The Ku-Ezlux Organization.

There are men, writer's and speak
ers, in the Greeley interest who are
still bold enough to criticise the
action of the President in the en-
forcement of the laws against the
Southernconspiracy, commonly term
ed the Ku-Klux. Let the Demo-
cratic majority Of the investigating
committee testify as to their knowl-
edge of the existence and character
of this murderous organization
They say
awhile we do not intend to deny
that bodies of disguised men have in
several of the States of the South
been guilty of the most fiagrant
crimes, crimes which we neither
seek to palliate nor excuse, for the
commission of which the wrong
doers should, when ascertained and
duly convicted, suffer speedy and
cOndign punishment, we deny Shat
these men have any general organi-
zation or any political significance"

Business Men against Greeley.

The business men of the country,
bankers, lawyers, merchants, manufac-
turers, and all others who are interested
in a sound financial policy are distrust-
full of Horace Greeley. They know his
whimsical notions on finance, and feel
that if they are once reduced to practice,
serious arrangement of business must
follow. Hence their desire, as a class,
to see him defeated. They are satisfied
with General Grants policy. 1t has
brought prosperity and a feeling of Sc
curity to the country. 1t has brought
gold down to S1.12; increased the value
of our securities at home and abroad
made our credit in the markets of the
world equal to any nation in Europe;
it has developed our national resources
to a wonderful degree; encouraged in
ternal improvements reduced the debt
over 1885, 900, 900, and removed the bur-
dens of the people by lowering taxation
more than one-half For these SUBJ
stantial results they are in favor of
General Grants reelection, and will
lend their influence to secure his tri-
umph in November next.

In a very disreputahle manner
the Republicans of the District are
going sneaking among Democratic
soldiers, and insinuating that Mr..
Neal is opposed to giving them d
land warrant and. that Mr.. Wilson
favOrs it, and will vote for a propO
sitiOn of that kind. Several Dem
ocratic soldiers in Chillicothe state
to us that they have been approached
in this manner Advertiser.
These assertions are as reckless as
they are untrue. The Democratic
soldiers themselves are the persons
that first broached this matter to
Mr.. Neal, and Democratic soldiers
were the persons that he plainly
told he would have nothing to do
with it, and would not commit
himself to any such measure. Do
you doubt this, Mr.. Advertiser ?
Would you like to see the affidavits
of some of those Democratic SOL
diers to that effect? Do you not
know that Mr.. Neal, despite his
card, does not favor the giving of
land warrants to "each and every
soldier" and the widows and orphans
of deceased soldiers ?-TChil. Gaz.

Select Miscellany.
TIE DOLLY WARDEN MAN.

The campaign now is opening, we hear it in the
street,
We hear it from each beer saloon, where greedy
losfers meet
We hear it talked of loudly by The dolly Warden
clan;
For the latest style for President is dolly VAR
den" man.
We see it in the papers how Horace sure will win,
For ell the Southern Democrats are going to vote
rim in;
he such a politician, they rather like the plan,
For who'll make snch President as the "Dolly
Warden" man?
The wise ones bet their money, and say that Grant
is beat,
For the Baltimore Convention has made the thing
completes
And Horace feels eated at the work ing of his plan
Por who could bail jeff Davis like the "Dony Var
den'' man?
What wOndrous things will happen when fashion
rules the day,
The coat of many colors, of old, WAS laid away,
Bot now it's worn in public deny it if you can,
But you will surely find it on the "DOlly Warden"
For when the war raging it almost made him
swear
When he shouted "On to Richmond" and no one
seemed to care,
For he was mighty anxious to carry out some plan,
To make himself President, this "Dolly Warden"
man.
But when the war was ended, and the public mind
at rest,
They called man for President that suited them
the best,
And Horace ssw quite plainly that he must change
his plan,
So he comes out in this campaign "D ely Warden"
man.
He thinks that hes in fashion, for his is right
side out,
And of getting the election he has but little douot
But really, honest soldiers, We'll beat him if We can,
For we don't want for President this "Doliy Var
den" man. w. G. L.

Charles O'Conor, when waited
upon by the Committee from the
Louisville Convention, declined
the Presidential nomination. New
ertheless, the Executive Committee
have decided to keep his lame at
the head of their ticket, and propose
entering into lively campaigning
at once. They claim that O'Conor
has the confidence of the capitalists
and merchants in greater extent
than either of the other candidates,
and that Greeley will be forced out
of the fight in a short time.

The Chicago Times, in advising
with its Democratic friends on the
Maine election, says: "The truth
is that Mr.. Greeley is proving of
more service to the Radicals in the
character Of leader of the opposite
party than he was in the capacity of
editor of their principal organ. Can
the men who have been deluded or
dragooned into promising him their
support longer resist the evidences
of this fact? The remedy is not
yet out of their hands, and if they
fail to apply it they will be guilty
of squandering opportunities with
profiigacy that amounts to mad
ness"

ClaSpiBg Hands.

The loyal millions hold out the
hand of fellowship for all who are
sincere in their devotion to the Un-
ion. The past, SO far as its animos-
tiles go against those who fought
under a mistaken sense of duty, and
have since acknowledged the mis-
take by endeavoriug to act the part
of good citizens, is buried in the
grave of oblivion. To such citizens,
be they Democrats or Republicans,
the loyal people are willing to clasp
hands in earnest friendship. But
to extend our hands to those who
hope to revive the "lost cause"
who defy the Government, break
its laws, murder or plunder its
peaceful citizens, is an act of benev-
olence that we are not yet prepar
ed to practise. For the law-abid-
ing citizens Of the South we have
the kindest regard, and stand ready
at all times to give evidence of our
substantial friendship. For the Ku-
Klux and its friends, we have no
friendly words. We call for justice
upon their crimes in the name of
outraged justice. They have defed
the laws of man and God, and
should be punished to the fullest ex-
tent of the law. Thanks to Gener-
al Grant, their diabolical work is
about ended. If he is reelected
they will curse the South no more.
If Greeley is made President then
they will have new lease of power.
Loyal men of the RepublicI can you
hesitate in your choice? Grant
means peace, Greeley the renewal
of old troubles.

Senator Summers sudden depar-
ture for Europe just now is easily
explained by the following extract
from a recent letter in the Gazette.
He has perceived the mistake be
made in giving his aid and name to
the Liberal movement:
"Mr, Sumner, in conversation
with his old-time friend, Thomas
Hyatt, upon the present political
complications, said: Il cannot go
forward, for the Democratic party
is in the way. 1 can not go back, for
the Republican party has repudiat-
ed me, to the right and to the left
l no longer have the support and
confidence of the colored people,"

Whole No. 1896.
Figuring on Maine.

|. Whistiing while going through a
graveyard is cheerful work COM
pared to the Tribune's despairing
figuring over Maine. 1--WE hold up
the results in Maine," it cries, with
as bold face as it can muster, "for
inspiration and assurance, as we
next turn with confidence well NIGH
absolute to Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana" This is the old dodge
the cry of "Try again." from the
three-card monte man to his victims.
When North Carolina had shown
that the Greeley trade had cost the
Democracy thousands of votes, the
result was SHIELD up for inspiration
and assurance" and the frightened
Democrats were told that victory
still was sure, as Maine would prove.
Now, Maine comes with majority
from fifty to one hundred per cent.
larger than was conceded by the
Democrats before the election, show
ing that the Greeley detection from
Republican ranks is absolutely of no
account, and the Tammany organ
affects to take courage from it. 1t
is the courage of utter despair. On
the 28th of August it declared that
"a victory for US, or a large reduction
of last years Administration major
ity" was the thing that would en-
courage. Instead of victory, it
has a defeat instead of q reduction
of the Republican majority, it has a
heavy increase. Its pretense that
this is reassuring is too silly to im-
pose upon baby.

A prominent Brooklyn Democrat

A prominent Brooklyn Democrat
an early and enthusiastic Greeley
advocate-has declared within a
week that the change against Gree
ley during the last thirty days is
something unparalleled in politics.
Leading Greeley Republicans ad-
NIT that the Democratic State nom-
nations are fatal to him in New
York. The confidence, almost abb
solute," with which the professor
pretends to "turn next to Pennsyl.
vania, Ohio, and Indiana" is not
believed in or shared by his Demo
cratic friends. They begin to feel
as Esau might have done if Jacob
had failed to deliver the mess of
pottage.-TNew York Times.

Il is related as a singular circum-
stance that the owner of the farm
on which Lee surrendered also
owned the farm on which the first
battle of Bull Run was fought.
Fleeing from the might of the Un-

tox, as he thought, place to which
they would never penetrate, and
there, by a singular chance, wit
messed the downfall of the Confed-
eracy.

cow that had given pailful of milk
and then kicked it all over" This

Reputation of Greeley in
Monroe County. n. Y.

Noting that the tide is setting
heavily against Greeley in his own
locality, as everywhere else, the
Rochester Democrat says: "In one
shop in this city, where one hundred
and fifty men are employed, nearly
all of them were for Greeley when
the nominations were first made;
yet now one hundred and twenty
five have signed the club enroll
ment for the Republican nominees,
and most OF the remainder will
doubtless do so. The sober second
thought is producing the right ef-
feet upon many of those who were
first misled by the hypocritica
shouts of reform, which were set up
by Greeley tricksters."

In 1868, Seymour received 80 votes in
the electoral college. He carried New
York, 80 votes; New Jersey, 7; Delaware,
8; Maryland, I; Georgia, 9; Louisiana,
7: Kentucky, II; and Oregon, 8. Of
these States Greeley has no hopes Of
carrying either Louisiana or Oregon,
and it is extremely doubtful whether he
can carry New York. If the October
elections are as favorable to the Repub-
licans as we have reason to hope they
will be, Grant is sure to carry New
York in Novembe Der. That will take
forty-three of the Seymour votes away
from Greeley. But in '68 the States of
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas did not
vote for President. Give Greeley Vir-
ginia, IL votes, and his vote in the elec-
toral college will be- As. Forty-eight
out of three hundred and sixty-six
would leave General Grant three hun
