daughter Of Samuel and Annie Resh, aged

They bore her away from my arms,
Away from mothers care,
Away 70 the cold, cold grave
They laid my little one there.
Ny darling baby Is sleeping
The Elmwood trees beneath: ..rr.
Ny baby IS sleeping now
The deep, deep sleep OF death.
The little white arms are folded
over the innocent breast.
The little white hands are cLasped
In sweet eternal rest.
From out Of her dear blue ewes
The light and beauty has lied.
o, leave me alone in my anguish.
o. leave me alone with my dead
The house is 50 lonely without her,
For sympathy now Is in vain,
For what can they know of my sorrow .

But she never more viii awaken,
My love she viii never more claim.
And never viii hear my darling
Murnur her mothers name.

in the past, adheres to the same policy,
and promises to continue to effect other
reforms of an administrative character.
1t promises to complete and perfect the
civil service reform already adopted, so
that honesty, efficiency and fidelity shall
be the only qualifications for Office. It
promises to abolish the franking privi-
lege. 1t promises to continue the reduc-
ton of taxes, and at the same time to
continue to reduce the public debt. It
promises, rs far as the national govern
ment can do so, to secure TO capital such
facilities, and to labor such reward, rs to
fairly divide the profits of production,
and to adjust the interests of these two
great servants of civilization. It ap-
proves the liberal amnesty already
granted to the rebels of the South, and
promises to make it universal as soon as
the public safety viii allow. There is

GREELEY's FITNESS
LACKED A BALANCE-wHEEL,

to keep him from inconsistencies. His
investments of money, his ventures with
Tweed and Lendina, his name to men
unworthy of trust, evinced unsoUnd
Judgment. The epithets and libels with
which he pursues those he hates or en-
vies, shows a strangely unchristian and
unbridled nature. Truthful history will
never record that Horace Greeley owed
the Republican party nothing, but the
verdict will be that he spoke like a
scheming migrate when he said: II am
perfectly willing to pass receipts with
the Republican party, and say our ac-
counts are now settled and closed. y.

Extracts from the Tribans, after the
! first election and prior TO the Inaugural
ton Of Lincoln, were read to show he
melted secession by expressing his
willingness to let the South gopeaeeably,
as were all extracts from the speeches of
General Blair in the Senate in 1871,
making the same charge. The "On to
Richmond" articles of the tribune were
also quoted as the incarnatiOn Of cGnceit
and folly, which drove the army Gead-
long to Bull Run. Before that battle,
said COnkliug, Greeley imputed

has cost the people of the United States
enough to build half a dozen Pacific
railroads. These sentiments, in a Dem
ocratic platform, read like the peniten-
tial sigh of dying suicide. If all these
glorious resolves are 50 good now, why
were they not made one, two or ten
years ago2 What merit is there in glO-
rifying over accomplished facts, unless
you contributed to their accomplish
ment? What virtue is there in mourn
ing opportunities lost? What reward
does the Democratic party deserve for
forcing these measures, all now on the
highway of accomplished success, when
they so bitterly opposed them at their
inception? 70
Mr.. Sherman spoke of the political
bearings of the present campaign. The

overagain because / haven't gone further
aud faster in all these questions, while
my Democratic neighbors considered me
an ultra Republican. The Senator then
entered into history Of Grants admin
istTation, aIIuding to the differences
with Sumner, Trumhull and Schurs, the
charges in regard to san Domingo, the
sale Of arms TO France, military rings,
etc, speaking in defense of the Presi-
dent. He closed with the following ap-
peal; To you, my Democratic friends,
l have no right 60 appeal, for we have
not acted together IN the past. New po-
sitions make new duties. If you approve
of the coalition that has been made,

Conkling, undeniably that, fiTst-Gree-
ley was gulled by a shallow swindle; /;

HIS Own PARTY.

III congress.
In regard to the Liberal aud Demo
cratic coalition, be said: All the evils
complained of came to us from the
Democratic party, and we have insti-
tUted great reforms in the civil service,
and viii adopt such others as experience
justifies. VIII it be better to bring a
fresh and hungry horde to effect reforms
in appointments to office? See how
eager they are now. How many viii
be Liberal Democrats when they fail in
their ambition? is 1t for a free tariff? !
know this is the hobby of some Of my
neighbors, and yet if Mr.. Greeley has
any conviction it is for a high protective
tariff. When he takes the oath of office
ne swears to veto any act Of Congress
that does not meet his approval. He
cannot approve a free trade tariff if he is
an honest man, and yet he contrjved
and penned by his own hand
THE PLANK OF THE PLATFORM
by which he agrees that in no event
will he perform the duty of President
on any bill that effects the taxes
imposed upon the people. Is this
honest? Again, our Democratic friends
talk about Capitalization and State
rights, that they have always claimed
to be the foundation stone of DemOera-
cy; and with proper qualifications it is
a good cornerstone. What becomes of
State rights? You have surrendered
those you had in dispute with the Re
publican party, and taken a man who
has gone further for extending the
power of the national government than
any living American, and as far as any
dead American except Alexander Ham
ilton. Is this honest? Talk no more
about kuklux, habeas corpus, education
laws, railroad laws, and. reconstruction
laws. & o

MANSFIELD, OHIO, July 23.-Hon.
John Sherman addressed Republican
meeting in this city this evening. He
briefly reviewed the Baltimore Platform,
claiming that by it and the nomination
of Greeley the Democratic party had
abandoned the position it had held for
the last twenty years, and had adopted
an essentially Republican platform, ae-
quieselng in and approaching all the
great changes and reforms adopted by
the Republican party. In regard to the
seventh plank, denOuncing reputation,
the Senator said: This is a voluntary
remuneration of all the resolves and
threats made by the Democratic leaders,
that in some form or under some de-
vice the plighted faith of the nation
would be violated. The shadow of re
pudiation which has clung to US like the
shirt of Nessus, from the example of
some of the States, has increased the rate
of interest on all our public securities
and accompanied by the open

and raising the issue of veraeity with
three witnesses, denied that he ever in
timated that he would give the treaty
his support. Among the glaring ab-
surdities heaped upon the San Domingo
matter is the allegation that war was
made upon the Republic of Hayti. The
foundation for this is that a vessel or two
cruised in that part of the ocean during
the Negotiations. Not a gun, pocket
pistol nor percussion-cap was fired, and
the only war-like demonstration ever
heard of was that at sea the captain sent
up a sky-rOeket from the deck. His
purpose with this sky-rOcket, or where
the stick came down, has never been as
certained.

from the Craftsmanship Of Foreign Re
lations Committee, and said it was not
removal at all. All of the Senate
committees die at the end of each ses-
sion. He was not deposed because OF
his opposition to the San Domingo
scheme. Sumner did not hold commu-
nication with the State Department, and
tine Senate was delayed for weeks for
lack of Information. Simple indeed,
but the only cure for all this
was to select another Chair
man. This was done and nothing
more, and it turned out that the trea-
ties, six or seven in number, having
long laid buried in the committee, after a
change of Chairman, were at once
brought up and ratified. The Senator
then took up

were present at this interview, and all
understood Sumner to say that he
would support it, that he could not think
Of doing otherwise than supporting the
administration in the matter, and, fur
ther, that there was no object to the
instrument, as a whole. Yet Sumner,
meanwhile, had taken Offense, because
his views and wishes in other matters
were not deferred to, and become in
censed at the President and Fish, and
denounced them, and, among other
things, the

and after his defeat he cOddled up to
Scott whom he had tried 70 dishOnoE
less than four weeks previously. Mr..
Greeley, early ~ Lincoln's administra-
ton, became his enemy; this Lincoln
knew, and he was ever on his guard.
This IS noticeable in the Niagara Falls
peace affair. Greeley had been for seces-
sion when secession might he avoided;
he had been for battle when the time
was not come. He had been in turn for
war and peace, when each was i'm
possible; and early in 1854, when the re-
bellion was about to collapse, and when
everything depended upon Keeping the
North erect with united and unb0unded
front, Greeley fell into

quently avowed-onee, pipingly, to the
President himself--that the refusal was
the cause of his opposition. Since Pres
ident Grant came in but nine persons in
all connected in the remotest degree
with him or with his wife have held po-
litical Office under the United States. OF
these nine relatives or connections in Of
flee, two were appointed by
i ANDREW JOHNSON,
viz: the Presidents father, Postmaster
at COYington, Kentucky, and his BROTH
er-in-law, Rev. Mr. CrameF, Consul at
Leipsic. Deducting Jesse II. Grant and
NJ. J. Cramer, appointed by Johnson,
seven instances OF relatives in political
Office remain, and of these, but two
were in truth and in fact appointed by
the President. Orlando II. Ross, cousin
of the President, holds the clerkship
under the Third Auditor of .he Treasury.
He was a soldier In the war, and General
Logan, as he stated in the Senate, pro-
cured his appointment at the Treasury
Department without the knowledge of
the President, who, in fact, never heard
of it until be read it in newspaper.

Ct. w. Dent, Appraiser at San Francis

Casey, Postmaster at Vieksburg, Missis-
sippi, q brother of a brother-in-Iaw Of
Mrs. Grant; q. j. Johnson, Assessor Of
the Third district of Ohio, who married
q third cousin of the President. Alex
ander Sharpe, a connection of Mrs.
Grant, was appointed Marshal Of the
District of Columbia, and Silas Hudson,
cousin Of the President, Minister to
Guatenaia. ks 10 the Presidents ap-I
pointments being partisan, the speaker
cited the cases of Adams, gappointea Ar

the success of the Washington treaty
negotiations. The finances was the next
subject taken up, which the speaker
showed TO be in a satisfactory condition.
Speaking of civil service reform, the
Senator said this was the best adminis-
tration of the civil service the country
had ever had. Delinqueuts and default
