REPUBLICAN DRIFT

At the initial meeting of the Meriden
Greeley club, the other evening, German
said that out of the so German Republic
ans of tina town, not more than a dozen
would vote for Grant. ara. .r-...s
The Davenport (owa) Democrat says
tie German vote there will be uuit against
corruption and Capitalization, and questions
if hundred votes will be polled by the
Teutonic element in all Iowa for the gif.-
taker.
An old subscriber OF the New York Tri-
b1me writes: 81 have acted ardently with
the Republican party for twelve years past
shall vote for Horace Greeley in Novem-
Der, and thousands of Republicans here in
Michigan viii assuredly do the same"
The Albany On. c. Arglts states that
the detection from Grant in the interior of
the State is becoming a stampede. Leading
papers have changed front, and new ones
started where the old ones refuse to con-
form to the march of public opinion. Ad-
vices from Chenango, Oneida, Jefferson,
Lewis, st. Lawrence, Herkimer and Mont
gomery, are to the effect that everywhere
the sentiment against Grant in the Repub-
lican party is deep and determined. -
The West Union (Ohlo) Defender says:
"Ex-Sheriff Thoroman informs us that
during his recent trip West he stopped
with his brother John, until recently a res
ident of this county. In conversation wi h
him on politics be was surprised TO learn
that he was for Greeley, and that there
were four or five hundred Republicans in
his county who voted for Grant in 1868
who would vote for Greeley. He sat down
and counted from among his neighbors
some thirty or forty Greeley Republicans"
The Liberal Republicans of Ulster coun-
ty, New York, have issued an address,
signed by thirty-three prominent and influ-
ential gentlemen from al parts of the
county, in which they say, "Theonly
course that is left us is to join those whom
we love and are nearest right. With these
feelings we appeal to you to jon with US in

CRIMES OF 4 GREAT CITY.

The truth OF The saying that great cities
are great sores finds vividillustration in
the instance of New York. The Boston
Globe has been looking through the statis-
tics of crime in that city, and by report of
the Board of police for the year ending
April5 1872, it appears that over eighty
four thousand persons have been arrested
by the police during the past year, over one
quarter Of the number being women. The
fact that the number of arrests exceeds that
of the year preceding by 1922 shows clearly
that crime is on the increase. In the
crimes of a more serious character,
however, the statistics do not show
much of an increase over the previous
two years, and in burglaries and
grand larcenies there is a considerable de-
crease. The arrests for murder during the
last year were sixty-three, against thirty
four the year before, and fifty-seven the year
before that; for robbery, three hundred and
thirty-six, AGAINST three hundred and thirty
two, and two hundred and seventeen. OF
the whole number of persons arrested dur
ing the last year, about one-third were BE-
tween twenty and thirty years of age, and
by far the greater portion had some educa-
ton, 77,624 being able to read and write,
and only 3,467 who could neither read or
write. About three-eighths of the whole
number arrested were married, and the
other five-eighths unmarried. Hence it will
be seen that matrimony is greater safe
guard against crime than knoWl EDGE of
reading and writing.

support of Horace Greeley, Brown, ard
Reform
The Cincinnati Courier, a German. pa
per, opposed to Greeley and Brown, begins
to appEeeiate the power of the Liberal
movement. 1t says: "The most recent
political events seem 10 indicate generally
thai the Democrats are gradually, inmasses,
wheeling into the Greeley columns, and
will before the November election, confront
the Republican partyas 4 whole. The Lib
ersl Republicans also seem gradually TO
become reconciled to the former philosopher,
giving him their support, although he was
not their first choice. It cannot be denied
that the Greeley movement is assuming
greater dimensions every day, and is espe-
ciany spreading in our State, SO that the
Republicans viii not have very easy task
next fall-nay, may be beaten from the
field"
The anti-Grant leaven is working in
Massachusetts,. TIE Springfield Republic
can reports that the Liberal Republican
Conference, held in Boston on Wednesday;
though small in numbers was enthusiastic
and hopeful in spirit, and very favorable
reports were made of the gains for Greeley
in all parts of the State. In most eases, it
is the rank and file of the Republicans who
are going for him--yery few of the Office
holders, lawyers or leaders of the party have
yet begun to commit themselves for Greeley,
but of the masses, a great msny are ready
to support him now, and great many
more will be a week or two hence. His
Republican strength seems to be in the
cities and the western counties Of the State,
in Boston, Lynn (Which the Grant men
even concede will give q majority for him.
Worcester, ETC., and in the rural towns west
of Worcester. A provisional State COM
mttee was appointed on Wednesday, which
will meet in Boston next week, and consult
about calling a Liberal State Convention
Mr.. James c. Lindey writes from Ham
den, Connecticut, as follows:
'sThere are probably not less than sixty
Liberal Republicans in this town, together
with all the Democrats, and all very enthu-
siastic for Greeley and Brown. In Cheshire
the Republican party numbers about $50.
OF these, ninety-four are counted for the
Reform ticket. In Prospect AID Wolcott,
which are small farming towns, at least one
| fourth Of the Republicans are reported for
| the Cincinnati ticket In Meriden aud
| Waterbury the Liberal sentiment is rapidly
on the increase. Clubs have already been
organized containing such lifelong Repub-
| lican workers as w. W. Lee, George w.
Rodgers, DIR. j. j. jacques, and others. In
Naagatuck Greeley has more support among
| Republicans than Grant, as | am told. If
| Greeley and Brown are nominated at Balti-
more, that ticket will sweep Connecticut
like tornado and receive majority of not
less than 700. Mr.. Clark, member of the
| Legislature from Windham, is out for Gree
ley; also the Hon. w. K. Walkley,, of
| Southington, VIM. ii. Pond, of Milford,
DIR. n. b. Welton; of Cheshire, and Robert
L. Benham, of Wallingford, all lifelong
Republicans. Keep the ball rolling, and ac-
| cept tie best wishes of one who never voted
any but the regular Republican ticket, but
proposes to vote for Horace Greeley this

hence his prescription.

A BERLIN correspondent Of the London
Standard writes that the increasing tide of
immigration from Germany to America
causes considerable uneasiness to the i'm
perial government, and measures for the
repression CT the exodus Of subjects of the
empire are seriously contemplated. The
story does not bear on its face any special
marks Of authenticity, and seems to be
rather one of those wild, sensational affairs
in which the continental correspondents
of many London papers, and especially
their Berlin correspondents, are fond of In
dulging. 1t is less than two years since
Bismarck and Bancroft arranged treaty
for the express purpose of improving the
position Of emigrants to America, by pro-
vidiug that the old feudal doctrine of rer-
petual allegiance should be abrogated, and
that a German coming to America to live
might, under certain conditions, renounce
lis allegiance to fatherland, become alb
solved from his old obligations of fealty,
and be made in every respect citizen of
our republic, entitled to its protection and
privileges. ~

Mr.. JAMES KELLY, of Williamsburg, Pa,
has given S25O,O0O to the Allegheny county
Agricultural Society for the purpose of
founding an institution in which poor boys
may learn trades. If other philanthropists
will follow his example they will do more
good than can probably be done with the
same amount of money in any other di-
rection. Who viii do as much for the poor
boys Of Tennessee?

IT is stated as specimen Radical trick,
that the carpet-bag Clerk of Henrico eoun-
ty, Virginia, who was about to be indicted
for ENLIGHTENMENT, took the box from which
the names Of the grand jury were to be
drawn, and f led it with the names Of per-
soHs who would refuse to indict him in any
event. The plot was discovered. He has
since fed. Two indictments-for embez-
element and for tampering with the box
are standing against him.

smartly in Erie, Penn. At a primary

recently, Judge Craig, for many years one
Of the most prominent workers in the Re
publican party in his county, attempted to
deposit his vote, but was refused that priv
iege because he declined to say whether he
should support the Great Renominated or
not. He was suspected of harboring trail
