SIR: The nomination of Horace Greeley as
the standardbearer OF the Liberal has awakened
an enthusiastic feeling among those Republicans who do
NOT desire the reelection Of Grant and the perpetuaiOn
Of the military ring. Nor Is this feeling confined TO the
Republican party. for the nomination Of Mr. Greeley,
like two-edged sword, ia cutting both ways While II

hand it thinning the ranks OF the Democracy on the
other The Democracy Of Wisconsin, ten to one are In

state are resting upon their arms" awaiting the
action OF that Convention. When that as

THOMAS HoLLo WAY.

The Record is displaying in
it's columns some Of the hard
sayings of the New York
Tribune about the Democratic
party several years ago. This
is done to influence Democrats
to help the Record retain in
power the leeches and vampires
who for years past have been
sucking the life>blood out of
the country and sapping the
liberties Of the people, And
this same little sheet that is
despised by nine-tenths of the
Republican party in Vinton
county, is also whining for
Democrats to help it elect a
county ticket for its glory and
aggrandizement, We suggest
that it re-publish some of its
own articles, in which it called
Democrats. everything but re-
spectacle and honest men, If
it does this Democrats will be
able to appreciate more fully
the Reoord's disinterestedness
in their general welfare.

Every Grant organ that puts
in an appearance at this office,
the Portsmouth Republican,
jackson Standard, and Logan
Republican, in particular, are
in great trouble over the stu
alton. They are bothered by
two fears: one is that the old
Democratic party may die; the
other that Grant may be de.
feated. We can only say that
while this country remains a
Republic, the first can never be,
the second is not only possible
and probable, but a fixed fact.
If as the Grant organs declare,
Greeley is going to be so east
ly defeated, why in the deuce
are they SO badly frightened? p?
That's what we would like to
know.

The Roll of Grants Honest
SuDDOrterS.

The Administration organs
and the advocates of Genera
Grant are claiming that they
have the support of the honest
portion of the people, and that
the corrupt rings are against
them. The following embra>
ces a few of the many honest
supporters of Ulysses l., which
we give as the commencement
of the roll of Grants virtuous
supporters:
The Custom. house Ring.
The General,order Swindle
Ring.
The Santo Domingo Ring.
The District of Columbia
Ring. =.
The Seneca Sandstone Ring.
The Indiana Ring.
The Navy Department Ring
The Land Grabbing Ring.
The Chorpenning Fraud
Ring,
The Cameron Ring.
The Washington Lobby
The oaicoaseHing Ring.
The Internal Revenue Ring.
The Whisky Ring.
The Philadelphia municipal
Ring.
The Carpet.bag Ring.
The Military Ring.
The Cameron-Kemble Ads
Ring.
The Monopolist Rings eve
rywhere.
The Great Railroad Rings.
The National Bank Rings.
The Southern Plunder's Ring.
The Office>holder's Ring.
These embrace a few of the
n ~
selfish supporters of Grants re-
election, who are drawn to that
side, believing that with his
success they can plunder the
people and fill their pockets
better and more successfully
than with any other person for
President. The list of rings
can be counted indefinitely
With such an array the less
that the Grant organs say
about rings on the other side
the better,-[N. Y World.
