The I'D Ecnhip.

There is too much history connected
With the war wsged upon Hon. Sher-
man Page to admit of . general ventiIa.
ton Of the facts in . single newspaper
Article. Lis enemies are even digging
into his private character like jsckaIs
into grave, with hope Of doing him
an injury.
There grew up and aourished no
toriously corrupt ring at Austin, Mower
county, some time ago, which brought
disgrace upon the Republican party OF
that county. Tho Austin Register was
the organ Of this corrupt ring aud grew
fat on the profits Of the Austin post
Office and its share of the public spells.
y hen there was no longer doubt
about the corruption Of this ring, the
people began to adopt measures to re-
iieye themselves. Sherman Page took
an active part, leading part in disper-
sing the clique and bringing about re-
form. The Register, for the course it
had pursued, was deprived Of its post
office, and the people voted its corrupt
and oppressive supporters out Of office,
leaving it q tit subject for the Demo
cratic ranks, in which i: now traios.
The fact that this ref run was brought
about by Republicans is not only u
credit to our party, but shows more
plainly why the master spirits of the
reform movement are 50 intensely o.
jcctionablc to tho Register and the old
court house clique.
The origin Of the opposition to Mr..
Page at Spring Valley IS not difficult
to discover and although it is Of no
earthly conscquence-beins simply the
opposition Of one Hutchinson, editor Of
the Progress, and one alone-it may be
we'll to examine matters little. Hutch
inson is u relative Of Davidson the
routed postmaster and ring editor OF
the Austin Register, and was brought
I'D in the Register Office. The ties OF
consanguinity have powerful effect
upon this great MUD, which explains
wlv one man at Spring Valley opposes

Greeley ~ He Was.

Five days after the inaugu ration as
President Of the Confederate States, Of
that distinguished citizen who was sub
sequenty sailed with such alacrity by
Mr.. Greeley, tho latter in the Tribune
Of February %, 1861 spoke thus:
We have repeatedly said. and we once more
insist that tho great principle embodied BY
JEyFERsox in tho Declaration Of American
Independence. that Governments derive their
just power. from the consent Of the governed,
is sound aud Just and that If the slave States,
the cotton States, or the GuIf States only choose
to form An independent nation, th.y hure elenr
and moral right to do 20: We have said, and
still maiutaip, that provided the Cotton States
have fully and definitely made up their
niods to 20 by themselves, there Is no need
ojGyh,iny about il ; for they have only to exer-
else reasonable patience, and they will be let
of in peace and good will. WAss<rey ii.hnA

A ,noa aod even philosophers, not

appear prcposterous to the majority Of
mankind, so our Statesman continued to
repeat his previous declarations In
the Tribune Of September 26, 1862, in
letter to H. McChesncy, Of Troy, N.
Y, MIR. Greeley says:
"But I shaN i"sist that, If it had been prov

Greeley Coosults the Dictionary.
In his letter Of acceptance Of the
Baltimore nomination, Mr.. Greeley

Greeley CoosW1ts The Dictionary
In his letter Of acceptance Of the
Baltimore nomination, Mr.. Greeley
says:
"0.xrLsuxu -Four Platform, which 10
also uins, assure, me that Democracy 10 not
henccfor.h to stand for one thing and Repub.
lieanism for another, but these tsrus ore to
mean in politics - they have always meant
in the Dictionary, substantially enc and the
same thing, namely, elua: tights regardless
Of creed, or cline or color"
The philosopher has made wonder
full discovery. Democracy and Re-
DubNcan,sm means one and the same
thing in tie dictionary" How very
.trange that Greeley should have over
hooked so important fact for the last
sixteen years: Has he not before, d.
ring all that period, consulted the great
.le6ner? Have not the terms always
been synonymous in the dictionary ?
Webster says -" Democrat is one who
z.1voeatcs or defends democracy. a
.4,.puJl.cun. lie also says Republic
can is g one who fsvors or prefers re-
publican government, democrat" and
yet Mr.. Greeley, now for the FIRST time
in his life discovers the similarity. He
has hated the very name democra-
.cy; lie has denounced it as but little
better than in league wish tho devil !;
has called its followers horsethieves,
:fteebooters, conspiritors, liars, traitors,
agents paid with British gold, rioters,
the very dress Of society, the scum Of
the earth, and all other expressive cpl
thcts in the vocabulary. But he didn't
know that Democrat meant the same
thing IS Republican in the dictionary
Strange How suddenly the light must
have burst upon him! He is made a
candidate by the Democratic party.
His vanity is excited; his ambition
aroused. The shadow Of James b.
chanan falls upon him his benevolent
heart melts under the influence Of Dem
ocratic affection; he sees away down
through the past, and in the light Of
the future, discovers that he has always
been wrong; he sinks upon the bosom
1T the Democratic Savior and prays
for light; for strength to live down
the great wrong which he has done to
The purest and best of all parties.
Look in the dictionary, o! Mr.. Gree.
ley, whispers the spirit Of Tammany
He looks! and the truth dawns upon
him. He has been under thick cloud
all his life. He has been fighting de-
n,ocracy because he thought it some-
thing different from Republicauism.-
But the dictionary say. it means the
same, and since the Democrats has
nominated Greeley for President,
Of course there can be no
mistake. Mr.. Greeley's confession to
the Democracy makes him consistent
with the dictionary. But dictionaries
don't vote. The people long ago de-
fined democracy for themselves; they
know what it means, and they will de-
fnc it for MI. Greeley, at the coming
election.

Financial Facts.

Much has been said about the cor.
ruption Of the Republican administra-
ton. Words are Cheap and may DO
made to servo very bad purpose, but
figures arc stern things, and cannot be
made to deceive. We have therefore
takon the pains to prepare from official
documents, the following statement, and
We ask for it candid and critical cx-
animation.
The amount Of debt, including &C
crued interest, and less cash in the
Treasury on tho FIRST Of March, 1869,
was about twenty-five hundred millions
of dollars. On the LIST Of July, 1872,
it was twenty-cne hundred and ninety.
one millions. The reduction during
the three years and four months Of
Grants administration was three hum
dred and thirty four millions; equiva-
lieut. to eight millions three hundred and
forty-nine thousand dollars per month,
or ono hundred millions per annum.-
So MUCH HAS BEEN PAID.
The monthly charge for interest on
the public debt, on the first Of March,
1869, was ten millions Eve hundred and
thirty two thousand five hundred sixty
TWO dollars and fifty cents. On the
first Of Jaly, 1872, it was eight aud
two thirds millions OK a reduction Of
monthly chargs for interest on the pub
lie debt, one million eight hundred six
ty.six thousand seven hundred fifty sew
en- dollars twenty-five cents. Making
an annual permanent reduction Of the
annual interest charge Of twenty-five
millions four hundred ore thousand
eighty seven dollars
This reduction Of the public debt
aud consequent saving Of annual inter-
est was effected by careful and econ
omic administration, and besides this,
the government reduced revenues, Gus
toms and internal taxes to the amount
Of one hundred thirty-onc millions OF
dollars. With this showing, which no
one can crlticise, it is not entirely clear
that the finances Of the country have
been badly managed.
