of Greeley as possible nominee.

ter has subsidized he does not know what will be-
come of the ticket
The revenue reformers are blue.

with the colored voters.

make anomination of their own and saw thew
can beat two Republicans better than one
There is no doubt that the Democrats will
make nomination.

withdraw if the Democrats nominate somebody
else The friends of Grant are happy.
