HOW IS THIS !?

Before the great and honest Ashley
became Liberalized-Over a year ago
he had occasion to visit Horace
Greeley in his room in the Tribune
building. What he saw there is best
told by himself He related it to a
gentleman last fall on train between
this city and Springfield. It is as fol-
lows:
az had OCCASION" said Ashley, "to
call on Greeley when I was in New
York some time ago. He received me
very cordially, smile mantling the
face of the old muff. After the busi-
ness we were engaged in had been
cOnsummated, we talked on the af-
fairs of the country, politics, etc. This
naturally led to the Presidential ques-
ton and Greeley told me be had re-
ceived letters from all parts of the
country asking him to be candidate
for the Presidency. He was as pleased
as a child with a new toy when he
brought out bundle of letters that
would fill peck measure and submit
ted them to me. Hooked them over,
wondering who would be id fool
enough to write to that old granny for
such an object. Well, I tell you, a
glance satisfied me. The letters were
from the d-dest lot of shysters, aore-
heads, turn-coats and dogs that ahy
party ever puked forth for its own
good, as well as from Democrats. And
yet that old silly=pated fellow actual
ly was pleased with them and wanted
my opinion. I didn't give it, but came
away disgusted that old Horace should
be so soft"
This, and much more, did the long
haired Ashley say about Greeley, all
of which is vouched for by gentle
man who heard it and is reliable.
Since then, Jim has received q new
light and is supporting the "Old mufI"
and has became one of those "shys-
ters," etc.
As regards Greeley, this Ashley con-
versation indicates that he has been
longing for a nomination for some
time, and that it is a bargain between
him and the Democracy and sore
heads.

The Herald report of the recent i'll
ness Of Gratz Brown, Democratic
candidate for Vice President, states
that he was first seized with dizziness
which neeessitated his lying on a sofa
where he remained insensible for a
space Of nearly six hours, and states
that his disease was an acute attack
Of cholera mOrbusI We never heard
of an attack of cholera morbus that
was not acute, and from our personal
experience in that line, consider it
the "wakefulIest" disease a man can
be afflicted with.
Some uncharitable people insist
that Gratz was drunk. We hope not,
and pray that his disease may not
become chronic.

moving the disabilities imposed by
the Constitution from all save, per
haps, three or four hundred. Jeffer-
son Davis was not relieved, and Rob
ert TOOmbs was not relieved, nor any
other person who was a Senator or
Representative in the Thirty-sixth or
Thirty-seventh Congress, and who, in
violation Of his official oath, had en-
gaged in rebellion, Or who bore a
commission in the army or navy OF
the United Staes in 1850 or 1861, and
Joined the rebellion.
Why, then, do these gentlemen
talk about general amnesty? Is the
Republican party to be stricken down
unless Jefferson Davis is made eligi-
bic to be the Democratic candidate
fOr President of the United States
next after Horace Greeley? Laugh
ter That is all there is left of this
amnesty question. The general bill
has passed; il has received the ap-
p7Oval OF Ulysses $. Grant; it is upon
the statute book, and is q law of the
land. All disabilities, I repeat, are
removed, except from such persons as
Jefferson Davis and few others like

will suffer if they are never relieved
from their disabilities. 1 don't know
that it is essential to the safety Of the
Republic, OF to the equal rights of any
OF the citizens of this Union, that JEFF
ferson Davis, or Beauregard, or any
man Of that character who bore the
commissions of the United States,
and were bound by Oaths to support
the Constitution Of the United States,
and committed treason against the
United States, should ever hereafter
be permitted to be either President or
Governor, Senator or Representative.
l think that Jefferson Davis, and all
those men who acted as he did, ought
to be forever grateful to the American
people that they dealt with them so
generously and so kindly, permitting
them to stand up in the presence of all
the world, and say: 81, too, am an
American citizen, entitled to the
equal protection of its laws at home
and abroad, on the land and on the
sea"

The nomination Of Greeley at Bal
timOre fixed the status of candidates
for President. There are two parties
in the field-the Democratic and Re-
publican. The first is led by Horace
Greeley and the latter by U. s. Grant.
Greeley represents the principles of,
and will act with, the Democratic
party in all its dishonesty. Grant is
the representative of Republican
principles-rendered sacred by be-
ing scaled with the blood Of the
war for the Union-and his success is
the success Of honesty and good gov
ernment. Which will you choose ?

Greeley has cut no trees this week.
This is sad, for he is expected by his
Democratic managers to keep up that
business until after the election, if he
clears off his farm and has to trespass
on his neighbor's woods. Greeley is
the pastoral candidate. He is not
exactly a ntree-tOad.u -

Skellinger, Of Huron county, was in
this city on Tuesday. He is an anx-
ious seeker after the position Of elee.
tor of this District on the Democratic
ticket, and that was his business here.
It is singular what a weakness some
men have to lie in position to be vo-
ted for wheh defeat stares them in the
face. Such is Skellinger's case.

The Democrats are running this
campaign, as they haYe all other, with
in the last ten years-by wind. The
papers have already announced
enough changes of votes to elect
Greeley and a Democratic Congress.
Even so early in the campaign such
idiotic stuff is becoming insipid. If
it is kept up till next fall there will be
a general softening of the brains Of.
Democratic editors, besides which
they viii have a desperate load of sin
to answer for at the last day.

Our Democratic leaders here profess

Well "two or three" is good, very
good. But is our neighbor sure il is
telling the truth? Don't you wish
what you say, was true?-AdUertiser.
Ifit is not true give the list in full.

on paper, but do you really think it
will win ?

At Baltimore IT was decidad 70 boi

At Baltimore it was decided to hold
a political reunion of Greeley and
Brown Democratic and rebel soldiers
at no distant day. When the matter
was brought into the best shape pos
sible, it was found that but a few
Northern soldiers could be found
who would sign the call, and they
were men who had disgraced them
selves during or after the war. This
wouldn't have looked well and the
Democratic managers, crushed ont
the whole matter.

THE TARIFF.

Bold and defiant as this party has
been in its utterances, for the purpose
of this contest and out of Difference to
its candidate perhaps, it affects. neu-
trality on the question of free trande
or tariff. Its leaders generally favor
free trade and the repeal of all tariff
duties. By this party the question
har been raised whether the Ameri-
can Tariff system is constitutional. 1t
was adopted by the first Congress, has
been continues and has largely pro-
NOTED the general prosperity of the
people. do not state this too broad
ly.
In the platform adopted at Cinein-
natl and accepted at Baltimore, you
will find that the question of free
trade or protection is referred to the
people of the United States, to be set
tied in the Congressional districts and
in the halls Of Congress. 1t is a ques-
ton of very great Importance to the
the American people. Free trade sim
ply means. and always did mean, the
admission into the American ports
all products free Ofduty; and it means
therefore, that the Governments of
the United States, instead Of being
supported mainly as it always was
before the late rebellion, and until the
rebellion made it a necessity to lay
internal taxes by impOst duties, is TO
be supported hereafter by internal
and direct taxation. 1t means in
short, that that system of American
legislation which has heretofore re-
ceived the approval of every Presi-
dent of every party from Washington
to Grant, should be abandoned for a
system very acceptable to the despOt-
isms of the Old World which would
pauperize the labor of America. Why
is it that this proposition of free trade
finds 50 prominent a place here in
this platform in the North, first at
Cincinnati and afterward at Balti-
more? It is because the men of the
South, who, as Mr.. Greeley says, con-
stitutes the heart and Soul Of the
democratic party-the rebel element
have been raised in the belief and
act upon it that labor is entitled to no
mpensation but the lash. They do
hoI belleve in sair days wages for
q Iair Gays work. They do not be-

would believe what shysters said, and
they declare that he will be elected.
They do not smile, but they laugh in

George w. Julian is one of the
prominent Greeley supporters in In.
diana. To show the sincerity Of this
man tits only necessary to state that
in his speeches he has INDUCED in
bitter TRADES against the national
banks, stating that their tendency is
to "make the rich richer and the Door
poorer" while at the same time he is
a large stOekholder iu the Second Ma
tional Bank of Richmond, Ind, a
bank which was established through
his special instrumentality.
For a Reform Party the Democrat
ic Liberal concern has more convict
ed and villainous thieves in it than
can be found in years travel. The
New York Tammany Ring are loud
for Greeley, every Republican that
has been convicted of Government
swindling, and kicked out of the par
ty is with the Reformers. In fact,
all the base and low go with the Re-
form movement. These are rough
truths but they are truths neverthe-
less.

AMNESTY

This party, so jealous for the Con-

nesty and the removal of all the disa-
biIities, forgetful that this great peo-
pie, without their dictatiOn and with
out their aid, had already granted a
general amnesty, and that it might
never be repealed, embodied it in the
Constitution of the United States.
There was no eOnfiscatiOn of the prop
erty of rebels, no banishment of their
persons from friends and home.
They were invited to stay and to par
ticipate hereafter in the highest priv
ilege that pertains. to the citizen
of this country-the elective
franchise. Why, then, is all
all this clamor about universal am
nesty? We had passed the law be-
fore they met to instruct US at Balti-

jury of Germany, during the late war

the Senate, under the obligation Of
his oath, voted that the accusation
was false, and nailed the falsehoOd to
the table of the Senate, there to abide
forever. This is only an illustration
Of the time-hOnored maxim that lie
can not live forever. Sooner or later
it must perish.
What more Is said or can be said
against this man as a reason why he
should not be reelected to the Presi-
dency? These gentlemen further say
the One-term principle is very essen
tial to Republican institutions. Why.
feilOw-citizens, they have been a long
time finding that out. The fathers of
the Republic considered it and took
care not to put into the Constitution
any such restriction upon the rights
Of the American people. They con-
sidered that if the Chief Magistrate
bore himself well in his office, dis
charged the duties of it with eminent
ability snd satisfied the people that
he was perhaps better qualified by
reason Of his experience, among other
things, for administering it another
term, than any other man living, the
people, if they saw fit, might re-elect
him, End the people have gone on
tnlnking and acting that way for
me themselves, from that day to this.
