An exchange believes that the large
Democratic majority in Georgia was Sc
cured by keeping Greeley out Of that
State during his recent swing
Mr.. Greeley boosted in one of his
speeches, "Ohio is with us" Indiana will

is decided that the Sage is not wanted as
President. People in want of prophet
might try him.
The New York Tribune, commenting
upon the Pennsylvania election, exclaims ::
4 "And now we are in the open field !" The
man who fell out of third story window
was at first confused. "but the moment"
he said, 81 struck the sidewalk, knew
where was"
! It is now incumbent on the remarkable
paper which wasn't TO be an "organ" and
| is now "in the open field" to summon its
forces aHd show u the fallsey Of ths cid
political saw. Gas gees Pennsylvania so
goes the Union PHRASE it not unfre-
quently quoted in the days before It's fall
The Pittsburg Commercial says: "Tti is
fact Of no little significance that General
Hartranft carried his swn county, against
an opposition majority of about sou that
| Buckalsw ran behind his ticket in his
county; while Lancaster, the home of
Billingfelt, gave Hartranft 5000 majority,
and Bellefonte, the home of Curtin, gave
.Hartranft an increased majority"
Mr.. Gratz Brown, whose name has be-
cone familiar in connection with Mr.
Nast's pictures of Mr.. Greeley, and who
resides, We believe, somewhere in Miss0u-
ri mads a remark q few days since that
Grant might possibly carry three States
Having already carried Maine, Vermont,
North Carolina, Oregea, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, New Hampshire
and Connecticut, will Mr.. Brown be good
enough to tell Us what other States are
necessary to make up Grants thee.
AS the result goes says the Nation, we
have enc more proof Of the fact which
this campaiga has abundantly proved by
many instances, that no matter how great
war governor you may be, or how high
toned Senator, or how powerful an or
| gan, it is mainly as the governor and SEN
ator and organ OF your party, and not Of
yourself, that You are really influential.
Mr. Curtin, for example, and Mr. Forney
are notable exemplifcations of this truth,
and IN month every State in the Union
will be full of similar illustrations.
Liberal organs may learn decency from
the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer (Greeley,)
which says: "The private life OF the Pres
ident has been very rudelJ assailed. We
have abstained from any auch beastly as
saults; for we have too high respect for
the office, and we are too good an Ameri
can to believe the American people would
| have such man as he has been represent
ed in certain quarters to be in that high
position. The Southern people have po-
litical and not personal objections to Gen.
Grant"
Soliloquy of the Springfield Republican
In view of the situation: Zone of its in
evitable effects will be to cause general
surge of the floating vote, the walters on
events, toward Grant. The chances are
that the Liberals will not exert themselves
effectually to arrest this movement. A
certain percentage of them will undoubt-
edIy take the short road out by deserving,
bag and baggage, to the Administration
camp. Of the renal nder, it is to be feared
that too many will go into action with the
faint heart which invites the defeat it ec
poets. t...#
The Philadelphia Eoening Bulletin says
of the PENNSYLVANIA election: "We have
helped to win this great victory for Hart
ranft and Grant, and we have the right
to say now and here. We want no help
| in November from the men who deserted
us in October We protest in the name
of the workingmen of the Republican
party, in advance, against any recognition
of John w. Forney or Governor Curtin as
advocates of President Grant in the re.
naming campaign. They would have
beaten him, yesterday, if they could. We
do not want their services now. .e
Before he became Democratic candi-
date, Mr.. Greeley wrote: We have had
some experience of the Southern soldier
in the regular service of the army and
navy, and should feel obliged to describe.
him as a person too avaricious to resign, |
and too cowardly to fight person who
acts as spy in his own camp;who unlocks
the gates of his country's fortresses to his
country's foes, and then, having made all
the mischief his little head can plan or
his weak hands execute, skulks away and
hides among his peers in meanness."
Mr.. Greeley's recent eectioneering tour,
it will be borne in mind extended through !
the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, into
Indiana,and back through the same States
His track is marked by large Republican
gains. The two States which saw most of
him have gone Republican by large ma
jorities, and Indiana is in doubt to-day
only because the people had but little op-
