II the Democrats and Liberals lad been
inconsistent in joining together in this new
right in the main. 1Ir. Greeley has been in
consistent in his way ss an humble explorer in
the march of development, but the people hon
ored and admired him, and he beloved LIE
would make good President. All accorded Mr.
Greeley honesty and sincerity of purpose.
Of Grant he should not say an unkind word.
It is an easy matter for men to start enthus-
iasm by blackening the character of another.
If he could not make his way to preferment
otherwise than by the ruin and degradation OF
his fellows, he would be coutented to occupy an
humble position, and pass through life union
ored and unsung:
WHAT IT COST TO CARRY PENNSYLVANIA
HARTRAHFT.
Special Dfspaich to The Chicago Tribune.
New YoaK, Oct 2o.-A Philadelphia cores
poedent, who has good facilities for ascertaining
what is enacted in the Grant campaign in that
State, says the amount expended by the State Re-
publican Committee to elect Hartranft amount
ed to three million dollars. The re-
volt Of Mcclure, Curtin, Fo1ney,
Hickman, Moorheed, Marshall, and
dozen or more Republican newspapers,
constitute the reason for this enormous e1pend-
iture. The programme laid down by the Grant
Committee was to impress the public with tho
b5t1uHt1Uu AL N4lCA DuChA1tH3 a41A 44k1 Lll11I3
and Cnrtin wero held by their neighbors, by
causing Buckalew and Curtin to run far below,
and Ha tranft for above, the general average OF
their tickets at their respective homes. This
required an expenditure Of $4,000 in each Of
the three counties. In Luzerne, one Of
the strongholds Of the Democrats, much
larger sum WAS expended, and with effect, for
the Democratic majority was greatly reduced,
some Of Grants revenue officers are likely to bo
in condition that pardon from Hartranft will
be necessary to their promotion. In Lancaster,
greenbacks were lavished without stint, and.
Grants revenue officers in Lancaster City
was in the market to buy Democratic
judges at $500 a head, provided they reduced
The Buckalew vote 100 in their respective polling
had no occasion to buy Judges Of Election,
when an endless number OF Germans offered
to vote for Hartranft ut from 81 to 80 q head."
This fling at the Germans Is, doubtless, q malig-
nant device to obscure the fact that voters who
sold themselves we're Bourbon Democrats Of na-
tive production.
HOW SENATOR SPENCER. OF ALABAMA, PRO.
POSES TO SECURE A REELECTION.
WASHINGTON, .. c., Oct. 20.-Senator Spencer,
of Alabama, continues in trouble, he being
among that unfortunate class Of carpet-bng
Senators whose term expires on March 4th next.
Therefore he has sent On here delegation Of
duce :he Administration to send troops down to
that State for the purpose Of ensuring quiet
election, and prevent any such opposition ma
jorities as we're achieved in Georgia. It is not
pretended that there is any present necessity for
military aid, but only that troops may be needed
to bring out the full black vote in the
State in November next. Senator Spencer and
this retinue OF his do not believe with the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee that Alabama is
10 For Tnav That $11a Raprh..
ican party down there is split into more than
two fragments, and that the negro vote is not
by any means unanimous. 1t is believed here
that the delegation is but the forezunner Of the
powerful influences which will be brought to
bear on the President from all the Southern
States to induce Federal interference with the
November elections in the Southern States.
