canvass for the republican national ticket. His

Referring to President Grant, Mr.. Greeley
said last year: "That he has made some mis-
takes in appointments. 1t would be strange
indeed if one so inexperienced in the conduct Of
political affairs had wholly escaped them.
While asserting the right of every republican to
his untrammelled choice of candidate for next
president, until a nomination is made venture
TO suggest that General Grant will be far better
quahtied for that momentouS trust in 1872 than
he was in 1865" Yet, since his own fortuitouS
nomination as a rival candidate by the Cincin-
matt and Baltimore conventions, saws Mr.. Gar
rison, Mr.. Greeley has been actiN ely occupied
IN impeaching the patriotism and staining the
character OF President Grant as a man totally
unworthy of the confidence or respect of the
American peoplel In addition to this baseness
and treachery, his special organ, the Tribune,
Is daily filling the air with the iouleSt accuSa-
tons against the president, and exhibiting
m eanness and malignity toward him utterly
despicable
A Washington letter in the Boston Globe eX-
poses a characteristic plot of the Greeley oper
atorS, of which, it is said, Senator Fenton is
chief manager. The letter says; 'tSeeator Fen
ton has for some time past been engaged in an
effort to capture the Louisville convention for
Greeley. Delegates in that interest have been,
it is reported, elected at various points in Vir-
ginia. One part of the scheme has been to en-
deavor to prove that republican managers here
and in New York are sustaining BantOn Dun
with money i'm order do this. Some OF
Eenton's employees of the liberal congressional
committees here wrote to and called upon Judge
Edmunds, secretary of the republican commit
tee, giving false names, and asking, as elected
delegates TO the Louisville convention, for aid III
procuring passes or money to pay their way.
To carry out their deception, voters of the
straight-out democracy were said to be chosen
at Il meeting at which Louisville delegates were
elected, and their insertion in the city papers
procured, No such meeting was held, and the
accounts were written at the Fenton committee
room. The pretended delegates then called
on Mr.. Edmunds, asking for documents and
money, giving him false names. Two letters
were written TO him, asking for the above. They
were furnished with campaign pamphlets,
showing "what Greeley knows about demo-
Gratis" and similar matters, but were distinctly
told the republicans had no money for such
purposes. The liberal conspiratOrs made an
appointment on Saturday evening with Mr.. Ed
mundS, to which the latter went with witness
AItpT INC tOuuuGuNG ldlh WAS ONti, lutsllutldls
were astounded by being addressed by their
right names and having to listen to full his
tory of the deception. Not content with this
expose it is now stated that they have, to-day,
manufactured a story to telegraph tonight TO
| Greeley organs, charging that the congressional
| republican committee is furnishing the democrats
| documents and paying the fare OF delegates to
Louisville. The truth of such statement can be
seen from the above"
A letter from Hon. Samuel i. Axtell, for two
terms the influential and able democratic men,
Der of congress for the San Francisco district, in
which he takes strong ground in favor of Grant
and Wilson, is published in the Akron (Ohio)
Beacon. Mr.. Axtell says at is true, as you
imagine, thatI have not sold out to the Cincin-
natl cabal, nor have stood the Baltimore trans
fer. l have voted with the democratic party for
more than twenty years, but this is the first
time was ever invited by them to vote for po
litical opponent upon platform formed By po-
litical opponents. At that point deem that
party allegiance ceases; and being free TO
choose, find myself limited to two candidates
OF these two | have had most opportunity to
observe General Grant | saw something of
him as general of the army, acting
secretary Of war under johnson, and during
the first two years Of his presidency.
He was the same man all the time; cool, self
reliant and well posted upon men and measures.
| am sure he is truthful and consistent. | am
sure he can be known as well in the dark as in
the light. Undoubtedly he makes mistakes, but
| cannot believe that he is wilfully corrupt. He
will make better president for four years to

ton since certain factous and impracticable
men have left him. | have no hestancy in say
ing that believe that it will be for the best in
terests Of our country that he should be con-
tinued in Office for another term. From the
peculiar combinations made to sustain Mr.
Greeley, it appears impossible that his admins
tration could be harmonious or consistent.
