WORTHY FoEMAN.
From The Minneapolis 1ftbuv
There is no Disgusting tho fact that Mr..
Greeley is both able man aud popular one-that the

many warm friends, and these may be found
alike among tho highest and tue humblest
classes Such IA not to be blown of the course by
crying "pooh, pooh," by denominating him and his
supporters ms soreheads." The the Republican
