Gratis and "liberals" have nominated VIM. W.
Warren, of Brighton, for congress, and Vim.
SchOuler, of West Roxbury, for elector.
F.W. Ludwig, democratic and "liberaP can
didate for alternate elector, in the Missouri
| seventh district, has written letter withdraw
| ing his name from the ticket, and saying that
| his experience of the "liberal" movement has
| convinced him that it is his duty to support the
| republican party and its nominees.
| A dispatch from Northwestern Ohio saws:
"SOme indication of the character of the coali-
| ton "relorm canvass in this part of Ohio may
be gathered from the fact that two of the most
prominent Greeley stumpers were Jim" Ash
ley, the corrupt renegade, and "Jim" Steedman,
the defaulter and gambler"
Hon. E. lockwood Hoar was nominated for
congress 1.-THE long term) by the republican
convention which met in Lowell, Tuesday On
the first ballot he had SO votes to 40 for DIR.
James c. Aver, of Lowell. &C Esty, of Franz

At public discussion in Virginia, between
Mosby and extra Billy" Smith, Smith denied
the kuklux outrages, and cursed the law against
them. In reply, Mostly read Tribune editori-
al, written by Greeley few days before the
passage of the law, in which he said that there
had been five thousand negroes killed in South
Carolina by the kuklux during Grants admin
istratlon, and mot single white man had been
punished for it." "Now," said Mosby, Govern
or, tell me candidly, did Greeley tell lie or the
truth when he wrote thatP Smith, Jumping
up, foaming and Taving, said: "He told a id
lie" He saw that if he admitted the truth of
what Greeley had told over and over he would
have justified Grant for executing the law; so
he preferred to hold up his own candidate as a
liar II is needless to say that the republicans
exploded about that time
Geo. W. Julian Jared disastrously the other
day, at the hands of William Baxter, one of his
old Quaker supporters. Mr.. Julian appears TO
have entangled himself badly in a web of false.
hoods. In speech at Richmond, Indiana. Mr..
Baxter quoted of the speech delivered by Julian
at Newport, in which he claimed that he could
have been nominated for congressman at large
for the present campaign, if he had desired it;
and to prove the falseness of this, Mr. Baxter
read letter from Julian bidding for that very
nomination. He also read a private letter writ
ten MN by Julian, giving reasons why he (BaX-
ter should be nominated for the legislature as a
temperance candidate, and urging his accept
ance. He next read a letter from Harmon b.
Payne TO Julian, asking if he had favored and
urged Bakers nomination, and then read a |
short letter signed George W. Julian, totally |
and emphatically denying his connection with |
Baxter's nomination, and prououncing the ru. |
NOR an entire falsehood
CIvILTY ON CoMPULsIoN.-Ac correspondent |
of the st. John Telegraph, who is travelling in |
Scotland, tells this story:
AS we came through Glen Arklet to Invers. |
maid we had TO pass gate. An old lady at the |
lodge came out to open it. Ere she put the kew |
in the keyhole, she said
"Say, Open this gate, please"
"What for~
Because you cannot go along here if you
don't"
How is that2"
at belongs to the duke of Montrose, and he
would only let the road be made on condition
that all foot-passengers should say these words.
Those who won't say them have to 20 by the |
upper road, now unused and almost mpass-
able"
"Oh, well, we'll say please open the gate, Or |
open the gate, please; or, the gate open please;
dukeship, you please. We think it will be |
better than going by a rough, impossible |
route"
On this tine gate swung open, and we went on |
thinking OF the many lessons in politeness |
which have been and will be taught at that gate |
to all who for wears have passed or will pass |
thereby.
