Greeley was placed in nomination not to give
strength to the Democratic party or to advances
Democratic principles, but to ensure the cleo
ton of Republican President en- a Republican
platform, SO said Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Trumbull and
others of that ik, who are now SO anxious to con
summate this unhallowed marriage between them
AID the party they hate SO we'll.
MI Horace White of the Chicago Tribune gave as
,thereason for the nomination ofGreeley that they
intended to elect republican president and that
if the Democrats nominated democrat at Balti-
more, Horace Greeley would Withdraw and they
the "liberals''-these immaculate fellows you
KNOW would go for Grant. What beautiful dish
to set before Democrats. a1a 0t
'.Think Of it!'' o"True they agree with Greeley's
present views; but then they hate Greeleyl' This
is mere as sumption. Who hates Greeley Us !
who will not vote for him Not at ALL but we do
hate the way he is brought before us and despise
those who Willy aid abuse us for not doing their
bidding. "Agree with Greeley's present views.
This is rather hard upon us 1t is dificultto place
this idea. Greeley's pre- sent views may, or may
not be what they were month ago should
think it likely they had changed materially with
the light he has had shed upon him during Octo-
ber Agree with Greeley's present views %
What secesh and all? this is simply adding insult
to injury. We do not agree with Mr. Greeley in
very many Of his VIEWS We don't believe it TO
be the best way to reform the civil service the way
mean, that Greeley points out to us, by turning
out those that are in Office only to make room for
those that will vote for him, much less do we APP
prove of the idea of publishing thi fact to the
world, that it might have it's full effect on cleo
ton day. We do not hold the same views as
Mr.. Greeley, when he in his honesty abuses Mr..
Grant for having $4,000 Office-holders to fight for
and to vote for him and he (Greeley) thus ensuring
TO himself The support of five times that number,
every one of whom will be sure to get thes'etices
although they are perfectly we'll aware that four
ffths OF them must be disappointed. What an
honest man is Honest Horace
Think of it p They (we) don't like either can
didate ] know Of reason why we should.
Neither can represent the Democratic idea, and
hence we shall not vote for Greeley or fol- Grant
Not because Greeley years ago and on dead is
sues abused us as a. party. but because we agree
with Horace White, who said just before Greeleys
nomination cit makes no difference with how much
apparent earnestness he (Greeley) may advocate a
principle, the moment it becomes possible to put
that principle into practical operation that mo-
ment, Mr. Greeley is certain to dodge off and begin
negotiation with its beaten enemy Thus, is
the whole of our objection TO Mr.. Greeley sum.
