himself to very severe comment by the

He decliaed to serve, saying that he had
important business to attend to in Indi-

that Mr.. VOORHEES, did not wish to hurt
General Grants brother-in-law Casey.
Mr.. Voorhees, read an extract from
Grants organ in Washington, and rose
TO personal explanation in the
House. He made a carefully prepared
speeeh against Horace Greeley say
inc that he preferred General Grant
f. Greeley for President Mr.. Voor-
hees colleagues Indignantly repudiated
his sentiments, and Robert b. Roose-
velt declared that Mr.. Voorhees, had
recently had an interview with General
Grant Mr.. Voorhees, answered that be

White House for three years. This as
sertion, it will be seen, does not NEE
Mr. Roosevelts charge That Voor

Ben BUTLER thus wrote of Grant in
1867:
We are, fear, to try the experiment
again that we did with johnson, |. e.,
nominate a man for supposed ayaila-
bility, without knowing his principles or
fitness. Grants election will be mis-
fortune, because it will put in man
without head or heart; indifferent to
human sufferings and impotent to govern.
Butler is now Grants right hand man.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-An alarm of fire yester-
day was caused by the singular accident of a
child's veil taking fire at the altar of the
church at the corner of Desplains and Dekoven
streets during the ceremony. A panic was
caused by the cry Of fire, and rush was made
for the open air. The scene was indescribably
wild. men, women and children being hustled
together in one mass of frantic humanity. No
one was killed, and the little girl who was the
innocent cause of the panic escaped compara-
lively unhurt.

GRANT is reported to regard the Gree
ley movement as hinge joke. His
friend Forney has attempted to correct
the error, but in vain. Grant thinks
that for every Republican vote Greeley
will get, he will get Democratic vote.
That is an illustration of the infatuation
the man is laboring under. Looking
through military glasses he cannot per-
ceive how a man with the army and navy
at his back can be defeated. Perhaps
he may learn.

ONWARD TO THE END.

The Greeley movement is quietly but
surely drifting into the proportions of a
great, irresistible nation upheaval. 1t
is now too large for any man or set OF
men to control. 1t is like the food that
knows no law but that of gravitation.
1t will bear down all opposition and pro-
coed to the consummation Of its break
ing loose. 1t is in vain that Democrats
with bruises on their heads and disap-
pointment in their hearts rise up and
utter the wild scream of party, or
Democracy" We say once for all
that if leaders Of the Democratic party
succeed in diyerting the Democratic peo-
pie from the support of Greeley, the
party will deserve to die and be buried
out of sight. These leaders have
for three years rained fire and brim-
stone upon the administration, and have
nut their denunciations Of it in the su-
perlative degree Compared to Grant,
Greeley, before he was nominated, was
a. saint. Let the people look these
leaders full in the face, and say to them;
We know no party when the country is
in peril, and we have an opportunity
now to overthrow those who imperil it,
and we will embrace it. Party names
have ceased to charm. If Grants con-
duct in Office is preferable to the plat
form of principles upon which Greeley
would administer the government, and
that is Democracy according to the
Voorhees, and Belmont Interpretation OF
it. then we say down with it. If disaf-
fected men at Nashville or in other parts
of the State wish to try the expert
ment Of an organization against Greeley
and Brown, let them try it. No mat
ter if they have been illustrious in
our political annals; no matter If their
names have been honored and rung
around every hearthstone in the State,
when they attempt to fasten Grant upon
the people for four more years of sorrow
and suffering, the people will trample
them and their names and fame into the
earth. There is to be no trifing, and
no man, however loved in the past, will
be honored if he now Gomez walking
down to our time with Grant and Butler
under his arm. The people know no
men now, except as opponents of prin-
ciples and policies. If ambitious per-
sons think they can defeat Governor
Brown, let them by all means make
the experiment. We can give them
no sort of assurance that their fu-
nerals will be numerously attended,
or that they can muster up the
usual number of pall-bearers. We have
listened to the mocking-bird until we
grew weary of its song. We have looked
upon the face of a beautiful woman I'M
til we longed for a change-longed to
look upon the face of an ugly one. Too
much beauty or too much music. is not
good for every day. And so the people
have wearied of hearing the triangle
bursts of party music, and of looking
upon the beautiful blazonry of party
flags. They want something substantial,
and they intend to have it. They mean
to overthrow that monstrous, wicked
power at Washington, and woe to him
who attempts to head them off with cries
Of Democracy" or party" He will
be ruthlessly trampled under foot.
