Nor GRANT OR GREELEY.-0ur demo
cratic cotepporaries, who are trying tc
make The democracy believe that IL is
"Grant or Greeley" arc acting in the face
of facts and figures. This is not the ques
ton. The democracy are fully competent
to elect their own man. The idea of demo
cratic weakness was started for the bene-
fit of the dissatisfied republicans, who want
10 take the places Of Grant and his set. In
1868, the democratic vote was 2,703, 600,
and Virginia, Mississippi and Texas were
not allowed 10 vote. II is nonsense to sup
pose they arc not stronger now with all
the misdoings of the ra iicals aud the
strong manifestations of condemnation.
Now, Wien victory is within our grasp.
the weak hearted are ready to give up.

tie seems little lengthy and some.
what unwieldy, but it is very sug-
gestivc, and, We think, appropriate.
Tho proprietor is postmaster un-
der Grant at Harrisburg; he has
amassod fortune by furnishing sta
tionery to the State at exorbitant
prices, and doing printing for it at
enormous profit: ho is in the ring
which made Bob Mackey State
Treasurer he is one of the gang
that gagged the Republican State
Convention and nominated Hart
rauft, Allen and Mercur; he is in
favor of renominating and ro-eloct-
ing Grant, that he may keep tho
post-oflice which he took from n
brave soldier; he wants Hartrauft
elected that he may continue to rob
the State, and he wants Allen to
audit his accounts. That is tho
line which tho proprietor of the
Telegraph intends to fight it ont
upon, and his campaign paper will

as all on of all parties whose opinions

SUSPENSION OF WORK ON THE ST, p d. p
RAILROAD

Since the announced suspension of work
on the ST. Paul aud Pacific railroad, vari-
Gus sensational run.rs have been aflnat as
to the failure of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company. In these rumors we take
no stock whatever. A Company backed by
such an immense grant of land and assisted
by the practically unlimited capital and
credit mustered in its service, cannot fail
unless in some great financial convulsion in
which every interest of the country goes
down. Our readers may as well set it
down for fixed fact first as last, that spite
of all suspensions, delays, difficulties, mis-
apprehensions and rumors, the Northern
Pacific will be completed on time; the st.
Paul and Pacific will not fill to be built as
contemplated; and the Wisconsin CentraI
will touch the Lake in 1873, and reach this
point in 1874 So much capital is already
invested, and these enterprises already so
tar advanced, that there is in these matters
no such word aS fail
