Drag and Buster.

Mr.. EDITOR THE Constitution in its
last issue says:
"Windham. Portage county, has forty
Greeley Republicans, and one Democrat
alone is opposed to the ticket in that
town."
We took pains last week to inquire as
to the truth of this statement, and a
prominent man from Windham, who
had himself been claimed as a Greeley
Republican, said: "There was never a
bigger lie manufactured. There are
THREE (3) men who have generally vot-
ed with the Republicans who will proJa.
bly, go for Greeley, aud one other who
occasionally goes with US. Aside from
these four, there are none of the Repub-
licans who will not support Grant most
cordially. The reason they claimed me-
he added, twas because I said I should
vote for Mr.. G~reeley-to stay at home!
Like Summers first letter, they kept
back the most important part.''
This is a fair sample, Mr.. Editor, of
the brag and buster which the copper
heads and certain sham Republicans in
dulge in. They hope to influence weak
bodies to believe that every one is going
for Greeley. The truth is they are like
the boy who whistled when going past
the grave yard "to keep his courage up.'
Their stories are like that of the forty
black crows which a man swallowed;
when examined into it was found that
all he mad swallowed was something as
black as a eroW. When the truth is
known their reports collapse like a
punctured bladder.
Yours, for the truth, @

Senator Wilson a Friend Of the Needy.

Henry Wilson is a man of strict in
tegrity not only, but, what is rarely
found among politicians, every human
interest finds a warm place in his heart.
A soldiers widow, without a trade,
poor, and with no influential friend,
sought diligently but in vain for employ
ment. There had been hundreds of 9TH
er applicants wherever she applied. She
was almost in despair, when, having re-
turned n day from her still fruItless
pursuit, she was surprised to receive a
call from a gentleman, who came to say
that a place as copyist in one of the De-
partments awaited her.
Some one knowing her need and
worthiness had informed Senator Will
son OF her qualifications for such a posi-
ton. Without delay he obtained the
position for her and then called to in
form her of her appointment. She says,
"If any one on earth deserves the bless.
ing of Heaven, 1 beIieve Senator Wilson
is that one."
At the night session of March 80, 1871
when, if ever, the Senators were in their
chair, and wide awake, and the galleries
filed with interested spectators, Senator
s., of n. j., obtained the floor but was
too much intoxicated to utter a sentence
complete. Sill, realizing that this was
his last hour in Congress, he kept on
e%onfusedly trying TO take up his speech.
Attention he certainly gained, but only
to be sneered at and ridiculed by CALLER
les and Senate. He was continuing his
maudlin effort when one left his desk,
stepped quietly forward into the central,
and touching Senator S. upon the arm,
presently we saw the two leaving the
room, the weak supported by the strong
and We felt that the Senate Chamber, by
the kindness and address of Henry Will
son, had been relieved of a most dis.
graceful scene. NJ.

The Enect on Our NationnI Credit.

The overthrow of the Tammany
Ring in New York in 1871, was fol-
lowed by a marked improvement in
the value of our national SECURES.
From a leading financial journal of
November II, 1871, we clip the follow
ing:
market for Securities improved
under following influences: First,
the result of the New York election,
imparting, as it has, a healthy stimu-
lus throughout every department of
commercial and industrial activity.
Secondly, increased disposition of for
eign capital to invest itself here. Since
the election, the belief has been that
the dividends payable to foreign cred
itOrs will be reinvested during the
next two months to the extent of fifty
per cent. more than could otherwise
have been expected. The amount of
these dividends is estimated to be
S125, OO0, OO0."
Here we have cause and effect; the
cause, the defeat of the Democratic
party in a single State the effect, the
increase in the value of securities
throughout-the world. Does any rea-
sOnable man believe that the triumph
of the Democratic party would i'm
prove the value of our securities On
the contrary, a One intelligent man
be found who does not believe that
the defeat of the Republican party
would be followed by a general depre-
citation of our bonds in the money
markets of Europe and our own coun-
try? Our securities depend largely
on the success of the party that framed
the system on which they are found
ed. To elect men who are known to
be opposed to this system, to bring
into power a party that has fought for
the past twelve years against it, would
be an act of financial suicide.

An Editor who has the Courage to
Think for Himself.

Captain S. G. Mckee, editor of the
Alliance Telegraph, a strong Demo-
cratic sheet, has come out against the
election Of Horace Greeley, and says
he shall cast his vote for Gen. Grant.
In the Alliance Local, of last week,
he publishes a letter giving the rea-
sons for his course, in which, with
many other good things, he says:
= = GAS / have
for these long years been welded
and bound to the Democratic party
through principle, I feel that I have
nothing to bind me to that organiZa-
ton any longer, and shall cast my
vote for General Grant. In my cOn
nection with the army of the Cum
berland and the department of the
Mississippi, it was my good fortune
to be in and about the headquarters
of the General, and I always admired
him as a brave man, independent and
firm in the field and in the private
circle; while his kindness and effee-
ton for the soldier was unusual and
the observed of all observers" y
While this was true and General
Grant made no distinction as to the
political views and opinions of the SOL
diery, what was Mr.. Greeley saving
and doing for our party? He was
abusing US and calling US all the op-
probri0us names and epithets that a
willy and cunning brain and pen could
form and conceive. I for one do not
choose to cast my vote for the man
who did much to demoraliZe the party
to which 1 belonged, and who has la.
bored since 1886 to convince the world
that all Democrats were knaves, pal
troons, and horse thieves. AS 1 have
no party organization with which to
sever my connection, 1 feel that l
have no sacrifice to make, and L shall
vote for General Grant and the whole
Republican State and county tickets
this fall. Respectfully.
S. G. MCKEE.
Thousands of honest-minded, think
ing Democrats-meH o. principIe-are
taking the same step, men who are
not so blinded by prejudice as not to
be able to see that it is the doctrine "to
the victors belong the spoils," and not
principle, that binds together the De-
mocracy of to-day and sham Repub-
canism.

As Horace White, of the Chicago
Tribune, is now one of the principal
supporters of Mr.. Greeley for Presi-
dent, it may be interesting to recall
Mr.. Whites opinion of his friend, as
published in 1866:
"Horace Greeley is not now, and
never has been, a man who ought to
be trusted with an official position re-
quiriDg practical wisdom, ordinary
craftsmanship, or firm, consistent ac-
ton. For twenty-five years he has
been a marplot in council, an unre!i-
able commander in action, a misan-
thIope in victory, and a riOtOus disor-
ganiZer in defeat. He has always
been fanatical in his demands for the
EXTREMIST measures, and when the
party has reached the eve of triumph,
invariably thrusts himself forward as
q negotiatOr of terms of surrender to
the enemy. His course during the
war was but a repetition of his course
in politics. In 1861, he was an open
defender of secession he changed to
a vigorous champion of the war, and
thereafter was forever Tecklessly ma
king proposals for peace and as reck-
lessly withdrawing them making
war in spite of Mars, and negotiating
peace in spite of Minerva.
"For twenty years he has been an
uneompromising advocatefOr asquare
fight with the Pro-Slavery party, and
when that kind of a fight was forced
upon the Republicans, in 1860, he was
here in Chicago, voting not for Lin
coin, nor for Chase, but for old Ed
ward Bates, of Missouri, one of the
fossils of the slave party. He was
then the associate and co-labOrer of
that other impractible and uuruly
squad-the Blair family. The coun-
try at this time wants no inspired
h~arlequins in the national councils.
Still less does it want men with states
manship so microscopic that they can
see nothing in public business but the
mileage and per diem of their fellow
members, If Mr.. Greeley is not sat
isfied with his position as a journalist
"a position which ought to be equal
in point of influence, power and dig
nifty to that of six average Senators
and if the Republicans Of New York
want to do something for him, let
them make him State Prison Inspec-
tor or even Goveanor anything
that will not make the outside of the
State responsible for his fOllies-"
