prints final exhortation to its readers in
the country, and presents in the most
compact way 1t can the reasons that it
claims should constrain Democrats to vote
for Mr.. GREELEI. ANer trying to show,
what everybody knows to be VIGOROUSLY
untrue, that the leading principles Of Mr..
GREELEY's political creed are held By
the Democratic party, the World con-
cludes with this presentation Of more

pie, it is evident that il Grant is reelected,

Cabinet or any influence in his Admins
trnion; whereas il Mr.. Greeley is the next
President, majority Of his GdriStrS Till
t1H8iI Of Democratic Statesmen. The
dcAuliest blow that could be struck at
military imperialism would be the deiest
OF Grant; and every true Democrat re-
CARDS military centralisIu as our chief
evil and danger. We have nothing to
expect from Grant, ana great dcd! 70
