Show AT CINCINNATI. The first day's proceedings of the Cincinnati convention, which arc Liven iu full in tho Herald this morning, are not of exciting interest. The permanent organization of the convention has been completed, and tho committee on credentials and resolutions will probably report this morning, after which the balloting will commence. As the contenting delegations are c 51 fined to Alabama and Florida.no serious delay is expected ex-pected in getting ready for the actual business of the convention. If the utterances of tlie speaUers who addressed ad-dressed the a.-sombliigo on the first day arc to be regarded as indicative of the sentiments of a majority of the delegates the platform will take decided de-cided ground in favor of the early resumption of specie payments, per-hnn per-hnn m.-vmtainine the 1S79 resump tion act. Another strong bid will be made for tho southern negro vote; und bunc-imba civil reform resolutions resolu-tions will be passed. I In faco of the convention, press speculations in regard to the probable result have diminished in a great degree, de-gree, but our latest dispatches will givo the latest indications as to the standing of tlie several candidates. It is probable that the Hkrald will be ablo to announce the name of the lui ky or unlucky republican who is to bear the standard of his party in thia Centennial year. We still be-lievo be-lievo that it will not be James O. j lllaine, unless tho common faense of the party has become exhausted. |
