The Democratic National Committee dds
IN July, 1872, with an unanimity unDrees-
dented in the history of the party, nomi-
nate as their candidate for Office as Presi-
dent of the United States Horace Greeley
OF New York. Six States cast their cleo
toral votes for him at the late election and
millions OF men in the other States where
we failed of success testified their
appreciation Of his noble character
and great services he had rem
dered the country by voting our
electoral ticket. But Horace Greeley
is dead. The splendor of the political vic
tory achieved by his opponents is now di-
minished by the soTew which this sad
event has cast upon the. people whom he
loved, and who regarded him as one Of the
best and bravest of men. The lessons of
his pure and blameless life will long re-
main impressed upon the age in which h9
lived. Every beat of his great heart was
in sympathy with humanity in it broadcast
form. lie loved the government, he
loved his teliow-men, and the labors Of
his whole life were to elevate the condition
OF mankind. No struggle for liberty, civil
or religious, was ever made on the surface
OF the earth since his manhood began, with
which he did not sympathize and to which
he failed to give faithful and powerful aid.
Every day of his life abounded with acts
of kindness, of charity, of forgiveness and
of love. Not his stricken family alone, but
a stricken people sorrow for his loss, which
is irreparable and almost unparalleled.
The National Democratic Commi.te lin
behalf Of the great party who achieved
honor by their faithful effort to elect him to
the first Office in the government, will do all
in their power to honor his name and men,
ory. AUGUSTUS SCHELL,
Chairman National Democratic Committee.
