Intentionally We trust having been msei
by oihei : into the belief that its represen-
taiiye men are in the same liltle craft
with itself. 1t quotes newspapers and
men as approving the Cincinnati nornina-
tons, when our information is just the re-
verse. II sets down Hendricks rs Greeley
man, when he himself repul mites the sup
position. 1t aludes to the Bssion Post as
sustaining the Cincinnati tiee ssetTa winch is
INCORRECT. We believe none of the great
democratic leaders, upon whom democrats
arc wont to rely, arc committed TO this
mongrcl movement They all say, with
one accord, wait for the Democratic Con.
yeution, which has now been called. Note
The language of Voorhees,. AS far as we
can ascertain, the following influential
and leading democratic journals dishp-
prove the nominations made NJ Cincinnati.
The Boston Post, The New York Exp, ess,
The N. Y. World, The Albany Argus, The
Pittsburg Post, The Chicago Times, The
Louisville Ledger and Tho San Fr.nciscn
Herald. i'
The most of these are the old and reli-
able uraclcs of tho democratic party, and
the Washington PATRIOT is the recognized
organ cflhe democratic IN emlers of Con-
gress, and published Under llieir eye And
yet the Houston Times tells its readers
that 'notIingc can be more evidcntthan that
''thc strength of democratic journalism,
''botli as to ntImbcr and ability, decidedly
'ravors lie adoption Of the Cincinnati
''iicket." Not 50 by n long way, and the
Times is deceived, we trust, and not trying
TO deceive IL, rea lers. The Memphis Ava
iapcbe has not been considered for some
time as n reliable democratic paper, and
Garrett Davis and Leslie COMBS never
were democrats, and their determination
will not weigh y feather with the true
democracy. This fact that ouch men as
Ct +. in, of Pennsylvania, and Tillou, of New
York are for the ticket gives it no favor in
our sight, or ,hat it may be supported by
Anna Dickinson and Victoria Woolhul.
All this shows the Importance of regular
democrat nomination. We fear the cleo
ton of Greeley would bring around the
| White House a swarm Of cackling scream
ing Isms Of all sorts, which would but com
plelc,the destruction Of what Grant m light
leave of cur original Institutions and hab-
its. Did not Greeley lately preside over
public mcsling in New York at which
Anna Dickinson was tho orator Of the oc-
more or less, to the free lovers? Are not
some of his warmrst supporters among
that misguided class? Was he not n
siaunch friend Of Mrs. Mcfarland and
her lover, Richardson? We take no pleas
ure in allading to those things, but they
must be considered by the democracy in
making up their minds about the Cincin-
natl Ticket. There may BIO democrats, who
will not object to these things we have
mentioned, but we trustthey are few. The
old Democratic flag was a neble one, and
we have ever fought under it with q clear
conscience aud a firm resolution. Gol for
bid that it should ever become polluted
with any ofIho foolish and false. sibths of
