THE FIRST GREELEY AND BROWN
CLUB.

An adjourned meeting Of citizens OF Charles
ton Interested in the Liberal Republican move
ment was held last evening at the office of the
Daily Republican, and an association formed
tor the purpose of organizing the campaign In
this city, under the name Of the Greeley and
Brown Central Liberal Republican Club. The
organization was completed by the election OF
the following permanent oficera J. Evans
Britton, president; Aaron b. Harper (colored)
and Thomas Devlne, vice-presideDts; Moulton
Emery, secretary, and B. A. Carson, treasurer.
The following briei and pertinent platform was
adopted: Resolved, That as good Republicans
We desire and will work Tor the election of
Greeley and Brown In preference to Grant aud
Wilson because, first, they represent better
principles, and, second, they are better fitted
for the position. 1t was resolved to hold the
regular meetings of the club as often as once
week, and subject to the call of the chair, to
be published in all the daily papers; and 1t was
also ordered that notice Of the organization
be sent to Colonel 8. A. Pearce, chairman OF
the State committee, and to the Liberal Be-
publican headquarters In Washington and New
York. 1t is now proposed t. organize auxili-
ary clubs In every ward Of the city, and as
soon as practicable to hold mass meeting at
which prominent speakers will address the
citizens upon the Liberal Republican move

against the surrender of bis party. Even the
rural Democracy of Berks, which has been
wont to consider itself OF divine origin, bows
to the decree of fate, and, through its organs,
talks glibly of "clasping hands across the
bloody chasm." The unanimlty with which
the Democratic journals of Pennsylvania have
hoisted the names of Greeley and Brown is
as emphatic as their nomination. at Balti-

that opposes Greeley. His flag has been
simultaneously unfurled sll over. the State,

burg and Pittsburg, have broken out with the
EXTREMIST laudauons OF his career. The cpl
demic of Liberalism, as 1t has been called, has
developed here as strongly as in New York or
Indiana. We confess to decided feeling OF
surprise as we read the Democratic papers of
Pennsylvahia; at the Philadelphia Age and

CLEVELAND, O., July 10.
The PlaIndealer to-day publishes letter
from A. G. Thurman, in which he says that
though he would prefer that the Democrats
had resolved on straight Democratic Ticket,
he will work earnestly lor the election of Gree
lev and Brown, as 1t ia the will of the party,
and he believes that the welfare Of the country
requires the defeat Of the present Adminlstra-
uon. The nomination OF Greeley and Brown
at Baltimore, be says, was the work of the
people, politicians having nothing or little TO
do with It. The Democratic party does not
abandon its principles. but believing as It does
tnat the course of the Radical leaders threat
ems to destroy all constitutional and Demo-
cratic Ideas 1t Is bound by Its principles to
seek to overthrow those leaders, and If 1t can.
not do 1t by the mode 1t would prefer 1t s but

There is 40 local reason why Greeley should

Congressional district In this State In which

Several districts which in 1868 gave Grant
majorities by the thousands, are, even at this

to the electoral vote of this State being given
for Greeley there s no doubt. The Greeley
