Strike Among Democrats.

Nearly every exchange we receive
contains the names of one or more
prominent Democrats who refuse to
support the Gray back Seymour ticket,
and are working for the election of
GRANT and CoLFAx. Among them
We notice the following:
Gen. J. J. Guppy, of Porta ge, in
this State, and formerly Democratic
nominee for Congress from that dis
trlct.
Gen. David O. Wilson of Dubuque,
Iowa-a lifelong and influential Dem
ocrat.
Hon. John 5. Carlisle, of Baltimore
formerly U. S. Senator from West
Virginia
2. II. Sibley, member of the Cal
itornia Democratic State Convention.
Hon. I. W. Green, a prominent
Democrat of indianapolis, Indiana.
Judge Studdiford, of Indisna.
Gen. j. B. Sweetzer, of Pittsburg,
Pa.-two years ago Democratic nom
inee for Congress.
Said well-known lawyer in ST.
Louis the other day | have been a
Democrat, but | cannet vote for SEY-
HoUR. ! will not vote to surrender
everything we fought for. IF | can
do any good l viii take the stump for
GRANT & CoLFAx.n
The very Democratic Findicator, Of
St. Joseph, Mo, pronounces Mr.. SEY-
MoUR "the most magnificent of all
humbugs," and Is preparing to bolt
him as such
Mr.. BELFoY, publisher of the Dem
ocratic organ at Minneapolis, Mimi,
has bolted Tammany, sold out his con
Germ and established Republican
! newspaper.
The stirring appeals of the Zanes-
Vile (Ohio) Germania, since it repudi-
ated and declared for GRANT and Col
FAX, are having great influence upon
the Western Teutons, and the Steu-
benville Herald says: The German
Democrats of Ohio are abandoning
that party by thousands, and enroll
ing among the friends of GRANT and
peace.
The Lawrence (Pen.) Journal, pub
llshed 1t Newcastle, says: The gray
back nomination has gained 200 votes
for the Republican party in Lawrence
county, and so 1t is all over the State.
The Republican vote in Pennsylvania
will be increased by 5O,OO0in the com
ing election"
\ gentleman, writing from the
enterior of New York, SAYS: Il find
/ here a number of old Democrat going
for GRANT, though they voted for Nc
/ CLELLAN in 1864 SEYMOUR does not
/ please the people here, and BLAIR is
still worse
| The Reading (Pa.) Dispatch says the
/ Democrats in Berks county won't rally
/ for SEYMOUR. On several occasions
and IN different parts of Berks, they
have tried to form clubs for the cam
| paign, but IN every case the attempt
has proved futile. The sturdy farm
ers who have their thousands invested
| in government securities will not &C
the reputation ticket. When the
/ GIbralter of Democracy IN Pennsylva
MIA wont rally, 1t Is apparent SEY
MoUR will have poorer showing in
November than MCCLELLAN had il
/ 1864
