The cue of the partisans of Grant at
this time is to appeal to the Liberai
Republicans In Ohio, Indians and
Pennsylvania to support the regular
Republican State tickets in those
States. They say, vote, if You, please
for Greeley in sNoyember, but don't
go back upon the local candidates OF
your old party in State and county
elections. This is supremely cunning.
They are aware if the Greeley tickets
are beaten at the first elections they
will hays no trouble in gaining the
second. Tho Greeley men who neg
Iect to vote right at the October eIec-
tions can do no good by their ballots
in, November. This truth cannot be
too stropgly impressed npOn our, lib
eral Republican friends. The Gree
ley vote will really be cast for Mr..
Hendricks for Governor in, Indiana,
for Buckalew for. Governor in Penn
sylvanias and for. General Wiley for
Secretary of State in Ohio, The cleo
ton of these men is the defeat OF
Grant. Their, defeat we fear, insures
bis success. Lot no Libersl Repnbli-
can who is for Greeley and Brown be
wheedled out of his vote for. them at
the first election.-t-I'o Dem. ~
