" Warrington . on Greeley.

Mr.. w. s. Robinson, the well-known cores
pondent Warrington" Of the Springfield Re
publican, publishes the following pithy letter in
that paper It will be observed that he takes
but little stock in Greeley
EDWARD ATKINSON, ESQ Dear Sir II gladly
signed the Massachusetts, paper urging republic
cans to go to Cincinnati, although ! thought the
convention was called upon wrong basis and
should have been union of all in favor OF a re-
form in the politics of the country. The " con-
sutntion has been held, and has resulted in q
failure to make nominations which give any
promise of reformation. Those who went 10
Cincinnati mainly to make a protest against an
absurd theory OF political economy, which is at
the bottom OF a great share of our corrupt and
unequal legislation, national and state, find a
candidate provided for them who is, more than
any other man in the country, responsible for the
spread of the delusion. Those who went there
to protest against personal government, the chief
vice of the Grant administration, find themselves
asked to support man who, as politician, is
: simply the head Of faction Of the republican
party in New York. Those who went there be-
lieying that nomination would be made which,
ii ratified, would change for the better the civil
service, in its higher as well as its lower grades
find candidate placed in the field whose follow
ing is mainly personal and who, even it person
ally honest himself, invariably acts upon prnci-
Piles which make nine men out of ten rogues, Oh
the victims OF roguery from whose election Oh
support, therefore, no reform in the civil service
can be expected. Those who went there simply
to " beat Grant" find themselves confronted will
no alternative but the election of Grant, OF thu
regular democratic candidate, either Of thes,
hap-hazard results to be effected by the persona

corruption and blunders Under the circumstan
ces which call forth this wall from one of you
