other as Jew and Samaritan, hating
each other as the devil hates holy wa
ter, yet fraternizing like sucking |
doves in the high resolve "any-thing- |
to-beat-grant." Here will be the dis
appointed. Their name is legion. OF
these some want to get Grants place |
others wanted to get places from
Grant. They have sorrowed for years
without help. To them Cincinnatiis
q CLEAN of sunshine. A new resident
would advertise a national lottery
where every body might try his hand
for an Office.
Horace Greeley will be there. His
habit has been to oppose the noDna.
ton and afterwards support the regu-
lar nominee. He tried to defeat Lin
coin twice ia convention, but support.
ed him at the polls. He is excessive
" kind toward his enemies but cruel
as a CamAnche toward his friends.
He was willing that rebels might vote
themselves out Of the Union and car
~ away half of our sea coast and navi.
gable rivers as the prize of a secession
election he would overwhelm them
with generosity, and give faster than
they could steal and carry away.
Opposed to all compromises before
the war, he fercely denounced the
President because he would not send
Commissioners over TO Canada TO
treat with self constituted ENJOYS If
the Confederacy. He upbraids the
President in q letter published in
Canada for want OF sympathy with
our bleeding and decimated country
lie did great deal to keep alive the
hopes Of the Rebellion, and the "iD-
direct damages" chargeabe to him
would foot up equal to those done by
the Alabama. Nobody for the last
30 years has spoken to the masses of
our countrymen more Familiarity than
Horace Greeley. His tendencies and
inclinations are progressive, but he
lacks faith and pluck when storms
come that try mems souls. lie is
weak in some parts and seams can be
discovered running all through him.
He is vain enough to think he would
become we'll the Presidential chair.
He is willing to throw overheard his
Protection matrailleuse, and leave
American industry to the winds and
waves of popular elections. Still it
is Mr.. GreeIey's habit and privilege
to act the fool at stated periods, and
then he RECEIVERS himself again. 1t
helps this Nebuchadnezzar of the
press to run at large with beasts of
the field and eat grass for a while he
comes back quite quiet and manage
able till some other freak carries him
away.
1t is doubtful whether Charles
Sumner will appear at Cincinnati.
He has done great service to the
cause of freedom and the Republican
party. Long continuance in Office
has made him dogmatic and overbea
ing. His fellow Senators dismissed
him from the chairmanship II his
favorite committee, and since that
time he has been as sullen as the
ghost Of Ajax. He understands the
hollowness and insincerity OF the
Cincinnati bummers but he hates
Grant, and stands like the famous
animal between two stacks, one of
dog fennel and the other of nettles
and brambles. We believe he will
let the dog fenneI stack be.
And that very peculiar man, Gov
ernor Palmer, is down on Grant and
Sheridan, after thanking them both
most heartily for their timely aid in
saving what was left Of Chicago from
the Eruption of thieves, burglars and
Rsssssins that hurried to the smoking
ruins from every part of the world.
The chagrined governor contends il
was his fire, and the general govern
ment has no right to NEEDLE with it.
The governor ought to pour out his
Walls of wrath upon the Chcagoans
because they did not look to him for
salvation. He has drawn up a reso.
luton for the Cinninnati Convention
to this effect; "ReSolped, That when
Chicago or any other wicked city is
set on fire By the act of God, that il
is tho duty OF such city to piously en-.
dure the burning, and the duty of the
United States authorities to lot il
burn, until the governor of the state
orders out the militia to put out the
fire." The resolution will pass.
But Carl Schurz is fleor MANAGER

politicians and neglected stagers will
shake their dry bones to the music of

Carl Schurz is the embodiment of
discomfort; he is satisfied with Meth

Europe nor America, Prussia or Wis

down and destroy. Beecher says he

can not knead.
