, for which ell the candidates are
lew men. More than dozen names have
been canvassed. and the contest while very
warm is verv friendly. The nominations
viii be very 80 ,aetory. as none but men
.of the very highest ability have been men
ItIored in connection with the positions.
Tonight the opposition to HOailys re-
nomination seems to be
AbatinG,
and unless It receives Q fresh Impetus, to
morrow, will wholly disappear. The greatest
interest being manifested tonight is over
the effort B. ing made by certain of Hoadlys
friends 10 sacrifice Lieutenant Governor
Wsrwick and nominate Hon. George l..
Converse in his place The best Democrats
in the State say that Converse record In
the last Republican Congress in Joining with
the Republican members OF the committee
and Gefeating Proctor Knott Pacific Rail
Wsy Land Forfeiture bill would insure the
overwhelming defeat of the party in the
State. So sure are the Republican CORE
spondents tonight that the plan to nominate
Converse will be carried out that they are
copying his record in connection with this
, land iob-one Of the worst OF a Republican
Cor gress-so that it shall - out with the
rcceedipgs Of the Convention.
