PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
One of the Oldest papers in
johnson Co.. Mo-, tho Holden En-
Iterprise, made its appearance last
week. with the names of Grant
and Wilson flying at the mast
head for President and Vice Presi-
dent. 1t has heretofore been an
independent paper but leaning
towards conservatism. InmakiDg
the announcement the editor of
the Enterprise. says: "Men of
forethought in the Democratic
party whom eandor will permit the
avowal, must confess the disrup-
ton of the grand old party. The
Republican platform contains
every vital privilege necessary to
complete the work of reorganiza-
ton by the Republican party so
auspiciously begun, and happily
conducted by the administration,
and before the election it will be
recognized by more than three
fourths of the voters in the Union
as the palladium of liberty and the
peoples bill ofrights.
DEMOCRACY TO GREELEY.-On the
9th of July, at Baltimore, we may
expect a ceremony as follows {:
The President of the convention
will say to the Democratic party:
Wilt thou have Horace Greeley to
be thy candidate? Wilt thou love
Geeeley; comfort Greeley, honor
and keep Greeley in sickness and
in health; and forsaking all others,
keep only unto Horace as long as
We both shall live-and take Frank
Blair's cousin Gratz, in case
Greeley shall not live?
The party shall answer, 81 will. I"
Then the President shall say to
Horace: Wilt thou have this
Party to be thy welded husband,
to live together in the sweet estate
ofperpetual coalition? Wilt thou,
Greeley, obey the Democratic
party and serve it; love, honor
and keep it in sickness and health
and forseking all others, keep thee
only unto it so long as We both
shall live?
Horace shall answer, 81 will"
Then the President shall say !:
"May God have mercy on your
soulsy' 10
The spirit of Wigfall, thinking
the breaking up of the old Demo
cratic party was prelude of
GabriePs resurrection trumpet,
brought him from his grave, to
say that he's for Greeley,
I. A. Hendricks has been again
nominated by the Democracy of
Indiana for Governor, and Wash
DePaw for Lieut.. Governor. All
the nominations Of theConvention
were intensely Democratic, but the
Cincinnati nominations were en-
dorsed.
The Democrats are exhibiting
symptoms of intense disgust at
the rapacity of their Liberal allies.
There are just about enough of the
latter to NIL all the offices, and they
want the Democrats to furnish all
the votes and be satisfied with the
honor OF helping to "beat Grant. !"
"What useful purpose will be
subseryed, p the New York World
inquiries, @if the Baltimore Con-
vention indorses man who is
beaten from the startT' None, of
course; and therefore what's the
use of having a Baltimore Con
vention at all? Any man it can
nominate or inderse is certain OF
defeat. -FI r
The New York World makes
bold to predict that q within the
ensuing five weeks the bubbling
IGreeley froth will utterly subside. -
| 1t furthermore vouchsafes the
opinion that " as a Democratic
candidate pure and simple he is
the absurdest that could have heen
Imagined outside of q lunatiC
asylum" I5s .sec
/ The World rises to explain to &
| Utica mutton head who didu't
exactly see," ETC., in this wise
Very well. If you don't under
stand why Democrats cannot sup
port Horace Greeley, let us make
the matter clearer. Democrat
t0iH not support Greeley. Is tina
lplaIn?' Well, tolerable. w,
think we see your drift.
: The New York Sun charges that
f the Republicans want a Democra
nominated at Baltimore so as t.
divide the Liberal strength
l while the World afiirms that tn
Republicans clamor for the in
; dorsement of Greeley at Baltimor
for precisely the same purpose.
S makes but little difference whic
r is which, but it is funny to Sc
: Greeley, the shuttlecock of tw
lsuch battledorcs.
