The Carroll Conservative saws:
Everything now depends upon ne Dem
ocratie National Convention. should
put democratic ticket in the u vi Grants
reelection is certain. and that l. as only
hope. We have faith that the "A stOm aud
patriotism of the Democratic Convention
will give its assistance 10 a clearly practical
reform. conIented to forego pro hdc rice
mere the spoils of the contest.
The Handsboro Democrat says:
We are against Grant. but shah await the
action of the Baltimore Convention before
we consent To support the Cincinnati Con-
vention nominees.
The Pontotoc Intelligeneer says
In our judgment. at least so far as the
vote of the South Is To be considered, the
Convention acted wisely i'm selecting Hor-
ace Greeley as the candidate for the Presi-
dency.
The Meridian Mercury says:
Asa Democrat we would be ready to say
again. that it were well that Democrats let
well enough alone. We would still advise
against Democratic nomination as we 10
under the present circumstances.
The Ripley Advertiser says:
Should the nominations be seconded by
the Democracy, We regard the ticket as In
vulnerable.
The Greenville Times says:
As surprising as was Greeley's nomina-
ton, the almost universal favor with which
it is received is more so. There j. some dis
satisfaction among the Eastern Democrats,
but we have observed none IN the West, and
the Indications there all point to a ratiice-
ton of the nomination by Northern Demo-
Gratis; in the South it is needless 10 say
there is no opposition.
The Yazoo Democrat says:
We believe the Solth should give Horace
Greeley a cordial support, regardless OF the
matter whether it please the hondholdlng
Democrat of the North or not. The further
rule OF Grant means additional ruin 10 the
South-not "A particle of harm TO the North.
The Louisville winston county, Ban
ner, speaking of the platform, says;
They are the crystalized essence of the
spirit of IA whole people. crushed out by
uncomfortable pressure OF corruption ana
tyrannous disagreement. fHey are strong
in frame and pregnant with giant change;
for-if honestly carried out-they viii grow
into reforms of government undreamed of
six short months ago by the most sagacious
statesmen in the land.
The Vicksburg Citizen-News, in hoist
ing the ticket, says;
We do this believing 1t TO be a duty with
as to do what may be within our power 10
aid ia the election TO those high offices hon
est men, who are pledged to reform la all
branches of the public service, as aga .,
the corruption and mall administration
which has characterized the present heads
of this Government.
The RAYMOND Gazette says:
The opinion is expressed i'm all quarters
that Greeley and Brown will sweep the
country. Overthrowing the present wash
inpton DYNASTY and cOnsigning IL Ia ever
lasting intamy.
The Woodville Sentinel says:
In view of the important issues at stake
IL IS the plain duty of every man, be ne
Northern or Southern. be he Democrat or
Republican, who loves his country or seeks
his own prosperity, TO sacrifice for the tlme'
if necessary, all partisan feeling and unite
i'm one grand effort 10 restore To its former
purity the Constitution of our fathers. ~
then the Reform movement continues To
extend its Influence in the future ~ II ma
done in the past. union OF all the elelhehts
of the opposition with the Reform hebuo-
licans will insure Grants defeat. while a
failure to bring about such union viii as

We certainly prefer Greeley or the devil
to Grant. but we are not going into hyster-
les over it.

The ticket of Greeley and Brown has been
and is being en- orsed by an overwhelming
majority of the Conservative Press and the
most influential men in the Conservative

Ming a third ticket. it will doubtless be IN
The secret interest of Gen. Grant. The main
hope of the Grant party lies in the retrac-
tory action of |ele bourbons, both North
aud South.
The Monticello Advocate says:
If we have TO choose between too evils,
Grant or Greeley, we certainly shall take
Greeley. But we do not think there II
any necessity for either, at this time. Tue
Platform. in many respects Is good-some
things in il that we admire.
The Ripley Advertiser says;
In accepting the nominees Of the Cincin-
natl Convention, that party need not resign
its identity by a fusion with the kepuDil-
can organization, but can maintain its IN
| teprity, and, at the same time help to secure
/ , Change tor the better. This Will leave u

corrigibles to SOW disaffection in the rank
and check the progress of reform ALREADY
