MONDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1879.
A Miracl'

s..ur,,.v morning the Argus turned its
Iii, mon its past wickedness, threw off its
"a roayad and filthy coat of Democracy and
assumed that of Horace Greeley Republican
ism. No convert was ever SO happy or so
eager to proclaim his reclamation from ma
lures darkness to the marvellous light of truth
as was the Argus. 1t is said that the Joy Oh
convert is proportional to the depth OF DC
pravity from which he is raised TINS possibly
explains the seemingly extravagant ecstacy
of the argus.
To show the wonderful revolution of opin-
ion that the argus has experienced, let us
quote from its columns within the past three
wears. In 1868, n1speaking of the personnel
of the Republican party. 1t says:
Every narrow-minded blockhead (uide Horace
Greeley) who served shis country in loyal
leage.
All the little iusectiverous creatures whom
God in his inscrutable Providence permits to
edit the great majority of radical newspapers
(yide Horace Greeley again
In 1869 the argus adds:
"Greeley seems to think that he is diplomat
list, financier, and almost everything else in
Guiding philosopher of course. He assumes
all of these roles by turns but sticks to none of
them long, or the poverty Of ability would be
only too manifest Hi last tilt was in the fl
nancial line and was about as sorry failure as
was his .free-love Fourierism episode.
In the same article he is styled ''bran bread
philosopher and accused of having 'all the as
surance and swagger of self-crowned vlctorl-
GUS bully
Saturday the Argus says:
Everybody believes him honest, everybody
believes him capable, everybody believes him
faithful totbe constitution the three Jefersonian
tests. He is for reform with all his heart-for
a pure, simple, economical government; and in
his daily life he exhibits the simple virtues of
the early DAYS of the republic.

Tammany Ahead +!

We find it to be the opinion, alike of intel
ligent Republicans and Democrats, that the
nomination of Mr.. Greeley was the result of
a conspiracy, (whose inception dates back
several months) of the Tammany politicians.
1t was not SO much, it is said, the work of
liberal Republicans and Democrats, as of Re-
publcans and Democrats belonging to, or
sympathizing with the Tammany Ring. Fen
ton, Cochrane, "Hank' Smith & Co. on the
one part and the confreres of Sweeney and
Oakley Hall on the other, have been manage
ing and manipulating things ever since it was
determined several months ago to send Gree
ley to Texas on political mission.
Greeley's GOODNESS in the municipal reforms
of New York, his tenderness toward Hall and
others of the Tammany leaders, his notorious
affiliations with and defence of the worst of
the Tammany Republicans, his recent associ-
atoms with men whom a year ago he de-
nounced as corrupt and unworthy of conf
dence and respect, his defence of them, and
his journey in their interest and at their so
licitation to the South, the maneuvres of
Fenton and other of the most VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt politicians of the country, whereby his
nomination was sprung upon the Convention,
have compelled the conviction among our best
informed people that the Cincinnati nominal
ton means, and was organized to mean, the
restoration of Tammany and its transfer to
the national arena.
The Portland daily press., 1872-05-06
Good Men and True.

One would suppose on reading the Demo-
cratic papers that there is at the present time
no man of even average intelligence or hon
esty who holds Office under the Republican
party. There is more reason than there
ought to be for this charge. But
on reflection there appears to be good
ground for believing that there are quite
as many reputable persons among the oft
enumerated "sixty thousand Federal office
holders, as among the people at large, to
say nothing of the sixty thousand Liberal
Republican" and sixty thousand Democratic
office-seekers. And so far as the State gov
ernments are concerned, we believe that
very favorable comparison may be made be-
tween those that have within the last ten
years been controlled by Republicans, and
those that have been SO fortunate as to have
Democratic masters. 1t would be sheer idiocy
of course to undertake to defend every carpet
bag Governor with more taste for railroad
bonds than for the drudgery of practical
administration, every specializing Congress
man whose interest is more fully enlisted in
jobs and rings than in his legitimate duties,
every purckasable State legislator and every
corrupt or inefficient customs officer. But
take our own State, for instance, and,
examining the personnel of all who have
held Office, State and national, since the
Republican party came into power, see how
few names can be found to which even the
shadow of reproach attaches. Take Names
official corps to-day and its members will
stand the test of examination exceedingly
well. Does anybody think that there is in
any part of the country more upright Dem
ocratic or 'sLiberal Republican, executive
than Perham? What Democratic Senators
are there whose record is cleaner and whose
private worth is better established than Ham
Inns or Morrill's? Are there any ADLER men
in Congress, or men who attend more care
fully to the interests of their constituents
than Lynch, Frye, Blaine, Peters and
Hale? 1t must be conceded, that, taking
everything into consideration. Names Con-
gressional delegation averages better than
that of any other State. If we examine the
character of the subordinate officers we find
that it is equally good-in short, as good as
that ofthe better and more intelligent class of
their fellow citizens What Democratic
State can claim so general an exemption from
corrupt and inefficient officials. Can Ken
lucky? What "Liberal Republican" State is
there but must shun comparison? Not Mis-
souri,, surely, or Virginia which saw the first
successful effort to restore the Bourbons
through Liberal Republican agency. Finally,
can any intelligent man, who keeps in view
the history of the past and probabilities of the
future, ego in for a change" honestly expect
ing that the change will be for the better?

The New York Post in referring to the action
OF Mr.. Greeley's friends in overslaughing his
opponents who were there as delegates says:

duce one good result 1t should lead the pres
ent leaders of the Republican party to consider
their responsibilities to the people, to study the
demands of the hour, and TO make their pro-
ceednss at Philadelphia worthy of the present

The Boston Journal says the Cincinnati ticket
has fallen dead from the hands CT its construc-
tors. The surprise with which its announces
ment was almost universally greeted seems to
have been followed in Republican circles by a
jubilant feeling, resulting from a consciousness
that the ticket is the weakest the Cincinnati
pilgrims could have produced; and in Demo-
cratic circles surprise has speedily given way to
regret and disgust; while the free trade element
feels itself betrayed in the house of its friends
Some of the Democratic leaders, hungry for
office, express purpose to support the ticket,
as indicated in our specials from Maine and
New Hampshire, but the regulatory action of
the Democratic members of Congress last eve
ming is a death blow to any hope of a coalition
of Democrats and liberal Republicans ON

WE cannot help having our little laugh at
our staid neighbor, the argus, about its wild
fight Horace Greeley ward. 1t should have
waited until the men who have some princi-
pie in their Democracy had spoken. There
will, however, be no necessity for the Demo-
cratic subscribers to stop the paper for it will
somersault back into line with great prompt
ness. 1t was only mistake arising from ex-
cessive enthusiasm for reform (?) A curious
and instructive spectacle may be looked for
in newspaper gymnastics as the Argus gradu-
ally gyrates back to the normal condition.
Special discretion will probably mark its con-
duct during the rest of the campaign.
