“LONG BRANGH RAGES. Fourth Day of tho Monmouth ' Park Meeting. YHREE CAPITAL CONTESTS. Longfellow Again on the ' Track. —_—_ + HE WINS THE MILE-HEAT CONTEST s Medora the Winner of the July Stakes and Lochiel the Purse for Beaten Horses. ‘Wad Fotitth of July indeed on Monmouth Park, everybody seemed in holiday attire and in day humor, Several thousands left the Branch ‘an barly hour, to be on hand at the racing, and Jarge crowds left New York by the steamboats Plymouth Rock and Jesse Hoyt, many of them be- fing ladies, with baskets full of luncheon, for the game purpose. Family parties were numerous and ‘ehildren in abundance, all richly dressed and full of giee, rendering the scene one of pleasure, The humorous portrait chap—‘“‘cut your likeness gta glance’—was on board, and afforded much ‘amusement while he imposed on the crowd. He glouched through among them and opened his mouth; that alone was enough to attract attention. His appearance denotes that he isa beat. The im- pudence of this fetlow is something frightful. Sud- denly he would stop in front of a gentleman who was intent in reading a newspaper, and, shaking hhis scissors at him ina menancing manner, would way :— “Out, cut, sir? only ten conts; lifelike portrait; don’t care if you don’t pay me; like to do the work for fun.” ‘This uncouth specimen has not been around for me time, but everybody knows him. Sometimes ¢ 1s on Wall street, then at Central Park and then ‘he disappears, and the people who remember him hope that he has gone forever. Suddenly he re- urns, and you will meet the plague in counting rooms and stores pestering citizens. If he was “Aecently clad and didn’t grin in his frightful way Re might be tolerated; but that Is too much to hope for, and he will have to be tolerated by an abused ublic, * Agreat hum and buzz greeted Longfellow when pe came upon the track for the mile-heat race. His gree were as mild as those of an Eastern queen and e moved with the same old grace—free and easy, ke the springs of a watch. One could not help but think that the King of Runners looked as though he jeepised nis companions in the race. It seemed mething like a contest between a rich man’s son, on charlotte russe, and poor boys who been living on gingerbread and mo- 3, with ail the chances in favor of ne former, and deservedly so. The first and sec- (pnd heats were slow, but it seemed to be nolsed \Sbroad that the third would be fast, and when the (poraes Were about being sent away the jockeys ®lustered in the field and anxiously awaited the @apof the drum. The companion of Longfellow ‘proved of true mettle, and when the great crowd paw them moving at a clipping pace, and at times jusan Ann near his head, they almost held their reath with interest. On they came, like well Matched swallows, but near the end an extra and of steam was put on by Longfellow's rider, nd, like a weil baliasted yacht in agale, he cut se and won the heat and race in style, amid < thousand yells, more than one of which could be jeard a mile. They came from Kentuckian throats. At this time the grand stand was pleasant to look Bpon. The ladies chattered like plumaged birds in forest. The front rows of seats were fringed with Eager-eved men, and the ladies were as anxious eager as ever seen on the track. There were more countrymen present than during any day of the meeting. You always can tell these re They gre continually betting small sums and then get- fing into trouble about settlements. ad icular, Where the two back-country lads col- red each other before a solution of the problem ‘was arrived at. | The ciub house was crowded with distinguished | jemen and many ladies. Larry Jerome, with blue ribbon of nonor on his left breast, seemed enjoy himself hn . Near him sat Daniel Drew, great millionnaire and dealer in stocks. On either le of them were one or two politicians of note. | Larry, in the midst of conversation with these, sud- eg d checked his fow of humorous remarks, and {hie face assnmed a serious and determined expres- Bion. Excusing himself, he entered the restaurant, and, whisper! to a _ waiter, despatched him to Uncle John Harper's _ stable with the words that his distinguished aopny was required at the house. Larry had de up his mind that two such old gentlemen as Daniel Drew and Joln Harper should be acquainted. They were rulers ip their respective spheres. John goon came hobbling along, in his drab hat and dusty suit, and was met at the steps by Mr. Jerome. Arm-in-arm they sauntered to where Drew was | ‘sitting, when, hat in hand and blue ribbon futter- ing in the breeze, Larry introduced them. Uncle jobn got rid of his Kentucky stick, and Daniel and e shook hands. Then these two old men looked at each other long and earnestly. At last Dante! Afted his eyes, and, with a serions expression, said to Uncle John:. “You are quite an old man.” ‘ “And you are guite an old man, too,” returned Unele John. ‘Then they shook hands again, and Uncle Jobn's ‘withered-up face for the second time met the mo- roceo countenance of Daniel, and the latter sald:— “Tm giad we know one ‘nother."” “so am I; and I'm glad you like hosses,” added ‘Uncle John. ' “Tlike horses and I like cattle, too, and, come to think, | must have met you, Mr. Harper, more nor fifty years ago, when I was a cattle drover in es “Well, I reckon you might; I'm ava old man.” Then these distinguished individuals talked “stock,” fully able to understandingly discuss the subject, owing to their jong intimacy with the busi- en, m Meanwhile Larry had disappeared; he was in the saloon, industriously mixing seme decoction in a huge ¢ basin—sort of a big dairy basin—that would hold a gallon, liquid measure, A auile. lighted up his countenance, It irradi- ted handsome face and red yy intimacy of John to disturb these old men lisa, but he had a luxury , and his blue ribbon on more than ever in the and Daniel. is their dreamy state of etore for them. “Gentlemen,” said Lat that left breast futtere whispering wind—‘gentiemen, won't you walk 1n Thave a little cool beverage for you.” It was a pit “Tet’s go,” said Daniel. «Well, let's go,” chimed in Joun. ‘They went; and Larry asked the basin.

Three races came off, the first being a dash of three- quarters of @ mile by two-year-olds, the second race mile heats, best three in five, and the third a dash of @ mile and a half, In the first race—the July Stakes—which had twenty-two entries, five only came to the post. These were August Belmont’s bay filly Medora, by Kentucky, dam Camilla; H. P. McGrath's bay colt Tom Bowling, by Lexington, dam Lucy Fowler; F. Morris’ chestnut colt by Eclipse, dam Etiquette; J. C. Hare's bay colt Aerolite, by Asteroid, dam Edith, and R. W. Walden’s chestnut colt Liverpool, by Planet, dam Novice. McGrath's ‘om Bowl- ing was the favorite over the field. He, how- ever, was beaten by Mr. Belmont’s filly by a neck, and this was occasioned solely by the bad riding of Tom Bowling’s jockey, who, getting a bad » ran through the horses for a quarter of a mile, kept far in front for another quarter, and on the third, when half way through it, got in trouble, and was yught by Medora and beaten under the wire by a neck. Had Tom Bowling been properly ridden after Setting the bad send-off and kept for a burst atthe finish we think the result might have been different. Tho second race—the Jersey Jockey Club Purse, 1,600, for all ages, mile heats, best three in flve—had four starters, consisting of John Harper's brown horse low, by Leamington, dam Nantura; H. bay | mare Susan’ Ann, by Lexing- Roxana; J. W. Hunt eynolds’ mare Metella, ay Australian, dam La Grande Duchesse, and A. 0. Franklin's bay mare Arizona, by Lexington, dam Zone. Long- follow was not sold in the pools, as every person knew that he would win the race ; but Susan Ann and the others were sold very freely, Arizona being the first choice, Susan Ann’ the second in favor. As there were three purses for first, second and third horses John Harper gave his jockey orders not to run faster than Was necessary to win, and not to gofor a distance. The first two heats were run very slowly, but when the deciding heat came to De tested for second and third money Susan Ann. Metella and Arizona had a capital race for it, and atone timo Susan Ann was a length in front of Longfellow on the homestretch. This was a capital heat, and was run in most excellent time—1 :43%. Susan Ann won the second prize, Metella the third. Arizona was out-paced on the last half mile of the last heat and was badly beaten. ‘The third race was for a purse of $500, for beaten horses, all ages; those beaten once allowed five pounds; twice, ten pounds; three times, fourteen unds.

Time of the heat, 1:56%. Second Heat.—Susan Ann had the best of the | send-off, but Longfellow ina few Pe took the lead. He was two lengths ahead at the Club House turn and five lengths in front at the quarter pole, Susan Ann second, one length tn advance of Ari- vona, who was four lengths in front of Metelia, the latter evidently laying up for the heat. Longfellow galloped along leisurely down the backstretch and around the lower turn; but, being pulled hard, Susan Ann and Arizona closed up nearly all the daylight at the tee pee pole. The big horse up the stretch at a good exercising pace, and won the heat by six lengths, Susan Ann second, @ head im advance of Arizona, Meteclia several lengths further off.

Time of the miie ILLINOIS. Inside View of the Political Ris- ing in the State,” THE BITTER CONTEST. The Friends of Grant and Greeley Drawn Up in Hostile Array—Grant Strong but Cautious— Striking at the Germans—Attempt to Rob Teutonia of Lager and Independ- ence—Meanness of the Party Press. ‘ Cxicaao, July 1, 1872, Itis in some degree unfortunate that the parti- Sanship which curses 80 many of our American journals should have extended itself to that branch of journalism—the collection and representation of facts, or what the pnblic accepts as facts. ‘The news department of a newspaper, at least, should be held sacred, and its integrity maintained, even ‘at the cost of the cause which the editorial staff is advocating. Such ever has been the theory and the practice of THE HERALD; but such is neither the theory nor the practica of the rest of the American press. Especially in the excitement of a Presidential cam- paign does this talent for deliberate misrep- resentation exist, and in Illinois at present the political fever is at its height. Every- body calls everybody else a liar, and the violence with which men abuse tneir opponents finds no parallel save in the lofty contempt in which their opponents profess to hold them, all of which, doubtlees, is suMciently amusing, but more tnan suMiciently confusing. To judge from this morn- ing’s Tribune Grant will not carry a precinct in the State; to judge from the evening's Journal there are no liberal republicans in Illinois. Truth, tremes, and it Is to discover the precise amount of truth in the matter that your correspondent has set himself assiduously during the two days of THR SPRINGFIELD CONVENTION and the few days that have since elapsed. The conclusions at which he has arrived, and which he now presents, if erroneous are honest, and not based on ex parte evidence. With the history of the liberal republican movement in America, and intimately acquainted. I shall, therefore, let the past bury ita historical dead, and devote myself to a review of the present situation, especially as It is affected by the conventions which met at Spring- field on the 26th ult. spect Pennsylvania, in that the republicans are not in perfect accord as to their State ticket and their Presidential election. Last session the Legis- lature passed a Temperance bill similar in its pro- Visions to the Ohio acta. This measure proved ter- Tibly obnoxious to the democrats and scarcely less obnoxious to the Germans, who form a very large fraction of the republican party. Its repeal Was demanded almost as soon as the bill had passed (it goes into effect to-day), but the temper- ance men of the republican party, who are very strong in the rural districts, declared that the Measure must stand, and threatened a bolt other- wise, The republicans, being thus in astrait be- tween potheen and prohibition, took that middie course which pleases nobody. They placed a plank in their platform declaring that all ‘uncon- stitutional legislation” was undesirable, un- constitutional and that sort of thing, but neglected to state precisely whether the Temperance act was the — “uncon- stitutional” or not. Of course this failed to satisfy the Germans, and was construed by the prohibitioniste into half-heartedness in the Cause of cold water. Hence it comes that a very large section of the German republican party, led by the most influential journals, array themselves in op- position to the State ticket, while declaring them- selves for Grant. THE REGULAR REPUBLICAN PARTY has the advantages which invariably accrue to the “ins"—organization and influence. The State pa- tronage is controlled by Hon. C B. Farwell, Con- essman from the First district, and General | Logan, whose sudden conversion to the cause of the President has done it little good. While Mr. | Lone has avery large and enthusiastic clientéle, e as Weakened his personal influence with them by his sudden wheeling into line with the candl- date whom he had go frequently denounced as [Spe of every sin in the calendar. The party, too, as been too partial to oMce holders or the rela- tives of office-holders in selecting its managers—a serious fault in where ALLEGATIONS OF NEPOTISM have been so profusely made and the issne has been artfully presented as the freeing of the people from or their continued enslavement by a horde of om. celal leeches. Asimilar fault prevails among the Uberal republicans. Conspicuous among their chiefs they have “Long John’ Wentworth, one ot the most shameless and {retrievable ward bummers that ever raled and ruined a party. Horace White, of the 7ridune, has an abundance of brains, and his paper has much infinence, but the fact that per- sonal spite has had much or all todo with his re- nunclation of the republican jovt weakens him and makes him an undesirable leader and figure- head for a party which professes to be vindicating principles against men. More of this, however, anon. “LIBERAL REPUBLICANISM” IN ILLINOIS is much the same as it ig elsewhere, an aggregation of men dissatisfied with their party—some from principle, others for personal reasons—round whom the democrats rally with an enthusiasm propor- tioned to the desperation of the democratic cause. The democrats of Dlinois love Mr. Greeley about.as Well as the devil loves holy water, bat they made up their minds two months ago to ratify the Cincin- nati nominee, cost what it might. You see they were “out of meat,” and woodchuck was better than nothing. Despite the soreness and slowness of the Chicago Times to abandon the idea of a straight ticket, of a rebolt to Groesbeck, of ny. thing but Greeley, they have decided to support the State ticket and Presidential nominations of the Cincinnati party. Herein they are wise after their meration. Tilinois four years gave President rant about 81,000 majority over Horatio Seymour. It would therefore seem that a defection of at least 25,000 would be required, or ten per cent of the re- publican vote, to defeat Grant. Such a contingency the leaders and organs of the Grant party declare to be impossible, and claim that Grant Will detach as many votes and induce as many stayaways from and in the democratic party, na t gut. disgusted with Greeley, as wil! more than for the loss of strength which the party m fer. Here lica the great DANGER TO THE REGULAR REPUDLICANS— holding their opponents too cheaply. There is no error more common orfatal. They permit anony- mous correspondents to write from this place or that that “there is only one liberal here, and he is @ democrat; “The liberal mass meeting was attend- ed by two men, three boys and a mule,” and soon, In one town in Shelby county, where | met over forty republicans who were pledged to Greeley, Chicago paper—the Jowrnal, | think—declares that there are not five liberal repub- licans. I will not hesitate to say that at least one out of every twenty of the republicans Ihave met in a two weeks tour is for Greeley. Small as this may seem the percentage is equal to more than twelve thonsand votes, which would bring the Grant ticket down to 237,600 and the Greeley ticket up to 212,000, To assert that Governor Palmer, Senator Trambull, Governor Koerner, the C! Tribune, all the prominent movers in this secession, do not carry with them a large retinue of friends ts to outrage common sense. A further source of weakness in the regular republican party is to be found in the fact that they the cam} of 1872 on the war cry of 1861, and with the ‘of 1864, This sort of thing in Illinois is pecasstng. played out.

The preservation of this and of the State will de- pen preiaesty on the vigilance of the party itself; secondly, on the October elections; lastly, on the German vote. people here are pre- pared to see Indiana and even Pennsylvania car- ried by the Greeley combination troupe; but should Ohio in Oc Fe against Grant I think there would be a panic of the worst sort, not only insur- ing the logs of Illinois, but of every State in the Northwest but lowa. 'The fact is, the allegiance of too many of the Grant men here, especially in Chi- cago, has been arising but disinterested. Promi- nent republicans have felt badly scared before Cin- cinnati, badly scared at the time of Sumner’s speech, badly scared at the reported Morton plot for the succession, This feeling that a too positive support may not be mre to Grant lest Thereby posta else should offended has made the rank and file lose confidence; and while a little would raise their courage, alittle would insure their complete rout. The liberal republicans have relegated the temperance question to the electoral districts—a piece of tactics quite as cowardly as those of the republicans, but not quite so apparent and displeasing. SHOULD MR. SCHURZ APPEAR in Illinois and take the stump I make no doubt whatever but that the State would Uberal, as far as the Governor and part of the State ticket is concerned, there would just be a possibility that the Germans wouldn't stop there. In the mat- ter of tickets the liberals have a little the better of it, 80 far as concerns the Governor. They have nominated Governor Gustavus Koerner—so called Decause he was once Lieutenant Governor—an old German politician, who was one of the original re- Been and was given the mission to in or rtugal, I fo whi by Mr. Lincoln. He is a popular, upright gentleman, and will carry great strength among en, My Personal opinion is, and always has been, that Gov- ernor Palmer would have been the strongest man and the most certain to beat Oglesby—stronger far than Mr. Trumbull, who was the choice of party, but peremptorily declined. Still, what ts is, . Koerner’s opponent, DICK is a ver; Roan man, who ‘achieved some noto- riety, 1f not reputation, during the war. What weakens him is the popular belief that/he really wants the Senatorship, and is only running to keep the seat warm for General George L. Beveredge, the nominee for Lieutenant Governor. People woulan’t mind voting for Mr. Oglesby, but a vote practically for Mr. Beveredge is ae another tte So you see, for the Governorship the contest is likely to be ® red hot one—six and six and deal” in short. The remainder of the two tickets don’t deserve Bech. eek one being about as good and as bad a8 the other. his countrym Mr. Koerner’s THE QUEEREST PRATURB is the nomination of the famous Dan O'Hara, Clerk of the Cook County Court, by the liberals for Secre- tary of State. Mr. O'Hara is a Nereis fellow, wholly mnconnected with the Sons of Rechab, able to naturalize more new citizens in an hour than the next clerk can in a week, and a ripe, indeed, rank specimen of the outgrowth of the democratic pare. under the ward and caucus system. On bot! tickets and in both parties there are too many, far too many, of the old wheel horses, broken ‘down political hacks, who monopolize all office and all power, and make the defence of a good cause or the attempted reform of a bad one, a stench in the nostrils of honest men and an ob- Ject of derision to the public. I believe the results at present promise thus :— ILLINOIS IS STILL SAFE FOR GRANT as against Greeley, though local prejudices artfally fostered, the supineness of the party and the criminal carelessness of the leaders may reduce his majority 20,000 or 30,000, and the superaddition of a pas and a bold campai among the Germans just possibly lose the State. The liberal republi- cans stand the best chance of electing their Gov- ernor, and, on the a ene issue, will badly divide the Legislature. The regular State ticket I think is safe, bar the Governor, NEWSPAPERS AND “ORGANS” CONTRASTED. T opened this letter by alluding to the vigor and virulence with which the campaign is being con- ducted in the press. I cannot close it without a few remarks, which, though trite, are none the less true. The regular republican party has three newspapers advocating tts cause—the Inter-Ocean (oe Republican), the Journal and the Post. The liberal cause is backed by the 7rivune, If the three first-named papers were abolished the party would be no worse off and no better of, They mean well, but do badly, and will not influence one single vote which would not have been cast for their nomi- nees had the bya never existed, is because they defend everything the President, any of his Cabinet officers or any at- taché of the rnment does, however indefen- sible; applaud all that is said, however censurable ; justify everything, however unjustifiable. ‘This kort of food inay suit stomachs already educated up to it, but it will attract NO STRANGER TO THE BANQUET.

It has given to the President an intelligent support, while it has not shrunk from. inting out to him the F gered consequences of ill-judged courses and the necessity of reforming certain abuses. “It has, says a letter from a prominent Grant man at ria, which I was shown Yesterday, ‘been of more use to Grant than all his organs and hacks, and reminds one of Wordsworth travestied— A perfect Journal, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, to command.

WHO WILL OPPOSE GREELEY ? ce EE EE A Delawarean’s Estimate of the Bayards and Saulsburys. Colonel Yerger, the Du- ellist, Talks. How Hot Weather May Hurry The Delegates. Interviews with Somebodies and Nobodies. f Batsmmone, July 8, 1872. The Convention will meet on Tuesday next, and ascertain the amount of endurance possible within the temperature of Ford's theatre under a July sky. That day it will probably complete its organization, receive a speech or two, and adjourn to cool off. THE WEATHER FOR POLITIOS. Ifthe thermometer keeps its present notch there will be a good deal of carriage riding that afternoon to Druid Hill Park and out to the breweries of the Frederick road. There are few places of open air or alcove resort here, and the Carrollton lobbies and parlors are probably the coolest quarters in doors. Several of the hotels have piazzas and balconies, however, and where the lodging rooms are well up toward the sky line_a zephyr blows from the hills tothe harbor and back again, while, perhaps, on the level and }ow-lying streets, where the old hotels and the business town persists in sticking, the very cigar smoke has no choice of direction, and scatters in the dead air, People in this latitude prefer the heat of the bottoms to climbing mode- rate hills where the smallpox and the dog days cannot come. The Baltimoreans have several no- ble and imposing eminences in their city, but, nevertheless, they have planted their superb City Hall right under Charles street cliff, whence a good view is afforded of its extensive roofs, and they have set the Carrollton Hotel on the slope of an alley, as if they meant to launch it off into the harbor and had no intention of living in it. THE BIG HOTEL AND BALTIMORE. Tasked a learned haditué of the new Carrollton Hotel what the Baltimoreans meant by this extraor- dinary conduct ? “Well,” said he, “there you have got me. It shows, any way, that God made the country and Man made the town. This is a queer place. Do you know that they come before our door with car- pet-bags—these old Baltimore travellers—and look upand reckon and gaze several ways, and then say, ‘Yes, this must be the place. This is the old Fountain Inn, where I stopped fifty years ago.’ They want to find the green yard in the middig.of that displaced quadrangle, and the same cubby- holes, where they slept as close as a pack of letters ina post office box. They are just beginning to call this the Carrollton, and often forget it and ask absently for the Fountain Inn, The money to build this costly*pile was devoted to this spot, Lam told, because all the merchants sald, ‘If you abandon ‘the old site you will lose its custom; the spot in Baltimore makes the patronage; our enterprising customers are creatures of habit and disdain any comforts to which they are not accustomed.’ ‘By George, sir,” continued this metropolitan and philo- sophic gentleman, “they eat jowl and greens—the best gentlemen in the city. They don’t Ike jowl and greens, but it's a gentle subject of State pride. It will take years to educate many of them up to a Suet, Don't think exaggerate. This is @ vast vil- lage, and every rich man in it is only @ sort, of ‘vil- lage to himself within the larger village."’ NEW VIEWS OF BALTIMORE, “There is plenty of native intellect here,” said my informant, ‘‘but it has fallen into forms, rules of precedent and opinion, and has to be startled to awaken. Some of our clerks were a good deal dis- tressed In patience at first by the way old gentle- men and middle aged gentlemen and all leaned forward on the counter and asked questions for the sake of confab, and forgot a question ‘as soon as they asked it, and then grouped around, helpless in resources, for a new question when the previous foolish one should be answered, They would yawn, and get absent-minded, and lodk away into per- spective, and finally ran out by the drain on empti- ness. What Baltimore wants ia something to be suggested and presented to it. The city has been run by @ lot of old respectables who. think ,aloud. trace every note-shaving act they do toa high mor: principle and look’ around expecting the appjause of the lesser fellow citizen when they sneeze, They run thew railroads for canny pelf and call it the comprehensive plan of in- ternal development. With all that is said about respect for descent and accomplish- ments here, I incline tothe belief that wealth is worshipped in Baltimore city more than in the North or the extreme South. Mercantile descent is more esteemed here than intellectual or «moral descent, as you can see by the fact that sons and grandsons keep up the old signboards. and do busl- ness in the name of the graveyard.” GREBLEY AND THE MARYLAND MOKES. “What has this got'to do with nominating Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown?” asked your corre- spondent. “Well, I think that the nomination will move Maryland up twenty years and North Carolina fifty years by giving the bulk of people new subjects of consideration. They will be thrown out, of orbit, 80 to speak. Then politicians will be compelled to look as achieved facts upon things and_conatita- tional amendments that, in a maudlin way, they have heretofore deemed not binding. . The. entire South will suffer pretty much such! a change In mental and moral temperature ana climate as would happen to the earth’ if it would move its poles. Awakened by new acqul- escences they will put forth on the scale of product- iveness energies equal to those they expended in destruction during the four years of the wat. Icon- fess,” continued my informant, ‘that I almost tear that Greeley will not be nominated here because the moral results would be so stupendous. It is not Greeley ; It is the peeping over the rim to see what is there from the people underneath that makes all the revolution. But, after all, the Southern people themselves had the sagacity todo thia thing. To the Blairs, to the younger Confederate soldiers all over the South, and particularly to the Southern journalists, many of whom were Confederate sol- diers, this thing isdue. Had the democratic pa-ty not acceded to this movement the bone and sinew of the South would have joined tne republican party after Grant's second election and revolutionized it from within, The regular party Is doomed any Way— now, probably; four years hence, certainty. This country oscillates in government backward and forward and between federalism and anti federal: ism, Federalism has had its period d rights are now in order to correct the cen- tralism of the war.” 1 “They say Greeley {sa centralizationist.

HOW LONG WILL I Last? There is some little fear in Baltimore that the Convention will get to work and transact its busi- ness with such speed that the delegates will not re- main very long and properly spend their money; but with proper hospitality and sufficient out-of. door stump meetings the crowd may be length- ened out over four or five A considerable number of delegates are expected next Saturday night, and rsons with missions, who have some idea of capturing the Convention for side pune will come much earlier, lobbies in Washington are much disappointed at the propagnity that none of their schemes can be put into the democratic platform—such, for example, as the refunding of the cotton tax, and the vast schemes for the internal improvements, 60 called, which have been projected in Georgia and else- where, The acceptance of the Cincinnati p.atform and Greeley’s reproduction of it will drive to the wall all these personal matters; for, as one re- marked at the Maryland Club, ithey tave already said all they could against the Cine! ti platform in the administration papers, and if over again they will have noth! todo but to go back and prin all their editorials a second time,’? “Besides,” said this critic, “they own platform at Philadelphia a parap! the Cincinnati platform, and therefore dare not attack. it.” A half dozen independent persons, auch as ot up the Fifth Avenue Conference, may be on and, provided their audacity holds out so long, aud three or four of the juveniles are expected in the middle of the week, ‘ , THE BALTIMORE GERMANS.
