'Twos'r TO TO ABuss HoRxcE.--says For
ney:
"Abuse of Horace Greeley or of the Gin.
cinnati Convention would be poor invest
ment. It certainly will not make him less
acceptable to the Democrats or more ready
to withdraw from the field if they nominate
candidates Of their own. He is fair sub
lect for criticism, being himself critic, but
he has too strong a hold upon the situation
to make it either safe or decent for Republi-
cans to hold him up to ridicue or shamc.
The Democrats must either cheat or take
him, and either way, the Grant Republicans
must be the gainsrst"
ORGANIZATION IN PENNsYLyASIA.-Phi
phia, May 6.--Mr. A. Mcclure, chairman of
the Republican State Committee, publishes
IN address calling for the formation OF eXecu-
tive committees In every county. He con-
cludes thus: ga resolution to take no steps
backward, with organization immediate and
systematic, is our present duty. The strug-
gle with an arrogant and wcll-armed mower
will be desperate for time, but the issue
tslnnot be doubted: In this political demo-
rsliZatioi1 of peace, as Iii the terrible trials of
war, it will be solemhls decided that the kov-
eminent of the people; BY tie people and for
the people, shall hot perish from the EARTH"
The CALIFORNIA PREss.-The San Fran
cisco, CAL, the Call Independently says tire
nomination OF Greeley produces the greatest
diSmay among Federal ofiice-holderss The
alta California independently says to deny
that the Cincinnati ticket has strength before
the people is idle; but the Democracy will
probably nominate ticket of their own, and
drive Greeley's friends to support Grant.
The Chronicle (republican) says the Gin
cinnati platform is uneXceptonablc, but the
nomination of Greeley is such Il surprise that
we can form no idea ut present as to its effect
upon the mercantile people.
WHAT They SAY IN UTAn.-SdN Lake,
May 6.-The Herald Nlormon) says Greeley
and Brown are Il strong ticket, and if the
Democrats endorse it,. Greeley will he the
next President.
The Tribune IiberaD says there will be
complete resuseltatioh Of Democratic power
i'll the event Of the success Of Greeley. for Il
fusion once made, the Democrats alone will
decide all questions.

The PROMISES ALREADY MADE BY THE FREE
TRADE-PRoTEcrIoS CASpIDATE.--Mr. Greeley
has already. said to ole and another--il-
though he resoluteiy resolved in the outset
to say nothing to anybody-a good deal about
what he will do if he becomes President,
which he seems now to think is his sure and
| certain fate, and from his statements good
idea OF his ideas can be gained lie saws that
if Congress should pass bill repeating the
tariff he should certainly sign it; that he will
promptly grant universal amnesty; that he
| will break up all rings; that he will unlock
the golfers Of the Treasury and release gold
"miglty quick; that he'll sink all "isnls"
andfollow the will of the people; and that he'll
have no corruption in office or wre-pulling
during his administration. He says he never
had Il doubt that the Democrats would
quietly and effectively; if not openly, endorse
the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention
| whoever he might be; and he thinks he will
| be elected because the people want Il new
| departure and arc tired Of military govern
| ment. He regards us the greatest of all the
mistakes of the AdminiStration-the most
| terrible of political bIuudcrs-its "whole-
Salo butchery Of Fenton'S friends in this
CITY," or in other words, its removal
of Fcnton'> tools from office, though he
regards its removal Of Sumner from the
head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and
its :'basc attacks on Schurz, Trumbul, and
| Upton" as bad enough. He says he knows
what is coming and fully comprchends the
prominence of his position before his enc
mics: but he adds: 81 lave Il tough hide
and can stand all the abuse that will be
leapcd upon me. mean to fight and do
my duty" 1t appears to be quite certain
that he will make show Of leaving the Tri.
| bune during the campaign. and all political
organizations, so that his friends "can work
him on 4 clear tield.'
