PLAIN FACTS.
From the New York World.

beat Grant a candidate must be opposed
to him who can poll the entire 9mocrat
ic vote and part ofthe Republican vote.
A candidate who fails in both these par
ticulars cannot beat Grant. Greeley fails
in both For example:
l. The white Republican, vote. 1t has
been demonstrated since the Cincinnati
nominations were made that Mr. Greeley
has been unable to draw any support from
the Republican ranks. Not enc promi
nent Republican who did not go into the
liberal movement before the meeting of
the Cincinnati Convention has pronounced
for Mr.. Greeley since. Not one Republi-
can newspaper which was not committed
to the Liberal movement before the con
vention has come out for Mr. Greeley
since. As far as he is concerned, all Re
pnblicans who were not Liberals before
the convention met still remain inaide the
regular Republican organization.
2 The negro vote. All the advices
from the South concur that Mr.. Greeley's
nomination has made no impression what
ever upon the negroes They are blindly
obedient to their leagues, which are con
trolled by Grants office holders The re-
cent negro conventions at New Orleans
and Troy declared emphatically for Graut
8. The Liberal Republican vote. This
is composed almost wholly If the Free
trade Republicans and the German Re.
publicans Both of these elements refuse
to support Mr. Grecley,and are preparing
to organize for the campaign against him
T. The Democratic vote. An important
proportion of the Democracy will not
vote for Mr. Greeley under any circum.
stances They may not compose MAORI
ty Of the party yet but if they compose
but 80 per cent or even 90, per cent, their
resistance is fatal to Mr.. Greeley, for the
entire Democratic vote is essential to his
success.
IT. therefore, he can command no Re
publican support, no negro support, no
Liberal Republican support, and only q
partial Democratic support he cannot beat
Grant.
Why, therefore, should lie remain in
the field? Why should he not withdraw,
so that some candidate can be nominated
who can combine the entire Democratic
vote and the vote of the Republicans dis
satisfied with Grant? Finally, whas uses
full service will be subserved if the Balti
more Convention Endorses q man who is
beaten from the start?
GREELEY's ALLIEs--A CLEAR SUMMARY OF
UNDIsPUTED FACTS.
from the New York Post
IF Mr.. Greeley never made, or nobody
ever made for him, corrupt bargain with
Tammany Democrats, lie is, nevertheless
the candidate of that party. If his n0mi
nation at Cincinnati was nota preconcert-
ed thing, it nevertheless was hailed with
delight by the worst rebel element that
had gathered there from the South, and
which VIII accept anything that promises
disorder end DISCRIMINATION it was ac
cepted with loathing and disgust by the
very few mistaken Retormers who could
bring themselves to tolerate it and it was
rejected with scrn by nearly all who
meant what they said when they asked
for reform If Mr.. Greeley's unftness
for the position he covets cannot be
proved by showing what he promised to
pay for it, his unfitness is nevertheless
manifest and is not denied, that we know
of, by slbglc respectable journal, and
hardly by y single sensible man in the
country. After all that can be said or
cannot be said this fact remains--this
damning. unmstakable, and, SO far as
there is any danger Of Atr. Greeley's cleo
ton, this alarming fact, that he is the
candidate OF the party which in the ad
ministration Of local governments,and the
administration Of the general government,
has reached within the last quarter Of u
century, tn IN assumption of dcspOtlc
power, and tn its corrupt use, which has
cost us already one war of four years,
which is Il constant menace Of civil an
archy is constant threat of financial
r1in is a constant reproach to the cause
OF popular government, and is a uniform,
ii not an unanswerab,e, argument all over
the world against republics and in faver
of monarchy. Those who are willing to
risk the return Of such party to power
may vote for Greeley, because Of some
personal and selfish end they are to gain
by his election but any man of common
sense and common honesty, who has moth,
| ing to gain 0y 1t, but advocates his cleo
ton, seems to US tr be under deluslon
the most lamentable, or an infatuation lit
tie short Of insanity. 2
WHY DOUGLASS OPPOSES GREELEY q
From the National Era y
He has united his fortune with party,
based upon personal grievances and not
upon broad grounds Of national good.
Personal d!sAppointments, personal envy,
personal rcsentments, personal ambitions,
have united in personal opposition to
Grant and III personal favor of Horace
Greeley. Now we are utterly opposed to
this sort Of personal politics A man who
abandons,a party because his party has
not the same sense Of his personal merits
that he has himself, and who joins anoth-
er, hoping for better luck with the new
than with the old, may be courageous as
