REASONS FOR VO.ING FOR GCEELET.

/. Because we want a change OF Admm-
istration, and we see no other way to get it.
g Because he received the unanimous
nomination of the regular. well qualified
representatives of the Democratic party.
3. Because he is more intelligent, and
quite as honest as Grant On the score of
honesty the Radicals cannot justly claim any
superiority for their candidate.
4. Because he has some heart, and feels
for the sufferings of his felowmen; whereas
Grant is a selfish, cold -booded man, without
such heart.
5. Because Greeley has pledged himself
to a course of action in harmony with the
principles Of the Democratic party, and in
no other way than by his election can the
people hope to see them once more in the
ascendant
6. Because Grant and the party who
handle hm--or whom ne handles, it makes
little difference which-have shown nnmis-
takaby that they do not intend to allow our
Southern brethren to be free men, or the
Southern States to have any real sovereignty
or any rights such as States should possess.
7. Because Grant and his men, forming
the Grant Government. have exhibited be-
fore the whole world the meanest spirit ever
shown by a great Government. They can
not disgrace the American people, but they
have disgraced themselves and lowered our
peoples government in the estimation of fair
men among all nations.
8. Because Grant and his tools, as un-
scrupulous as himself, have sent hordes of
Radical thieves into the homes Of our South
ern brothers, and robbed thsm of their pit
tance left by the war;, and involved them in
vast debts, in the most baietaced and out
rageous manner.
9. Because Grant and his men have no
respect fer the people, North or South; car
ing only for what they can make off them,
whereas Greeley is himself one of the work
ing men, alive 10 the feelings, and both
kind and considerate.
10. Because the best men among the
Radical leaders, who knoW Grant, have pro-
nounced him unfit to be the ruler of free
people.
II. Because he makes self and his own
personal greed and qualification primary, and
the affairs Of the Government a mere play
thing and entirely secondary.
-. Because he appoints men to public
offices who are unfit and dishonest, knowing
them to be so, and retains them, 10 the Sc
rious injury of the peoples pockets.
49, Because Grants "poItics have been
simply ridiculous. lie came into the Office
with the public declaration that he had emo
policy" whereas his whole action from be-
ginning to end has been but succession of
Grant policies.
IA. Because his San Domingo policy is
not dead but sleeping; and in case Of his
recollection it will be put through by his tools
as surely as the sun shines, and it is nolo-
rious that 1t is wicked scheme-nothing
more than corrupt and most dangerous
Grant job.
Is. Because Greeley, nominated as he
has been, and supported as he will be, by
the well disposed men OF the United States,
will naturally rally around the best men, and
secure an honest administration Of the Gov
ernmcnt.
16. Because we can stand an honest ad-
ministraiion of the Government.
1G Because, although Greeley as an ed
itor has through long political life opposed
many of the principles Of the Democratic
party, our nominating convention has salts.
lied Itself that he is now ready to harinonize
with them upon the great measures vital to
our countrys prosperity, and the existence
Of free Government,
18. Because we have, ever since the war;
condemned the policy inaugurated by the
dominant Radical party as inimical to the
ttl
Grant not only supports it but aggravates it
by his military tyranny over them.
10. Because Greeley condemns this ty-
rannical and wicked course, and stands
ready to discard it from our Government as
Il disgrace to civilization.
90 Because there is nothing whatever,
no policy and no act of our Government
more important more fraugllt win high con-
sequences in the immediate and distant flu
,ure than the real fraternizaion of the North
and the South.
81 Because such fraternization under the
the rule of Grant and his men is an impossi-
bi!ity; while under the action of Democratic
principles it will be certainty, speedily re-
allied.

while Gra.t is VIGOROUSLY, as well as child
isllv, stubborn and mulish,
23. Because. if these or any of these rea-
sons are to be regarded as praise of our old
political enemy, we can afford to 20 let il
stand when brought to the square choice be-
tween Greeley and Grant. Look on thi:
picture, and on this"
"a. Because our course as a Democratic
organ has been and is consistent. We IA
vored the nomination Of straight ticket
