Nine men published aliidavits in
the Cincinnati Ei11uirsr of Tues
day, stating that they were paid 81
each to carry torches in Grant
procession. Money makes enthu-
siasm for Grant.
"A touching sight" says the Pitts
burgh Posi-, sis Mosby, the guaril-
la, and William Lloyd Garrison, the
Northern abolitionist, who pro-
nounccd the Constitution "a league
with death and covenant with HE'LL
'clasping hands across the bloody
chasm' and bowling in unison for
Grant and corruption"
Gov. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, is
actively at work for Greeley. lie
says: eve want our children, in
discussing elections, to have some
other topic than past war among
themselves. Until this be accom-
plished, there can be no true broth
erly affection among the people of
all sections Of our great country"
A correspondent writing from
Sonora county, Cal, says: "In
November next California will give
Greeley and Brown at least 10000
majority, and, if the Grant press
traduce his character and seek to
detract from his well-earncd fame
as a statesman, the majority will be
larger"
Wendell Phillips, in his Swamp
scott speech of 1871, said: "Gen-
tlemen, the Republican party is
dead; the only mistake is that it
fancies itself alive and resists burial.
The party has nothing to do and
proposes nothing. #.."
The tide in favor of Greeley is
rapidly rolling in thousands who
have formerly declared that they
never could vote for him of the
Tribune, but in this crisis in our
national affairs it would be mar
row-minGel patriot indeed who
could not sacrifice his personal pre-
judice for the good of the common
country. The Grant people are
thoroughly frightened for their
great gift-taller, and well they may
be alarmed for the days of his reign
are numbered.
In 1871 Grants bcef-eaters in
the first revenue district of Georgia
collected the sum of S4l ,929.S7, at
an expense of $4,000, which is a
fractian over 81 per cent! There
are four districts in Georgia, and
the question arises why they were
not consolidated so as to save this
S24,O 900 to the tax payers. The
answer is obvious. That $4,000
went TO lot of place men to pay
them for doing the political work
of the district, to sound the praises
of Grant and secure his reelection.
And that is the way the administra-
tion h.vors civil service reform.

vcntion at Louisville, on the 9Th,
