The Situation.

Recent reports from reliable men from every
county in the State indicate that the so called
Greeley movement is a failure. There are
doubtless few hundred Republicans whose
honesty of purpose we respect who would
have voted for Mr.. Greeley before he became
the candidate of the worst elements of the
Democratic party; but from what we can
learn, the greatpart of these will place the seal
of condemnption upon the attempt of the few
political Micawbers, who agreed at the meet
ing in this city last week, to bargain their
votes away to the Democratic candidate for
Governor. The Greeley leaders among the
Republicans, for the most part, are too well
known in their localities to secure any follow
ing. Their griefs are imaginary; their cru
SADIE against the President is of too personal
character; they are lacking the ability
and moral power to lead successful move
ment. They hope, by misrepresentation and
noisy harangue to lead a few thousand men
out of the Republican party. A dozen Gree
ley men in Penobscot, under the manipula-
ton of these long trained political hacks be-
come hundred when reported in the Kenne-
bee valley, five hundred in Portland, five thou
sand in Boston, and in the lying columns of
the New York Tribune, ''tidal wave of fif-
teen thousand which united with the Demo-
cratic vote will sweep the State of Maine for
Greeley like an avalanche" These leaders
working with the old Democratic leaders hope
bybluff, swagger neutrality-suspicious. to break
the Republican lines. They will fail the Greeley

greatest strength. Henceforth it will decline
as did the johnson movement.
From the best sources of information we
conclude that the Republican party will not
afford over a thousand votes for Mr.. Greeley
and these will be balanced by an equal num-
Der of Democrats who will not vote for him.
Gen. Grants majority in number will be one
OF the largest majorities ever given in the
State, while that in September will compare
most favorably with those of other active
campaigns.
These results, of course, are to be accom-
plished by hard work which is sure to be
DONE If the various committees of the Or
ganization will do their work as thoroughly
and promptly as in 1868, the victory will be
nearly as overwhelming. The situation is as
favorable in this stage in the campaign as it
was then, and the same effort will accomplish
similar results.
Let us meet the loud braggadocia and reck-
less misstatements of our enemy with quiet
and persistant work. Let us teach him once
more that the veteran Republican army can
not be sTAMPEDED BY BLANK CARTRIDGES

They have man at Lock Haven, in the
Keystone State, who rejoices in the name of
Gaudam. Were Mr.. Greeley to undertake to
run our great Government for four years, that
man would be very convenient for Horace to
have in the White House-just to speak to at
times, you know.
The Greenport Republican Watchmdn, and
the Port Jefferson Independent Press, the
most influential of the four Democratic
newspapers published in Suffolk County, N.
Y, refuse to advocate the election of Gree
ley and Brown.

ton, for reelection to Congress.
The Mormons and the Tammanyites are
said to be unanimous for Greeley.
The Republicans OF the Eighth District Of
Illinois have nominated Mr.. j. L. Fort fol-
Congress.
Quite number of prominent gentlemen
in this city, hitherto in full fellowship with
the Democratic party, are mooting the ques-
ton whether, if they must vote for Repub-
lican, they had not best take the genuine ar
ticle. And it is also noticeable that since
the Baltimore Convention many of those
counted on as leaning toward Liberal Repub-
licanism express themselves as satisfied that
their duty lies in the support of the Repub-
lcan ticket.-Neoo Hauen Journal.

The Republican National Committee has

The October contest will be close, but there
is every reason to believe that it will result in

The argus quotes from opinions of the
PRESS as to the ability and honesty of Hor-
ace Greeley. We have not yet denounced
him except for his political folly, and when
we stated that he was great man he was
dealing the Democratic party heavy blows
and the argus was reviling and ridiculips him
as "bran-bread philosopher The angel
Lucifer became so pulled up that his mad am
bitionled him toundertake to run the universe
He failed, and since that time with all good
people he is regarded as the ''fallen ANGEL
Ben Butler has been, in years past, praised
by the argus. Butler changed for the better
and as a natural consequence the Arqus
changed its mind. If Butler had continued
with JEFF Davis from 1861 to 1875, the argus
would have been no more severe upon him
than upon the latter illustrious Democrat.
The Argus lauds Mr.. Greeley now because he
has become Democrat, and the candidate of
that party.

Democratic Rrag.

Hon. W. W. Bolster of Dixield, formerly
President of the Maine Senate, arrived in
this city last evening from a two months
tour of the Western States, during which
time he Travelled extensively and spent sew
eral days in every State between Ohio and
the Territory of Dacotah. His business
brought him in contact with men of all class
es and his report of the political statusi of
affairs in those States is most cheering and at
the same time decidedly amusing. So far as
the great North West is concerned, there was
no doubt expressed by men of either party
that it would go solid for Grant and Wilson
by larger majorities than ever, but he was in
formed that great "tidal wave'' had started
from New England, which was to overwhelm
the country-that Maine was sure for Greeley
by $4,000; Massachusetts by $4,000 and Yer
mont by 10,000-that Gen. Butler and many
other prominent men here had taken the
stump for the philosopher of the white hat
and that the ID was to pay generally in
New England. This kind of talk is the sta
pie of Democratic sheets of the West, and ev-
en- the Republicans begin to fear it may be
true. He met scores off old Democrats who
denounce Greeley and say they shall vote for
Grant. On every train votes were being Ia
ken to gather the popular sentiment, and he
says he never saw vote where Grant had less
than three to Greeley's one, and on one train
out of 30 votes in the car in which he was
riding, Greeley had but one vote and that was
from delegate to the Baltimore Convention.
He says he was never more amused than when
he read Gratz Browns cherry speech at New
Haven, wherein he tells of the great wave
coming from the West, for no such wave
exists-but it is the terrible New England
wave they are looking for out there.
What an eye opener the West will get in
September, when Vermont and Maine roll.up
their old fashioned majorities, and bury, with
their Republican wave, the hopes of the
Greeley corperheads-for since the creation.
no such game of brag has ever been attempt
ed on an intelligent community.

Chance for Democratic Brasrers

The Kennebec journal says
A responsible gentleman, noticing the loud
boasts in Democratic papers about carrying
Maine for Greeley, authorizes us to offer the
following bets-viz:
500 that Grant carries Maine.
An additional 500 on every thousand of
his majority up to and including %, 900, max
ing in all $4,000. The money is on deposit
at the Granite National Bank. Will any
Democrat dare to take it?
Will the Argus publish this, Or have they
been despoiled enough?

ANNExATIoN.-A correspondent of the Prov
Mence Journal, writing from St. John, N. B.
says of the annexation feeling in that province
Not in the least prepared for it, we have been
all the more surprised to find such delightful
feeling here towards the States. Everyone is
for annexation, and speaks of it as thing sure
to happen sooner or later. Whether this feel
ing owes its existence to the inclination which
the mother country has lately developed to
throw the provinces on their own resources, it
is not worth while to inquire, but that they are
burden to her, as the home government claim
is something that cannot be borne out by fig
ures These show, according to Mr.. Archibald
Hamilton, that the Dominion annually imports
from England at the rate of $50 per head while
the States, always supposed to be her best for
eign customer, import only tenth as much.
Yet for all this the London Times has recently
declared that the North American colonies
contribute nothing to the revenues of the en-
pire, and that they are not an element of p olit-
ical strength.

A CHARGE WHICH CANNOT BE DENIED
The Cleveland Daily Leader reminds the public
of fact which ought not to be lost sight of,
and which is of some interest in its bearings on
the present political contest:
'sThe New York Tribune, which was and is
now, under the supreme editorial control of
Horace Greeley, accepted from Tweed, Connol-
ly, Mayor Hall & Co., a New York city adver-
Using contract ranging from $50 600 to 800, 900
per annum, with the tacit understanding that
the Tribune was to say nothing abont the gi-
gantic expense of the city government and
frauds OF the above named managers. The
Tribune kept its part of the contract till it was
compelled to speak out by the tremendous
force of public opinion, six weeks after the
Times made its expose of the fact that the
Tammany ring had stolen $20,0O0,OO0 from the
public treasury. Mr.. Greeley as Tribune
stakeholder, pocketed his share of the bride Is
it any wonder that the Tammany thieves,
Tweed, Connolly, Sweeny, Hall, Brennan, Wood
and the rest, should have celebrated the NOM
ination of Greeley with rejoicings.
