TIE New York Herald reports a
conversation with General Grant, in
which the cause Ct Greeley's hostility
to the President was explained:
"G.eeley never made any personal
complaint to me about government al.
fairs. He first grumbled through his
Taper, l believe, aud thon his spokes-
men, as they called themselves, came
grumbling to me about his not getting
more Of the patronage Of the govern
ment to dispose Of. The truth about
Greeley is, he has been always sur.
rounding himself with men Of disrep.
utable character and wanted to put
them into important Offices. l could
not provide for all of them, and most
of them I could not afford, the country
itself could not afford, to trust in any
decent place. I had afterwards to re.
move, for lncompetency or miscen.

worthless men in the country if l had

Paul. They are to "clasp hands over
the bloody ch;sm."
There was grand gathering of Re.
publicans in Chicago on last Friday
evening, in an open-air meeting to or
ganizc Grant and Wilson Club. An
eloquent and telling speech was made
by Gov. Oglesby. 1t was rouslng
meeting, trimming over with earnest.
ness and enthusiasm.
Even Worries, the bitter Democratic
Congressman from indiana, whose Sc.
cession principles are notorious, and
who at first strongly opposed Greeley's
nomination, has made speech accept
ing him. He is fully satisfied that the
interests of the Democratic party will
be abundantly cared for should Mr..
Greeley be elected, and that through
him lie. the only road to tho breaking
down Of the Republican party.
Winona has Grant club numbering
over five hupdred voters. On Friday
evening a rousiug ratification meeting
was held, at which stirring speeches
were delivered by Senator Window,
Hon. NJ. Il. Dunnell, Hon. Thos.

nomination.
Mr.. Sumner as late as Monday, the

ed to the Senator to draw from him an
expression of opinion as to their duty.
At a Grant aud Wilson ratif cation
meeting in New Haven, Conn, on
Thursday night, ten thousand persons
were present. The utmost enthusiasm
prevailed. Among the speakers was
Hon. Thos. II. Bond, who has been
Democratic member of the State SEN
ate and candidate Of the Democracy for
Lieutenant Governor: He took the
ground that the Democratic party had
sold out, and that between Grant and
Greeley he must choose Grant, as be-

Atwater, once a candidate Of the Demo-
Gratis for Lieut.. Governor, was one of
the Vice Presidents of the meeting,

TIE New York Tribune claims that
"there are but txo Democrats in South

harbors the first gun turned against
tho United States was fired. Nat.

REMUNERATION OF GENERAL
AVERILL.

The hearsiuess, unanimity and good
will which marked the denomination Of
Gen. John J. Averill for Congress- by
the Republican Convention on Thurs.
day last was fairly Indicative of the
feeling which prevails throughout the
District. The propriety of the re-
nomination has not at any time been
doubted by those who appreciated the
sdvisability Of having as the candidate
Of the Republican party one Who pos
sessed such elements Of personal popu-
larity as guaranteed success at the polls.
Gen. Averill deserved this endorse.
ment by reason OF his good works. his
course in Congress, while it may not
have been such as to gain him
any national notoriety, has made him 4
very acceptable Member for the people
Of the District. His labors have been
quiet, steady and unpr.toudiog, bur
they have been very effective. The de-
mards Of District so extensive as tina
are very exacting, and Congressman
who docs his duty will End the position
nything but siuecure. That Gen
Averill has done his whole duty no one
attempts to deny. Eveo the opposition
is compelled to acknowledge his eff
cheney. The St. Paul Dispatch says i:
"Geu. Averill has been faithful work.
ing member and is entitled to tho Gu.
dorsement Of bis party. The only re-
g1et is that he belongs to the wrong
party )" and the Pioneer admits that he
is ''persoually unobjectiouaole to DEM
ocrats and Liberal Republicans" He
will certainly be returned for another
term. by large majority.
