WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC SUP.
Port CONES FROM

We invite the particular attention of all our
readers to the following paragraphs, quoted
word for word from the Tribune. We pre-
sumo the statements contained in them will
not be doubted, seeing they conc from Mr..
Greeley's own organ.
''As soon as the news that Greeley and
Brown had been nominated was receiv d,
bunting was unfurled from every flagstaff on
the City Hall. In the City Hall Park was
displayed large banner bearing the inscrip-
ton: 'Tammany responds to the nomination
of the National Convention at Baltimore
Directly in front of this banner was a four
FOUNDER, from which one hundred salutes in
honor of the nomination were fred in quick
succession. Soon after this small gun began
to make itself heard, two ten-pounders were
put in position little to the left of 1t, each
Of which added fifty reverberatng roars, &c.
Upon the receip. OF a dispatch from Bal
timore announcing the nomination of the
Cincinnati candidates, large flag was raised
over Tammany Hall.
The Democrats of the Fourteenth Ward
met at their head quarters, No. 4 Spring
street, immediately after the receipt of news
Of Mr.. Greeley's nomination yesterday, and
organized Fourteenth Ward Democratic
Greeley and Brown Campaign Club. The
proceedings were hearty and spirited. James
j. Slevin was chosen President, Thomas
Mcguire and James Smith, Vice Presidents,
| Frederick J. Byrne, Treasurer, and Thomas
w. Maxwell. Secretary.
| The Boulevard Club, of which Sheriff Mat
thew T. Brennan is President, fred one hun
dred guns in honor of the nominations"
| Sheriff Brennan is the Tammany leader
whose gross frauds we lave recently exposed
and who was defended on Tuesday last in the
| Tribune. "Scratch me and Ill scratch you,
is the motto of II. G. His organ goes on to
tel US
commissioner Manierre, during the ses-
sion Of the Health Board, received n dispatch
announcing the nomination of Mr.. Greeley.
Commissioner Barr, amid laughter by his
colleagues, moved that the matter be referred
to the Sanitary Committee, on the ground
that support of Greeley was an epidemic that
was rapidly spreading. President Bosworth
ruled the resolution out Of order"
Ben. Manierre is one of the worst Of the
old Tammany gang, and is more responsible
for the decentralization of the New York Po-
lice force than any one man. We continue
our quotations:
"An impromptu ratification meeting Of the
Tenth Ward NJ. Il. Brennan Association was
held last night at the hall No. l0l Hester
street. Several addresses were delivered.
Long Branch, July 10.-A magnificent dis
play of fire works took place tonight in front
Of the Ocean House. under the auspices Of
Frank Leslie, in honor of the nomination of
Greeley and Brown at Baltimore.
Frank Leslie is the owner and publisher Of
an infamous and obscene publication called
Days Doinys, from which source he makes
money to spend in FIRE works for Greeley.
Few men alive have done more to debauch
the morals of the young than Frank Leslie,
by means of his indecent publications.
The above is evidence taken, be it remem-
bered, from Greeley's own organ. How do
the true Democrats and honest Rcformers
like the leaders in the Greeley campaign p
