GREELEY AND BROWN CLUBS IN pl1II.ADEL-
pHIA--opENlNG THE CAMPAIGN.
PHlLADELpH1A, May 27.A large and
enthusiastic meeting of Liberal Re-
publicans and Democrats was held
tonight, in the Fsrst Ward, to Or
ganize II Greeley and Brown Associa-
ton. John w. Lynn was chosen
President.
There was great enthusiasm, and
several stirring speeches made one,
among others, by John ". Frazin,
Ego, Secretary Of the liberal Re
publican Executive Committee, who
said:
AS one of Pennsylvania delega-
ton to the Cincinnati convention, he
was proud of the good wor!: accom-
plished ther, and sentabroad through
out the land, for ratification by the
people thereof. Snch thoughtful aud
influential Democrats ns DR.. Andrew
Ncbinyer, Mayor Vaux, Senators
Wallace and Bucka|ew, commended
our action, the first having said to
the speaker that the nomination of
Greeley and Brown were the wisest
selections Which could have been
made while Mr.. Vnux recently ro-
marked that chad the Cincinnati
convention continued its delibera-
tions ior six months, it would have
been impossible for thcm to have
bnildca better; and as Tor the plat
form, together with its accompanying
address to the people,, it was some
thing that has never yet been sur-
passed by amy hing Of the kind since
Jefferson" and they but express the
sentiment almost universal among,
sensible Democrats. Liberal EcpIlo-
liclns believe the surest, safest and
speediest remedy for the grievances
under which We s11itIr is 10 nc found
in the election OF Horace Greeley
In his nomination we have prcsentc1 4
that which will effect q cure of the
fostering disease of C,r4ntism, and it
only remains for the people to apply
it. We have presented the name OF
Horace Greeley for your suffrases
because he best represents the true
principles of Democracy because he
opposes the giving Of land grants to
wealthy corporations, which, if not
stopped soon. the last acre Of the
public domain will be given away /;
because he is against excluding the
men of highest intelligence of the
South from American citizenship, to
which they are entitled: because lie
opposes placing in Presidential hands
the power to suspend the writ of ha-
beas corpus; because he opposes
making civil law subordinate to mill
tary despotism because he is against
the present policy Of securing valua-
ble gifts by theaward of public Office;
because he opposes that centraliza-
ton of power which takes from the
people Of tho States the right to
manage their local Affairs. For these
reasons we have made him our can
didate, believing the people OF all
parties will support him, and proud
ly and triumphantly elect him Presi.
dent of the United States.

SURE FOR GREELEY AND BROWN.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Ez-Senat'
or Ross, who is in town, denies the
accuracy of the generally crediteo
report that Kansas is sure to give its
electoral vote for Grant next Novem'
ber. He says the people Of that State
have not forgotten how good a FRIEND
Mr.. Greeley was to them during theil
troubles in 1856, and that while
there has been very little outward
demonstration, Greeley and Brown
Clubs have been quietly formed al
over the State, and the farmers, who
make little noise but cast a grea
many votes, will be sure to make
their influence felt for Greeley OF
election day. Senator Ross says, also
that the feeling Of the Germans ii
