Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-06-13
CAMPAIGN NOTES.
An old farmer says the Drouth,
Potato bugs and Horace Greeley are
too much for one season.

Chappaqua Cabbagrophlllst Is
lew name for H. G. 1t is little
ong for a rallying cry, but what
would You have?
Not single Republican paper in
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, or
Michigan endorses the Cincinnati
nominations.
There were about forty people
present at :'the first Greeley meet
ing in Chicago" out near the rolling
mills.
The best motto Of the campaign
is that of Glenni W. Scofield, of
Warren: ave are for the man that
against the man that bailed
Jefferson Davis"
If Grant, is as mean man as Sum-
ner makes him, how is it that the
Massachusetts, Senator voted to
give him the power to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus at will? That
is what the country would like to
know.
Vorhees cooked Greely's goose at
Terre Haute, Ind, the other evening
Three thousand persons listened to
his denunciation of Greeley and
the Cincinnati movement. DR.. Hor-
ace will soon know all he wants to
about running for President.
There is no longer any doubt that
Greeley will be repudiated at the
Baltimore Convention. Poor Hor.
ace has got down in the dirt only
to be kicked aside by those whom
he has truckeled to. "Pity the sor-
rows of a poor old man."
1t has been noticed that the red
headed men take more kindly to
white hats than any other class, the
nomination of Brown evidently be-
ing considered special compliment
to them. The effect, though little
woodpeckerish, is striking.
What is claimed to be genuine
soap mine has just been discovered
in Iowa. 1t should be decided over
to Henry Clay Dean, on condition
that he will quit making speeches
for Greeley, and invest in bathing
tub. -.-... a.
The reduction of taxes by the
tariff bill just passed is over fifty
three millions. Reductions Of tax
es and payment Of the debt at the
same time is not bad policy--guess
we can stand another four years Of
such policy under Grant.
While Republican Administra-
ton reduced the national debt up
wards of four millions dollars dur
ing the month of May, the debt Of
the city of New York, under Dem
ocratic Mayor,was during the same
length of time increased about four
millions.
In New York city last week. man
was sentenced to the penitentiary
for twenty years for having robbed
a boy of twenty-eight cents
At this rate that great Democrat
ic thief, Boss Tweed, for stealing
over $4,000, 900 should serve l,300,-
OOo, 1000 years.
The Louisville Courier exulting-
ly boasts that ''the boys who wore
the gray jackets are all for Horace
Greeley" The "boys who wore the
blue" will meet them under the
lead of Grant, and vanquish them
as they did on the fields of the re-
bellion.
Colfax was one of the first to con-
gratulate Wilson, on his nom.
ination for the Vice Presidency
The act was prompt and gracious,
and in striking contrast with the
disaffection among the Liberals,
manifested on the announcement oil
the nominations at Cincinnati.
A National Convention of work.
ingmen was held in New York on
the Oath inst. Thirty states were
represented by 2lO delegates. A
vote was taken on nomination fol-
President and Grant received 205
votes, Greeley 5 votes, Wilson fol
Vice President 160 votes. How is
Judge David Davis for high?
In the recent convention at Phil.
adelphia there were two things upon
which all men were agreed. The
first of these was the belief that
General Grant should be reelected
the second was indignation and con.
tempt for the base attack of Mr.
Sumner upon the administration.
1t was the men from Massachusetts,
who were most vigorous and out
spoken in condemnation of Sumner
Horace Greeley, in his Trumbull
Co., Ohio, speech last fall, uttered
the truth when he said: "If the
Democratic party were called upon
to decide between Grant and my
self, know that their regard fol
what they must call principle would
induce nine -tenths Of them to vote
against me. Why? 1 am decided
enemy of that party, even in its most
respectable aspects"
Henry Clay was once tempted as
the Sage of Chappaqua is tempted
now.---"Support the anti tariff mea
