u" Swinging Round the
Circ1e.n

The Grant papers throughout

accepting the invitation given
him to address the Industrial

IGNORED him with spontaneous
ovations, that ecIipsed uny thing
OF the Kind ever tcnGcrrd to any
man. on the continent. Yes such
papers think it a great scandal
that Mr.. Greeley should do So.
and for the reasons: First, That
it las demonstrated the affection
of the people for MIR. Greeley.
Second-It has shown MIR.
Greeley's great popularity In the
west.
Third-It has revealed Mr..
Greeley's great ability, natural
and acquired, in a manner hith-
erto unknown.
Fourth-The trip has greatly
strengthened the Liberal cause,
and correspondingly weakened
the Grant cause.
(Which Is why" these papers
take on SO about it. They forget
that while they would not allow
Mr.. Greeley to travel at his own
expense and meet his fellow cit
zens, that Gen. Grant accepted
an invitation and attended the
New York Exposition, where he
made a speech of which they are
all ashamed when compared with
Greeley's at Cincinnati. And not
only this, but they have sent out
the entire Cabinet, with one ex-
ception, from Washington to the
west, all being under pay at the
peoples expense, to try to sustain
their Lord and MASTER
While these political saints say
hey "can't eat crow" they have

The struggle between good

and constantly renewed; but ne

the Grant candidate for Governor,
is covered all over with the proof
of official vil!iany. Never before
was a man nominated for any i'm
p%ortant office in this country,
against whom the evidence was
SO clear and damning! When
such II man is elected Governor,
it then becomes possible to take
any convicted felon out Of the
Penitentiary and have the people
elect him to any office in which
the party managers may desire to
have hum placed. The success of
such a man proves that in Penn
sylvania the distinction between
and wrong is nc longer res
garded as ofthe least Importance,
and that public plumber and uni
versal fraud from the sole object
of the special means of. govern
the State.
We know that the Grant man
ayers feeling unable to gain this
election fairly, made extensive
arrangements to carry 1T by fraud

In this they have succeeded, be-
cause the people are so far COZ
SO weak in moral purpose,

courage, that any set of rich and

1t isn't at all nice or truthful
for Messrs. Wilson, Colfax,

to deny that they received no

What a year of contradictions
and going back on records this is
Here is Wendell Phillips, who
never favored a man that was
elected or a cause that succeeded,
and who has abused General
Grant worse than any an in the
country, now turning himself in
side out to re-elect him. A year
agJ W. P. talked in this way:
"Every man knows that each
Senator who voted for Mr.. Sum-
ner's removal did so solely be-
cause the President had let him
understand that only on that con
dition could he hope to have any
influence in securing office for
his friends. The President
has bought off his opponents by
refusing all winter to listen, in
the matter of appointments, to
the recommendations of any
member of Congress who voted
with MI. Sumner. The poor
est memory will need but little eff
fort to recall the very Embassy
that bought a Keystone vote
the Judgeship which won a VOL
verine-and the herring-post that
made another Senator put on the
Domingo collar. OF course,
when a party becomes merely a
to divide the spoils, it
touches its downfall. 1t is sad
to think that the power OF a great
should have fallen into the
hands of such low, mercenary
selfshness."

The Georgia Election.

What has been done in Georgia
will decide the movement of the
entire South. From this day
forth the Radicals may as well
understand that no Southern
State is to be counted upon by
them in the struggle for the Pres
idcncy, save, perchance, South
Carolina and Mississippi. In
those States their carpet-bag a.
gents possess the advantage OF
such a control of theignorant ne
gro population that it will doubt
less be difficult to prevent them
from stealing the electoral vote
of commemorative, the treasures
of which it has been found impos-
sible to prevent them from plum
dering. But if we concede this
much to the force oftYranny and
corruption in South Carolina and
Mississippi, there yet remains as
assured to the Liberal and Demo
cratic tickets by the splendid re
suit of Tuesdays voting in Geor-
gia the following States with
