A few DAYS after this the Richmond En-
ouirer began series Of backward ana LOT
ward. and chase and cross-over movements
that were remarkable alike for their GOODNESS
and rapidity. Starting with stronger terms
of approval Of the Cincinnati ticket than any
other Democratic paper In the United States,
a. far no we know, 1t has since derlded It ana
denounced it, supported 1t and repudtated IT,

HE "A were those of the witch In hirk-a'io-
way, which BURNS gave up as beyond the
mower of his pen to portray. Through these
amazing mazes came along the Enquirer
down to Yesterday, when, with refreshing
GOODNESS that puts ice to shame, it says
ave have simply done our duty. We
bonestly believe, with all the lights before
MS. that the nomination OF Mr.. Greeley at
Baltimore will secure the election OF Gftant.
With that conviction could We insist upon
bs endorsement? Personally, we have
nothing against Mr.. Greeley more than every
other southern man may have against INN,
Int we do not now believe he Is available.
We fear a repetition of the disaster OF 'GS'
And this paragraph swallows Zip the fol-
lowing, which appeared on Saturday last in
that paper:
at is too late -now, however, to recede.
The issue is made, and it is Greeley OF
nothing. We must concentrate the entire
Democratic vote upon him, and elect HIM.
We can do it, and achieve Democratic vic
tory"
Thus setting out in the beginning with the
declaration that the Cincinnati ticket was
the =" very strongest that could have been Sc
lected," and that 1T would prove the
" hardest wall" that GRANT :" ever butted
his bullet-head against starting thus
when there were no signs to guide it,
right upon the instant Of the nomination.

declared in favor Of the ticket it so I'LL

would avoid now by another " straght-out"
ticket.
The reader may well ask, What sort of pa
per is the Enquirer The question is UNI
answerabls. Like worm, it took passage
on the Liberal ship the day that it sailed, and
immediately crept down into the keel and
began to eat into it with all its strength.
Indeed, the Enquirer is helping GRANT,
and is worthy of that applause of the GRANT
organ which has been so patronizinsly be-
slowed upon it. 1t is owned by somebody,
of course-the public knows not by whom.
1t is under the management Of Board OF
Directors, of which the Hon. Mr.. KELLEY,
Mayor Of this city, is president. That is oil,
we believe, that is public concerning it; but
this rather increases than diminiShes tie
