Judge Mars prediction that New Jersey
would give Grant 10, 900 majority if the Demo-
Gratis nominated Greeley, seems likely to prove
true. We should not be at all surprised if he
had more than this. There was no State in
the Union in which the Democracy was more
hostile, to Greeleys pet aversion, and his
hatred of them was heartily reciprocated.
The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph has a
funny cartoon of "What Horace Greeley
Knows About Beats." The Chappaqua far
mer is contemplating the astonishing results
of his political farming in the form of huge
beets, marked Vermont, Maine, Pennsylya-
mia, Ohio Indiana, &C., and wrathfully says,
"Whoever says these are beats is liar, vii
lain and a slave" Greeley's little dog,
g Gratz Brown" is trying to get in hole,

The Tribune again unearths the Credit Mo-
bilier SANDER, and repeats lies that have been
over and over again, and in the most authori-
tative manner denied and refuted. 1t is a sig
nificant indication of the TribUne's demoraliza-
tien under its present management, that 1t
persists in this policy of SANDER, and
thinks it winning card. Some of the effects
of this policy have been shown i'll Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania. The Tribune is doing as
good service for Grant in New York, as the
BucEalew papers did for Hartranft in Pennsyl-
vania. Let it SANDER, and besmirch and throw

venge in November.
