Too OLD. Horace Greeley stated
recently that he was "too old to re-
main in the Republican National Conn
mittee, and for that reason requested
that his name be stricken from the list.
The people will inform him that he is
s'too old" to ever have his name entered
on the list of Presidents of the Uuited
States
Gratz Brown says of Horace Greeley:
ITO write three columns a day six days
in the week. and be.so little of fool,
is craftsmanship. GRATIS ideas of |
what constitutes craftsmanship are a
little peculiar, as, for instance, his pref
erence for buttered watermelon.
The Philadelphia Press thinks the
Cincinnati nominations will make the
coming campaign a good natured one.
Anything butfu and jollity in the pres
ence of that old white coat and philo-
sophie physiognomy will be out of char
acter.
1t was very unkind of cotemporary
to say that if Mr.. Greeley were nomi-
mated he would be able to tell next fall
what he knows about ''a big beat
The New York Evening Post is in
consolable over the Cincinnati nomina-
tions, and takes occasion to administer
some hard blows on the philosophers
back. It sums up list of objections to
Greeley thus:
"With such head as is on his Shout
ders, the affairs of the nation could not,
under his direction, be wisely admins
tered with such manners as his, they
could not be administered with common
decorum with such associates as he has
taken to his bosom, they could not be
administered with common integrity.
Very touching is the Commercial Adj
vertiser's description of the prospective
farewell to Chappaqua'' of the modern
Cincinnatus:
Farewell to pastoral ease to rural calm,
Chappaquas frugal gebe and fragrant airs;
Farewell to hooded cabbage, winter rear'd,
The early radish and the vernal leet;
Farewell the glitterng scythe, the subsoil plough.
The cackling fowls and calf-robbed lowing kline.
And you mortal truths that plead to show
What do know of Farming to be counterfeit
Farewell, Greeley's to other occupation gone"
Mr.. Greeley was at work in the Trib-
une office when his nomination was an
nounced. A crowd gathered about the
building and called for a speech, but he
declined to respond,
The indianapolis Journal closes an ar
ticle wherein Horace Greeley's incapac-
ity for the Presidential office is convinc-
ingly portrayed in these words: 1--WE
have no fear that Greeley would steal,
or let anybody else steal, but we have 9
most unmitigable fear that his inveter
ate sense Of capacity for anything under
heaven, from sailing ship to selling
corn, would make him a nuisance"
i The New York World argues that the
n nomination of Greeley at Cincinnati di
q vests the movement of all suspicion o
y having been engineered by Democrats
o and it volunteers the remark that ha,
o Adams or Trumbull or Davis received
the nomination it would have supported
; the ticket. Its logic and sincerity ar
o alike questionable. Doubtless it woul'
) have preferred Adams to Greeley, a
4 promising to produce greater breacl
* in the Republican ranks, but it woul,
l. have found excuse for repudiating tn
v ticket in any event just as it now does
v 1t is only angry that its possumimg ha
# been to so little purpose.
