WORCESTER
SATURDAY. SEPT. rs. 1879.


IL IS with great pleasure that we announce
this morning the denomination of Hon. Geo. F.
Hoar as the republican candidate for congress
from this district Mr.. Hoar would have pre-
ferred, as his friends knew, to retire from con-
gress at the expiration of his present term; but
he yields to the universal wish of his constitu-
ents, who are sure that no one whose services
they could command would bring to the duties
Of the office such eminent fitness, or would have
so fully the respect and confidence of his col
leagues and OF the country. Mr. Hears service in
/. congress, although short as YET, has given him
national reputation. He is known as a ready and
effective dcbaier, an industrious and competent
man Of business, faithful beyond the possibility
of being doubted tc every political and personal
obligation. In all these respects he is recog-
nized as one of the foremost men in the national
legislature, and his constituents have reason for
their belief that except in length of service, he
is in no way inferior to any one of the able and
influential representatives from Massachusetts.
The district is also honored in having as its rep
resentative in the electoral college a gentleman
so thoroughly deserving of respect as Mr.. Sails
bury. The duties of the Office have
been made by custom merely formal
and perfunctory. The elector is only
the hand which deposits the ballot placed
IN it by the people for that purpose; but it has
long been customary to choose for this office
gentlemen of worth and dignity, who by long
and honorable service in public stations or 9TH
erwise had established a title to the affection and
respect Of their fellow citizens, although gener-
ally, we believe, they had never been, or had
ceased to be prominent in partisan politics
This custom the convention recognized yester-
day in the nomination of Mr.. Salisbury

The Council ofpolitica reform" of New York
city, composed of good citizens of both parties,
is called by the Tribune "Grant campaign Or
ganization." Ii was this organization that ac-
complished the overthrow Of Tammany at the
polls last November, which accounts for the
Tribune's anmosity. The president, VIM. II.
Nelson, a prominent banker, is lifelong dem

The republican primaries were held in New
Haven Wednesday night, and in each Of The
seven wards there was a considerable attend.
ance of democrats. In the first ward there were
thirty democrats, and they said by their spokes-
man that they had always been with the demo-
Gratis, but this fall had determined to vote for
Grant, and asked to be received as democratic
Grant men. In the other wards number Of
democrats took part 1t is predicted that there
will be very general detection OF democrats in
that city, and there are few Greeley republicans.
Last Tuesday night, the Greeley and Brown
club of the tenth New York assembly district
formally voted to renounce Greeley and Brown
and constitute itself Grant and Wilson club.
After the motion to make this change was reg
nlary stated to the meeting, il was discussed
about two hours, there beng a small minority
against it, il was carried by a triumphant
vote, and the GreeeyteS left the room amid IL
storm of cheers for Grant and Wilson.

Other Correclions Nceded.

Inc Springfield Republican of Friday cor
reefs one false statement, as follows:
On quoting freely from the press and stumps
OF both parties, the Republican assumes no re-
sponsDity for the statements of its political
selections. But in this way credence has been
given among our readers 10 the error that both
Speakers Blaine and ColiaX made Mr. Cakes
Anes chairman of the Pacific railroad COM
mittee."
The editor Of the Republican, as well as its
readers, appear TO have been misled by these
very questionable selections At any rate, the
following appeared in one of the editorials of
that journal;
Mr.. ColfaX at length denies Cakes Ames.
And he may thank his stars that he has in this
emergency that stout good name of his TO fall
back upon SO compacently, when we consider
how, during his speakership, this same Ames
was Kept at The head Of the Pacific railroad com
mittee, and never missed Gre once in carving
his projects through congress- brides or no
bribes."
It's now admitted that Mr. Ames was never
at the head Of that committee, but there is some
thing more which demands correction. There
is a very gross and scandalous terror in the
closing lines Of the extract last quoted, which
assert thar Mr.. Ames "never missed fire once in
carrying his projects through congress, brides
or no bribes." Il is dangerous to draw on ones
imagination for facts, especially when the vaga-
ries Of a demoraized Imagination can be so
readily exposed by authentic records. Now, it
is fact easily verified by the record, that there
was no legislation Of congress, Of any sort, in
regard 10 the Union Pacific railroad, between
te time when Mr.. Ames FIRST became connected
win II ana the time when the road was finished;
nor afterwards while Mr.. Ames was a member

MIR. Greeley on the SUNNI.

We notice that Mr.. Greeley's electioneerng
tour is regarded, by many of his leading sup
porterS, with no little repdaton. He has de
lNered great number of speeches, but has said
nothing to rouse any organ of the coalition" to
enthusiasm, nothing that has led any ofthem to
shout over his utterauces and proclaim them as
helpful agencies in the canvass or as evidences
Of his fitness for the presidency. On the con
trary, the New York World criticises Mr. Gree.
ley's speeches; very gently, of course, saying by
way of preliminary: at is not our purpose to
criticise Mr.. Greeley, but to interpret him."
And it interpets him TO mean by amnesty" the
democratic view of ''centralism." There are
some things in the speeches, which the World
will not, just now, venture even to interpret.
There eau be no reasonable doubt that Mr..
Greeley broke away from the supervision of his
political advisers when he started on this west
ern electioneering tour. He can not rid himself
of the belief that his name is a mighty power
among the people, 1t was this thar made him
so confident, when he yielded himself up to the
idea OF becoming a candidate for the presidency.
He was sure that great crowds of republicans
would follow him eagerly into a league with the
democrats; but, what he was so sure of has not
been realized. The elections in Vermont and
Maine brought him sore disappointment; and
he felt, doubtless, that, if he had shown him
self more freely and delivered more speeches, the
result might have been different. At any rate,
he resolved to swing round the western
circle with more effect. Therefore, he has
journeyed through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana, delivering speeches a: nearly all the
railway stations, and attempting grand demon.
strations at Cincinnati, indianapolis, and sundry
other places. Some of these speeches, in which
he distributed the credit mobilier ISLANDERS
and adopted the lowest style of eectioneerng
talk against his opponents, are as remarkable
in their way as the ''circle" speeches of Andy
johnson. What would be said, if General
Grant should take the stump and talk for him
self in that way2 Meanwhile, there is no sign
of the great effect he hoped TO produce. The
expected crowds of republicans are not visible
in his train, and are not likely to be. On the
other hand, republicans in the states he visited,
claim that his speeches have render ed them
importont aid.
One noteworthy peculiarly of his speeches is
that when he appeals to any matter of public
policy, to anything that has been done to pro-
mote the welfare of the nation, he quotes what
has been done by the republican party, but with
out naming that party. 1t was the republican
party that made certain that we are to be one
people, that abolished slavery, and that inaug-
urated the new era Of our national development
prosperity, and history; and when he appeals
TO any part of this great work, with approval
he rebukes his own position as democratic can,
didate for the presidency. The democratic

Messrs. W. w. Burr, President; j. B. Dales, Cor
responding Secretary of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the United Presbyterian Church,
Philadelphia;
Genttemen;-Your letter under date of the
18th OF August, covering letter dated the 18th
of the preceding month from the Rev G. Lam
sing and his associates, missionaries in Egypt,
was received at this department yesterday. You
refer to communication addressed by you to
the president, under date of 25th of October,
1871, and by him referred to this department.
The receipt of this communication was acknowl-
edged by my letter to you of the 31st of October
In that letter were mentioned the steps that had
to be taken for an inquiry into the matters
winch gave rise TO your communication. You
were informed that an agent of the treasury de-
partment had been appointed to make an inves-
tgation, and that when his report should be re-
celyed, 1t would be maturely considered in con-
necuOn with other papers relating to the case.
The course thus laid down has been followed,
and the result has become known TO the public
through the usual channels of communication
The late consul general at Alexandria was sus-
pended on the 22d of July, and Mr.. Richard
Beardsley was appointed in his place, and sailed
from New York for his post of duty during the
following week. This statement of facts, il is
believed, will dispose of the subject presented by
the missionaries in Egypt, in their letter of the
10Th oil July, now brought to the attention of the
