by themselves, it is not surprising that
intelligent men who had hoped for real
reform turn away impatiently, and that
the campaign of false pretenses langulsh-
es. "The Greeley movement" says the
New York World, els either a reform
movement or farce" Abandoned by
almost every one of the really conspicu-
Gus leaders of the Cincinnati effort, fran
tically hailed and supported by the most
utterly venal politicians in the country,
sustained by honorable Democrats only
at their party command, and by the great
body of ex-rebels in the desperate hope of
somehow undoing reconstruction, it is
certainly not a reform movement, and is
the most lamentable of farces. The plain
truth is that the situation of this country
is such that the people do not intend to
suffer a tried and true Administrator to
be overthrown and replaced by such a
miscellaneous coalition as the Greeley
movement presents. There is but one
element of it which commands any re-
spect whatever, and that is its smallest and
most unimportant part-the few retired
and well-meaning persons who think that
change means reform. But they rapidly
comprehend the real situation Some o

Right through the midnight air;

Not one cent did he care.

And his old spine a-doublin' up
As far as it would bend,
As If his hopes of happiness
Did on his lungs depend.

And waiting to attack
