Generally wholesale and retail are different
the former, usually disdaim to enter into the
minutie of the retail trade. The steam slam
der-mill at the corner of Spruce street is an
exception to the rule for not only does it
turn out its merchandise day after day at
such an enormous rate as to supply all the
smaller establishments in the country to
overlooking, but it manages to turn penny
QOr forms sake we should like to say, an
honest penny" if it would not sound too
ironically by selling by the inch and half ounce,
and in SO doing has hit upon devices here
tofOre not even thought of by the lowest
Democratic sensation papers, the dear old
Blatherskite with its proverbial disregard of
truth and dccency not excepted. Its ways
are various, and one of the simplest, though
not least mischievous, is the following: 1t
starts some gross falsehood, for which there
is not even the shadow of rumOr, in one of
its most conspicuous columns, and in its
largest type. Of course, it is speedily con-
tradicted, and the personal organ is ready
enough to take the correction; but it is care
full to give it as little prominence as possible
1t will appear in such small type, that in all
probability it will escape the notice of the
majority Of readers. Thus the fabrication to
all practical purposes is allowed to stand and
work mischief; yet the conscientious and
impartial organ, when arraigned for it, can
deiantly assert its perfect fairness. Thus it
did, when it spread the report that Gen.
Banks brother had been removed; and the
same trick was put in practice few days
ago, when the Tribune, for the benefit of igno-
rant people, dug up again the old two hun
dred and fifty dollars qualification imposed
on the colored voters IN New York State up
to the time of the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment. OF course, the learned editor
of the Tribune knew that which the editor OF
the smallest country sheet cannot affect to
be ignorant of; We. he was base enough to
speculate on the ignorance of a handful Of
illiterate negroes, for the great and noble
purpose of keeping perhaps half dozen Of
them from the polls!

Grant sixty-fve." How the Arithmetical
genius manages TO have 65 left of 60 after
substracting 6, is another feat which sur
passes our powers of comprehension, yet he
achieves even this miracle. BY some mystic
rious process lie has discovered enormous
Democratic gains in the recent local elections
in Connecticut, and though he puts Delaware
down as certain for Greeley, yet he shows
the nice taste not to crow over the imposing
Democratic majority of 81 rolled up in the
municipal elections, but passes over them in
silence, which is certainly very kind IN him.
There is one circumstance in the activity
of this highly meritorious gentleman, which
deserves particular notice. We mentioned
that by some popularity of his organization
he is bound to the losing party, which, how
ever, brings him in the field only after nearly
all its other resources are exhausted, like
some medicines, which are applied but in
extreme cases. While he thus serves as a
last support to the Democracy, and keeps up
their spirits with sweet illusions, he is not
less precious to Republicans, since his appear
ance on the battlefield is a reliable indica-
ton that the Democrats and Copperheads of
the new departure are in their last ditch. In
full appreciation of the merits of this excel
lent man, and in our rejoicngs over the VIC
tory whose harbinger he is, we fulfill CRATE
full duty in calling him most heartily welcome,
and assuring him of our deep respect.

Reformed and Purified.

Next to the overwhelming and ignominious
defeat of the wicked and corrupt coalition be-
tween apostate Republicans and the rebel
Democracy under the lead Of Horace Gree
ley, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana last
week, and the utter humiliation of all its
hopes of success in November, the work of
"reform" and publication consummated by
that great victory is the source Of greatest
joy and gratitude to the Republican party.
The process of purgatiOn was begun by Carl
Schurz and Gratz Brown in Missouri two
years ago by the deserton Of those two reck-
the fugtives, followed Immediately by Upton,
Fenton, and Rice in the Senate, and then by
the Chicago and New York Iribmes, the
Springfield Republican, and Cincinnati Conn
mereial. The Republican party has therefore
been efiectually rid of these four time-serv-
ing organs, of Seniors Trumbull, Schurz,
Upton, Fenton, and Rice, and Of Repre-
sentatives Banks, Farnsworth, Blair, (of
Michigan,) and Goodrich.
To this list may be added Horace Greeley,
Gov. Curtin, John w. Forney, Gov. Moore
head, A. X. Mcclure, Gov. Palmer, Gov.
Koener, j. f. briggs, Gen. Fitzpatrick, c..
NJ. Clay, Ex-Secretary Cox, Fftz Henry
Warren, Grinnell, of Ioxa, and Grinnell, OF
New York, and every public defaulter, re-
moved oflice-holder, disappointed office-hun-
ter and contractor. One after another the
whole gang of corrupt, and dishonest, and
soreheaded political adventurous who had
fastened themselves upon the Republican
PARTY for the sole purpose OF securing its
..oils, have deserted, forming select little
rganization of soldiers of fortune and lame
lucks under the name and style of Liberal
Republicans" BY their assertions they have
left the Republican party "pure and ulde-
iiled,' and thus rendered it an infinitely
greater service than they ever did by their
support. And the injury they have inflicted
on the Democratic party by their coalition
with it has been as great as their desertion
has been beneficial to Republicanlsm.
In way they thought not Of" therefore,
the men who have followed Mr.. Greeley into
the Democratic camp by way of Cincinnati,
have most effectually reformed the Re-
publican party. BY deserving it they have

of Southern men to expect from them even
political endorsement of all the atrocious acts
of a vandal host When VIC so debasc our
manhood-so outrage all the nobler feelings
of humanity-as to stand over the graves OF
our Confederate dead, and in the language
of the ninth resolution of the Cincinnati
Baltimore platform excaim, we remember
with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices OF
the soldiers of the North, may our tongue
cleave to the roof of eur mouth, and may
Gods thunderbolt lay us lifeless over the
sacred mound we thus dishonor. You may
talk about peace, and reconciliation, ana
hand-clasping as much as you please, but we
see our way to terrible vengeance upon the
Government and upon the negro through the
election of Horace Greeley. We will aid IN
electing him, because we see in his success
new hope for the lost cause but we do not,
we will not, indorse even politically the plat
form upon which he stands. That is all well
enough for the North, but as for the South,
it Is just where it was in feeling when Lee
invaded Pennsylvania and Thompson was
connecting measures to burn the cities of the
NORTH
Here is another illustration of the bcauti-
full and harmonious operation of the Greeley
effort to concilate the Southern rebels at the
expense of Northern loyalists, and every
principle of justice and common sense:
"Mr. Greeley delivered the address before
the Maryland State Fair yesterday and sub
sequently made short reconciliation speech
to an immense crowd, in which he said,
Blessed are the peace-makers "a very ap-
propriatc thing to say to the fellows before
him who, while on their march to serenade
him, had killed two Republicans and chopped
a policeman's head off with one of the typical
Greeley axes. The bloody chasm gapes oc-
to close it. The Baltimore Blood-Tub'
still lives"
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-10-17

left it free from all corrupting and demoral-
izing influences. The only reproach ever
brought upon the Republican party was by the
corrupt practices and downright rascallty OF
the Liberal" gang who have left it. The
ten thousand-dollar grab of Trumbull, the
crime of Fenton in burning his store tor the
insurance and stealing money intrusted to his
care, Schurz's overdrawing his salary as
Minister to Spain, the disgraceful conduct OF
General Fitzpatrick and c. NJ. Clay while
representing our country abroad, the greedy,
disgraceful scramble of Greeley, and Blair,
and Upton for office, the bride accepted by
Gen. Farnsworth from Railroad Company
in Illinois, the imbecile conduct Of Banks
during the rebellion and, indeed, the shame
less prostitution of their positions while in
office, of almost every man who has turned
traitor to the party, are the cause of all the
people toward it.
Having abandoned it, public confidence in
its perfect integrity, economy, and compe-
tency will be restored. The election in
Pennsylvania, in fact, proves the truth of
this statement. The desertion of Mcclure,
Forney, Curtin, and Morehead has increased
the Republican majority from 10000 in 1871
to So, 900 at the late election. In consequence
of the course of Forney's Press against
Hartranft, his majority in Philadelphia is
5000 more than any Republican ever before
received in that city. And so it is every
where. The influence of the Liberals has
all been of a negatire character, and proved
of vast Importance to the party against which
it has been eXerted. We have great reasons
for rejoicing, therefore, that we are fairly rid
of the "Iiberal Reformers."

Horace Greeley.

In 1899 the historian will write something
in this style of Horace Greeley. There was
a historical myth which shocked the credulity
of mankind with the absurd assertion that
this profane meddlesome person was once a
candidate for Chief Magistrate of the Repub-
lie, but we are happy to state that no evidence
exists that such was the case. True, the
New York Tribune for the year 1872, which
is on file in the AstOr Library, contains arti-
clcs mentioning Mr.. Greeley as candidate,
occasionally, along up to October in that
year. But about that time his name disap-
pears entirely, and we are led to believe that
Mr.. Grccley's long habit of vituperation and
his immense egotism must have turned his
head. For some inscrutable reason the
stockholders seem to have permitted him to
edit the Tribune for nearly year after he
entirely lost his reason, and during all that
time he seems to have imagined himself to
be candidate for the Presidency. There is
confirmatory proof Of the fact that he was a
lunatic during the last year of his connection
with the Tribune in the engravings of an artist
named Mast, in the famous Hnpe,,s Weekly
of that day.
This was then, as it is now in 1899, a pub
LEGATION of high character, which employed
much native talent in the correct pictorial
representation OF matters of interest Thus
Mr.. Mast seems to have been largely en-
ployed in the work Of reproducing correct
pictures OF the leading public men, or persons
OF mere notoriety in some instances. Among
others he seems to have given special atten.
ton to Mr.. Greeley, and here we find conclu.
sive evidence of Greeley's insanity, He is
represented by Mr.. Mast as always wearing
a tag to his coat tail, labeled "Gratz Brown. >
Certainly no sane man would have allowed
himself to appear with such a ridiculous at
tachment. Then again, he is represented
holding an enormous trombone, and saying
This is not an organ"-as though assur.
ances on that subject were necessary. He
frequently appears also in connection with 6
hand-organ-an amusement no sane mar
would have permitted himself to enjoy OF
the streets-and the artist represents him as
having favorite operator on the organ
named Whitelaw Reid-doubtless a famou:
grinder in those DAYS. p.

BY a law of Indiana, a false oath, whether
"extra judicial" or not-that is, whether
made in a legal trial, Or in support of a
charge against a political opponent, is pun
ished as perjury. During the recent cam
paign in that State two Democrats were in
duced, by their leaders, to charge under oath
certain Republicans with having colonized
voters from Kentucky into several of the
southern counties, to vote at the State cleo
tons just held. The charge being absolutely
false, the men were arrested for perjury, tried
for the crime, convicted on the testimony of
the Democratic justice of the peace before
whom the affidavit was made, and sentenced
to prison, where they were at the last date.
After they were convicted, they confessed
their guilt, and alleged that they were hired
to make the affidavit by leading Democrats
whose names they gave, and who were to be
arrested. But though the charge is add
mitted to be absolutely false by its authors,
the "Liberal' and Copperhead press still
keep the falsehood circulating as truth! This
is in character with their whole conduct.

THE Republican ?" enemies of Governor
Hartranft here and in Pennsylvania, are at
tempting to explain their ignominious defeat
by asserting that he owes his election solely
to General Grants popularity. That is not
true, as we have reason to know. The inn
portance of the Presidential election and
General Grants great popularity undoubtedly
brought out a much larger vote than there
would have been otherwise, and Governor
Hartranft's majority was increased in pro-
portion to the increased vote. But next to
his own strength, the Infamous injustice of
the assaults upon his character as man
and an officer was the cause of his immense
majority. If there had been no Presidential
contest he would have been trumphantly
elected. His slanderers more than doubled
his majority. But to his own merits he
mainly owes his triumph.
