PERKINS ON GREELEY.
The .sLiberaI'' Candidates Strong
Points.

Eli Perkins has come out for Greeley,
and promises to be the strongest adhe-
rent the latter has got. 1t will be seen
by the following from the New York
C6mmcrcjaz Adoertjser, which is Perkins
s.home organ, that he is a very valu-
able acquisition
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, May 4
am for Greeley!
The Commercial may not be for him,
but Eli Perkins is going to support
Horace.
We have nominated Mr.. Greeley on
the g-e-l-O-r-i-O-u-s DemOCratic-rcpubli-
can platform, and now my friends we
must elect him. Our candidate is man
of a great many principles. He has been
on both sides of almost every political
question. and there is such chance for
our orators.
Listen to me and I'll tell you how VIC
can elect Mr.. Greeley:
l. For the New England States we
must instruct our orators to talk the
high tariff dodge. They must show M.
Grealey's record. and point out how he
has always stood for the highest protec-
tive tax on cloth, hOOp-Skirts. and OrO-
idle watches. and favored keeping for
eicn cheap articles out of the market.
Then how the Yankee manufacturer
will 90 for him, but
Out west you fhust lay low on the tar
iff. You must say that Horace has TOnc
back on protection, and that he don't
care a darn about it. for the western fell
lows hate the New England shOcmakers
like the devil. Our western orators
must say that Horace will leave the
tariff question to COngress-fOr Won
know well enough that he is head and
ears for the present high tariff, and that
when he is President he can veto any
act of Congress to repeal it. The ives
tern fellows will catch at this ambigu-
Gus dodge, and they will all 90 for Ilor-
ace like political sheep
2. To the respectable old slave-own-
e,,s of the South, read Greeley's old 1882
editorials about compensation to Own
ers for Emancipated Slaves" but
That national slave-buyinT idea would
Kill us with the old New England aboli-
tionists. To them read Greeley's defense
of John RrOwn-his editorials on Sha'p's
rifles for Kansas sIave-OWncrs-an say
how he stood for Owen Lovcioy. This
will take such men as Gerritt Smith,
| Fred. Douglass and Mr.. Baecher.
3. For the old southern spccss;0nists
| like Alex. Stephens, Jeff Davis and
Wade Hampton, rcpub)ish Horace's edi-
tOrial. Let the WayWard Sisters 90 in
Peace" If this don't satisfy them that
our candidate is sound on secession, read
them the sentiment which Mr.. Greeley
wrote in 1860: IF any respectable
number Of the citizens Of a State desire
/ to secede from the government | know
/ of no power which can or ought to res
/ train them" That will satisfy any rea-
/ sOnable seccssiOnist that in case Mr..
/ Greeley becomes President he can walk
straight out of the Union without being
/ troubled by such men as Gen. Grant.
4. To the lovers of peace say that our
/ candidate went to Niagara Falls to treat
with Jake Thompson and c. C. Clay in
regard to acknowledging the independ-
ence of the South, and that he came
back and wrote advising Lincoln, after
/ Harrison's Landing, to ''make peace
upon the best attainable terms, but
To the war men talk about Mr.. Gree
lev's con to Richmond"
s. Fool the editors into believing that
| Horace is a great farmer, and
Make the farmers believe that he is a
great editor Neither will suspect the
dodge.
6. Prove to the Mormons and the peO-
pie Of the Oneida Community how our
candidate was once a FOurierite, and
that he leaned toward and wrote Tor
/ free-lOvcism for years, but
To sensible married people say that
Mr.. Greeley is regularly married, and
that he can show his certificate Of mar
rage any time in the Irjb1tne office.
7. To the cold water people tell the
story how our candidate lived for years
on vegetables, such as cabbages turnips
and sQuashes without mOuthful Of
meat, but
To the high livers say that everybody,
from Dean Richmond down to Lord
! Gordon, have bought him with a free
lunch, and that a good beefstcak would
buy foreign ministership.
s. To orthodox religi0nists say our
| candidate belongs to the Uniyersa!ist
church, but
To the world fellows say that he
swears like trooper, and damns every
body in common conversation like Il
| Flanders soldier.
g. To the Office holders say Mr..
Greeley never declined an office, that he
has run for office eleven times, but has
always been defeated, and that he split
| off from his best friends, Weed and Sew
ard, because they did not give their
'iunior partner" the New York post
Office, but
To the ''outs" say-why say Horace
never held an office in his life-that he
wouldn't; but don't draw this dodge too
strong, for they might look up his old
! letters to Seward-and-
Don't say a word about !. Gouid'S
presenting Horace with a farm, nor tell
/ bow he was in the tobacco business with
/ Tweed, but slet his enemies bring that
out
Always flourish Mr.. Greeley's quota
tons. You viii find they cover both
sides of every question. If they doubt
your word, say You lie, yillain-yOu
lie ?" To the specie payment fellows
read this;
"The way to resume is to resume"
| Ii. Greeley.
If they contradict you, bring up his
favorite saying, which will quiet them
at once:
s'When a fool speaks keep silence"
! Horace Greeley.
THE PITTsTowN SUSPECTED MURDER
ER.-The Troy Press thus describes
/ Christopher Andrew, the man under
arrest for the murder of Peter Ray, at
Pittstown, n. Y:
He is a slim man, a little taller than
average. He is--the only son of the late
Job Andrew of Tomhannock, man of
great mental ability, who would have
made a powerful lawyer if he had been
well educated. He practiced law in the
Justice courts for twenty-five years or
more. He was also something of a far
mer and latterly merchant. Every
| body knew esquire Job. twenty-five
/ years ago Christopher Andrew, com
monty called Kit Andrew, was very
handsome young man, dressed neatly
and might have been respected and
worthy man but
RUM DID THE JOB FOR HIM.
