There are no doubt Liberals and Democrats
enough in the United States 20 elect Mr. Greeley
President in November. Whether they will do It
or not il another question, the answer To which
depends almost as much upon the manner IN
which they conduct the campaign as uPon their
numerical strength. Ii is certain that the Libe-
rails and Conservatives for instance nave large
majority in North Carolina; but their opponents
there were admirably organized, and brought
they could not secure . genuine victory they at
least saved themselves ffom rouf. Elsewhere the
preparations Of the Administration party have
been equally thorough, and they have the great
advantage of controlling all the patronage and
other influence Of the government. On our side
too muck trust has been placed upon the "Popu-
lar UPRISING and enthusiasm" for Greeley, and
tho generous impulse" for peace and fraternity,
and "revOlt" against rings and corruption; and
our friends seem to imagine that they can sit still
aud let the Liberal movement sweep the coun-
try. They must understand that the administra-
tion is not going to lie changed by An earthquake.
They must work for success. 1t Is in politics as
il is in war; the battle is not always TO the big
gest army, but rather to the best drilled. Our
| campaign is to be short and sharp. and We are
likely to lie beaten unless We do more than we
are doing now to get urmen into the field and Sc
cure recruits from among the waverng and dissatis-
fled. We say, then to the friends Of the Liberal
cause:
l. Don't raste all yoxr strength pdrades. BAN
ners, bon6rcs, cannon and tOrchlight professions
are very well in their way, but they don't make
voters. They only amuse the men who would
vote for your candidate anyhow
2. Don't rely too MHch sp0R public meetings. They
are one-sidcd affairs, which neither develop your
own strength nor influence the followers of the
opposite party.
5. Doa't rely too much xpos circulars. Very few
voters read them. They are used for kindling
and shaving paper. Besides, the Grant party has
abused the syafem tn such an extent that a man

The Tribune's Wall.

Elsewhere copy from the New York Tribune
an article that has very dolefhl sound in which
Mr.. Greeley-whO is, no doubt, the author of it
tells his friends how to conduct the campaign in
his behalf. As we have read the Tribune in ITS
better days, aud learned from Mr.. Greeley the
character of the men to whom lie nOws looks for
support, we think the following Suggestions
would be much more appropriate than those con-
tained in the Tribune article.
l. Don't drink too much just ROr. 1t is
very well known that all Democrats love rum
above everything else, but the hot weather CO.
operating with the delirium tremens may reduce
the vote, unless precautions of sObrety be taken
at once.
2. Don't kill arg Riggers. The Democratic par
ty hates niggers, but the present is bad time to
kill them. Postpone your intentions for the pres
ent, for the good Of the cause. There will be
plenty Of time to kill niggers and plenty of nIg-
gers to kill after we have our glorious tri-
umph in November.
3. Close your raf-pits for the present. You can
not give the necessary attention to politics If you
devote great part Of your time to killing rats.
1t is a very healtlful and inspiring exercise but
just at present it would be profitable to you
and to me to kill off the Grant party. By the
exercise of little self-denial you will he able to
close the rat-pts, and devote your entire ener-
gies to the success Of the ticket.
4. DO not commit unnecessary bMrglaries, murders
robberies. Although the laws are not very
stringently administered, there is danger of an
occasional conviction, and a consequent impair
ment of yOnr strength in November 1t would be
well to appoint restraining committees in all the
wards Of New York city, whose duty it shall he
to protect yOu against temptations.
5. Do NOT burn any orphan asyfsms or school
houses. There is n prejudice in the country
against arson, which We cannot hope to extirpate
before November, and it wOuld be unwise to eX-
cite it at the present time. There will be abun-
dant opportunity to burn every orphan asylum
in the country after the election Of Greeley and
Brown.

A CoNFICT.-We this week publish q call
signed by four of the members of the Republican
Committee of the First District, announcing that
the Delegates of THAI District to the County Con
vention will nominate a candidate for Represent
ative on the same day, at Troy. John H. UT al
so publishes call for Convention for that pur-
pose at Highland by order of the Republican
District Committee. The question arises, wheth,
er four members of the Committee, over their
own signatures, express the desire of the Com
mttee, or whether John II. UT does! Here is a
trap sprung for mischief.

Grants Druuks.

Several Of Our contemporaries affect unusual
wrath at the Democratic comments the boozi-
ness of b. Gratz, and have gone to work with a
Jealous determination to make out worse case
of inebriation against Grant than we have been
able to make out against Brown. 1t appears that
the Republican candidate has been for many
years victim of intemperance. He was drunk
at Fort DonelsOn, or he would not have made an
insOlent demand upon Buckner for an uncOnd-
tiOnal surrender Of that fortress. He drunk
at Shiloh, or he would have known that his
army was whipped that memorable Sunday
evening, and would have quietly retired into the
Tennessee River, instead of renewing the battle
next day. He drunk at vicksburg; for no
sober man wOnld have dreamed Of running the
batteries, as he did and taking such desperate
chances. He was drunk when he started Sher-
man on q FOOLS errand to the sea. in violation Of
all the known rules and arts of war. He was
drunk when he drove Lee behind his breastworks
at Richmond; and he wound up the war, in fit
of delirum tremens, under that historic apple
tree at Appomattox. This ended his military dis
sipation, we believe; but there were still in
serve for him seeeral important civic sprees
The first of these was, when he wouldn't let An
dy Johnson get possession Of the War Office for
the patriotic purpose of suppressing Congress-
He must have taken at least five fingers Of
Cognae before he made his inaugural speech, in
sisting the preservation Of the national credit,
and the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment.
Whenever, since inauguration the ku-klux, un-
ueR tne auSice oi + rahK ana the Democratc party,
have undertaken To make war npon the loyal men
of the South, General Grant has always put him
selfintO a beastly state of intoxication and sup
pressed them. When Carl Schurz has wrongly
accused him of corruption of incompetency, he
has invariably drank himself into u condition to
prove that Carl was a liar. And on the first
Tuesday of November next he will not only be
drunken himself, but he will have made the peO-
pie of this country drunk enough to re-elect him
President of the United States by Of the lar
gest votes ever given to a candidate in this
try.-.Sf Louis Democrat.

The Contest i'm Kansas.

We say "coutestu-althOught that Is not hitting
,,ora Car tb.r. is no contest-more properly, the
ooun,;or in Kansas is too one-sded to make it
interesting. Notwithstanding the brag and bus-
ter of the Greeley party, their cause Is simply
homeless In two or three Counties, and only
that many, they will reduce the Republican ma
iority slightly. In the balance of the Counties,
the Republican majorities will be larger than u.s.
ual Democrats, by the hundreds are signifyinS
their determination to vote for Grant. In most
of the Counties, these men far Outnumber the Re
pubcans who will vote for Greeley. The only
difference is the Republicans who intend to vote
for Greeley, feel it to be their duty to make all
the noise possible; while the Democrats who
have made up their minds to vote for Grant, are
pursuing their way quietly, but will make them
selves felt no less surely at the ballot-box.
The Liberals are making the burden Of the fight
mainly upon the Governorship, with the help of
two or three disappointed and malicious Republi-
cans. Notwithstanding all their boasting, it is
very evident that they have no hope of carrying
Kansas for their ticket, but think there may be
chance to elect their Governor, ny means Of the
concentrated aud bitter fight upon that Office.
In this they wasting their time. The animus
of the assaults upon Osborn is too evident to he
mistaken, and is only Strengthening him. So far
from defeating him, their warfare promises to run
him ahead of the ticket. If the Liberals expect
to run Walker ahead of his ticket on the ground
of his extraordinary gentility and honesty, they
will he wofully disappointed. The returns will
show that he stands about the same footing as
any other Democratic-L Liberal -Sorehead-and all
of them will be miserably beaten.
In short, Kansas will elect an almost unani-
nous Republican Legislature, Republican Pres
idential Electors, Republican congressman, and
the entire Republican State ticket-and she will
not merely elect them, but will do it by an over
whelming, crushing majority. Any person who
claims to the contrary, is either wild or insin-
cere

THE TANMANY CANDIDATE.-lf there were no
other good reason why Horace Greeley ought not
to he elected President, his Tammany affiliations
alone should be against him. The Philadelphia
North Anercaa gives this brief history of the mat
ter:
In the course of the Tammany conflict il was
shown that Horace Greeley, although lifelong
newspaper writer and public lecturer against the
use Of tobacco, was partner of Tweed in a tobac-
co manufacturing company. Other swkward
disclosures were made, but this will suffice as
specimen Those who are fond Of applying to
Mr.. Greeley the epthet honest should reflect
upon this matter. When the new charter for
New York city was pending in the Legislature
some years ago, the Tammsny ring having the
control ct both Houses, the Union League Club
of New York, well aware of Greeley's connection
with the Ring, induced him to go to Albany and
ask certain notifications of the bill. Greeley
Went, assented to the bill it Stood sold out the
League, and patched mp private bargain on his
own account for 4 nomination flor Greeley.

Editors Louisville Commercial:
A short time after the battle of Missionary
Ridge, as the writer Of this happened to be on
the road leading through Lookout Valley, from
Chattanooga to Bridgeport, Ala, he saw a Col
onei mounted on prancing charger, followed at
a respectable distance by staff officers and innu-
merable Orderiies, the Colonel and his staff
pinned and bedecked with all the paraphernalia
incident to the "pomp and circumstance' of
war. General was camped ON the side of the
road. His staff officers, as well as himself were
covered with gold lace, fancy tassels hanging
from boot tops, &c. Asking a staff officer near
by whose headquarters, he answered in a whis-
per that it was Gen. Carl Schurz's. As we pro
ceeded, our minds filed with awe at the display
made by the parties mentioned, we passed by a
small man (mOunted), with plain hat ordinary
military great-coat. with cape, and unattended
by any one. Glancing at him, we were forcibly
struck by his thoughtful appearance. After he
had passed, our friend remarked: "There goes
your boss" "What boss Z" we inquired. "Why,
Gen. Grant, Of course We could not believe
that the plain. modest, unassuming man who
had Just passed Us was the Commander-in- Chief

who depends on his acts and deeds alone to speak

Col. s. A. CoBB.-The Lawrence Journal gives
the following sketch of Col. S. A. Cobb, one of
the Republican candidates for Congress from this
State:
"This gentleman, who was yesterday nonina-
ted as the third candidate on the Republican
ticket, is not unknown to the people of State.
He came here in 1859. served in the army during
the war, first in the Indian regiment q cap
tain under Col. Phillips, and afterwards was ap-
pointed to the subsistence department, and
served as lieutenant-c colonel and chief c. s. of the
Thirteen army corps, on the staff of Gen. Gran
ger. He was a member Of the Kansas House of
Representatives in 1862, elected to the Senate in
1868, and elected to the House again last fall, and
made Speaker of that body.
"COl. Cobb is 80 years of age, was born in the
State of Maine and came I. Kansas from Wis
consin. He is graduate Of Brown University,
class Of SO, is fuent and forcible speaker, has
good deal of experience in public life, and, we
ventureto predict, will make his mark in Con-
gress.

q Col. Thos. Moonlight has returned from a
visit to Scotland, and is talked of as Republican
candidate for the Legislature, in Leavenworth
County. We, together with other Republican
papers, owe the gallant Colonel an apology, for
condemning him, two years ago, for going to
Leavenworth to beat that dirty beast, d. R. An
thony, for Mayor. Time has proven that the
Colonel had greater foresight than the most of us;
and he did good work in aiding to prevent the
imposition of the infamous wretch upon the peo-
ple of Leayenworth.

James F. Wilson, of Iowa, for two terms q
Representative in Congress from that State, and
recognized as one of the ablest men i'm the North
west, has recently been paying his respects to
the s0-callcd Liberals. In an address delivered
in Fairfield he said of them:
"Can an earnest, conscientious Republican feel
at home in the Greeley camp! donbt it. 1t is
no place for such men. They have reasonable
excuse for being there. They cannot feel COM
Portable with such surroundings as attend them.
To feel at home there requires. first, surrender
of the Republican principles and an abandon
ment of the party faith There is such thing
as q Greeley Republican. The man that calls
himself such has grown weary in well doing and
has stopped short i'm his work before it is done.
Men may try to reason themselves into the belief
that it is not true, but it won't do. The fact is
50 patent to every candid mind that the strength
of the Greeley party is supported by the uncon-
cples and its deeds. Men who have rejected
every Republican idea, and have opposed every
Republican reform measure and policy, are those
who will cast ninety-nine hundredths of the
votes that will be pOlled for Greeley in November.
They opposed the Republican party because Of
its prncciples-they hated it because of its
FORMS They are to-day as they have ever been.
They dominate in the Greeley party now, and
will dictate its policy ifit should succeed in No
vember. 1t is nonsense for any well Informed
man to talk about holding to his Republican faith,
and feel at home in such an organization. Can
man hold to his Republican faith and cooperate
And does not every well informed man know
that the reactionary elements constitute the
numerical strength Of the Greeley partyf Let no
one lie deceived. There is purpose Ia undo the
the great work of the Republican party. The
proof Of it's existence is abundant
