LIBERAL DEMOORACY.--LIBERAL
LYING.

The liberal Republicans and the De-
mocracy having adopted the same plat.
form and united IN the support Of the
same candidates for President and Vice
President may be called ironically the
Liberal Democracy. And, as their MOTTO
separately and conformity, IS, Anything
to beat Grant," SO their main reliance for
the accomplishment Of their purpose is
upon Liberal LYING. Lying about Grant,
Lying about Wilson, Lying about who are
Greeley men, Lying about election re
turns, Lying whenever and wherever they
think lie we'll told Ia as good as the
truth, and even Lying when s. the truth
might answer as well as q lie only for
their antagonism TO the truth. The fol-
lowing articles Will illustrate their system
of lying:
If the Greeley press of other states are
doing as much tall lying about the posi-
ton of Republicans as they are in this
state, a very great discount is to be made
from the statements we see publised rela
tive 50 the disaffection of Republicans
elsewhere. Here they have confidently
stated that Senator Allison was for Gree
ley; then that Hiram Price was; then
that Judge Williams was; then that. Eli
phalet Price was then that Woodward,
of Elkader was and more recently that
ex-Govs. Merrill and Stone are The lat
ter statement, like the others, is entlaely
false. Gov. Merrill told US distinctly
that he should vote for Gen. Grant; and
both he and Gov. Stone have authorized
the Des Moines correspondent Of the Chi
cago Journal to deny the statement pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune that they
are going for Greeley. These things are
significant of the falsity that is sure to be
manifested at election IN the Greeley
fgmes-Du6ugue Times.
/ The Now York Evening Post says:
"Mr. Summers letter WIS telegraphed to
the Western papers In time for pubicA-
ton In some of tham-not all-On wed
nesday morning last. On Thursday, the
next day, correspondent of the Greeley
organ in this city telegrapheG from Des
Moines, that the letter had worked sur
prising revolution among the cclored
voters Of chat state and effectua!ly done
Grants business. One hardly knows here
which most to adnaire--the rapidity with
which the correspondent had gathered
the conclusions of the scattered coloIed
people of so large state as Iowa, or the
readiness with which the colored people
had digested Mr.. Summers letter and
reached a. conclusion. We suppose, of
course, that 1t is al true, but we none the
less must be permitted to admire"
The first report by the Liberal De-
mocracy of the North Carolina Election
was "Merrimon's majority ten thousand. >
From this their reported majority went
down by two thousand a day till the re-
port came: "Merrimon says if the ma
iority against him is not over one tn2u>
sand h will contest the election" On
the 9th "Judge Merrimon photographed to
Alexander K Nc Clure of Philadelphia
at4 o'clock P. M. today as follows; L
believe I am elected by majority of from
500 to 1000" There was much rejoicing
of the Liberal Democracy on the 10000
majority report. In New York they are
reported to have used the powder pro>
vidsd by the Republicans in firing 100
cannon in celebrating their victory. In
New York and many other places they
have had the celebration whether they
have had the victory or not. This may
answer their purpose on the principle
that Jewell told is as coed as the Truth.
