CAMPAIGN NOTES.

tsS Gen. John Bedel, formerly Democratic
nominee for Governor of New Hampshire,
openly repudiates Greeley.
ty" Colonel Blanton Duncan, Of the
"straight-out" Democratic movement, says
the ticket that will be nominated at Louis
vile will have 100000 votes.
fE-Forney's Philadelphia Press feels au-
thorized to say that reports about Curtin
coming out for Greeley are 'entirely without
authority"
esyy-Hint to Confederate organs about
commenting on election returns: II the cleo
q IN appears to be in your favor, call It
'A'ey notes" If 1t proves to be against you,
tall 1t fraud.
EVA correspondent Of the National Re-
publican Committee says that In one OF the
Missouri Congressional Districts 100 Demo
cratic voters in each county, on an average,
have declared for Grant against Greeley.
Congressman Henry i. Dawes has en-
phatically mailed" the statement that he in
clines toward Greeley. He made long
speech at Grant meeting in Lowville, N.
Y, the other night, during which he de-
nounced the Greeley movement with great
force.
tzSy" Thirteen members Of the class Of 1912,
of Yale College, lately met together at New
Haven. An expression for President OF the
United States was asked and taken, and the
result was /: For U. s. Grant, 1S; for Horace
Greeley,0.
Postmaster General Creswell has re-
turned to Washington from his tour through
various parts of Michigan. Having con-
ferred with the leading men Of the State,
he Is satisfied that it will give Grant and
Wilson majority of fully $4,000.
FY-In 1869 Mr.. Greeley wrote the follow
ing paragraph: "You must stop electing
to the Legislature such men as Mattoon,
Aiken, Bemus, and three dozen more such,
or corruption can never be vanquished. II
| you lie down with such dogs you will get up
alive with ieas." These three men are now
for Greeley.
r5y~The enthusiastic manner in which
President Grant has been recently received
at various points in the State of New York
argues that Greeleyism does not prevail
there to the alarming extent our opponents
would have us believe. Brag and bluster is
now the "Liberal" " game.
The Richmond Enquirer sadly says:
"We have learned one lesson by this North
Carolina business it may be as well to profit
by--and we needed little experience to i'm
| press it upon us-and that is, not to be in
too great hurry in future to fire off our
| pop guns before we are certain 1t is our time
| to shoot"
| tay- North Carolina is an unpalatable dose
for the Democrats. At first, with their usual
brag and bluster, they claimed tremend-
Gus victory; and now that the actual returns
! give the Republicans the victory, they cry
| fraud" That is puerile attempt to
break the force of their defeat and humilia-
| tion; it is "too thin"
| eay"Another prominent Democrat has
come out for Grant. We refer to J. w.
Carson, of Ohio He is no less parsonage
than the Chairman of the Democratic State
| Central Committee. His support of the
| present Administration is based on the
ground of good business policy. He declares
| his utter lack of confidence in Greeley's
| financial ability.
sY@ @Ex-Judge Clarke, of New York, who
was appointed on the new Tammany Com
mittee to give character to that body, re-
signs his position, and declares his purpose
to vote for President Grant. He speaks of
| Tammany as being as corrupt now as it was
under Tweed and his associates. No New
| York Judge ever enjoyed higher reputation
than Judge Clarke, and his letter will have
good influence on that city.
sa- One of the significant "straws" of the
present campaign is the canvass lately made
of the towns of Chesterfield and Ausable, N.
Y. The Burlington Free Press is informed
that the result of the canvass disclosed just
| tUo Greeley Republicans in the two towns,
| one of whom is considered doubtful while
no less than one hundred and tOenty Democrats
were found who will not vote for Greeley,
| Sirty of whom are out and out for Grant.
~ That was q very discouraging Greeley
mass meeting which was gotten up among
| the Germans of Troy. Two men originated
| IT, ana about one hnn5-ad anu nIJy uvrnIu.Irs
gathered On the Chairman putting the ques-
tion, it was found to his great surprise, that
every man present, with the exception of the
original two, was for Grant. The plan of
action was slightly modified, and very en-
| thusiastic Grant and Wilson campaign club
was organized then and there.
.B-The educated Germans are against
Greeley. For example, Ex-Governor Solomon,
of Wisconsin, writes that he cannot and
shall not vote for Greeley, and adds: 81 have
too clear a conception of the elements that
surround and will control him, and of his
unftness for the Presidential office, to sup
port him." That is the reason why not only
| intelligent Germans, but all other honest
men of thought, will refuse to support the
humbug philosopher"
s8 Frederick Douglass, while recently in
Washington, authorized the publication of
statement to the effect that Senator Summers
charge that President Grant Intentionally
snubbed him when he gave a dinner to the
San Domingo Commissioners, without invit-
| ing him, is not true. He pertinently re-
marked: $50 long as 1 don't complain of
President Grant, and acquit him of any in
territorial forgetfulness, don't see why Mr..
Sumner and other persons should find
fault
~ But a few weeks ago the name of
General Banks was signed to an address,
from which we copy the following para
graph: 'We congratulate ourselves upon the
fact that the Government, during the past
three and one half years, has been admins
tered by one of our comrades who has shown
wonderful civil capacity in aiding the reduc-
tion of the public debt, in conducting our
foreign affairs with great skill, SO that We
now stand at peace with the whole world,
and in preserving peace in sections of our
country where sentiments were entertained
calculated to disturb the reorganization of
the States lately in rebellion"
eag@ Democracy having nominated Mr..
Greeley, and constituting nine-tenths of his
popular support, if it elects him, will con-
troll him. This may be set down as certain.
The use to which it proposes to put him
during the canvass is simply that of stool
pigeon to entrap Republican voters; and, If
the plan succeeds, then it will have other
uses for him as Democratic President. 1t
| is the sheerest nonsense in the world to sup
pose that, having gone so far as he has al
ready gone, he would not, If elected, be to
| all intents and purposes a Democrat. 1t is
not in-human nature, and especially not in
his nature, for him to be otherwise. Let
Republicans now defeat the Democratic
party, in this its last move, by defeating Mr..
Greeley, and that will politically be the end
of both. This is the work to be done, and
which, as we believe, will be done next No
