The Portland daily press., 1872-10-15

They see with what facility Mr.. Greeley eats
his own words, recants his old opinions, eulo-
gizes to day the men whom he denounced |
with vehemence yesterday and rice cersa and
thew become disguised. They no longer care |
to look at the Tribune. 1t disturbs their |
equanimity to do so. A good many of these |
subscribers are simply waiting till their year
expires, so that the full extent of the loss the
establishment has suffered, will not be ascer.
tanned till about one year from the date when
its eccentric editor was engulfed in the Gin

But that it must be very great, is an
opinion generally entertained among experts.
The astonishing increase of circulation and
advertising which has happened to the Times
demonstrates it pretty clearly. The Times
prints more daily papers now than any of its
contemporaries and as for its weekly circula-
ton it has quadrupled within six months.
The detection of the Tribune has been a
grand thing for the Times" 1t has put as
much as a quarter of million of dollars into
the pockets of its propretors. And now
that Gen. Grants reelection has become
certainty the Times has SPLENDID future be-
fore it. 1t will be the great leader of adj
vanced political opinion in this country. For
tunately it is earnestly and sincerely attached
to those great principles of economy, reform
and strict construction of which Gen. Grant
and his upright finance minister have been
such effective champions. 1t will stand by
and for the right always,-defending no pol
icy that is not inherently just and never hesi-
tating to denounce official wrong doing no
matter where or with whom it originates.
1t will be no, ''thick or thin" supporter of
any administration but will deal with public
questions in fair and patriotic manner, and
will insist that the government shall be adj
ministered in the interests of humanity and
| abstract justice. @,hl4 3eBoh haa aIrila
Another of the good results of the field day
of the glorious Eighth of October, is the prom
| Use it gives us of the final redemption of New
! York. We shall pretty certainly carry the
| State by large majority. Grant has the
best chance of carrying the city, also, though
I presume Kernan's vote will be larger here
| than Dix's. There are a vast number of
Democrats who will not vote for Greeley.
| Since all hope of his election has fed this
number has prodigiously increased. Conse-
| quently Greeley win run thousands behind
| Herman in the city. know that wagers
have been made among gentlemen of sport
| ing procivities that Grant will have 10000
majority here AS our neighbors over the
river have the same kind of Democrats we
have, presume they will be subject to the
same influences. Now if New York and
| Kings should both give GRAM majorities, it
| didate for President will not carry single
| county in the State. In the sturdy old Bour-
bon Democratic counties like Green, Ulster
| and Schoharie, Greeley never had any
| chance. Those fellows will vote agains. him
| with as much relish as they voted for Gen.
| Jackson's reelection forty years ago. In
| Fenton's county of Chatauque, the Republi-
cans expect to increase their majorities.-
| They Will send assembly-men instructed to
vote for the reelection of Senator Conkling.
| The nominating caucus took especial pains to
insert that clause of instruction, not that the
candidates required any urging on that point,
| but by way of rebuke to their factious
| tOwnsman, who after being honored by the
Republican party with place and power for
| twenty years, deserted it, because he could
not get as much Federal patronage from Gen.
G ant as he thought he wasentitled to.
And by the by, among the grand results of
the canvass now drawing to triumphant
close, will be the vindication of that able, up
right and hightoned statesman, Senator Conk-
ling, who will be sent back to the Senate,
whether he will or no, amid the acclamatiors
of a grateful constituency to whom he has en-
deared hmselfby the superb moral courage,
with which he has met every RESPONSE
bility which the eXigencies of the times
threw upon him, With keen insight
into human nature he saw Greeleyism in its
true colors, earlier than most of us did He
throttled it in our State Convention of 1871,
when but for his matchless eloquence and
magnetic power we should have been be-
trayed into a hollow truce with treacherous
and INSCRIPTIONS foe. a %
His addresses during the campaign have
been among the most brilliant and effective
in the political history of the nation and he
has held from the beginning sublime faith
in the people which rendered it impossible
for him to entertain doubt that the over
thrAHu of the cansnirators would be signal and
overwhelming. When the mists of misrep-
reservation and calumny disappear in the
pure sunlight of another national victory of
RepublicaniSm, the country will gain better
knowledge and entertain a higher apprecia-
ton of such men as our gifted Senator, than
whom purer or more conscientious legisla-
tor never held place in the Senate of the
United States. YARMOUTH.
