Reasons for Voting for Gre clcy.

ministratiOn aud We see no other way
to get it,
. Because he received the unani-
nous nomination Of the regular, we'll
qualified representatives Of the Demo-
cratic party.
8. Because he is more intelligent,
and quite us honest US Grant. On the
score of honesty, the Radicals cannot
justly claim any superiority for their
candidate,
4 Because he has some heart, and
feels for the suileriugs uthis fellow men;
whereas, Grant is u selfish, cold bloodcd
man, without such heart.
b Because Greeley has pledged
himself to Il course Of action in har.
mouy with the principles Of the Demo.
cratic party, anu in no other way than
By his election can the people now
hope to see them once more in the as.
ceudaut
6 Because Grant, und the party who
handles him, or whom he haudles, il
makes little difference which, have
shown, uumistakably, that thay do moi
intend to allow our brethren to be fire.,
men, or the Southern states to have any
real sovereignty. or any rights such Al
States should possess.
I, Because Grant, and his men
forming the Grant Government, have
exhibited before the whole world the
> mcanest spirit ever shown by a greu
Government. They cannot disgrac,
the American people, but they have
disgraced themselves. and lowered ouI
peoples gorGTment 10 the estimation o
fair men among all nations
s. Because Grant, and his tools, u
unsCrupulousus himself, have sent horde
Of Radical thieves into the homes o
our Southern brothers and robbed then
of their pittance left by the war, unt
: involved them in vast debts, in th,
most burefaccd and outrageous man
ncr.
= 0. Because Grant, and bis men, hav
no respect for tho people, North o
South, caring only for what they cal
make of them; whereas, Greeley i
7 himself one Of the working men, an,
alive to their feelings, and both kin,
and considerable.
10. Because the best men among th
Radical leaders, who kmov Grant, hav
pronounced him unfit to be the ruler o
a free people.
II. Because he makes self and hi
own personal greed and qualification
primary, and the affairs of the Govern
ment mere plaything, and cntircl
secondary,
II. Because he appoints men to pub
lie offices who are unfit, and dishonest
knowing them to be SO, and retain
them to tue serious injury of the peO
pies pockets.
10. Because Grants politics" huv
been simply ridiculous. He came int
the office with the public declaration
that he had mo policy" whereas hi
whole action, from beginning 10 end
has been but a succession Of Gran
policies.
II. Because his San Domingo polio,
is not dead, but sleeping; and in cas-
of bic recollection it will be put througI
by his tools as surely as the sun shines
and it is notorious that it isa wickc,
schcmc-uOthing more than corrup
and most dangerous Grant job.
10. Because Greeley, nominated a
he has been, and supported as he vii
be, by the well disposed ms Of thl
United States, will naturally rail-
around him the best men, and sccur
an honest administration Of the Gov
: ernmcnt.
IL Because We can stand an hon
est administration of the Government
II Because, although Greeley as a
editor has, through long political III
opposed many of the principles of th
Democratic party, our nominating Con
ventiOn has satisfied itself that he i
now ready to harmonizc with them upo
the great measures vital to our coun
try's prosperity, and tho existence c
free Government.
IS. Because we have ever since Il,
war condemned tho policy inauguratel
BY the dominant Radical party as inim
ical to the true interests Of tho South
ern States, whilst Grant not only sup
ports it but nggravutos it by his mill
tary tyranny over them
10. Because Greeley condemns thi
tyrannical and wicked course, ant
stands ready to discard it from GU
Government as a disgrace to mOdCrl
civilization.
20. Because there is nothing what
ever, no policy and no act Of our gov
ernmcnl more important, more fraugh
with high consequences in the imme
tinte and distant future than the rea
determination of the North and tn
! South.
81. Because such fratcrDizatiun, un
der the rule Of Grant and his men is AZ
inpossibility; while under the actor
of Democratic principles it will be ,
certainty, speedily realized
%. Because Greeley is willing t,
learn, while Grant is VIGOROUSLY, a.
well as childishly, stubborn aud mul.
ish.
90. Because, if these or any Of these
