ed our hearty approval; and 1t Is our firm be-
lief that we could have carried it.
90. That immediate action will be taken to
reorganize all Reunion aud Reform societies
throughout the States, with or without the aid
of the democratic party, in order to make a
nomination which best suits our views, and
put up such men as candidates for President
and ce-President as will carry the ticket to

believe, from the speeches of Carl Schurz.

front OF the reform movement. It's meet.

Convention, and its hope was to enlarge
the basis OF the movement by admitting

THE GERMAN SENTIMENT.

The expectation that the German senti-
ment would accept the Cincinnati nomina-
tons will not prove well founded. One
or two western papers and some in New
York endorsed the nominations; but the
great body of the Germans show unmis-
taxable evidence that they will not sup
port Greeley. At 4 great meeting recently
held in st. Louis they gave full expression
to their opposition in the following reso-
lutions which were adopted.
81. That we regard the meddling with the
ah-important tariff question, the platform of
the Liberal Republican Convention; and the
programme of Jefferson City, as unjustifiable,
as it is the ground-plan of the whole move
ment, and that we insist upon the Reunion
and Reform Convention platform which was
drafted in Cincinnati.
''2. That we see in Horace Greeley not a
fit Presidential candidate of the reform party
as he has shown himself to be in utilization
with the GENERALIZATION of power in Congress
as supporter Of the Ku-Klux laws, and also q
fanatic on protective tariff, which is in open
defiance OF the programme, as well Of the Lib
eral Republican as the Reunion and Reform
party, and man Of eccentric habits, tickle
character and inconsistent conclusions, which
do not guaranty that wise and solid admins.

crisis.
80. That we see in the nomination OF

dangerous and professional politicians, who
have taken part in the reform movement only
to further their own designs.

GREELEY'.S ABDICAT TON.

The New York Times thinks that Gree
ley's abdication of the editorial control of
the Tribune is poor trick. 1t says: ''A1r.
Greeley retires from the foreground of the
Tribune-hereafter he will be content to
dictate its policy in the background. The
open attempt to make his paper a mere
vehicle for putting himself as Presidential
candidate was little too barefaced even
for his practiced nerves. He will now
suggest the putting without rendering him
self openly responsible for it. He will
prompt the articles to which the signature
of H. c. will no longer be appended.
The arrangement is not very ingenious
one, and probably it will not deceive the
most supplemented of all the men who
still believe that Mr. Greeley is an hon
est, though misguided man. If Mr.. Gree
ley longer blows the trumpet, he will
take pretty good care that no other tune
but his own is blown on 1t. 1t Is perfectly
safe for the proprietor of the show to stand
behind the screen when he still continues
to pull the strings of the puppets.
Mr.. Greeley acknowledges that his
double character of journalist and candi-
date is 'irksome and difficult Difficult
he will undoubtedly find it before he gets
throughput it will not be less irksome
now than it was before. The Tribune was
Horace Greeley-there was nothing more
in or of it than accelerated name conferred.
There never was paper in the world
which depended so much on the life Of
one man. BY announcing his resignation,
Mr.. Greeley Injuries his paper without dis
abusing the public mind OF the conviction
that it viii remain his mouthpiece as 6
, Presidential candidate. 1t will be nothing
3 more nor less in the Presidential canvas,
/. than a personal organ, bound hand an(
foot to Republican who is prepared to sci
out his party to the Democrats for the sake
of political advancement. A more immor
al alliance was never proffered than that
with which Mr.. Greeley is tempting the
Democrats. We certainly hope that the
Democrats will take him up. For then
the nation will understand distinctly that
they are asked to vote substantially for the
return of the Democrats to power-for a
general upheaval of our commercial sys-
TEN, for wild confusion in home and do
mestic affairs, for the return of jeff Davis
to the Senate, for the revival of the Ku-
klux. for the not improbable payment OF
the Southern debt and for state of af.

in 1860 might almost be considered the
millennium y

The latest number Of the British Medical
Journal says that during the last twenty years
the total deaths of males Of all ages from heart
disease have increased from S746 in 1851 to
2,42s in 1871, and the percentage of deaths
from heart disease for every one thousand Of
population living was 755 between the years
| 1861 and 1855, and has risen to 1885 from 1866
to 1870. This increase has also taken place
wholly in connection with the working years
of active social life, with no change in the
percentage of deaths from this cause in males
under 25 Between 20 and As years of age it
has risen from 553 to 700, and almost exclu-
sively in males, for there is almost no increase
in the percentage of females dying from heart
disease during the twenty five years of life
from 2l to 45. These figures convey their
own lesson, and warn US to take little more
care not to kill ourselves for the sake of liv-
ing.

POLITICAL.

Senator Sumner is reported as having COM
mended the Cincinnati tariff plank in con-
versation Friday, and announced the OPP
inion that in clear field Greeley would beat
Grant.
1t is stated that of the Senate Foreign COM
mittee, Messrs. Cameron, Harlan, Morton
and Hamlin are in favor of ratifying the treaty
of Washington, and Messrs. Schurz, Patter-
son Of New Hampshire and Casserly are op.
posed to it. No decision has yet been arrived
at by the committee, and no report is ex-
pected for several days.
PROPHETIC.
man with white hat named Greeley
Once said let the South 60 out freely,
Said another she shant
And his name was Grant,
And he'll be elected, not Greeley.
The New York Sun, the first paper that
nominated Horace Greeley for the Presidency,
publishes campaign song, entitled "The Last
Rebel Yell-Whoo-hoopf for Horace" Of which
the following is the first stanza:
Pm rale old Reb, with but one leg left,
And Pm 'iraid cannot raise as loud yell
AS when l followed Jackson through the Blue
Ridge cleft,
Or stormed in the ruins of Fort He'll
But the old yell comes,
Though silent are the drums
Whoo.hoopl
(Gray column in the vanO
For the first of the Yanks,
Who after we broke ranks,
Behaved like an Uncle and Man
We saw his white hat like the color Of truce.
Stand up with old JEFF and for traitor sign, &c
Mr.. Greeley's ''managers" have succeeded
in driving him from the Tribune, for fear he
would not write with the prudence requisite
for candidate who, being lifelong pro-
tectionist, seeks his chief support from free
traders. But Mr.. Greeley's supporters must
contrive to close his mouth as we'll as dry up
his inkstand. Otherwise he will be commit
ting another such imprudence as he did at the
Uuion League Club the day he was nominated.
In reply to friend who congratulated him,
he said that one thing which especially pleased
him was the manner in which the free-traders
had been beaten in the Convention.
1t is reported that the Greeley managers in
New York city are making profuse promises
of offices and favors of various kinds to the
Democrats for their support, payment to bt
made after the 4th of March next.
The New York Herald says that many
groundess fears are expressed, in the even
of Mr.. Greeley's election, as to the probable
changes he may inaugurate in Washington
Some are of opinion that instead of the annua
| reception at the White House he will have 9
grand exhibition of prize strawberries, and
that subtle theories on the cultivation o.
asparagus may creep into his messages to
Congress. Nay, they 60 so far as to say that
he may create a Department of Agriculture
giving the person in charge a seat in the
Cabinet.
A liberal paper remarks of Judge Davis
that he hasn't dishonest hair in his head
From this, says the Toledo Blade, we infer
that Davis is entirely bald.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1872-05-20

There is still terrible dread on the part
of democrats of the approach of the Bal
timore convention. Shall the action of
the Cincinnati convention be endorsed ?
Shall the great democratic party" dis
solve, and become absorbed into con.
glomeration of soreheads? These are
perplexing questions. Even the demo
cratic State committee of Maine don't fee
competent to decide them squarely.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1872-05-20

While in retirement, it is thought that
Mr.. Greeley will prepare revised edition
of "What Know about farming" Some
say he means to raise "the biggest beat"
