OH THEY LOVE HIM NOW.

3ln OF June, Is prOuiulSatu- ihc CiA
contains a stump speech in its belly,
sounding very much lide one OF o. p
Morton's: but the most remarkable and
significant thing about it is the fact thai
the name of Horace Greely, the mem-
ber of the central committee for New
York, does not appear among the sig
natures. Mr.. Greely is accordingly
..read out of the patty without eere-
mony by the GRANTEES. In the words
of a Grant parasite, 'ihe bolts the nom-
inees of the convention five months be-
fore its meeting. ."-Fdrmer.
Indeed, Horace, the ''dirty, black
abolitionist'' of ten or fifteen years
ago, has got to be pretty good sort
of chap. Now, he would make a
pretty good compromise candidate
for the Democracy and the few dis
affected sneaks that acted with the
Republican party as long as they
had the biggest end of government
patronage. Why, it even so hap
pens that our neighbor kind likes
him a little. Greeley bailed jeff.
Davis. Yes, all right, but if Gree
ley did not sign the call for Ma
tianal Republican Convention, that
does not say he will not support the
nominee. You know Greeley don't
particularly care, yet he would ac-
cept the nomination if rendered
him. But, gentlemen, you who are
Democratically inclined, and all
those who are a little sore on one
side of the head, recollect that Gree
ley says this:
"We do not say that we will not sup
port Grant if nominated, but by his
nomination We make certainty uncer-
tain, where if another man were nOmi-
mated who would be pledged to the one
term system victory would be sure"
That is the sum and substance of
what Greeley has to say. We have
no fears of Greeley boiling the tick
ct il Grant is re-nominated, which
he will be by acclamation, unless he
himself is nominated by the Demo
cratic or some other ''new departure"
organization. 1t is indeed amusing
to see in looking over the Demo
cratic papers, how they love every
item that comes from the Tribune
that is unfavorable to Grant. The
fact of ths whole matter is this, the
Democratic party sees and knows
that its final death is fast approach
ing, and knows very well that their
only hope to have life prolonged is
in getting up a division among the
Republicans. But the great diff
Guilty with which they must contend
is the great, honest, straight for
ward business head of our Govern
ment, President GRANT. And they
might just as well all come to ''little
Holmes" and butt their brains out,
(if they have any, against some of
our little mountains of coal and iron
ore, as to try to make the thinking
people believe that to change the
head of our Government would bet
ter our condition. The record of
the Democratic party, both local,
State and National, is too well
known to be trusted with any great
responsibility, while the Republican
party, since it first came into power,
has made record in the couutry's s
history that will shine as bright as
the sun in the heavens at noon day,
except when johnson betrayed us,
who has received his doom for his
treachery.
The Republican party to-day is
as powerful as ever, ana wnlle q lew
! dishonest men have held office, they
were, soon as found, dismissed. Ii
the Republican party covered up its
frauds, DC, within its ranks, as has
been the custom in the Democratic
party, it would stand before the
world without blemish, but like
every true party should be, it ex-
poses corruption whether in or out
Of the party; and, more than this,
nearly all the corruption and fraud
that has been found out since
Grant has been President, was COM
mitted by men who was appointed
to office before Grant took his place
in the White House.
