Mutual Destruction of Davis and Trumbull. Close Race Between the Respectable Adams and the Philosophie Greeley. as A Sok SS TROUBLE ALREADY IN THE AIR pate Ohio Indignantly Rejects the Ticket. THE FREE TRADERS FURIOUS A Platform of Compromises with a Preamble of Catehpenny Commonplaces. Editorial Support of Our Later Franklin. A MEDLEY OF OPINIONS. CINCINNATI, May 8, 1872. Mr. Greeley’s nomination affects people here thus :—The old free traders are outraged. Southern democrats are delighted. Old whigs are mollified. The Irish are tickled. The Germans are cold and complaining, saying in a suggesting way, too much water in mine. On the whole, the nomina- tion discourages the intellectual men, the agitators and brains of the movement. It pacifes conservatives and people who want sentiment and quaint character in the canvas. The Southefm democrats will fight desperately to compel the democratic party to support and endorse it, The New York moneyed democracy will struggle to “pooh-pooh”’ it. In much ot the trans-Mississippi region, in the Northwest, it will do as well as any ticket. In Northern New England, particularly in Vermont, it will create enthusiasm, and in the Middle States it will go popularly and witha rush. The State of Ohio is most disturbed about it. OHIO SECEDES. That State this afternoon, in a tumultous meet- ing, headed by the two Brinkerhoits, repudiated the choice, denounced Geeeley as an imbecile and Brown a3 aswindler anda sell. The Brinkerhoffs, however, live in the same town John Sherman, and talk Grant with suspicious magnanimity. PROSPECTS OF THE TICKET. : It will take several days to ascertain the position. In my judgment the nomination can be made to carry Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Wis- consin, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Vermont and every State of the border and South, DAVIS DEAD. Davis men keep up hopes of a democratic nomi- nation for Davis. If that justice has any pride of character he will not tempt fortune twice, He showed no strength here. The press and the con- trolling influences of the country spewed him out, If the democratic party try him it will be beaten. Trumbull was beaten by the stupidity of the Illinois men and the homicidal inconsequentiality of the Davis movement. Davis is denownced on all sides asafraud. He slew his fellow citizen Trumbull, and yet polled not enough votes to dignify himsclf. The great States of New York, Pennsylvania and the South, together with the Missouri combination, made Greeley the candidate. THE SOUTH FOR GREELEY. The South was for Greeley from the first. New York was for him from State pride. Pennsylvania was for him in order not to alarm tariff interest and give itto Grant. Greeley, to succeed, ought to say something speedily and kindly for the free traders, who are not yet in open rebellion to the ticket. but very much hurt. He must say some generous words to these—must endeavor to think of them liberally, for they are the soul of the movement and can yet be recovered to it. . OPINIONS OF GREELEY. Here are some opinions. Gratz Brown says Gree- Jey is the chivalrous spirit of the place. To write three columns a day six days in the week and be so little of a fool is statesmanship. Judge Brinkerhoit says Greeley is a nuisance in the way of all reform- ers; he is not a man of reason, and only has a smattering of odds and ends of things; the country is not safé with him; Grant is a failure, bnt we can trust him.” Colonel W, Grosvenor, of Missouri, says, “We are discouraged.” Carl Schurz says he has received by telegraph pro- tests from everywhere this afternoon, and that the Germans do not like it. He adds, “I retire to sleep iflcan; perchance to dream.” Fitz Henry War- ren, of Iowa, says, “In our State we can easily make a combination with the democrats and carry the State from Greeley. Carl Schurz says, “Ihave no discouragement, and come iuto the Convention and by the Convention I will abide. Horace White says, ‘1 am not feeling well and will try to feel better over our affair to-morrow.” David A. Wells says, ‘The cause of free trade is set back twenty years; 1 will go to Europe and do nothing to help Grant; how can I be happy?’ Edward Atkinson says, “I want to go fishing; Iam sold out; preteen, like a victorious nightmare, rides all.” J. B. Grinnell, of lowa, says, “Greeley is the most popular man in the United States; he will carry lowa.” Mr, Jayne, brother-in-law of Senator Trum- bull, says, “The ticket is the choice ot the Conven- tion; let none be discouraged.” Wash. H. Lamon says, “I am for the ticket personally; I am beaten, but | can’t be wheeled in for Grant.” Long John Wentworth says, “It's first class; the prairies will be on fire to-night everywhere for Uncle Horace.’’ Frank Sterns, of Richmond, says, “It is a noble ticket,” and will sweep ‘Vi all the South, rebel or negro; it means ace.’ Colonel McClure says, “We still ave to make a big fight in Pennsylvania, but we can win with these men.” Mr. Dorsheimer, a lead- ing free trader, of New York, 89 "I voted for YS: Greeley every time.

I saw Gratz Brown receive a ‘despatch trom eters announcing Greeley's acceptance. Brown heard it read quietly and then said it was just like Uncle Horace. Brown just escaped Political death to-day by the success of his combination, —- PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 3, 1872.

The following donble-leaded editorial in the Com- ing attracted most marked leaders of the liberal republican moveme The Commercial heads the article with the stion, | | “Shall the ticket be Greeley and Brown or Adame | and Trumbull?” and then says If we may assume ‘that the Liberal Convention will survive the pangs to which it is subjected and | pass safely through the trials incident to the | adoption of a platform touching the tariff, the | question will, in our judgment, arise speedily whether the theket shall be Greeley for President, with Gratz Brown for Vice President, or Charles | Francis. Adams for President, with Lyman | Trumbull for Vice President. Let us survey the field and see whether this is not the state of the case. The great combination which was | made to carry this Convention for Davis and Certin has been smashed, The job was overdone, and when exposed and denounced Its success be- | came impossible. When Carl Schurz, moved by considerations above those of personal friendship or local association, declined to use his great in- fluence to promote the ambition of Gratz Brown to take the first place on the ticket there was no use in talking any gnore about Mr. Brown and that place, and ‘The Illinois candidates threw each other out of the fight. We regard it entirely certain, therefore, that either Adams or Greciey will be the nominee for the first office, and the re- sult may depend on the combinations formed as to the second place onthe ticket. Greeley’s friends have held New York with tenacious grasp, ove bearing the wishes of a large majority, and while they have @ hold on Pennsylvania, the are | alarmed about the latent strength of ‘Lasme in that State. In the extreme South Greeley is strong, and in the States across the Ohio, where he is not the real favorite, there has been a desperate struggle to secure for him a complimentary vote or two, the presumption of the managers being that everything depends on the strength shown at first, and in this he has been specially assisted by Brown's Kentucky friends. Our readers may have forgotten that some of the earliest and most significant of ireeley 's letters committing himself to opposition to Grant appeared in country papers in Missouri. In one of these, published in the Greeley referred in most flattering terms tot | ernor Browa, and, if we are not mistaken. pra. | rorited by what | eis for | The vast concourse had by this time greatly di- | 4 unanimity un- | and not a few wry faces; precedented in popular spontaneous — uprising, | for the most part acquiesced In, much after the fashion of having (wo hard pills that must be Nearly every anti-Grant man on | the streets said the ticket was a good one, | surrounded by a crowd of the and, perhaps, the most popular that conid have | nocracy can stand it, the Southern people will vote for it solidly.

How the Philosopher's Nomination Was Ree ceived in Both Houses—The Democracy Non- Committal—Opinions of Various Members. WASHINGTON, May 3, 1872, The eager interest manifested by everybody in Washington regarding the Cincinnati Convention reached a climax of excitement this morning, when. the telegrams begun giving the ballots for the nominees. In the departments, at the White House and at the ‘apito!, the most intense interest was exhibited. Public business, in the hands of politicians, suifered temporary suspension, while seerctaries, clerks, messen- gers, laborers, Congressmen and citizens crowded around the builetin boards, speculating on the re- sult, No definite news regarding the platform was received until after it became evident that GREELEY WAS GAINING GROUND, Fitiaty, when the change of votes on the sixth ballot for him was announced, a broad grimace as- serted itself, unconsciously, perhaps, on everyone's face, Everybody smiled, and for once the popula- ton of the capital enjoyed a Unanimous erin. Then the vote came announcing his nomination and miuatters began to as- sume a serious — asp The expressions of opinion, regarding the result in the future, as Well as the PROSPECTS OF THE GREAT FARMER, were, of course, as diverse as itis possible to im. agine. Old fashioned republicans, habituated to read and swear by Grecicy, and now holding oMce under Grant, with dimeult, ame a natural im- pulse to hurrah, Democratic sympathizers with the effort to divide the republican party, who hoped that a sugar-coated pill would be presented them, gulped down a sigh, and sald something pro- fane, Revenue reformers and other promoters of the new movement repressed their emotions of page until they could have time to learn some- ABOUT TIE TARIFF PLANK of the platform, and the political eunnchs, who plentifully congratulated or condoled ‘They met as the proprieties of the EIN THE SENATE, when the news was received, was one ot complacent dignity, such as only the members of that body could arrange, even if they had studied to prepure themselves for an art tableau. Mr. Fenton was the recipient of the dispatches, and his chair was conseqne ay: ss dignified Sena- tors, who conld not wait to have the telegrams passed around, Trumbull was the most undis- turbed of all those on the floor. His equantintty astonished lus friends, as well as the numerous strangers in the galleries, who watched closely for indicatirns ofexcitement in his parchinent-like face. In truth, he seemed rather to get the news by SOME OCCULT PROCESS OF INDUCTION, if he got it at all, than by the course usual to ordi- nary men. Other members smiled, made comments, exchanged opinions and preserved their dignity with customary success; but he alone asserted an immobility of demeanor, that will last for all time in the SY, of its witnesses, as a remarkable instance of self-possession. At last, when ev one else had delivered himself of some ¢ he remarked to those in his immediate vicinity :— “If the country can stand THE FIRST BURST OF MIRTH eroaeee will call forth it may prove a strong ticket.” THE SCENE IN TUE HOUSE. The House, with less dignity than the Senate, eagerly watched the reporters’ gallery, from which Slips of paper containing the seve: V'pattots were dropped to the floor as fast as they could be copied from the telegraph instrument in the corridor in the rear. The news thus reached that body before it was announced to the Convention in Cincinnati ; for the reporters had a circuit direct from their gal lery to the stage’ in Exposition Hall, so that as fast as each vote was counted, and before it could be announced by the Si tary of the Con- vention, we had the result here, The ne on the Mr. Dawes was on his feet making # tariff spe i, under other circumstances, would have attracted unusual at- tention; but as the excitement increased his hearers deserted him, and he appeared like one “who beat- eth the air to empty nothingness.’ The chief inter- est was displayed ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, although many republicans left their seats to ick up the slips as they fell from the gallery. Mr. Niblay E received the first and most explicit infor- mation, and his desk was consequently the centre of attraction, Which soon drew a crowd around it. The excitement grew so intense as the results of the ballot became known that Mr. Dawes suspended his remarks, and the Chairman labored in vain to restore order, “Adams ahead, Greeley gaining, Chase coming up,” was telegraplied back and for- ward from the gallery to the floor, while the faces and gestures of the members furnished the index by which the effect of the news was marked, AG last the nomination was RECEIVED AMID A UNIVERSAL GRIN, The Chairman announced the name of Horace Greeley as the candidate, and proceeded to restore order. This was found, even by Mr. Scofield, whose dignity is @ guarantee of order on ordinary oc- | casions, to be well nigh a hopeless task, Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, asked if tt would be in order to congratulate the House upon a great protection victory. ‘This evidently touched a chord in Mr. Randall's bosom, who replied, “WELL, HE IS AN HONEST MAN ANYHOW.” Mr. Scofield evidently doubted the news, and turning his face upwards asked a friend in the gal- lery, “Isn't this a sell 7 Fernando Wood remarked with discreet diplo- macy. iWell, this removes a heavy load from my mind."? Gartield said “Bully for Greeley,” whatever that means. Butler commenced fumbling among his private papers, hunting for a letter from Greeley, to be used against him as a campaign document. Sloss, of Alabama, uttered an exclamation more energetic than polite. John Hill said, “Well, if he (Greeley) lives up to his word, he'll have to withdraw.” Sam Randall was the only democrat who ex- pressed the opinion that he could “stomach the ticket,”” ‘The excitement graduaily lessened, order was re- stored, and the debaté was resum The demo- cratic members of both houses had an informal consultation regarding their course under the con~ tingencies thus forced upon them, which resulted in their sending numerous despatches to their cou- stituents and personal or political friends, advising them NOT TO COMMIT THEMSELVES FOR A FEW Days. They also agreed that they would abstain from public utterance regarding the matter themselves at present, and finally decided to: await the action of the Democratic Convention before committing themselves as a body for or against the nomina- tion, Notwithstanding this discreet resolution, however, they could not repress themselves in pri- vate conversation, and Messrs. Voorhees, Kidridge, Golladay, Morgan and several others, while solacing: their empty stomachs in the restaurant, very hon- estly declared that they were giad Greeley hyd been nominated, because it will be easier for the democracy TO BEAT TWO R Mr. Golladay said :-—“With an original republican up at Cincinnati and a bastard democrat to be put up at Philadelphia the republican party is in a bad fix—one that we will take advantage o: The very general impression to-night is that tho nomination will not receive any further endorse- ment. A few enthusiastic admirers of the new candidates have been heard to express the opinion that General Grant or the Philadelphia nominee now ought to withdraw, so as to heal the bre the party, while others, including Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the House, think Mr. Greeley will be com- pelled to do that magnanimous thing himself.

He has up to this time ex- pressed no determination regarding the matter, but lus friends assert that he has no other course to pursue.
