A DissOIVing View.

The decay of the "Greeley movement is
becoming more conspicuous day by day.
Founded upon no principles, it was simply a
savage onslaught of the "outs' upon the
Gins" 1t started with a tremendous bang
and great rush of hungry men who lanced
that they saw their opportunity. Of course
in the furry, deluded by loud protestations of
lofty purpose, some good men with pure
desire for the public welfare, were swept into
the current. These are one by one coming
back into the ranks as the true purpose of the
movement and the kind of men who are lead
ing it become more clearly developed, and the
selfseeking leaders will soon be left without a
following. That result is already practically
attained in Maine, as the election of aext
Monday will abundantly prove. Advices
from all parts Of the country show similar
condition of things everywhere. The pitiful
failure of the whole disreputable business is
assured, and the Liberal Republican" ven
ture will take its place in History by the side
of the johnson movement as stupendous
political blunder

but a morbid action of the mind was
evident from exterior manifestations. At
halfpast o'clock an old family friend,
known as "Auntie Lamson," entered and
approached his bed. Mr.. Greeley was
then reused by his friends and asked,
" Do you know who this is?" He feebly
said, Yes" stretched up his hand in
greeting, and then relapsed into his rev.
erie. Later he was asked, "Do you
know that you are dyingp In the same
manner, without tremor or emotion, he
answered " Yes" Again, when asked if
he recognized Mr.. Reid, he looked up
with immediate recognition, lifting his
hand, grasped Mr.. Reid's feebly, and
said distinctly Yes" When asked il
he was in pain he laid his hand upon his
breast, but without otherwise replying,
returned to his semi-conscious state, ly.
ing now with closed eyes and hands,
sometimes twitching nervously, but gen.
orally still. AT halfpast six o'clock he
stirred uneasily, and began to mutter in
distinctly something which the friends
around him could not catch. His daugh-

On Saturday last the whole country
was thrown into state OF most unex-
pected surprise and sorrow. The death
of no man in our land at this time, save
that of the president, would probably
have created so much sadness or been
received with so much grief as that Of
Horace Greeley, and by none will he be
more sincerely mourned than the hun.
dreds of thousands who felt it to be their
duty to oppose his political position
the past few months.
The name of Horace Greeley has been
familiar in every household for a whole
generation. The weak and lowly have
ever looked to him for counsel, and the
unfortunate, IN season and out of season,
have never appealed to him in vain for
material aid Like the martyred Lin
coin, he never forget the common peo-
pie from whom he spraDg, and to all
mankind, without fear or favor, whether
political friend or Toe, he dealt with llhe-
raj hand and generous trust.
