The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1872-05-09

Liberal Republican buster has been
sham, and that it has been gotten up by
disappointed ofhce-seekers who simply
want place.
1he Star IN the East begins to show
It's light in the favor of Grant The
Bangor Wig says: The voice Of the
people is unmistakably for President
Grant. and whoever blocks the way when
the Republican party of the country shall
choose to move forward under his lead
will be swept from the political highway
| as chaff before the gale"
AT the Cincinnati Convention Schurz
retired from his chair and harrangued
the Missouri delegation in a very excited
manner, to counteract the speech of
Brown. He said Greeley was utterly
impracticable. The Germans would
never accept his Temperance rnnA-1 -
could not Garry tue central States. Tho
awarm and intimate friend of Greeley
he knew him to have all those personal
idiosyncracies which would render his
selection to the Presidency ludicrous and
absurd. He besought them to vote for
statesman, for Greeley could never be
elected and never ought to be. After
returning to the hall. Missourian an
nounced in an excited voice that Missouri
was ,,sold, but not Delivered.
The Baltimore american has yet to
hear the first person named in connection
with the Liberal movement in Maryland
who has voted with the party for three
years, and who has not an lex" to his
name.
The Columbia Union says that not
solitary member Of the South Carolina
delegation to Philadelphia could have
secured half-dozen votes in the State
Convention had he manifested the slight
est opposition to the nomination Of Pres
iGent Grant. 1t adds that the Republi-
can party of the State is to-day a unit in
his favor.
1t is noticeable fact that many Of the
persons prominent in the Liberal move
ment have rejected the whole affair, and
newspapers recently advocating the Gin
cinnati Convention now declare it's re-
suits failure. Jul lge Hoadly, one of
the committee on resolutions, Stanley
Matthews, the temporary Chairman of
the convention, and others, became dis
gusted and left the convention Gen.
Brinkerhof declared himself unwilling to
abide by the action of the convention,
and that he would not vote Greeley and
Judge Stallo, who presided over the Re-
union and Reformers, unceremoniously
adjourned that body, declaring they
could not support Greeley aud Brown.
The position Of some of the little local
Democratic journals at the nsesent mo-
ment is truly pitiable. They don't know
what to say. The party may nominate
a straight ticket in which case they must
blow the same old political horn. 1t may
ratify the nomination of Greeley and
Brown as a choice between two evils.
In that case it will besnecessary to hang
the Democratic harp on the willows.
Very ltlle jubilant music will be demand
ed on the journey to Purgatory as the
only escape from the Inferno.
A NEW Revenue Reform party with
a protective tariff nominee for the top,
a free-tradc nomineel for the bottom,
and a reference of all questions of taxa
ton to the seperatc Congressional dis
tritcs to. the middle, is not very prom
ising political institution. A Revenue
Reform that lodges all revenue question,
looks like p hyopcritecial fiction to satisfy
the political conscience Of selfish bolters.
