CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Ex-Governor Noyes says he is of the opin-
ion that Grant viii carry Ohio by from 4O, 600
to SO, 600 majority.
sNE The official exposition of the reduc-
ton of the national debt shows total de-
crease from March 1, 1869, to September 1,

annual interest charge of 500, 191 1865.
sY Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, and
Judge Knight, of Florida, were recently
elected Vice-Presidents of the National
Union League. The League passed strong
Republican resolutions, and vote of thanks
to the North Carolina Republicans for their
recent victory.
sSy~It is all very well "clasping hands
across the bloody chasm' if you have not
the best reason in the world to think that
the fellow on the other side wants to get
hold of your hand in order to drag you
into it.-New York Commercial Advertiser.
WFarnsworth stands convicted of politi-
cal forgery. He tried in his St. Charles Qn.)
speech to make point against President
Grant by quoting from his inaugural mes
sage. Some one distrusted the accuracy of
the quotation, and upon examination it ap-
pears that the President never said what he
| is accused of saying, neither in his first in
augural nor in any subsequent message.
~ Inc NOW L OTh I7tUeDe7tue1Lt says Oh
General Dix: ellis nomination is equivalent
to his election, and that too by large ma
jority. There are thousands of war Demo
Gratis in the State whose natural place is
with the Republican party, and who, under
the leadership of General Dix, will this fall
give it their cordial support. This we re-
gard as settling the question for Mr.. Gree
ley, so far as the State of New York is con-
cerned."
sy-It seems rather strange that every in
dication of the country's prosperity should
carry dismay and grief ir to the hearts of our
great modern reformers; but such is the case,
nevertheless. 1t will be a source of much
unhappiness for them to learn that under
the present corrupt and Ubiquitous Admins
tration the public debt has been reduced
SO, 736, 635 during the past month. The sor
rowful fact exists, however.-L'ate1- Ocean.
sSAs regards the case of Collector
Casey, the Greeley fuglers continue to ask
why he is not removed. The reason is that
after the President had written to him asking
for his resignation, and after he had sent on
his letter of resignation to Washington, in
disputable facts were submitted, proving that
the charges against him were malicious and
utterly false; whereupon the merchants and
leading men of New Orleans, regardless of
politics, united in petition to the President
requesting that he be not removed, and de-
claring that his removal would be an actual
detriment to the public interests. This is
why his resignation was not accepted,
and why he has not been removed: but the
Greeley organs are careful not to state the
facts.-ChicagO Journal.
- The other evening a meeting
called at Cape May, N. j., for the purpose of
indorsing Greeley and Brown. Jim Scovel
was the head and front, and the only speak
er with one exception. They captured a
colored man by the name of Jake Wilson.
thinking him Greeley man he was invited
to make speech; he consented, and the fol-
lowing is the speech made:
LADIES AND GENTs-I have been brought here
tonight for the purpose of making Greeley
speech, but am not for Greeley Horace Greeley
of to-day is not the Horace Greeley of twenty
years ago, and never will vote for any man who
places himself at the head of a party who have
been trying since its beginning to trample me in
the dust
They pulled him down, and Jim Scovel
tried to make speech, but he found that
the audience was composed of more than
three -fourths Grant men, and every word he
said against Grant was received with groans.
and cheers for Grant They found it no use
to continue the meeting, so they adjourned
amid cheers for Grant and Wilson.
