says the Richmond Dispatch, he camo out il
, ah article which drcNdtully alarmed them
ana wo thought il would probably hc hi,
last appeal to their fears. Bu! he is again
work upon them. They must be aroused
not only to asense of the Importance Of th
Impending election, but 10 u conviction o
the fact that nothing but hard work will Sc
euro the election Of Grant. OF those whc
say That Grant cannot be beaten by Soy
mo"r, Greeley says:
'lf we do not misrcal the signs, thew
arc likely to have their confidence ruLely
shocked within the next six weeks. For
while the friends Of General Grant ar,
abundantly able to secure his election b,
proper effort, IL is grave mistake to ina
gine that he can or will be elected without
such effort"
This is ono way Of acknowledging That
there is some probability ll,a, The Demo
Gratis will succeed ut the October clcctious.
Again, Greeley says:
"But Let him [Grantl poll ever 80 many,
he will, nevertheless, be defeated by mon
slrous frauds, unless there be scasonably
effected thorough organization of his sup.
'portcrs."
Again:
"We speak frankly for the crisis is very
grave, and the necessity fer action urgent.
We can certainly elect Grant and Colfax il
We can keep down illegal voting throughou,
the Union TO one per cent. of the total we
shall be beaten if it shall DC swcllcd TO five
per cent. or over"
. These confessions Of danger to the Rad
cal faction arc the most hopeful signs of
the times that We have seen. OF course the
rrctcnsc TINT the Democrats will resort to
fraud is hypocritical way of accounting
for reasonable fears Of defeat. For n Rad
cal to talk of the frauds or rascality of any
other than his own corrupt party is the
height of imrudcncc.
Wc consider Grcclrys alarm rs n good
offset TO the result in Vermont.
