from Hon. ID. W. Voorhees,:
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May IL.
DEAR CAPTAIN Your favor il at
hand. The idea that would under any
circumstance support Grant seems too
ridiculous for serious contradiction. The
statements 10 that effect arc maliciously
and absnrdiy false. The reason why /
will not support Greeley is that he is no
better than Grant in any respect, and on
some points he is worse. This was nv
meaning when speaking in the House.
No honest and intelligent Democrat
can support either Grant or Greeley
without first abandoning his principles.

short illness, on last Thursday

popular young man, as was at

politics and an active worker
for his party. He was bnried,

were given by the leading
Democratic editor of the
United States, who is intimate
ly acquainted with, and . per-
sonal friend Of Horace Greeley.
Now, let us see what this
same paper says of General
Grant. In April, 1851, in re-
viewing Grants administration,
which it pronounced success,
especially in its economical
management, its honest col
lection Of the internal reve-
nue., and payment of the pub
lie debt, 1t said:
"General Grants history,
should teach US to discriminate
better than we Am ericans are
apt to do between glitter and
solid work. Our proneness to
run after demagogues and
spOuters may find wholesome
corrective in the study of such
a character as his. The quail
lties by which great things are
accomplished are here seen to
have no necessary connection
With snowy and superficial ac-
complishments. When the
mass OF men look upon such a
charac er,they maylearn a true
respect for the mselves and
each other; they are taught by
it that high qualities and great
abilities are consistent with
the simplicity of taste, con
tempt for parade and plainness
Of manners with which direct
and earnest men have strong
natural sympathy. Ulysses
Grant, the tanner, Ulysses
Grant, the unsuccessful appli-
cant for the post Of City Sur
veyor of st. Louis. Ulysses
Grant, the driver into that city
Of his two-horse team with IA
load of wood TO sell, had with
in him every manly quality
which will cause the name OF
Lieutenant General Grant to
live forever in history"
We believe these opinions to
have been honestly given by a
we'll informed man, who, be it
remembered, is a Democrat
The two men are now candi
dates for the Office OF President
From the evidence of your
own leaders Grant is the bet
ter man of the two.

the township line, a distance
of about one and one quarter

Ing Democratic Paper I'm the
Country.
We want Democrats to vote
for Grant, not only because
Greeleyism is a political swim
die, and an honest Democrat
ought to be the last man in the
world to endorse it, but Gen.
Grant is by great odds the best
man OF the two for the position.
We don't ask you to take our
word for it, but we present it
upon the authority of the lead
ing Democratic paper of the
United States, given when
neither were the candidates OF
the great parties Of the coun-
try, when it might fairly be
presumed an unbiased opinion
would be given. In the New
York World of June 18th, Oi
this year, after Mr.. Greeley
was nominated at Oincin-
natl, IN discussing his qualifi
cations, 1t says:
"Mr. Greeley has no person.
al fitness for the office 1t is
an executive and administra-
tive Office; and we suppose
that there is no person ac-
quainted with Mr.. Greeley who
believes that he possesses exec
utlve or administrative capaci-
ty. He can not even manage
his small side-hlll farm at
Chappaqua on business princi-
Piles. In the tribune he mere
ly wrote articles and gave ad-
vice; the executive manage
ment has always been in other
hands. Mr.. Greeley is unable
to take care of his owl prop
erty; much less of the com
plex and multiI'arious affairs of
the federal government
SO earnest was the Word,
in convictions on this score,
thar on the 9Th OF June, in all
article entitled "And Satan
Came Also Among Them" it
denounced the appearance oI
Greeley among those of a
! democratic way Of thinking. as
san audacious piece of effron'
terry" which could only be par
alleled by 1.-THE inpudence
Satan" when he thrust himself
among the companions OF Job
sand Greeley came ais
among them; Greeley, the Ac
cuser; Greeley, the Adversary
Greeley, the Satan OI the Dem
ocratic Party"
Again it says, Gle has new
er been nominated by his owl
party except on a fOrlorn hope
save in the one instance OF hr
election lG lie State Conslitu
tional Convention in 1867 BII
I'D that convention Mr.. Greeley
did not rank as a first rate, buI
only as second-rate or third
rate man. There were at least
twenty members of the Con
stltulional Convention whose
capacity and influence we're su
perior to those of Mr.. Greeley
And again,
The fact that Mr.. GreeIey''
own party has always lhough
HIM unfit tor the responsible
ties of public office, is prett,
conclusive evidence against
him. The truth is that he i,
wayward, crotchety, opinionat
ed; rhHt he lacks sound judg
ment and me ltal balance; anf
that the party which he has
most f.iihtully served, and al
whose prepossessiOns have
been twenty years in his favor
has never nominated or elected
him to any important office
Not only have party conven
tions refused to elect him, but
Republican administration
have steadily declined to ap'
point him to office. lis there
fore clear enough that his owr
former party associates have
