them Then ana scratched the HefofmefS %
vigorously, anil kept up such catsrwauling
while hs was about it, that his present co-ad-
TUTORS hated him with hatred that bad no
discount. In September, 1870, Greeley char
scterised ths reform movement - = conspir-
soy TO destroy the Republican partf.' he
was speaking Of the Carl Shurs and Gratis
Brown organisation in Missouri. In The same
article, be goes ON to say:
"0overnor NcClurg Of Misssuri was among
those marked ont for prostration by this con-
splracy. Accordingly, We were nowiee sur
prisel when . minori y Of the late Rspub.
Iical Convention ut Jefferson City, finding
that they could not defeat Gov. AcClurg's re-
nomination, B0LTED resolved themselves into
. hostile body, and nominated B. Gratis Brown
tor Governor, with full ticket to match.
Right well these boilers knew that they could
poll but . small portion of the Republican
vote but the Democrats had declined BY
pIeccncert to nominats . ticket, and will poll
their full vote forithe boilers ticket and this,
II is hoped, will elect it,,
Here We find him giving his opinion Of B.
Crate Brown. the man with whom b 10 nov
yoked in the scrub race they are making for
the Presidency. Brown did not thea gil
high place in Mr.. Greeley s estimation. Brown

that he was th,nl How is 1t with our Chinese
sage? Was be honest then or now3 !,
Now, ono of the most obstreporous bowls
of Mr.. Greeley is c.nceI ming the removal of
all political disabilities. His bowels Of COM
passion are moved over the unhappy ineligi-
bility Of JEFF. Davis to hold q national Office.
But when Mr.. Greeley wrote the article from
which have quoted, he was in . state Of
darkness and error. Then be stigmAtised the
"The Missouri bolt was arranged in WASH
ington. last winter and then procla;msd BY the
free-trade organs. The game was 70 get
minority Of The Republicans to unite with al
the Democrats and revolutionize the State.
To this end an issue on enfranchisement was
Indispensable. Tho Democrats were not al
free-traders but they all wanted the rebels en-
franchised snd would vote any ticket to Sc
cure that end. The Republicans were divided
ON enfranchissment; some believing that the
time for ]: had come, others that it had cot.
When therefore Carl Schurx in bullying, ir-
ritating speech insisted that the Bepablicaa
Convention should make enfrauchisenent .
plank Of its platform the answer was obvious:
"You ask US to assert falseh0od-nanely.
that We are all in favor of enfranchisement,
when some Of as are not.'' The Republicans
adopted platform which left every one free
10 vote for or against enfranchisemeut as he
judged best. Hereupon the predetermined
bolt was made. We warn TIE Republicans
that the pretext was a sham that enfran-
chisement was certain 10 be carried anyhow /;
that the real object Of the belt was to hand
the State over to sham Democracy aud trade
And that 10 the naked TRUTH"
Truthfully and we'll spoke Mr.. Greeley then
and when now, in the rawlings of bis mid
summer Madness he calls black white, and
white black, We will appeal from Horace mad
TO Horace lucid-we " i'll ccafy:.e Greeley by
extracts from Greeley. It would make an in
terminable chapter to cite all the gross con.
tradictione Of Grceley's course. We shall
only further cite him in regard to the Illus
trious soldier AMI judicious statesman who il
now President OF the United States. We
know how Greeley now execrates him and
his Administrative the Tribune seethes

Horace Greeley into court before he was .

Plate had joined hands. In June, 1868, the
following 10 the testimony of our witness
