CAMPAIGN NOTES.

w It's toss-up which is the most dis
guted at the company they have get into, the
Democracy or the Liberals.
80 Vice President Colfax, in a letter to
a friendin Washington, says there is no doubt
for Indiana. She is sure in October, and
will swell the electoral majority for Grant
and Wilson in November.
~ Greeley must not be blamed for fall
ing behind in the race. He cannot run very
fast. He has the Confederacy on his back,
Tammany in his arms, and North Carolina
tar sticking to his heels! Pity the sorrows
of the poor old man.-RocheSter Democrat.
~ The last political bon mot is this:
"You'n vote for Greeley, of course" said
white Liberal" to Mr.. Mitchell, who was
Sergeant in colored regiment, and lost
leg in the war. "My stump will have to
grow first,' was the retort of the crippled
Sergeant.
The broad farce of Greeley's visit to
his native land is well shown up in a brief
paragraph by the Boston Traveller, which
says: ''Mr. Greeley's deep affection for the
neighborhood of his nativity may be judged
by the fact that he did not visit that neigh
borhood at ALL"
Senator Cameron, after careful view
of the situation, reports that the disaffection
neyites in Pennsylvania, never had any
strength outside of the city of Philadelphia,
and that its effects there are rapidly dimin-
1shlng. He confidently predicts the success
of the Republicans in that State in the COM
ing elections by decided maiorities.
rB paroxysm of unwonted candor,
the New York World says: eve will frankly
admit that we ourselves, although support
ing Mr.. Greeley, should be unwilling to sub
NIT the financial policy of the country to bis
uncontrolled personal guidance. We have
been strenuously combating his economic
notions ever since we came into the arena of
journalism; and it would be absurd for us to
profess implicit faith in his financial wis dom,
when in fact we have no faith in it whatever,
and never had"
sw@The Democratic organs are claiming
Robert T. Lincoln, the son of the eX-Presi-
dent, as Greeley man. This is not true.
Mr.. Lincoln is now in Europe, but his per-
sonal friends in this city assure us that lis
an ardent Grant man. 1t is a remarkable
fact that not only the son of Abraham Lin
coin, but also the two sons of Stephen A
Douglas, are Grant men; Robert M. Dou-
gas, the ex-Senator's older son, is among
the most active workers at Washington for
Grants e-election.-Chicago Journal
Senator Wilson has been interviewed
ia Boston. The Senator said, General Grant
will carry two-thirds, or twenty-seven States
of the Union" ''Do you suppose he will
carry New York;" the interviewer asked.
The reply was, 81 do; and even should he
fail he will still have more than enough left.
You have only seen the opening of the cam
paign. The hot weather is not quite over
and great deal of work is to be done be-
fore we touch the climax. When we reach
that, the enthusiasm for Grant will sweep
the country
- In recent speech at Worcester Mass.
Hon. George F. Hoar presented the follow
ing effective comparison of the two Pres-
Dental candidates "Greeley would have
let the South go ; Grant conquered them
Greeley encouraged the rebellion; Grant de-
stroyed it. Greeley would nave PAID the
Grant would educate the freedmen. Gree
ley, more than any one man in the country,
is responsible for Bull Run Grant for Don
elson, Henry, Vicksburg, Appomattox.
Greeley would leave the colored man half a
slave; Grant would enforce for him those
civil rights which every citizen ought to
have"
