CAMPAIGN NOTES.

~ The Republicans OF Missouri estimate
Grants coming majority in the State at
$4,000.
s5y- It's toss-up which is the most dis
guted at the company they have got into, the
Democracy or the Liberals.
tSy- All the Welsh papers in the United
States support General Grant. The Welsh
vote amounts to nearly 100000
10y Vice President Colfax, in letter to
a in Washington, says there Is no doubt
for Indiana. She is sure in October, and
will swell the electoral majority for Grant
and Wilson in November
tB- A Maine advocate for Greeley recent
ly gave as a reason for his choice Of candi-
date that he has hundred thousand dollars
in Confederate bonds, which he captured
during the war, and which he thinks will be-
come valuable If Greeley is elected.
s5g- Greeley must not be blamed for fall
ing behind in the race. He cannot run very
fast. He has the Confederacy on his back,
Tammany in his arms, and North Carolina
tar sticking to his heelsl Pity the sorrows
of the poor old man. .-RocheSter Democrat.
r.7y- The last political bon mot is this:
"You'll vote for Greeley, OF course" said a
white Liberal" to Mr.. Mitchell, who was
Sergeant in colored regiment, and lost o
leg in the war. "My stump will have to
grow first" was the retort of the crippled
Sergeant.
rasg~Even the New York Herald says "there
can be but little doubt thatin every Southern
State, except Tennessee, the negro vote will
be nearly solid for Grant. Whoever endeav-
ors to gainsay that fact has but very little
knowledge of the negro character.
sa9g@The broad farce of Greeley's visit to
his native land is well shown up in brief
paragraph by the Boston Traveller, which
says: 'Mr Greeley's deep affection for the
neghborhood of his nativity may be judged
| by the fact that he did not visit that neigh
borhood at ALL"
.sy The story having been started that
Colonel Blar ton Duncan had been furnished
money from Republican sources to defray
tie expenses attending the straight Demo-
! cratic Convention at Louisville, the Colonel
| has published card in the Louisville papers
! branding the assertion as O falsehood.
Ex-senator Cameron, after a careful view
of the situation, reports that the disaffection
in the Republican ranks, caused by the For
neytes in Pennsylvania, never had any
strength outside of the city of Philadelphia,
|
shng. He confidently predicts the success
of the Republicans in that State in the COM
ing elections by decided maioritics.
.r9y-The editor of the Washin gton Chroni-
Gle has spent some weeks in New York, and
sums up his observations in these words:
"We feel satisfied that the real strength of
President Grant is just beginning to show
itself, and the effervescence of the opposi
ton is gradually dying out. We believe thai
General Grants chances in New York have
| improved in the past few weeks sufficiently
| to guarantee him the State"
| s1y~ In paroxysm of unwonted caa5T;
the New -yqrlr World saws 'W~will frankly
admit that we ourselves, although support
ing Mr.. Greeley, should be unwilling to sub
nit the financial policy of the country to his
uncontrolled personal guidance. We have
been strenuously combating his economic
notions ever since we came into the arena OF
iournalism and it would be absurd for us to
profess implicit faith in his financial wisdom,
when in fact we have no faith in it whatever,
and never had"
szY7The Democratic organs are claiming
Robert T. Lincoln, the son of the ex-Presi-
dent, as a Greeley man. This is not true.
Mr.. Lincoln is now in Europe, but his per-
sonal friends in this city assure us that he is
an ardent Grant man. It is a remarkable
fact that not only the son of Abraham Lin
coin, but also the two sons of Stephen A.
Douglas, are Grant men. Robert NJ. Dou-
gas, the ex-Senator's older son, is among
the most active workers at Washington for
Grants e-election.-ChicdJO Journal.
~ Senator Wilson has been interviewed
in Boston. The Senator said, General Grant
will carry two.thirds, or twenty-seven States
of the Union" "Do you suppose he will
carry New York;" the interviewer asked.
The reply was 81 do; and even should he
fail he will still have more than enough left.
You have only seen the opening OF the cam
paign. The hot weather is not quite over,
and great deal of work is to be done be-
fore we touch the climax. When we reach
that, the enthusiasm for Grant will sweep
the country"
~ In 1864 Horace Greeley, who was
"peace man." wanted to compromise with
the rebellion on these terms:
1. Restoration of the Union.
2. Total abolition of slavery.
3. Complete and immediate amnesty.
4. The payment OF S400,000,000 to COM
pensate loyal owners for the loss of their
slaves.
5. Immediate representation of all the
Southern States in Congress, on the basis of
their whole population.
6. A National Convention to ratify this ad-
iustment and !nake other advisable changes
in the Constitution.
Grants terms were unconditional sur
render"
.8s- In a recent speech at Worcester Mass.
Hon. George F. Hoar presented the follow
ing effective comparison Of the two Presi-
Dental candidates "Greeley would have
let the South go Grant conquered them.
Greeley encouraged the rebellion (; Grant de-
stroyed it. Greeley would have paid the
slaveowners out of the national treasury;
Grant would educate the freedmen, Gree
ley, more than any one man in the country,
is responsible for Bull Run Grant for Don
olson, Henry, Vicksburg, Appomattox.
Greeley would leave the colored man half
slave Grant would enforce for him those
civil rights which every citizen ought to
