SOLDIERS AND SAILORS C0NVEN-
rION AT PITTSBURGH,


The gathering of Soldiers and
Sailors at Pittsburgh last week was
one of the grandest that has been
ever witnessed on the continent.
Over seventy-five thousand Soldiers
were in attendance, and the city
both by day and by night,presented
a spectacle seldom equaled.' Itwas
not so much the pomp and pageant
'ry Of the display, that caused the
enthusiasm, as 1t was the patriotic
sentiments of Union and National
ity of which these things were but
the outward expressions. That
which was apparent was beautiful,
but that which was suggested was
still more grand. 1t was meeting
where all were on 4 level. Those
who rode on horseback or in car
riages, considered themselves not a
whit better than those who walked
afoot. Co operation was the spirit
Of the day. Harmony prevailed
among all classes. All joined hands
and the unspoken cry was; "Rally
on the CENTER" that center being
the idea of the unity and per-
petuity of the Republic. Speeches
were made by many of the great
orators of the day. The Pittsburgh
Commercial Of Friday morning,
speaking of the Convention says:
"The resolutions at the conlud-
ing session Of the great Convention
Of Soldiers yesterday morning have
no uncertain meaning. Speaking
with the soldiers frankness, they
reaffirm the principles and ideas for
which their authors fought-the
union of the States, freedom and
progress. They express the most
perfect confidence in Gen. Grant,
and rejoice that so good a patriot
and able statesman as Henry Will
son is associated with him in the
Presidential canvass: and they also
pledge their cordial support to the
gallant comrade leading the column
in Pennsylvania" Gen. Hartranft.
Gratifying as is this expression, 1t
was not necessary to convince the
world that the soldiers who know
our candidate SO well will give him
their support in contest with an
opponent who, to all intents and
purposes, was rebel throughout
the rebellion. The Republican
cause has the support of the great
body of the men who fought the re-
bellion down, and this fact is not
the least OF the things of which the
party and every individual member
of it has a right to be proud"

IS THIS LOYALTY?

Horace Greeley said on Thursday
night; $50 far as l can see every
demand made on the part of the 10y
al States and the loyal people has
been fully complied with on the part
of those lately in rebellion. Have
they not brought forth works meet
for repcntance?" This is all very
nice to talk about from the platform
of a ear or the balcony of hotel.
Whenever those late in rebellion
prove their fealty to the Union by
their good works, loyal people will
believe them sincere. For Mr..
Greeeley's benefit, and that of his
friends, We copy the following ex-
tract from an editorial in the Griffin
Georgia, Star. l - ....'-.-
"Then again, there is another
and a much greater hope looming
up in the distance, and that is
Southern independence! For be it
known we have never yet given up
that Idea! We still insist that the
Norlh and South cannot permdn
emily and peacably li0e together in
the same household! While this is
true. it is equally true-having
been demonstrated-that We cannot
unaided, achieve our own indie
pendence. Should Europe, howev-
er, engage in universal war, Euro
pean possessions in America must
become involved; and through
these complications the United
States must inevitably be drawn in
to the contest.
Then it acM be seen and kno,cn
that the South aoiH join fortune.

There is little specimen of the
spirit in which Southern men "late-
ly in rebellion" comply with the de.

country. "Works meet for repen

ATELliNG POINT.

One of the points made by Mr..
Arnett in his address at the fair
grounds, on Thursday last, against
democratic party was this:
"Ask us, the colored voters of the
United States, to vote thedemocratic
party back into power,-that party
that lived and fourished on the un
paid labor of four millions of pepole,
that party that had no regard for
the sacred ties of marriage, that for
paltry gold separated husban and
wife, parent and child, brother and
sister,-that party that sold in the
market the virtue of woman to the
highest bidder. That party ask us
for our votes, before we have done
hunting up our kindred, scatterd
by them over this broad land. We
will never give them our votes, no
never" lWa.t aa

A GEORGIA CANDIDATE IN A. FOD-
DER FIELD.

The Rome (Ga. Commercial tills
a good story on DR.. Powers, one of
the candidates for Sheriff of that
county, to the effect that Powers
lately stopped to talk with man
who, with his daughters, was pull
ling fodder in field on the road
side. The man wouldn't stop pull
ling fodder, and the Doctor, in Or
der to keep alongside of him, com
menced pulling fodder in the row
he was walking in. When he had
got fairly. settled down to it. the
farmer says: "Excuse me minute,
while step over to the house-you
just knock along with the girls
here" and he left. At this the
girls just made the fodder fly,going
down therows in double-quick time.
The Doctor manfully went in, hand
over hand, shucked his coat, and
did his level best. He painted, he
sweated, and yet he showed along,
under the boiling sun, while the
farmer was on his piazza with his
pipe lit, takin it cool, and laughing
in his sleeves. In abont an hour
he went out to the field and released
the Doctor. They say the Doctor
never limited "Sheriff'' to him but
jerked up his coat and left; and
he don't go to fodder fields for
votes-he dodges 'cm. a.

T-BAGGERS.

The Greeley democracy have a
great deal to say about carpet-b bag
gers in the Southern States holding
office there, while the same party
in Missouri nominated a man for
Lieut.. Governor who had not been
in that State long enough to be eli
gible to the Office, and had to retire
from the ticket, and allow the State
Central Committee to fill his place.
This is fair simple of the profes-
sion and practices of the Greeley
party; they profess to be sinless,
but are full of wickedness.

CATTLE FEVER.
The Texas Rinderpest Among the
Herds Of Cincinnati Dairymen,

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
We have another Texas cattle SEN
sation on hand at the same time of
year, and in the same locality
where, three years ago, the consum-
ers of milk were alarmed at the loss
of scores Of COWS on dairies on the
Colerain pike beyond Cumminsville.
The present reappearance of this
fatal malady are in the dairies of
G. w. Tallant and j. w. West,
contiguous to each other on the
Colerain pike, about two miles be-
yond Cumminsville. A lot of Tex
as or Cherokee cattle were pastured
on Mr.. Vests place, Last week
thirteen of NJ. Tallant's cattle died,
this week the remainder of his stock
of twenty nine took i'll and have
also died. The matter coming to
the knowledge of the City Milk In
spector, and the Inspector of Meat
and Cattle, they repaired to the
place and found all Of Mr.. Vests
cattle i'll, twenty-fou in number,
and all exhibiting the symptoms of
the spienic feyer-the drying up
of the milk, the dull stupid look Of
the animal, the CLASSY eye and droop-
ing head, and the hide covered with
Texas cattle ticks. Further inquiry
discovcrd that a lotof.poor, meager,
bruised Texas cattle had been pas
tured on Mr.. Vests place, and also
that large numbers of the Cherokee
and texas cattle were being sent
here from St. Louis and chicago.

What Grants enemies call good
luck 1 call good sense. Sumner is a
great rhetorician; Schurz is a brill
liant word monger, and Greeley
writes well for the newspapers; but
Grant has more good hard Sc nse
than all three of them put together.
Clear, strong practical common
sense, without show or parade or
noise, is what carried him success
fully through the war, and has made
him safe and good President.

what it may, Grant and good look
will do for the Republicans in this

EDS. REPUBLICAN: - Busy times
with us now. "A great many new
houses are nearly completed and the
owners are rushing things, so as to
have everything in readiness for the
coming winter. D. G. Evans is com
pleting the finest residence in the
place. The exterior appearance OF
the building is admirable, while the
interior arrangement is the most
convenient l have ever seen. His
success in getting such a fine struc-
ture is mostly due to the purchase
of a design called the model house,
the work of a Vermont architect.
Horst's new block is in the hands
of the plasterers and painters, and
will be an ornament to the place and
a monument to the enterprise and
business tact of the owner. The
whole of the first floor will be fitted
up for dry goods room. The sec
ond story will be divided into Of
fees, while the third floor will be ar
ranged for one Of the finest photo

State. The towering height of this
new building makes Brenneman's 8
block look somewhat low, but there

The new station is receiving the
finishing touches of the contractors,

COMPARING NOTES.

The enemies of the present Ad-
ministration are scattering broad
cast over the land wholesale charges
of corruption against President
Grant and his subordinates in office.
The Democratic press teens with
slander, Democratic speakers reiter-
ate the falsehoods, and every effort
is made that partisan ingenuity can
devise to poison the public mind
against the Administration of Pres
ident Grant. Fortunately for the
Republican party the character of
the opposition is too well known by
the people to make its charge effect
i've. Every school-boy knows the
record of the Democratic party.
The recent developments made in
New York, where over $40, ZOO, 600
were plundered from the city treas
ury by Democratic leaders, show
the honest tendencies of the party
that is now trying to cover its own
rascalities by charging corruption
on the party that was instrumental
in cutting short its career of whole
sale robbery. .aa -Hi
Will our "li6erdP" friends and
"Hliberar' enemies make a note of
the following statements?
The present Administration has
lost a smaller per cent. of the pub
lie funds, through the dishonesty of
officials appointed since March 4,
1869, than any previous Admlnis-
tration.
1t has collected larger per cent. Of
the public revenue at a smaller per
cent. of cost than any Administra-
tion since the day of jackson.
1t has brought to punishment a
larger per cent of dishonest officials
than any previous Administration.
1t is the first Administration that
has shown a desire to still further
improve the civil service, and has
given partial proof of its intention
to introduce reform wherever need
ed by adopting system which, in
time, will bring into the service the
very best men of the nation.
What more is needed? The Ad-
ministration is honest, capable, eco
nomical. The most searching in
vestigations have failed to fix a sin
gle act of corruption ON the Presi-
dent or his chief officials. From
the heads of Departments to the
humblest clerk the rule is official
integrity, while dishonesty is the
rare exception. If any one is sim
ple-minded enough to believe that
the Democratic party can make the
Government perfection they must
be ignorant of the past record of
that organization. If reforms are
needed, some purer party than the
one that now sits in judgment on
our shortcomings must bring them
about. As well might we try to
gather figs from the poisonous tree
as to try to obtain an honest admin
istration of affairs from the Demo
cratic party. The people know this
as we'll as they knew it in 1860, 1864,
1868. They heard the same old
charges of corruption raised then
as they hear now. They returned
their answer in overwhelming major
tiles in the past, and will do the
same in the future. u So.

The RINpERPESI.

THE rinderpest, one of the most
fatal diseases with which cattle are
affected, has broken out in several
parts of England. The epidemic
prevailed here some years ago, but
was conquered by strict sanitary
precautions. Some medical author
tiles have asserted that the loath-
some malady is a contagious one
that may invariably be regarded as
a forerunner of the cholera or other
epidemical disease, but experience
in this country disproves the theory.

WHY SHOULD DEMOCRATS, VOTE
.ctG 60 S1a FOR GREELEY? la

"a, =, Upon what ground will patriotic
Democrats prefer Greeley to GrantI
They must prefer Greeley because
they disapprove Grant personally, or
else because they disapprove some
political doctrine he represents.
Are Democrats for repudiating
thesdebt5 4Are they for agitating
or annulling the thirteenth, four
'teenth, and fifteenth amendments OF
the Constitution? Would they re-
establish slavery Would they pay
the rebel war debt, or pensions to
rebel soldiers, or rebel war claims
Would they initiate the currency
again and flood the country with
paper money? Are Democrats
against reducing taxes and expens-
es? Are Democrats opposed to
peace with all nations and stable
government at home? These ques-
tions are not asked to impugn the
position of any man, but for the
opposite reason. Im- ....-
General Grant being tried an true
in all these things, why should any
Union man, or Conservative man, or
business man, or patriot,vot against
him, even if his competitor was a
safe and fit man for President
Plainly there can be no reason, un-
less Grants unworthy of confidence
or respect, and deserves to be found
guilty of the crimes and vices al
legged against him. To judge this
question we examine his history
and lay bare his life. "The tree is
