THE IDA GREELEY GRAYs
Mr.. Theodore Tilton has received a letter
rom young man in Baltimore, stating that
? number OF young democrats from the Southern
border states, who had served In Lees army, pro-
pose to form campaign club for Greeley and
Brown, with uniform OF gray to travel through
selves the 'ida Greeley Grays,b after the heroine
OF the campaign, and he asks OF Mr.. Tiiton, as a
special friend Of Mr. Greeley, II the IDEA viii meet
With the appreciation ON Greeley and his daughter
Tilton asked Mr. Greeley what he thought OF it, on
Saturday, ct Chappaqua, and the old gentleman
seemed rather pleased, but he said -
''Suppose you ask Ida"
"A HEROINE IN THE FIGuT.u
1lton accordingly asked Ida. She was frightened ut
amoment, modestiy acknowledged the great honor
the chivalric Southrons proposed TO do her as the
daughter OF their standard bearer, and gave her
willing consent. 1t is supposed that the ida Gree
ley Grays" will be sort OF flying club, to give Zest
to the campaign In the North by an infusion Of tho
young Southern clement 1t will certainly be a
lively feature, and, as Miss Ida Greeley promises to
De real heroine in the fight, 1t is probable that
more OF such clubs will be formed In her honor
al over the country. at Is good thing" said
Sron. Wnat we need Is to shuttle the North and
south together again like pack OF cards."
ATCd
gentleman remarked that tho ex-rebel speak
ers at Chappaqua had announced their intention to
Issue an address to the people OF the North, an.
nouncing their cheerful acquiescence IN the results
OF the war and their willing acceptance OF the con-
1titutonal amendments. 1t was the general opin-
ion that all felt that way; that there was no covert
desire under their Jealous acquiescence In the con-
Ttion OF Things 10 restore slavery or TO foster Ku-
kluxism Or rebellion. Such an address would do
more than any other campaign document to win
the votes OF many republicans who have an honest
rear that rebellion yet shoulders In the hearts Of
the Southern people.
In the afternoon Colonel Allen and Augustus
6che met In Senator Fenton's rooms at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, and held a consultation of some
length relative TO the cooperation OF the two ma
.tiona committees In the coming campaign.
