DUCKALEw will run lchind his ticket
in every county in the State. Reason.
his personal unpopularity in his own party.
He is cold and selfish aristucrat, with no
personal sympathy with labor or lahoring
men "A character not calculated to- wakru
much enthusiasm even among those who
entertain similar political opinions.
WHILE Mr.. BUCKALEw SAYS NAME
words for himself, he uttcrs none in favor
Of Greeley. Governor aud President are
evidently independent candidates 1T his
mind, and each is To fight his own battle.
This may work well in October, if the
Grcclcyites are will supplied With faith, -,
but after November they will howl ms they
are now doing in Vermont and Maine
Information las been received at the

LET any dcceG. man look at the charges
made against General llartranit in the De
mocratic and guerilla journals of the city
and StatG-loOk nj them and look into them
and then say if they ever saw SO childish
SO humiliating an attempt to blacken Il
good mans character in the whole course O
/ his life, The attempt is disgustingly trivo
louS, and the men who are engaged in il
ought to be ashamed as they walk tho
streets To look an honest man in the face
The charges are based upon the cxtra-iu,
dicial utlidavts OF lrlonS, ESCAPED thieves
and bogus diploma sellers. But il is all the
same to caumniators. We wish every one
of those who traduce IIartranft and at the
same time pretend TO support Grant, would
throw of the cloak of hypocracy and sup
port Greeley al once. The Republican
party wants no guerilias.
A BRAVE soldier of the war for tho
Union, whose friends were proud to pre-
sent his claims for a responsible county
Office at the late Republican convention
but failed to secure his nomination, il
writing to friend the other day, says
"My friends did not succeed, but no mat
ter for that let lis give tho ticket oul
hearty support, for it is good one, Al
Our little personal disappointments will bC
forgotten a thousand years hence The
great cause for which we fought on til,
battlefield is too sacred to be sacrificed. ;
This is a noble sentiment, and every tru,
man in the county will respond to it,
