Grand Army for the past few days,
and it has terribly berated it for resolv-
ing to stand by comrade and Union
soldier, Captain DARLING. MILLER
and DARLING are the only candi-
ds3a IF the members of that organ
ization favored MILLER, would we
hear of any abuse from that quarter?
We judge nots The, abuse exists, and
the cause of it is plain.
The third statement that MILLER
was during the war" apeace7as7any-
price DeAocrats - il boldly deneaneed
as falsehood;" and the denial is
followed by the assertion that he oc-
cupied the same ground as the g1'eat
mass of Democratsr' Precisely so
Just the same ground as the Chicago
Convention, which declared " the war
failure and Idenanded Ean SIM
mediate cessation of hostilities;" just
the, same ground as NIRLAoK. who
opposed the draft, the cab for 8 three
hundred thousand MORE and whose
platform in 1864 was not another
man or dollar for the abolition war;"
just the same ground as WHITTLEsEY,
who denounced the National curren-
cy, and declared that " it would take
a hat-full to buy a breakfast just
the same ground as MCBRIDE and the
rest of the midnight plotters of sedi-
ton at home. Does the Courier wish
US to follow up the citations, and
ace Mr.. MILLER upon the Demo-
cratic platform of 1863 and 1864. We
apprehend Mr.. MILLER will ask that
the less said about the Democracy of
war times, the better for his sheriff
atty prospects.
The Courier winds up with charg-
ing the JOURNAL and the Republican
party with hypocrisy in their devotion
to the interests Of the soldiers, and
brings up as its best card the case of
Mr. GRESHAM in ethe last city cleo
ton, in his race against Mr.. McGRrFF.
The circumstances of that case are
we'll understood by the soldiers. In
Difference to Mr.. McGRIFF's acknowl-
ed fitness for his Office, and the rep
resentation> of the Council and city
officials that it was important tore
tain him forthe c1rrentsyear.- it was
understood by the soldiers that he
should be conceded the race, and
therefore no opposition was madee-to
him. Just on the'eve Of the election
Mr.. GRESHAM was taken, up by the
Democrats but most shamefdlly
abandoned by them at the
polls. as MCGRIFF's majority was
over one thousand. Their only
purpose was to use him to
distract the Union vote; failing in
this, they abandoned him. All the
other city offices ofvalue were given
to soldiers. And the nomination for
Sheriff is rendered Captain DARLING,
q soldier. just as all over the First
District the Republican candidates
are old soldiers The Democrats Eof

one OF the best offices in the country
to "a McCLELLAN-NIBLAcK,WHIT,

The contest is between - stay-at-

They had to submit to the one in
1854, and We are, nQtuaware that they
have changed much. since PeMERoY,

or any other Democratic newspaper,
