THE CAM PAIcN.
Mr. Greeley Thinks He Could Garry Kansa
the Democrats Weren't Hitchcd on to Hin

An amusing anecdote comes TO us
from Printing-house square, New York,
which shows with what faculty Mr.. Gree
ley can account for the strangest things.
Mr.. Anthony, of this State, met Mr.. Gree
ley on the street in New York, when the
latter asked: well, Anthony, what can
you do for me in KansasY Nothing,
much we'll beat you by about twenty
thousand majority replied Mr.. Anthony.
'Oh, WE'LL said Mr.. Greeley, wiping his
face with yard square of red cotton cloth,
you couldn't do it if hadn't the Demo-
Gratis hitched to me- Positively our bland
philosopher thinks the Democrats clog the
wheels of his Imaginary triumphal chariot,
but as they have caught up behind, like q
good-hearted driver, he won't whip them
off.
Mr.. Greeley's Readiness to Turn JEFF. Davis
Over to Ben Wade and "a Cabinet of Like
Radical Faith"
When the impeachment of President
johnson was fully resolved on, and there
was, for some weeks, fair prospect that
Mr.. Wade would soon be President, with
Cabinet of like Radical faith, suggested
to some of the prospective Presidents next
friends that had Jefferson Davis still on
my hands, and that if he were considered
handy thing to have in the house might
turn him over to the new administration
for trial at an hours notice. The sugges-
ton evoked no enthusiasm, and | was not
encouraged to press it."-Horace Greeley.
The Democratic objective Point.
1t is we'll understood by this time that
the Democratic leaders care more for the
next Congress than they do for Greeley.
On this point the Buffalo Express says!
They know very we'll that with Demo-
cratic majority in Congress they could con-
troll Mr.. Greeley as they pleased, and would,
therefore, be masters of the situation. As
an evidence that this is their design, there
is the fact that wherever nominations are
made for Congress by the fusionists the
candidate is taken from the Democratic
branch of the firm. There is plausible
excuse for this course, which will do much
toward warding off any suspicion that
might otherwise attach to their insisting
upon having these nominations made from
their ranks. They have but to say to the
scattering soreheads: DO we not sup
port Greeley, an out-and-out Republican,
for the first office i'll the nation !; and is not
our 5000, 900 votes for President fair off
set to your beggarly few for our member
Of Congress p Such an appeal will gene
rally prove eflectual, and in the use of this
argument the Democracy not only hope to
secure all the congressman that the oppo-
sition can elect, but the State and other To-
cal offices as we'll. Their support of Mr..
Greeley is the stock in trade with which
they hope and expect to make large gains
in Congress. if not to secure control of it,
beside capturing some Of the State govern.

PuDgent Questions.
The New York .Staats Zcaung makes the
following remarks:
"How ridiculous it seems when the pres
ent Democracy is spoken of as party
having right to enforce discipline and
obedience. Where does that Democracy
exist, and who is entitled to that name?
Is it the crowd of wire-pullers and dupeA
who at Baltimore could find no plat
form or candidates of their own,
but were inspired by ticket
which at Cincinnati had been forced upon
the Liberal Republicans by network of
intrigues ? Are they the men who waved
their hats for the Liberal banncr-bearer,
with whose nomination even Schurz was
disguised? Is a triumph by bargain, wire
pulling, and swindling, a triumph for DEM
ocratic principles, and must a strict and
sincere Democrat kneel down before an old
intriguer who for the past thirty years has
been the bitterest enemy ofthe Democracy"
How Greeley Meeting was Surprised
Col. James Scovel and other g Liberals"
engineered Greeley and Brown reform"
meeting at Cape May, last week, and as
thev had captured colored man, by the
name of Jacob Wilson, whom they'thought
a Greeley man, they demanded that he
should make speech. He consented at
last, and this is what he said: "Ladies and
Gentlemen: / have been brought here TO-
night for the purpose of making Greeley
speech, but / am not for Greeley. Horace
Greeley of to-day is not the Horace Greeley
of twenty years ago, and never will vote for
any man who places himself at the head of
a party who have been trying since its be-
ginning to trample me in the dust" They
pulled him down, and Scoyel tried to make
a speech, but the audience was composed
of more than three-fourths Grant men, and
what he said against Grant was received
with groans, combined with cheers for
Grant,
all Over the state-Democratic Libels An
swered.
A telegram, dated 9th, from Indianap-
oils to the New York Times, says:
$ The most cheering news comes from
all parts Of the State Of the great interest
taken by the people in Republican meet
ings, and the work of the campaign. Eve
ry prominent speaker is greeted by inn
mense crowds, and the clamor for more
exceeds the ability of the State Central
Committee to supply. Grant clubs have
been organized in every couHty in the State,
and at meetings companies are regularly
detailed to escort speakers and to be in at
tendance. Governor Fairchild, Of Wiscon-
sin, begins a series of appointments next
Saturday; Governor Noyes, Of Ohio, next
Monday, and General John A. Logan on
September 5. Five grand rallies will be
held in the State tomorrow, to be adj
dressed by such speakers as Senator'S Nor
ton and Pratt, George Browne, William
Cumback and General Veatch. Hon. En-
DRY A. Stors, of Chicago, speaks here to-
morrow night. A rousing meeting will
greet him. Recent dispatches in the Dem.
ocratic papers, charging the Republicans
wikh importing men into the State from the
| South, are but blind to cover their own
nefarious transactions. The Democratic
leaders are well known as unscrupulous
men. and they will resort to any scheme
