GERMAN SALOON KEEPERS IN COUNCIL.

mass meeting OF German saloon keepers was
held at the Teutonia Assembly Rooms yesterday,
for the purpose OF taking action for the protection
OF the lager beer retail business against certain
exactons on the part of the brewers and the vexa-
tious Sunday clause of the Excise law. The meet
Ing was organized by the election OF Christian
Schmidt Chairman and Henry Haas Secretary.
Addresses on the subject were delivered by Messrs
Paul Falk Hapner, Haas, BOpp aud others, from
whose remarks 1t appeared that 1t is customary
with the brewers to furnish short measure, and the
Legislature is to be called upon to pass law
providing that the casks In which the beer Is FUR
nished shall be stamped, as 1t Is provided in
OF the German States, thereby compelling the
os ole"Sis sou W ~ ,u h M s. Were
and 1t was decided to address memorial to the
next Legislature on these points. A committee
was formed for the purpose OF preparing a dOcu-
ment Of that sort, and to submit the same to a
meeting OF delegates, to be held In the course OF
next week.

wEsTOHEsTER COUNTY POLITICS.

convention, purporting to represent the de-
mocracy of the First Assembly district OF West
chester county, was held at Yonkefs, yesterday,
for the purpose Of nominating candidate for AS
semblyman. The liberal republicans of the district
also met In convention at the same time. con.
ference committee from each body having been
appointed short recess was taken, after which
the. democratic wing OF the committee reported
that as q result OF their Joint deliberations the
liberals proposed that joint convention composed
Of equal numbers Of democrats and liberal republi-
cans, should be held, and at which q wo-thirds
vote should be necessary to nomination. The re-
port was speedily tabled by the democrats, who
then proceeded to nominate Hugh Lunny, of West
chester, as the choice Of the Convention. This
done, the democrats, with remarkable deli
cacy ~ OF feeling appointed committee to wait
upon and inform the Liberal Republican Conven-
tion OF their action. 1t s almost needless TO state
that the latter body treated the announcement
with becoming contempt, and, after considerable
discussion, nominated as their standard bearer
william w. Niles, whose services at Albany last
Winter are still held In grateful remembrance. As
there are now three candidates In the district
named the prospects for lively contest are ex-
ceedingly encouraging.

GREELEY AND THE GERMAN
A NEWSPAPERS. Rw


Some Of the Grant organs have had a
great deal to say about German newspa-
pers opposing Greeley. DIR. F. C. Brunck,
editor of the Buffalo Germany Democrat
has carefully prepared list of the entire
German American press and the present
political position of each paper. From this
list it appears that of the ifty-fiye German
dailies published, thirty support Greeley and
Brown; nineteen support Grant, four are
hostile to both tickets, aud two are still I'M
decided. Ofthe seyenty-four German pa
pers weekly, semi-weekly or tri weekly,
fifty-three support Greeley; nine are for
Grant two oppose both tickets, and ten are
on the fence. In other words, of the one
hundred and twenty nine German papers
above enumerated Comprising the entire
German press, with the possible excep ion
of several obscure weeklies) eighty-three
go for Greeley and Brown and only twenty
eight for Grant and Wilson. The proper
ton is three for Greeley to one for Grant.
Never before was the German element of
this country so nearly unanimous in poll
teal campaign as now on behalf of Greeley

The Albany IN. y Argus Of July ~,
says: "Mr. Farrell keeps grocery on the
pier, and deals extensively in stores for
canal boatmen. A very large number Of
this class of men visit his place. For his
own gratific .tioi,, Mr.. Farrell has kept a list
ofthe political complexion Of the boatmen.
Since Greeley's nomination, the vote stands
as follows: For Greeley, 45S; for Grant,
50. Six.y-three of those who now declare
for Greeley, voted for Grant in 1883, and
1874 of them voted for Lincoln in 1860 and
1S64.n

There are Greeley coats, Greeley hat:
and Greeley fans, Greeley everything in

coat or Grant hat or Grant fan? This i:
a very significant indication Of public opin-

Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-08-02


1T was believed that when the Demo-
cratic party adopted the Cincinnati ticket
and platform 70 save our constitutional gov
eminent, there would be some changes. II
was known that great many Liberal Re-
publicans would support the ticket nom.-
mated by their own friends, and supported
by Senators Trumbull, Schurz aud others
among the ablest of the Republican party.
Strange indeed, if some Democrats did not
come to the Greeley and Brown ticket with
reluctance. Senator Bayard did, and SO
did Congressman Voorhees,; but both have
come 70 the support of the ticket, to secure
peace and return to constitutional gov
eminent. So do the Democratic party, col
idly. Few indeed-rery few are the Dem
ocrats, or professed Democrats, who decide
to support Grant anu Wilson-candidate
who represent the principles of consolida-
ton and the party that ,ramples upon the
Constitution.
