The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1872-06-19

The best motto of the campaign il
that of Glcnni w. Scofcld, of Warren
1--WE are for the man that whaled
against the man that bailed Jefferson
Davis"
An exchange saws: The tanning
and the manufacturing business, this
season, will be unusually profitable.
Grant will tan the hides of the enc.
mics of equal rights, and Wilson will
make them up into shoes for liberty's
vanguard" 49,
The following from Grccley's pen is
as true as when he wrote it year or
two ago: The people of the United
States know Gen Grant-haycknoWn
all about him since Donelson and
Vicksburg They do not know his
slanderers, and do not care to know
them"
The New York World, like Rachel,
refuses to be comforted. 1t says :
"Greeley retrdcts none Of has catum-
MES he makes no apology for bear
ing false witness against us for thirty
long years: and yet he "eomes among
US, to adopted him as our party chief!
And, stranger still, there are some
among us faithless enough to emulate
Jobs wife and say to the party
Course Democracy and die!' y"
The Press says that it has been as
sured by members of the Indiana dele
cation that the failure to nominate Col
fax will make no difference in that
State. twill be carried by handsome
majority, and Mr.. Colfax himself will
take the stump and canvass Indiana
for the success of the ticket.
In the midst of the rejoicing at
Philadelphia, there came dispatch
over the wires, distance of three
thousand miles, from the State Of
Oregon, announcing a glorious Re-
publican victory there on Monday
Oregon has been under Democratic
rule for four years, but now has re-
turned to the Republican fold, prepa-
ratory to taking her place in the
Grant line next November.
BY way of commencing Greeley to
the Democracy, the Tribune claims
that the venerable blonde burlesquer
has frequently voted for Democrats
in municipal contests The Chicago
Post says that inasmuch as the mu-
nicipal officers in New York have
been almost invariably the most cor
rupt rascals to be found anywhere,
it does not appear that Horace de-
serves many thanks from the public
for his assistance in electing them.
The Lewistown (Me. Journal says
the Democracy of that section of the
Pine Tree State are unit for Gree
ley, and this is their reasoning. 1--WE
go for Greeley because it is the only
chance we have of getting into power
and We believed that when elected by
us, he will change his course and be-
come practically Democrat, as we
have noticed that men are usually
moulded by those who elect them to
Office; and our votes must elect him,
if he is elected at ALL"
The Baltimore american recon-
mends for motto above the doors of
the Baltimore Convention, a quota
ton from Greeley, as follows: "All
Democrats are not horse thieves, but
all horse thieves are Democrats. 1t
seems too bad thus to quote against q
man his own utterances, but Mr.. Gree
ley must submit to it with all the
patience he can, for he has not spared
the feeling Of others in the past, and
he has no right to expect mercy at
their hands, now that like poor Tray,
he is found in bad company, the very
ones he denounced so bitterly in the
past.
The Mobile Tribune declines, for
one, to be caught with party chaff.
1t doesn't care a rush whether the
the Baltimore Convention indorses
Mr.. Greeley or not. The Southern
people have had experience enough,
it SAYS, of alliances with the North
ern Democracy to make them chary
Of again committing the blunder of
furnishing pretext for the charge that
they were attempting to undo by
the ballot that which was accomplish
ed by the sword"
Horace Greeley made an address
last fall in Trumbull county, Ohio, in
which he said: II saw the other
day suggestion that l would proba-
bly be the best Democratic candidate
to run against General Grant for
President. / thought that about the
most absurd thing / ever heard or
read. If the Democratic party were
called upon to decide between Grant
and myself, Il know that their re-
gard for what they call principle
would induce nine.tenths of them to
vote against me-"
Brick Pomeroy draws the follow
ing pen picture of the Democratic par
ty: "Look at the Democrats of the
United States. A pack of fools! A
congregation of towards under the
lead of thieves. Three million of
men afraid to move. An army of
men without leader-a mob without
a head-a host without a name or an
idea! Where are the eaptains-the
leaders-the organi-
zers of the party! Asleep, drunk,
stealing or making bargains with po-
litical enemiesw
