Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1872-05-30
Political Notes,

AN interview with Judge cry Black
upon the political situation was publish
ed last Sunday morning. He said that
had the Cincinnati Convention raked
this world and the two adjacent it could
not have found filter man to be can
dldate, or more unfit one to be Presi-
dent, than Mr.. Greeley.
THE Delaware Republicans have in
structed their delegates to Philadelphia
to vote for the denomination of Gen.
Grant.
The New York Independent shares in
the almost universal distrust of Mr..
Greeley's administr, tive qualifications.
ltsays: AS leader, astandard- bearer,
wise and sagacious counselor, the
record of his life supplies abundant rea-
sons for believing that he would be a
signal failure. He has already commit
ted so many blunders that even his
warmest admirers trust his judgment
with caution
"GREELEY butter is offered to the
public by Kansas City grocer, who
takes that delicate way of intimating
that it is not very strong.
The Cincinnati nominations put UP
the price of gold per cent, and Secre-
tary Boutwell, took advantage of the
rise to sell treasury gold. So that the
country will make some profit out of
the Greeley and Gratz farce after all.
THE New York Nation says that all
those who called the Cincinnati Con-
vention acknowledged privately that
1t was failure; some Of them admit it
openly. Those who are supporting Mr..
Greeley are doing so simply by way of
making the best of a bad job. Not one
OF them considers him a desirable can
didate, or looks forward to his election
without grave apprehensions."
A. H. STEPHENS "goes for' Greeley
IN way not acceptable to the sage's
friend. He says sit is true that Mr..
Greeley did most magnanimous act in
standing bailfor Mr.. Davis; but in this
he acted part no more magnanimous
than Gen. Grant did, when he notified
to Mr.. Stanton that he would resign
his commission in the army
if Gen. Lee should be arrested in
violation of the parole given him on the
memorable surrender at Appomatox
Court House."
In its rage at the obstinacy of yoor.
hees and other recalcitrant Democratic
Congressman, the st. Louis Republican
spltefully blurts out chunk or two OF
truth that could hardly have been ex
pected from that quarter. 1T will be
refreshing" it says of these mulish
Bourbons, "to discover that they have
aly well-defned ideas as to their duty IN
this crisis. The country has looked to
them in vain, so far, for some slight
evidences of ability in the way of lead
e.ship." The Republican is entirely
right. Since the death of Douglas, the
party has not been able to discover in it:
ranks single individual possessing the
essentials for great leader.
The most prominent Democratic sup
porters of Greeley in New York ar.
John Morrissey, gambler, and Judg,
Ledwlth, who sold himself to Tamman
! for price. Tammany failed to deliver

FERRY has been reelected to the Uni
ted States Senate from Connecticut by
coalition of the Democrats and Greeley
ties. The Chicago Tribune thinks tina
"the significance of this event is over
estimated. 1t secures Connecticut t.
, Greeley and Brown beyond a rreadven
ture." And now comes the news tina
Ferry, being duly interviewed, declare
that he will never-never-vote 70
