The Great R.under.

There are those who say that the
Democratic party killed the Greeley
movement. by its endorsement, that it is
impossible to relieve The Northern mind
Of the conviction that the Democratic
patty is the old anti war secession par
IL. and once in power would undo the en-
re results of the war" This may be
so; bot the vote proves there were so
few Greeleyi;es outside the Democratic
party, it don't make much difference
who did kill them So let the matter
rest. To our opinion the great bluuder
was. that the Cincinnati aud Baltimore
conventions didnt consult two or three
fellows about Hickma We know of.
