1t being proved to the satisfaction
of all good Grant men that Greeley,
Thompson, Holcombe y Co. burned
New York in the war, evidence be-
gins to thicken as to Greeley S
agency in burning Chicago last DC
tober. This, then, is the way the
vile deed was done:
Mr.. Greeley had a kicking COW
on his farm, and sold that COW to
Mrs. O'Leary, Of Chicago, and that
Mrs. OIearv was a warm admlrer
of Mr.. Greeley's bucolic essay. We
think we have established n link

FROM PIoCHE.
PIoCHE CITY,
August IL, 1872.

EDITOR REGISTER [ have been
travelling over White Pine, Nye and
Lincoln counties of late, and find,
with few exceptions, the Democracy
a unit for the Liberal ticket. Among
the exceptions may be found W. l..
Anderson and Judge Pitzer, both of
whom may be classed as very anxious
aspirants for the leadership OF the
Democracy. But, failing in being
the great lights and leaders, and
knowing they hadlost all chance, has
''soured' them. and at half after the
eleventh hour they have gone over
to the imperial Grant dynasty, and,
like others who took that step two
wears since and rode down with Tom
Fitch to the bottomless pit OF poll
ties. However, this is no business
of ours, so let them go. The De
mocracy of Nye, White Pine and
Lincoln will. rs a united body go for
Greeley and Brown not that they
are their choice, but as a necessity,
and for a higher purpose-that OF
saving II liberties. The Democ-
racv of Eastern Nevada make no pre-
tense of doing more than defeating
the corrupt rings who have controlled
Grant. and by so doing bred corrup-
ton through all the country, and
are travelling the road to centraIlza-
ton. But in adopting this course as
a policy, let not the Grant hlreIlnSS
think for once that We abandon our
distinct organization ; we are sun
Democrats. and upon that line we
intend to fight it out. We do not de
sire to abandon our organization or
give up a party whichhas so success
fully conducted a country from
weakness to power and greatness.
Our opponents may we'll be annoyed
at such unanimity =: we are hardly
less surprised, but It Is an accom-
finished fact the masses have arlseI

and strong pull, hurl Grant and THE

Political Mates

We are surprised that in their vindictiveness
the anti-Grant papers have forgotten to record
the fact that the notorious Charles A. Dana was
once devoted friend of the president. This is
almost as hard thing as could be said against
the president. This same Dana is now support
ing Horace Greeley Cincinnati Gazette.
Henry ID. Moore, formerly state treasurer of
Pennsylvania under Governor Curtin, writes
from ST. Petersburg that he is authorized TO say
for Mr.. Curtin that he earnestly desires the re-
election OF President Grant, and that neither
Curtin nor himself has any sympathy whatever
with the Greeley movement
George }. Bryan, proprietor of the Buffalo
Post, democratic paper of twenty-five years
standing, has put the Graut and Wilson ticket
at the head of his columns, and in vigorous
editorial in FRIDAYS issue declared he would
not be sold out to Greeley "by the automatons
who met at Baltimore and called themselves
democrats"
The Portland Oregonian SAYS that not one
half the democratic voters of Oregon will vote
for Greeley. The dickering politicians will sup
port him, but the great mass of the voters will
not.
Hon. T. NJ Howell, whose name has long been
a tower of strength TO the democracy of Ontario
county. n. Y, has declared for Grant. He SAYS:
81 cannot vote for Horace Greeley as demo-
cratic candidate for president OF the United
States. You have been pleased in your letter to
give to my action and vote more importance
than they deserved; but do not hesitate to say
that, as between Grant aud Greeley whatever
influence my action and vote NAV possess, it
shall be exerted in behalf of Gen. Grant"
The nomination of Gen. Charles A. Albright
for congressman-a t-large in Pennsylvania is
hailed with peculiar satisfaction by the repnb-
licans of that state. The Philadelphia Press
says that the republican nominations for con-
greSsmen-at-large in Pennsylvania are the best
and strongest that could have been made.
The Linn NO. Democrat says that more
pretgate and wasteful, if not corrupt, state ad-
ministration than the present has not at any
time cursed Missouri. The paper is democratic,
and does not believe in such reform as Graft
Brown brings.
The nomination of Charles H Lanphier for
treasurer of Illinois by the democrats and Gree
leyites has excited disgust even in their party,
and paper is being extensively signed demand
ing his withdrawal or removal.
The names of 1875 voters in Binghamton, n.
y, were attached TO call for a meeting held
there last night to ratify the nomination of
Grant and Wilson. The total vote last fall for
secretary of state was 1880, of which Scrlbner
(repubcan) received 1858.
The Morrisania IN. Y Journal, heretofore a
regular supporter of the democratic party, has
placed the names of Grant and Wilson at the
head of its columns; and it makes a strong and
emphatic declaration against Greeley and
Brown,
