Was IL Right to Defeat Mr. Greeley by
Bribery at Saratoga

MT GREELEY family touches mon the
delicate but momentous topic OF the bribely
by which his nomination was dc ieatcd in the
Saratoga Convention. He says in his paror
of yesterday that Mr.. FESToN was out
voted in the preliminary organization by M5
aid Of men nto had prottssd to be H.,
friends" That is most trIc. And the ques
ton is, how the men who had profcssci to
be his friends, and Mr.. GREELEY's friends
also" because as the 7rJuAs says, they
believed Mr.. G.'s nomination the strongest
that could he mnde"-came TO tura rou ld
aIid Outvoto the Senator and break down Mr.
GREELEY
At n meeting of the Republican Assncia-
ton Of tho Sixteenth Assembly District, held
IN this city on Tuesday evening Col BEENY
declared that HORACE GREELEY had been
sold ont in the Convention by Mr. LUsI aud
his clique" And another member of the As
sociation loudly avsrred that there was
more damning corruption in the Saratoga
Convention than had ever disgraced Tan
many Hall" Wo Gro also informed by n
prominent Democratic politician, who is
every way impartial in this contest, that at
midnight on the evening teforc the meeting
OF the Convention, Mr. GREELEY had a ma
jority OF fully forty votes but that the next
morning they Lad all been taken from him
somc by promises, bu; many by the payment
Of actual cash. There ie also other evidence
which we presume can be produced, ali 10
Che same purport. There can he no doubt that
Ntie men who had profersed to bo friends &"
OF Mr. GREELEY were bought up. bribcd to
vote against him.
What, then, is Mr., GREELEY's opinion OF
bribetakingy Does he regard it as less or
more wicked when it is aptlicd to nulliy y
his own political ambition than il ~ when
applied TO swindle the stockholders of a IN ].
way company out of two millions and three
quarters of dollarsH Is he prepared to sus
tain candidate who defeated him by gross
bribery, or will he go with us for the purif.
cation of the Republican party by the With.
