That is the kind of a man the democrats
want for President is it? They do
not want him. There is not q good
sound democrat in the whole party to-
day but would, if he spoke as he felt, de-
nounce Greeley as one of the greatest
rascals on earth.
Now, I think myself that change in
the administration would be very desi-
rable, but we must remember there is
such a thing as out of the frying pan
into the, fire.
Horace Greeley has undoubtedly tax
en- the first step toward turning his
coat, and it is very plain, too, that he
has done it for Office. Now if there is
anything under heavens that a man
ought to despise, it is that. Had H. G.
stuck to his opinion of the democratic
party I should have thought more Of
him for President than [ do to-day,
though | never thought him capable Of
filling that positian. In my estimation
Grant has done the same thing. He
was always democrat always voted
that ticket until his election as Presi-
dent, then he of course was President Of
the people who elected him. | can't
vote for Grant so of course I shall not
vote at all. But as it will not make
any difference, | suppose it will not be
Of any consequence whether do or not.
