Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-08-22
CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Four of the principal Democratic
papers of Oregon have declared
against Greeley.
Delegates are being chosen to the
Louisville Convention throughout
an the States. A formidable move
ment is predicted by many.
The colored people of Cincinnati,
in mass convention Thursday night,
resolved against Summers advice to
go over to the Democracy.
Horace Greeley goes about proph-
esying as to the States that will vote
for him. He is not known to have
made any bets yet
In twenty-five counties of Ken
tucky the Republicans gained over
two thousand in the recent county
elections. The returns show gains
everywhere.
Horace Greeley is now anxiously
watching the gathering of the po-
litical clouds. His hope, he says,
lies in the South, and yet it is there
that the clouds are thickest.
George Law repudiates Greeley's
lpretensions. He said recently: 81
have about a million and a half in
United States bonds, and if Mr..
Greeley should be elected, would
sell them out immediately"
A few straight-out Democrats had
convention at Wayne, Michigan,
Friday, and nominated full county
ticket, Lester R. Brown for Congress,
and selected delegates to the Louis
vile Convention.
The President, in conversation
the other day, effectually disposed
of some of the charges which Mr..
Sumner had made against him, and
especially the one in relation to
Fred Douglass.
VIM. H. Kemble, of the Republi-
can National Executive Committee,
stated in New York that letter had
been received in Philadelphia from
Gov. Curtin, announcing his inten-
ton of returning in September and
stumping the State of Pennsylvania
for Grant.
Garnett and Saunders, the colored
orators, had discussion at Cooper
Institute, New York. Mr.. Garnett
efectually squelched his Greeleyite
adversary, who, failing in argument,
got mad, and threatened to ''put a
head on Mr. Garnett." The meet
ing broke up in great uproar.
The Philadelphia Press says:
''Pennsylvania Republicans cling to
Grant, irrespective of all factions.
Her devotion TO him is something
like her devotion to Jackson. More
solid Democrats prefer Grant to
Greeley, in this State, we believe,
than in any other"
After Horace Greeley is defeated
in this election for President, the
Chicago IrTbuue proposes to make
him President of the Chicago Is'ib-
une Company. In no other way can
we explain its remarks, in its Tues
day issue, that "our (its) future
president spoke briefly to large
crowd" etc.
Horace Greeley in 1866 called the
Irish and German emigrants scar
pet baggers from Cork, Limerick and
Saur- -Krautenthal," and that they
were ''as deficient in mental and
moral cultivation as in property"
Horace is evidently Know Moth
ing at heart. M
The important points seem to be
settled by the August elections thus
far. The colored voters cannot be
seduced from their support of the
party that gave them freedom and
citizenship; and the old Democrats
cannot be relied upon for the candi-
date that has no recommendation
for them except that he opposes
Grant.
Mr.. Greeley won't show the cold
shoulder to his Democratic friends
if they help him into office. He
asks, would it be hospitable to in
vite ones neighbors to raise house
and then kick them out when the
work is done? This is a happy way
of putting it, but the probabilities
at present indicate that Horatian
hospitality is not likely to be put to
the test.
The New York Herald says of
the colored meeting at Cooper In
stitute, on Thursday night, that
Saunders, the negro Democrat, met
with scant comfort and no courtesy,
but was called liar, a traitor and
Judasite; and it is evident, from the
proceedings, that Greeley will en-
counter the opposition of the entire
colored vote in the State of New
York. . r....-
The Buckeye State says that in
Middleton tp., Columbiana county,
but one Republican who voted for
Gen. Grant in 1868 now proposes to
vote for Horace Greeley, while a
large number of Democrats declare
they will not support the Democratic
nominee. In Elkrun and Madison
townships our correspondent in
forms us not one Republican will
vote for Horace Greeley.
Horace Greeley, it has been proven
beyond doubt, gave Seymour and
the Democratic leaders assurance
