The Ne,C- Yorker DemOLrGt, yesterday, con-
tanned an article strongly condemning the publication
in The Neir York Times of the speech attributed to Mr.

The Cincinnati Commercial has sustained Mr..
Greeley consistently since his nomination. but IN answer
TO certain inquiries directed at him, the edtor Of me

Referring to certain complaints maze against
Mr.. Greeley. The Springfield Republican says: IF the
organs are wise they will not harp too much upon the
Greeley TO prefer
water TO whisky The fact that he believes IN the theory
of total abstinence and prscticed all his busy and
honorable life, may lose him the votes OF such OF our
oreignborn citizens as are unable TO see that e ffe
dent OF the United States Is far less formidable enemy

not going hurt him with the great mass Of American

feel safer under a President who has never been
drunkard himself, and who viii not DC apt 10 select
drunkards to I'LL important public trusts"
A Democrat who is vouched for by The
Netrark Journal Of the purest and most patriotic
members OF the party, and "whOse record Is written in
the brightest pages of State and history" writes on
the Democratic policy in the present emergency: No
candidate for President named IN the Convention dd or
could have any chance of being elected unless supported
by the Democratic party. III mT; Greeiey re-
ceiyes that support he can ana VIII OBTAIN moro

Senator Schurz is just now an object of
special attention alike to Administration and
Revenue Reform indictments. The Times, after de-
nouncng him as man who ought to have his leg tied
to his DESK and ringing the gamut Of reckless charges
and low abuse against him. suddenly discovered that no
was man OF high honor and great ability and might be
expected to revolt against the nominations at Cincin-
natl The Erening Post declares its firm conviction
that he cannot support the Cincinnati nominations be-
cause Of his devotion to Revenue Reform. Finally the
NeV-Yorh Siadts Zetung sets forth that although
dissatisfied with the results at Cincinnati there Is dan

pediency to give more or less emphatic support to the
enough to inform him that his eminent talents would be
lost the country, and his hold lost upon ms German
support. Those attempting TO organize opposition to
the Cincinnati ticket In the ranks of the Liberal Repub
Leans also greatly concerned about Mr. sumner They

man TO declare himself and longer keep his poses

perhaps A. II. s. Of The Atlanta Ga sun is legitimate
