HORACE GREELEY.
Let the Democratic hrgs wave fol
Horace
One Southern Democratic paper tho
Georgia COnstitutiOnalist, is able tC
pick out from its exchange list one
hundred and fourteen Democratic pa
pers that refuse to support Greeley
and these papers represent the con
stituency rhat must support Greeley
unanimously, or there is no show foI
his election.
But one German paper in the great
city of New York advocates the clcc.
tion of Horace Greeley and it has but
little influence, having been the or,
gan of the Tweed ring. All over the
country the German journals are with
but few exceptions, earnestly sup
porting Grant and Wilson.
This is the way the New York
I-n,lJ D+atao thn ,cero 1GI+ a., , MOI,
test between Greeley, with a Demo
cratic Cabin:t Congress and State
governments, and Grant, with a Re.
publican Cabinet, Congress, and
State governments.
4 letter from Morgantown, w. Va,
says: There is not a Greeley Re.
publican in our county. The Demo.
Gratis are generally for Greeley, but
some of them say they will vote for
Grant, and large number will alb
stain from voting for any one.
There is no longer any doubt that
for every Republican that votes for
Buckalew, two Democrats will vote
for Hartranft. The reason for this is,
that there is no longer Democratic
party, and as Democrats have 10 or
ganization, the Independent men who
preferred its principles, will control
themselves, and not submit to being
bartered away to satisfy corrupt
leaders.
The Chicago Post saws: "Thc ur-
chin who sat on q rock and bobbed
for whales had about as good chance
of bagging his game as the Liberals
have of taking in the old Democrat
ic party. When the Bourbon anacon-
da and the Greeley squirrel join in
friendly rivalry to see which can
swallow the other, there can be little
doubt Of the result, and the specta-
tors who sympathize with bunny had
better Withdraw"
Last thursday night Grant DEM
ocratic Campaign Club was organized
in Chicago with starting membership
fifty old-line Democrats, who pledgs
themselves to support General Grant
in preference to any other candidate
for the presidency" What does the
Greeley organ of Pittsburg think of
thaty These men cannot be "read
out the party" because there is no
Democratic party any more, "poor
soul peace be to its ashes" and its
members are free to vote for whom
they please.
Some Of our Democratic cotempo-
raries refuse to hoist the Greeley flag.
Misery loves company and the editor
of the Bridgeport Comm Farmer
ought to have the sympathy of his
Pennsylvania friends, for he says,
1--WE perform to-day the most disa-
greeable and distastcful act of our
whole life in placing at our mast
head the name OfHorace Greeley and
b. Gratz Brown as the candidates OF
the Democratic party for President
and Vice President of the United
States
The Je6ersonian Democrat, a
handsome quarto weekly printed at
Louisville, is the organ of the straight
out Democracy who are to meet in
National Convention in Kentucky on
the third of September, and nomin-
ate candidates in opposition to Gree
ley and Brown. The Democrat says
"the movement means an Organiza-
ton of Jefrersonian Democrats and
Free-Traders upon a scientifically de-
fined creed Of Democratic Republican,
ism, and the nomination of q Presi-
dental ticket, composed of represen-
tative Democrats, such as Charles
O'COnOr, of New York, and Charles
Recmclin, ofOhio."
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette relates that a dealer in cattle
who visited good German farmer
day or two ago was asked the news,
and replied that the Baltimore Con-
vention was about all. Being told
further in regard to that, the farmer
exclaimed: "Mr. Hughes, that man
has been all the while black
Republican, and make de New York
Tribune. Ven you tells me de Dem
ocrat parry makes him for President,
you bees liar and you no buys my
cattle. Ven you lies dat way, you
cheats me, and i no sells him to you.
OF oil the political gulps ever made
by any party in this country, this
swallowing of Greeley and Brown
and enporsing platform essentially
in its professions is the
greatest humbug we have ever seen.
The leaders may esteem Democratic
voters as so many cattle, to be driv-
m where the owners list, but we are
If opinion that thousands of Demo-
ratio voters in this State will prefer
genuine Republicanism under Grant
% bogus article under Greeley, who
$ neither Ssh, flesh, nor fowl.
