A Question in Proportion.


The Greeley Democracy see the hand
writing on the wall. They figured gain
FOR themselves of ten per cent. in North
Carolina, and claimed that the same ratio
in Vermont and Maine would sink Grant
out Of Sight. They have heard from
both States majorities for
Grants policy, and after considerable
figuring have arrived at the conclusion
that they have gained in those States just
two per cent over 1868. 1t makes them
happy 4! Keep it up, they say, and we
have Grant defeated Question If ten

Greeley in the Saddle.

Greeley is in dispair ! Like Napoleon
at Waterloo, he has determined to lead
the old guard in the last attempt to break
the invincible Republican squares. True
he has no such followers as threw them
selves against Wellington's bayonets, but
that makes no difference he believes his
own weight equal to that of an army. His
desperate efforts in Vermont and Maine
have got his blood up, and he will proba
bly, throw himself away in his western
tour. We hope not his vast talents as a
s'farmist" ought not to be lost to the ma
ton. We beg Horace for the sake of our
unplous he'd praires to do nothing rash.

Nebraska 5000 Majority
District of Columbia 5000

The returns thus far show a Republi-
can majority in the above elections, even
more than we dared to expect. The Dem
ocrats and Liberals have met their defea t,
and they are virtually beaten. This is
glory enough for one day, and we feel per
fectly satisfied with this grand result.
This, of course, decides the elections be-
yond doubt. The Liberal and Demo
cratic newspapers all agree that theirs is
lost cause. We feel like singing
"We'll rally around the flag, boys,
Well rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom"

Hard on the active Church

The Democrat of last Thursday, published
a communication. under tile caption of
THANKSGIVING DAY." signed "a Poor
Publican" which the editor says, was
written by IAN active church member"
The author of the article may be an active
church member, in pleasant weather,
when everything is prosperous with him /;
bot if he allows his angry passions TO
eise and give them expression often, his
example will NOT have very beneficial
effect upon his church. The writer writes
like one who had net on Greeley and lost
heavily, and had just seated himself on a
cold day, in cold rooi-u, by cold stove,
Just as miserable as man could be,
whose horses were all sick withe eplzoo-
,tic-his wood-pile reduced to the last
stick, and nothing left to be thankful
for. A.

Mr.. Greeley has been reported insane,
and sent to the White Plains Insane Asy
ium for treatment; but this is denied by
his friends. He is suffering from nervorn
prostration, occasioned by the death of
wife and the continued severe strain upon
his mental faculties during; the recent
political campaign. He wrote for his ma.
per two weeks after the election, but was
obliged to retire from busy life and seek
rest. His mind is probably affected, but
not so seriously as to prevent hope of his
speedy recovery
