Il is useless 10 deny that the republican
party is meeting with more opposition
this fall, than common. There are many
reasons for it, but the principal one is,
disappointment oil Office Seekers ,cithin IL.
The disaffection of Horace Greeley and
Senator Fenton, of New York, it is well
known and beyond dispute, is owing to
their failing to control political appoint
ments in their State, and but for this, the
democratic party would have bsen with
ont n candidate-and so on TO the end OF
the chapter.
But there is no cause for despair. Let
the tried and true men remain firm, and
all will be well. Our country saw dark
er days in tho rebellion, yet triumphed.
In our own State the Greeley detection
ID less than the third party movement
developed for Hichborn, and we triumph
ed, and SO we shall this year. The OPP
position rely upon putting and blowing,
Dragging and lying. and their aim is to
work few liberals into the Legislature,
and reduce Gov. Perhsm's majority so as
To tell on the nation for Greeley.

No Speakers !

The democrats not only yield their
principles and candidate, to get into
power, but they put forth no speakers in
the campaign. The field is given up to
the Liberals, to whose aid alone they
look for success. No discussion of den-
ocratic ideas or notwithstanding for
the democratic masses, but to hear dis
affected, disgruntled republicans rehearse
their griefs and wrongs, and womsn's
rights advocates rant. This must be en-
tertaining, and highly complimentary.
But anything to beat Grant!
