REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Greeley's Conspiracy.

Greeley's Conspiracy.
The Binghamton Republican has been
publishing > synopsis of well founded evil
dence, proving beyond doubt that Horss
ace Greeley has been bargaining and sell
ing out his Republicanism for Presiden-
tial nomination, and that he has been in
the business for two years past. This ev-
idence which we quote is undenied, and
undeniable. The Tribune, (Greeley's pa
per, has attempted to answer some of the
charges, but has never dared to say the
evidsnce was untrue. The evidence dis
CLOSES the fact that a part of the villain
GUS project, was that in case the Tammany
ring and the slave holders of the south
would support Greeley, that he would
grant pensions to the rsbel soldiers, amt
he agreed to do it.
Below we give a part of the evidence

fact, we have that proof at hand.
