Show THE CINCINNATI NOMINEES. Tlic 'luentioQ of the hour h, who will be the nominees of the Cincinnati convention for President and vice-Presideot? vice-Presideot? The fact has forced itself upon the public that the liberal It.-pub-i. lican movement to-day holds in its " Imndd the next Presidental election, V il,ouh before another week paiuui it mav throw that power recklessly away, " by ao uuwLso policy in the convention L or by making imprudent nouiinationa. The dispatches forwarded by the As-1 eoeiatcd l'rcus over the Western Union telegraph linen, have ignored the im portance of this movemcDt, and the public has been measurably kept in the dark with refiard to it, so far as infor mation was furnished from that source. '.; lut exchanges which reach us from all ' parts of tho country, give a very differ- i cnt showing. U is not too much to. ' say that if tho Democracy would retire .'" from tho contest altogether, in the campaign now opened, the liberal Rc-: Rc-: , publicans would stand a fair chance of ' mi electing their nominees, so rapidly lias tho movement spread, and so numer-1 numer-1 oua aro tho inllucntial Republican ; names that have endorsed it. " But if the convention which meets '. on Wednesday should nominate men ,." repugnant to the Democracy as a party, tho Demoorats will hold their conven-" conven-" tion and may nominate a ticket equally repugnant to liberal Republicans, while the latter, in that event, would in large numbers support the regular party nominees sooner than see the Democratic Demo-cratic party again in power. Should tho convention make a wiftc selection for candidates men upon whom the inverse auu uiao.-w ,,v.--merits oeuld fuse the results of tho election could bo easily forecast. Just , . r , . v ii i n-:, n-:, Brown make tho strongest ticket in tho estimation of many. The tirst-I tirst-I - named is a statesman of tried worth, i " and there hangs around him an odor of : ; , respectability which the country will . acknowledge while it reveres the name -; he bears. Uov. Brown, of Missouri, is a '.I Republican, long idontined with the party, but who has made himself a re- .: putatiou by advocating liberal mca-' mca-' .'; surcs looking to the healing up of still ' ,'. smarting national wounds, and the recognition re-cognition of all sections of the Union ; as partd of a great and undivided whole. That judge Trumbull and govenor Palmer, of Illinois, will also be . , r conspicuously before tho convention is 1 without a doubt, yet Adams and Brown loom up most prominently, and ' ; should they be nominated the pros- ' ieotis that thoy will be the choice of the country in November next. fastened upon Cincinnati for the next ' live or six days, until tho deliberations . of tho convention have terminated. . .- when prognostications can be more frcdy indulged in, and with a better ; hope of speculating as to tho final ro- ' t suits. A Little Sense Needed. There are some men around this region who should bo tapped for the simples. U. S. attorney Bates telegraphed marshal 1 Patrick last week that the prisoners in the marshal's charge were illegally held, and advising him to apply imme- 'st diatcly to Strickland or Hawley for their release in other words, to have ' them judicially released by due action of tho court. Patrick was guilty of ' - the quintessence of sublimated absurd ity in telegraphing to attorney-general Williams that he had been instructed by Bates to release the prisoners, and asking what he should do. Williams replied that they could only be discharged dis-charged by judge or court, on habeas i corpus or otherwise, a fact which any man with the simplest knowledge of of law should know, and the very thing that attorney Bates had telegraphed. ' This matter might have passed along unnoticed had not boihc "friends" of Patrick's Heaven save everybody from such friends! undertook to show how careful he had been to diligently do his duty, and how ultra last Bates had been in telegraphing tele-graphing as he did to his deputy High and to Patrick. Mr. High as deputy U. S. attorney is a creation of Mr. Bates, and his instructions must corue from that official. So, also, Mr. Bates is the proper authority to instruct in-struct marshal Patrick in the matter; : aud tho t'aot that attorney -general Williams gave instructions of precisely the samo character, though not saying . when they should be carried into ef fect, proves that the attorney-general i and Mr. Bates perfectly understood r each other. |
