PERSONAL AND POLITICAL NOTES
Il. G. vegetables in New Hamp-

Steiner, the treasurer of the Frenc
: band concerts at Chicago.
President Grant had gay, heart
and enthusiastic reception at Bur-
ingtOn, VT
Greeley says he is as much of
Republican as he ever was. Graf
! Brown says the Republican party i
dead, aud so they have it-any wa,
to humbug the people.
II. G.. has been Grating in NeI
Hampshire. His speeches are com
posed largely of capital I's. He ha
been big thing for this countr
unless he is mistaken.
Judge Davis, whom the workin,
men nominated as their candidat
for President is outspoken 70
Grant, as "Greeley's elertion would
be detrimental to the best interest
of the country"
Conkling has stirred up the op
position wonderfully. His SHARP
delineation of the real situation
gals the Democracy, and they
writhe like scorched serpents every
| where.
A New Yorker, just returned
from Mississippi, says that the Sc
clet of Southern enthusiasm fol
Greeley, is the confidence of the
people that they will get pay fol
their emancipated slaves if he il
elected. Horace, they say, is in ia.
vor of justice being done them, and
Justice they understand to be the
price of their lost chattels.
"Let Grant sell the surplus gold
in the treasury if he wants better
times" exclaims q Kansas Demo
cratic newspaper. If Greeley should
be elected there would be no trouble
about surplus gold. He is surround
ed by lot of fellows who would
empty the treasury quicker than
Horace could sign q bail bond
| Commonwealth.
The Liberals claim that the Dem
ocratic party is dead, and that they
have charge of the corpse. A Dem
ocratic exchange reminds them that
100000 Democratic votes will
make a lively corpse for them to
manage, if they once more get into
power.
Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, is
Liberal Republican and a reform
er. Such, at least, he is termed by
his present admirers. Nevertheless
he secured the removal of a Grip
pied soldier from an Illinois pension
agency and the appointment of his
own brother-in-law to the place.
While Mr.. Julian represented the
old fifth district in Congress, out of
about two hundred offices at his
disposal he kept seven relatives in
Office part of the time and five all
the time. This is forty times as
many in proportion as any one ever
charged Grant with appointing of
his relatives. While Gooding was
Marshal of the District of Column
bia under Andy johnson he had
three of his brothers appointed to
Office in Washington, one as post
master at Greenfield, and two broth
ers-in-law as internal revenue Off
GERS in Hancock county. Yet such
men as Julian, Gooding and Prum-
bull have the audacity to talk about
Grants nepotism.
One of the western delegates to
the Baltimore convention being
asked if his party could not find a
Democrat suitable for the Presiden-
tial nomination, replied that they
had plenty of good candidates,
but, said he, "you see the Demo-
cratic machine is stuck in the mud,
and we want to move it. To do
that we are not particular about the
team.w we hitch on, whether it is a
draft horse or jackass. What we
want is to move the machine"
E. A. Pollard, the historion of
E'The Lost Cause" has issued q
stout pamphlet entitled ga South
ern Historians Appeal for Horace
Greeley" A single extract will
suffice to explain the secret of the
enthusiasm for Greeley among the
recent rebels. Mr.. Pollard says,
"the Democratic party, to support
Mr.. Greeley for President, is not
asked 10 give up any of the opin-
ions which distinguish it as a
party, and which may be necessary
to maintain its organization and
principles. 1t IS a portion Of the
Republican party that has come to
them, not they tuhO hare gone to the
Republican party" (The Italics are
Mr.. Pollsrd's.)
The reporter of the New York
Times, who attended one of Mr..
Greeley's receptions at Chappaqua,
vouches for the following:
"Mr. Greeley, in conversation
with Coy. Ashley, at Chappaqua,
last Saturday, made q statement
which omitted to incorporate in
my report. While referring to the
number of subscribers dissatisfied
with the course of the Tribune, and
who have sent to that paper to have
their money refunded, claiming
that 1t was obtained under false
pretenses, Mr.. Greeley said that so
soon last fall as he became aware of
the course of the Democratic party
with reference to his nomination,
he attended to the issue of the Tri-
bune prospectus personally, and
purposelY made it such that the
subscribers could not accuse him of
lack of faith"
Who will say after this that Mr..
Greeley was not Intriguing with the
Democrats for the Presiden tial
nomination in the fall of last year
al WARN You, LdBERALs.n-Dr.
Rogers, Democrat of forty years
standing, and prominent man in
the party in central Illinois, ad-
dresaed Liberal Republican con-
vention in Mclean county. q few
days ago. From the Paragraphs
report OF the speech we make the
following extract:
Gle told his Liberal Republican
friends that he had been instructed
by the Democratic State Central
Committee, of which he was chair
man, to notify them then and there
that the Democrats did not propose
to give up their organization; that
he for one would die before he
give mn the grand old 1aartv NTH
