A FEW PLAIN WORDS.

The people of this country are now
called upon to determine whether they
will again accept General Grant fo1
President, with the possibility, say, Of
his administration proving no better
than the present one, or experiment
with Mr. Greeley and run the risk OF
obtaining an improved condition of
affairs in the government Without
wishing to lessen the fame of Mr..
Greeley in the least, there is certainly
nothing in his past career and history
which can be produced as answering
for a guarantee that the interests of the
nation would be any safer in his hands
than under the guardianship of Gener-
al Grant. 1t is hard, indeed, to con-
vince the people that the administra-
ton of Mr.. Greeley would not be more
corrupt than any of its predecessors.
He has the disappointed politicians of
both parties following in his wake,
who are only giving him their support
in the hope that emolument and office
will be the sure reward of their devo-
ton to his cause. Tammany does not
give its adhesion to Greeley and Brown
out of pure feeling of disinterested
patriotism. The leaders of this cor
rupt ring have in view controlling in
huenee In the administration of Mr..
Greeley. He has never fought Tam
many, and Tammany has it now in It's
power to assist him, which it is doing
most strenuously. The democratic
party, as a whole, may very reasonably
expect, in case Mr.. Greeley is elected,
to have control over the President and
the reorganization of the Government,
when they can show. that to them he
was indebted for at least nine-tenths Of
his votes. The election of Mr.. Gree
ley, then, means the restoration of the
democratic party. and our Liberal Re-
publican friends may as well make up
their minds to this fact, nauseating as
it may be to them. This result fol-
lows as natural consequence, the lar
ger body always absorbing the smaller.

New York sporting reporters who
saw the great trot at Fleetwood PARK,
generlly contend that Goldsmith Maid
was beaten on her merits, the slight
crack in her heel Oh which she was
withdrawn being mere subterfuge
Fleetwood Course is full mile, with
sharp hill! in the three quarter stretch,
and American Girl fairly out trotted
the Maid, scoring the best time in the
Fleetwood record, the previous best
time being 2.2l4, having been made
by Goldsmith Maid herself two years
ago. Good judges also claim that
American Girls time, considering the
track, equals the best of Goldsmi tn
Maids performances.

BALTIMORE NOMINEES.

The Democratic National Convention
at Baltimore last week nominated the
Liberal Republican candidates, and
thus We have Greeley and Brown as
the regular Democratic nominees for
President and Vice President against
the regular Republican candidates,
Grant and Wilson. This narrows the
issue down squarely between the two
parties, and the voter is left no other
alternative than to select between the
Democratic and Republican nominees.
The Liberal Republican programme
will receive no consideration in this
campaign it has been completely over
Swallowed by the action of the Dem
ocracy at Baltimore. The considerate
Democrats have taken the child born
at Cincinnati and adopted it as their
own. No attention will be paid to the
child's parentage, it being considered
inadequate. to the task of taking prop
er care gifts offspring, and giving it
the nourishment necessary to make
the dear one what they wish it to
become. No candid thinking man, and
especially no Republican, can fail of
performing his duty in the present pol
itical crisis, or hesitate for moment
about his choice Grant and Wilson
on the one side able and faithful rep
resentatives of the party which has
conduced more than any other politi-
cal organization to the life and well
fare of the nation, and Greeley and
Brown on the other, who, to satisfy a
dishonorable ambition, nave lent them
selves to the Vaccinations of a crowd
of disappointed politicians, and sur
rendered into the hands of the corrupt
Democracy in the vain hope that eleva-
ton to power will follow these disgrace
full combinations.

Once Mr.. Greeley said, IF there
were not a newspaper nor common
hool in the country, the Democratic
party would be far stronger than it is. "
The country is strong In newspapers
and common schools, however, and
curiously enough at this hour, this
strength is Greeley 5 weakness.

NEW York FOR GRANT.-The New
York Times has canvassed the State of
New York thoroughly for the political
feeling, and ascertained that Greeley
has failed to develop any considerable
support for himself in the Republi-
can party, while there are few New
York Democrats who will vote for
Greeley than was supposed. The
Times gives assurance that the Empire
State is sure for Grant and Wilson by
a very large majority.

Beware

This outrage SO worthy to be compared
with the operations of the Klu Klux ia tie
South, deserves the excavations of all good
| citizens, and we are glad to know meets
with general condemnation from every side.
1t is sad to consider, however, that there is
even "A single individual among US who
would 50 far endeavor 10 violate law and
order, and b: instrumental in bringing
shame and contempt on our city, by thus, in
n most cowardly and contemplate manner,
mark ing out for punishment certain citizens
of the place. The position of these men on
our bond matters would afford no excuse for
the preparation of this dastardly outrage.
There have been many honest differences of
opinion among the citizens of Waterto wn
as to the best mode Of settling our indebted
ness, and all have had a perfect right TO
their opin ION ON this as well as on other
matters, without being subjected to the
threats and ntimidationS of those they
differ with. 1t happens in tne case.of these
gentlemen served with notices of their COM
ing doom, that it has ever been their de-
sire to have our bond matters settled on the
best possible basis for the interest of the
city at large, and they have always labored
to bring about this result.
Thus far all efforts to discover the parties
committing this villainous act of intimida-
ton have proved fruitless, although several
are suspected. 1t is hoped that they may
soon be found and receive the punishment
they so justly deserve. We may safely
challenge the annals of heartless rascality
to exceed the cruelty of these e~il-doers in
leaving coffin and notice at the residence
of Mr.. Werlich when it was well known at
the time that he was on sick bed, not ex-
pected to survive from day to day, a cond-
lion he still remains in.

of which are metal and is possessed of the

not quite one inch in length. ut is voiced SO
as to be capable Of producing as great power
as can be obtained fIom any organ of its
