CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The returns from Maine are verv
scattering" just read two lines of
them to the first crowd of Democrats
you meet, and see how quickly they
will scatter.
A special to the Tribune from
Boston, says that Senator Summers
decllnation of the gubernatorial nom
nation is not credited by the Demo-
Gratis and Liberals. Sum- er has been
officially informed by telegraph of
ms nomination, but no answer has
been received.
The Boston Globe saws. awe
are desired TO say that MrH''W Long.
fellows name was used without his
authority by the so.called Liberal Re.
publicans at Worcester. Mr.. Long,
fellow says: II do not vote with
that party"
The Springfield Republican, in
view of the Maine election admits
that it is evident that the tide
OF public feeling is now setting
against the Liberal candidates, aud
that their chances of success will de-
pend upon the introduction of some
new element into the campaign, or
upon some turn Of affairs which will
do as much for them as the last five
weeks have done for their opponents.
The New York Tribune, for the
sake OF beating Grant, has been try
ing to show that the battle of Bel.
mont, the first important action in
which Gen. Grant vas engaged in
the recent war, was defeat for our
arms. The time was when the TYib.
ane claimed the battle of Belmont as
Union victory, and when it said
that Grant never had been beaten
and never would be; but that was
when It's editor was not a candidate
for President against Grant. Alas
to what q low plane the Tribune has
fallen.
The speech of ex-senator Fitch.
of Indiana, at Logansport, on Satur>
day last, was bombshell thrown into
the coalition camp of that state. He
made a strong appeal to Democrats
to support O'Conor instead of Gree
ley. He denounced in severe terms
the corrupt bargaining of the office
seekers at Baltimore. The Greeley
ties OF Indiana are already discour-
aged. The Democratic masses do
not respond to their efforts with any
The opponents of Gen. Dix are
denouncing him as "a cowardly Ma
ior General of poppycock phrases"
General MOrehead's declaration, that
General Grant is no more nor less
than a common loafer," is proving
the most effective campaign docu.
ment of the season in tbs hands of
Grants friends; and it is scarcely
probable that Gen. Dix has anything
to fear from similar assaults
made on BIN. 1t is the assailants
that are not likely to survive them.
On the Inauguration Of President
Grant one hundred dollar United
States bond, paying six per cent. in
terest IN gold, was worth only SS2,72.
Today it is at par. This advance 10
the national credit is due solely to
the frmness, integrity and good
sense with which the finances have
been conducted Could we expect as
much from a President like Horace
Greeley, surrounded by regulators
like Pendleton, thieves like the Tam
many leaders, and wildcat finauciers
such as be would constantly attract
and listen TO, to say nothing Of tho
indefinite claims of his Southern
friends, and own propensity of ex-
perimenting in finance Blue Earth

Preparing to Take Advantage OF
Greeley's Election.
From the pittssurs COMMERCIAL.


Since the nomination of Greeley by
the Confederates, a number Of agents
in the Southern States have com
menced the collection of claims of
persons whose property was taken
for public use or destroyed to facil
tate the operations of the armies Of
the United States, but who are una
BILE to prove loyalty to the Govern
ment owing to their having render
ed aid and comfort to the rebellion.
The dispatches which announce this
fact add that these agents are pro-
ceeding upon the assumption that
Congress will ultimately dispense
with the loyalty clause, and it is
farther stated that the aggregate of
the claims thus collected is already
every large" This simple circum-
stance will interpret the meaning of
the Greeley movement better than
whole pes of abstract argument
could do ; since it shows alike the
nature of the ground on which
he is supported by the whites of the
South. and the reason of the intense
anxiety of the World and its Con-
federate contemporaries to secure an
anti-Republican majority in the
next Congress, SO that the dividing
lines between treason and loyalty
may in all matters be wiped out
But forewarned is fOrearmed, and
the fact that this project is openly
entertained, coupled with the other
facts that the main efforts of the
coalition are now, and will continue
to be, devoted to capturing as many
Congressman and State officers as
possible, should everywhere arouse
the people to proper sense of their
duties and obligations in local as
we'll as a national point of view.
Let our friends throughout the good
old Keystone State remember these
things.

Schurz as an Original Anti Greeley
Man.

From the Cincinnati Colrer. (6erman)
Whrn at the Cincinnati Conven-
tion B Gratz Brown appealed to the
delegates to transfer the votes given
himself TO Greeley, and this political
maneuvre gave the signal for the
nomination of the latter, the delega-
ton from Missouri asked leave to re-
tire for consultation. Schurz left the
chair of the Convention TO Julian,
and followed the delegation to their
consultation room, where in the pres
ence of the intriguing Brown, and
visibly affected he made the follow
ing remarks:
81 think that the Convention, in
nominating Greeley for the Presi.
dental candidacy, would be guilty
of fatal error. l do not regard him
as the strongest candidate we can
put up, but on the contrary, as the
weakest. 1t is impossible to gain
the German votes for Greeley. He
has been lifelong advocate of Tenn
persnce, and his name identified with
the most senseless measures Of which
the Temperance people have been
guilty He is therefore extremely
unacceptable. The Liberal ticket
can succeed only with the aid of Ili-
nois and Ohio. But neither Illinois
nor Ohio can be won over for Gree
ley. have known Greeley for If
teen years, and during that period
our relations have always beed of
the friendiest character. But Gree.
ley is unfit to be clothed with the
Presidential Office on account of his
nature. and on account of his educa
ton. His want of dignity. his peca-
liar ideas. his many whims and cap
rices. render him utterly incapable
of properly filing so high and hon.
orabe position"

Attacked by a Mob.

WASHINGTON, September 16.-The
delegation of soldiers and sailors,
numbering about 800, which left here
yesterday afternoon for Pittsburg,
to attend the convention to be held
there Tomorrow, was attacked by
a crowd of Greeley roughs while
passing through Baltimore last even
ing, The delegation was transferred
from the Washington depot TO the
Northern Central depot, aud reach
ing the latter place, were about to
enter the cars, when the rutfians as
saulted them with bricks, stones and
other missiles. One man was severe
~ hurt, and several others received
slight bruises. The soldiers made a
charge n their assailants, but they
fled in all directions. No arrests
were made.
The Baltimore American this
morHing notices The affair editorially,
aud says: 1--WE greatly regret to
have TO note in our columns this
morning slight cropping out of the
cowardly mob spirit which in times
past has so dishonored the fair name
Of our city.'We hoped this mob spirit
had about become extinct in the
community, but the event to which
reference is made indicates that it is
latent in certain quarters, and is Gag
er and ready to assert itself. We
earnestly trust that, in the light Of
past experience, our police authori-
ties will be moro than ordinarily
vigiIant to prevent any repetition of
such an occurrence"

g~Speaking of the Maine clectio,

EFT Speaking OF the Maine election
Telegraph says; "If the GRANTEES
are satisfied with such results, we
certainly ought to be. A correspond
ing gain in the other States will give
Greeley four.ffths Of the electoral
votes" In 1870 Maine gave Re-
publican majority OF $500 That
year enough States went Republican
TO have elected President, had it
been a Presidential year, This year
Maine gives a Republican majority
of 10, 000-just double that of 1868
With a corresponding Republican
gam in the other States, what would
be the prospects of the Democratic
party

sag The attempt to carry Greeley

Elective men of both parties are ask
ing themselves, "Why should we

important business interests, by help

shat a base attempt has been made
to sell out their party for the offices,
the spoils. Republicans sincerely at

that the grand fabric Of freedom
which it has reared shall not be

it. The unnatural coalition may
